Shorts except for a skirt for church.

Do you give out candy on Halloween (no kids will come up our driveway so we don't even buy candy anymore)

Fuzzybear · Oct 19, 2020 at 01:16 AM

I would, kids usually don't visit though on Halloween

Favourite island or beach?

BeyondtheRainbow · Oct 19, 2020 at 01:23 AM

Last I've been too: Domican Republic

That I want to go because I'll probably like it more: Bahamas, Bermuda, Hawaii, Bali (i think that's islands?

Do you have a favorite river? (Sorry if this was asked recently. I can't remember)

Miss Laura · Oct 19, 2020 at 06:00 AM

Got to be my home city's river lol I live on the banks of the silvery Tay real name The River Tay. It flows through the east of Scotland i live on the coast. Its really long and connects the east of Scotland with the North Sea. If I had to say other than that then it would have to be The Bonnie Bonnie Banks Of Loch Lomond real name Ben Lomond or Loch Lomond. Again this is a long river and is central and to the west of Scotland. Have had many a picnic when I was a kid on the Lomond. Its gorgeous and the scenery is astounding its breath taking. If you love Scotland you'll equally love Loch Lomond

Oh also there is Loch Ness... you can visit our famous in house mythical creature The Loch Ness Monster aka Nessie. Are you a believe

Question: Have you ever had a flu jab? If you have what did you experience after the injection? Curious as I had mines on Sat and I'm currently experiencing a lot of tenderness, redness, soreness in my injection site and a dead, heavy arm oh and pain from shoulder to elbow

Soupe du jour · Oct 19, 2020 at 07:36 AM

I try to get a flu shot every year. I got one last week, since the flu season is starting and don't want it also because I would be afraid a flu could be rather covid-19. I had no issues this year or last, but I know what you're referring to about the slight redness on injection site and "heavy arm". It will surely pass. If you experience anything far worse, or if the discomfort persists a long while, you might wish to check with your doctor or pharmacist.

Are/were you a generally high energy person, by nature? I'm excluding any medication sedation and referring more to your baseline energy levels.

Polibeth · Oct 19, 2020 at 12:14 PM

I'm naturally hypomanic as my baseline state

Have you ever done volunteer work?

lightly toasted · Oct 19, 2020 at 12:17 PM

Without medication or depression or insomnia, I am a by nature a high energy person.

Are you good at wrapping presents, do your efforts produce a tidy and attractive parcel? Or do you find yourself apologizing to the gift recipient for the mess you've made with wrapping?

I have done volunteer work.

Are you good or not so good at wrapping presents?

Fuzzybear · Oct 20, 2020 at 10:52 AM

Good

Do you enjoy playing chess?

lightly toasted · Oct 20, 2020 at 12:12 PM

No, I was bullied into playing as a child , so there's no enjoyment in that game for me. My ex asked me to teach him to play once, and I was relieved to discover I couldn't even remember the basics.

Do you have weird long hairs growing in odd places? Such as your chin for women, maybe tops or shoulders or ears for men.

Fuzzybear · Oct 20, 2020 at 12:26 PM

No, I have a lovely glossy coat all over

favourite wild animal?

Yes, but I try to look for them often and rid myself of them. For some reason I had more of an issue with unwanted hair during one period of my life than others, including now. I'm not sure why. I often blamed it on Depakote, because it seemed at its worst during, and for a while after taking it. I could be blaming the wrong thing. Or maybe it was because of near obesity during that period. I was at my very heaviest while on Depakote and Invega. At that time, I was more than 25 lbs heavier than I am now, and very depressed.

How well do you take care of your skin?

Birds. All kinds of birds.

Do you take good care of your skin?

lightly toasted · Oct 20, 2020 at 02:30 PM

I wash it, and I exfoliate ever second shower - that's pretty much it. So, no I guess I don't.

Does your hair tangle easily?

That changes frequently. I guess the most recent favorite has been steak or pork loin with a delicious green peppercorn cream sauce. Both contain herbs and liquors (different for each meat) in addition to the green peppercorns. I love pepper!

What is your favorite tongue twister?
