I’ve never understood the point of watching any sport. When I was younger I loved playing various sports including rugby when I was at the U, but watching, no. No plans to watch any of it.

Do you like going to the movies or do you prefer to watch movies at home?

also not a sports fan, the only thing I will watch is the grand national horse racing

when my grandfather was alive, we'd place bets on the national just for fun

so now the day of the national doubles as a day to remember him, too

to answer your question, I've done both.

but prefer waiting for the dvd

my question: do you have any special traditions or memories that you still carry out, even though the person who started it or used to do it with you is no longer here? (like me and the national)

When I lived with my grandma and we got thunderstorms, we would turn everything off (basically pretend we have no power) and go outside, sometimes dance in the rain until the storm either passes or it gets dangerous. I still do that, just alone now.

See raging vortex's question

Special tradition: when I was a young child my Dad took me and my great grandmother to see a Major League Baseball game every year. To this day I still go to a MLB game each year in memory of grandma.

What's your favorite weather?

Sure. I think that's normal for anyone though.

Do you or have you dye(d) your hair before?

I have. After my beautiful daughter was born with gorgeous red hair I’d try to match it. As I got older though I die it more auburn closer to what my own hair was. Haven’t dyed it in about three years tho, it’s salt and pepper now.

Do you have any tattoos?

I don't, but I wanted one behind my ear. My dad warned me about it becoming a problem with MRI, so I just didn't do it.

What do you think about fortune telling?

I think it’s great fun. I was quite good at tarot cards. When I was a college freshman I got my first pack and studied them as if it was a class I was taking. Kept them wrapped in black velvet in a cedar box. Had a special dress I wore and was very good at reading people. Of course it was the 70’s so I’d lots of company. I think fortune telling depends a lot on who’s doing it and to always take it with a grain of salt.

Have you ever had your fortune told? Cards, hands, stars!

Once just for fun (at maybe 17 or 18), a second time an Indian gentleman insisted on reading my palm. I sort of forget the prediction from the first. As for the second, he was right. He said I would not be with the man for much longer, that I was then currently with. But with another. I was angry at that prediction, though in reality the relationship was deteriorating, and I was in slight denial.

At what age was your first date? Do you ever see that person anymore?

I was fifteen and on a double date to a drive-in movie. And no, fortunately I have no contact with that abusive jerk. He did have a cool car, though.

Have you ever done any crafts? If so, what were they?

Ohh done a ton of crafts. Was the hey day of crafts back in the 70’s. Let’s see, made candles, the dipped kind, the pour in a mold kind, the look like sundays kind, the ice cube pour into a milk box. Dipped plastic flowers. Hemp planters, and wall hangings. String art. Shadow boxes. Making ornaments out of lace. Making angels out of reader’s digest. Models. Deacapodge. I’m sure there’s more, oh yeah, painting ceramics.

Do you have fun memories of doing crafts?

I do have wonderful memories of doing crafts - but I haven't done as many as you have! How wonderful, all the crafts you've done. Bead work remains my favorite craft. I do think about doing more beadwork, but my eyesight isn't what it used to be.



Do you consider yourself a creative person?

I was typing this for the crafts question before I refreshed the page: My mom and I used to make crafts when I was a child. She'd let me join her make Christmas wreaths and decorations out of felt and some wooden beads. We'd also make baskets out of rolled newspaper or magazine pages then finish them with varnish. Also, when I was in college, I joined some kids making accessories out of paper during my volunteer work. Those were the days.

Yes, I'm creative as my other job is related to design. I love colors and patterns, so I try to incorporate them into my projects. I also paint sometimes, but just too busy now.

How was your life like before the Internet?

It involved a lot more exercise and listening to music. I also read more novels back then.

What is one thing you wish you had a re-do on?

well ideally, I'd like a new family who loves and cares for me

but, since that's not going to be possible, I'll say my school days

I quit as a junior without a qualification to my name... it's super embarrassing

are you a good hospital patient?, or do you tend to argue with advice or ignore it

No. I stay as far away from them as possible. Even at age 5 they ignored me when I had a broken leg, after it had been operated on

I will not give details. It was NOT ''trivial'' but like a ''good girl'' I put up with their abuse and neglect.

Do you prefer not to dwell on issues like hospitals?

I dwell on issues too much. I shouldn't, because it ends up causing me more anxiety and depression, but I do
question: who has the most positive impact on your mental health?. why

My therapist and pdoc both do. Both understand me very well and are willing to work with me with whatever I need to work on.

How did you choose your screen name?

I wanted a new name and love ancient history nammu is the name of an ancient primal goddess. I figured there wouldn’t be any others and it would go well with my crone title.

Good question, where did you get your name?

having so many issues (both mental and physical) causes me to have a lot of diffrent emotions. in a day, I can have 11/ 12 diffrent emotions

well: they usually happen quite quickly, hense the " raging" part, and they spin around my mind like a vortex, never slowing or stopping, hense the vortex part

so put it together... raging vortex.

question: how would you rate your physical health compared to your mental. about the same?. worse?. better?

At this moment I'm mostly stable, mood-wise. Though my physical health could be a lot worse, it is bothering me more than my mental health right now. Some time back, I injured my right arm and shoulder (or possibly spine). I went to a neurologist who thought I had carpal tunnel. I'm wondering if it is more, though. Also, though it has been less often, I still wake up with a sore back (and right arm) and often wake up with numb or tingling hands, sometimes my right, sometimes left, sometimes both. I don't know what is causing that. It needs to be looked into more. Now that I have health insurance, I will. Other than that, I am due for blood tests. Almost one year ago I was put on blood pressure and cholesterol meds, but never had a follow-up set of blood tests. That needs to be finally done. I think my blood pressure is much improved, but I'm not sure about the others. I may be wrong, but I fear my kidney functioning could be worsened.

What is something in your life that is going well (or quite well)?
Thanks for this!

A game I play with Papa bear (my husband)

I've tried chess, I quite like that game but he doesn't like it much... might try that again, also scrabble, haven't played that for a while.

Favourite table or online (etc) game?

I am tempted to say go fish, it is a really simple (and fun) card game. their is also a game I like called old maid (it's another card game dating back to the victorian era)

but I'm going to say pop-up pirate. it was a game I played a lot as a kid... you put the swords in the pirate, and then if you put your sword in and the pirate pops up from the deck of the ship, then you lose. their are loads of games like that.. their's crocodile dentist, kerplunk etc etc

what is something you would really like to understand, or grasp, but no matter how hard you try you can't seem to get it?

I'm not sure, I'm still thinking about this question. I read it earlier.

I'm wondering about this same question, for someone else. What is something that you would really like to understand (or grasp) but no matter how much you try, you cannot seem to get it?
