Pretty much, except turn by turn directions. We use our Tom Tom more for that or occasionally mapy.cz. Not long ago, we tried using Google Directions and something odd happened, and we deemed it as unreliable. Otherwise, for internet searches Google still seems to yield the best results.

Do you have concerns about social media? If so, what is one?

not really concerns.

I don't use it, and I have my reasons for not using it- but I wouldn't call them concerns- more reasons why I don't need, I don't have family friends, I get news from other sources, I don't have any interest in uploading pictures of my dinner or short pointless statuses, etc etc. it's just one of the many things I don't use or feel the need to use.

are you a fan of the beatles? (the rock group, not the insects.)

Are you a fan of the Rolling Stones (rock group)?

Every morning I have a glass of chai. Then the rest of the day I’m drinking out of bottles. Unless I have a V8, then it’s a can. I hate doing dishes so I don’t use glasses if I can help it.

Do you have a morning and evening routine?

Well, I'm particularly regular about meal times, though breakfast has been later than usual, recently. My husband and I eat all three meals together, since he's also home. I usually make two (or even three) quite nice meals per day, because I love to cook/bake. Even when he was still working, breakfast and dinner were consistent and eaten together. [I grew up like this.] I'm good at taking my meds during meal times.I tidy up the house a little while after breakfast, each day.Often at night we watch recorded American late night comedy shows, the news, or the occasional movie or game/other show (Jeopardy, Chopped cooking competition). Sometimes Czech TV or movies.

Is there a game you're good at? What is it?

Generally not, with just the exception of a handful of songs from some. I am not that into Broadway type stuff, but I know many are.

What is the biggest city you have ever visited?

I think that would be Dallas Fort Worth, I think that’s bigger than DC. Plus I’ve been in D-FW as an adult, on my own. Never been to California or New York or Florida. So I haven’t been to the really big cities.

Do you ever just want to not do something that you know is good for you?

I have a bipolar blog, yes. I haven't added anything about my recent hospitalization, though.

What is your current favorite thing you've cooked?

I made some really good salmon tonight. My niece and I ate almost a whole pound.

When did you stop believing in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus?

It's funny. I stopped believing in Santa before the tooth fairy. One might think the opposite. My sister (she's 6 1/2 years older) was the spoilsport of Santa. I think I was 7 with Santa, but I forget exactly. Maybe 9 with tooth fairy.

What was your absolute favorite gift from a gift giving event?

my amazon alexa.

I have got so much use out of it, and to think that before when people asked me do you want one do you want one, I'm like no, no I don't. don't think I'd use it.
turns out I really did!

question: did you ever get a gift that you were unhappy with, but said it was fine to not hurt the person's feelings?. what was it

Dark and preferably with also nuts, fruit, coffee flavor, or maybe marzipan. I like chocolate, but am not as into it as most people, though. I prefer certain other things even more.

What is something you like that not a lot of others do?

Zero. That channel doesn’t get turned on till the Olympic Games are over.

Do you jump on the fad wagon or March to your own beat?

march to my own beat.

I can't remember the last time I did something just because it was a fad. I tend not to follow trends at all. if it ain't broken, don't try and fix it- or, if it works for you, why swap to something else just because others are.

did you ever like the tv series friends?

I found "Friends" amusing and diverting and fun but a little silly. I liked when Monica and Chandler got together. I liked the monkey too, "Marcel"? It was funny when Joey was "stunt-butt" for Marlon Brando too. I liked Phoebe a lot. Asked if she wanted to go to a movie, she replied, "No, i already saw one!" I liked her song about "Smelly Cat" too. I liked when she didn't have a gift for Joey's birthday so she just pressed her breasts against him and he was delighted!!!!!!

Have you ever thrown dishes away because you are too repelled to wash them?

Hugs,

Sweet Jane.

I think there was at least one or two I threw away, but only really decrepit ones that no one would miss. I have certainly thought about doing so many many times, when overwhelmed.

When you have little motivation to do anything, what do you still manage to get yourself to do?
