Questions Bipolar Version #8

blue with flowers painted on it

what was your favorite toy as a child?

my toy robot

you put casette tapes in the front of the robot and each one was an interactive mission- so you had mission to mars, under the sea, journey to the centre of the earth, they taught you stuff and also had other fun activities that went along with the theme

lots of fun until it got broken.

question: do you have anything left from your childhood?. toys, other objects, or is it all thrown out?

I have a tiny blue & colorful silk horse. I bought it in Berkeley, California when I was 10. I also have a tiny doll that my sister bought for me when I was 5 years old. The doll has bright orange hair and a teeny, tiny "mod" dress on. She originally came in a pretend perfume bottle. So, wow...those 2 items are over 50 years old! Yikes!!



Do you enjoy being in a swimming pool?

Sometimes. It sort of depends on how many people are in it and/or what the expectations are in it. By the latter, I mean if other swimmers expect me to be doing only laps. I prefer to just be in the pool, splash around, swim casually, or meditate. Sometimes if there are too many people (or kids) it's uncomfortable. I'd like a private swimming pool. My husband would LOVE one! That, or a private pond/lake or the sea to swim in.

At what age did you learn to swim (if you know how)? And at what age did you learn to ride a bike (if you know)?

I was young when I learned to swim, 1st grade what’s that 6-7 years old? Mum too me to the city pool and dropped me off in the wee early hours. The water was freezing. I’ve no memories of learning to ride a bike. I had two much older sisters so when I want to ride their bikes I just taught myself. I do remember being too small to sit on the seat and pedal, I had to stand.

Did you take off in the summer and were gone all day with your parents not knowing where you went?

nope. wasn't really aloud outside to play.

did you ever do any after school activities?

Lots. sports, band, school newspaper, problem solving competition

are you being more careful now that the delta variant is so rampant?

I am. I’ve gone back to wearing a mask. Even vaccinated you can catch it, it’s just likely that you’ll be asymmetric and a carrier. But I don’t want mum to get it.

Who is your hero, and why?

My hero right now is my Dad who let me move in with him and his wife when I left a bad relationship.

Are you left or right handed?

Right handed.

Laundry: love it or hate it?

Definitely can't say I love it, but I don't hate washing, drying, or folding (and putting away) laundry. I suppose the folding part is most annoying of those three tasks. What I do kind of hate is ironing. Since my career job ended, a long while back, I've virtually stopped it.

What seemingly old-fashioned task do you still sometimes perform?

washing up.

I have a dishwasher,, but honestly I prefer to do it by hand.

have you ever been to the circus

I have been to the circus, long ago

Favourite ride(s) at theme parks etc?

my favorite used to be a boat tour of a fizzy pop factory. I liked the music, the fact it was slow, the fact that you could buy the fizzy pop when you got off, and the fact that it was a family ride- anyone could enjoy it because of its theme.

nowadays, getting on theme park rides is a little difficult with my weight, but I can still watch them and follow the news..

do you enjoy flavoured water to drink?

I haven't tried any (unless you mean the flavoured fizzy pop etc I used to drink long ago)

Favourite flavoured water?

I like the peach one. yum!

what do you like on your toast?

Jam. Currently homemade peach jam. No butter.

If you could paint your bedroom any color what would it be?

Mm I think a nice soft light peach would look good with the bedspread my daughter bought me. It’s off white with a blue India pattern on it.

What’s your favorite type of activity?

eating a peach

lol.... it isn't, but I was sensing a peach theme so thought I'd have a bit of fun with it... lol
anything that involves 1 person- surfing the net, watching a movie, listening to music, also I prefer inside activities to outside.

last time you went to the beach?. did you enjoy it?

Went to the beach on Saturday night for fresh air, a nice walk and to collect stones to make a rock garden. I live 20 minutes from a beach and feel very lucky to do so.

Question: When was the last time you cried?

Sent from my SM-G980F using Tapatalk

last night, thinking about everything I've never gotten to do in life.

do you enjoy eating outside?

Yes, as long as the weather is pleasant and there aren't too many bugs/flies bothering me. Often in New Jersey, it was too hot and humid in the summer. It's milder where I am now.

In NJ we had a nice umbrella covered eating table and chairs on our deck, but we left them for the house buyers. Now we do have patio furniture and an umbrella, but only coffee tables. No dining table. Recently we had guests over, but ate food that didn't require forks and knives (open-faced sandwiches and then later sausages roasted over a pit fire).

What are your favorite picnic foods?

none.

in all the picnics I remember attending growing up, I wouldn't eat anything.
sausage rolls as long as they are warm. I won't eat cold sausage rolls, and I suppose potato chips as well.

have you ever stayed in a tent?

Yes I have. Abet when I was much much younger and thought it was an adventure. Now no way. Maybe I’d consider glam camping if it came with a modern bathroom and I’d somehow have the money for it! 😃

Do you like science fiction? Why not, or which is your favorite?

to be honest I've no thoughts about it either way. I don't dislike it, but I've also not really read/ watched enough of it to really say I'm a fan

I enjoyed the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and I watched dr who when david tenant played the doctor.

I'm not a massive fan of starwars, but the few episodes of star trek I've seen are okay- but not seen that much of it to form an opinion

it may be something that I explore in the future. more science fiction

what house would you be in if you attended hogwarts?
