Last week. I expect another this week

What is your favorite kind of chocolate bar?

LadyShadow · Feb 11, 2023 at 09:02 PM

I have to say Snickers. Love me a Snickers.

What kind of coping skills do you have for hard times?

Not very good ones. I guess listening to music.

Would you rather be rich and sad or poor and happy

Definitely poor and happy.

How have you been doing with hygiene (or other physical maintenance) stuff lately?

Crazy Hitch · Feb 12, 2023 at 10:06 AM

I shower every second day. Can’t manage every single day but I get dressed every day and look well groomed apart from the ridiculous weight gain from meds.

Are you at your ideal weight?

Aurelius710 · Feb 12, 2023 at 01:40 PM

Not really. Meds played a big part in my weight gain too. Plenty of stuff I want to do, but need to lose weight to make that realistically happen.

Anyway...

When was the last time you cruised around somewhere with no particular place to go?

LadyShadow · Feb 12, 2023 at 09:35 PM

Longer than I care to imagine.

What's your ideal day off consist of?

Getting my nails done my hair done and going for a massage. I work full time so I don’t get my Wednesday off anymore. Bugger.

Did you / are you going to celebrate Valentine’s Day?

BeyondtheRainbow · Feb 13, 2023 at 11:55 PM

We usually do fondue dessert on Valentine's. Not sure if we are this year; I haven't talked to my mom about it.

Do you crave foods when you are depressed? Or do you lose your appetite?

Fondue sounds yummy! Gosh it's been a long time since I had it. As for craving foods when depressed, an absolute yes. Depression tends to cause me to eat more than I should, and mostly sweets. I often gain weight when depressed. When stable, I eat more moderately. When hypomanic/manic, I eat less than usual.

What do you crave most for snacks? For example, salty stuff, sweets, dairy, etc.

Crazy Hitch · Feb 14, 2023 at 09:13 AM

I tend to alternate between sweet and salty. Sometimes it's savoury - crackers and cheese in my fridge, or sometimes it's Lindt chocolate balls. All depends on what type of mood I was in when I did my weekly shopping on Saturday.

How many hours sleep do you get, on average, per night?

Nammu · Feb 14, 2023 at 11:07 AM

My average seems to be 6 hours. But I stay in bed 8-9 hours so my back gets rested. I’d like a whole lot more though.

Do you watch game shows or play games on your phone?

Crazy Hitch · Feb 15, 2023 at 01:09 AM

I’m more likely to play games on my phone like Wordle than watch a game.

Do you own pets?

Not at this time. Sadly, my last pet died way too young, a few years ago. He was a Hahn's macaw (parrot). I would love to adopt a new pet after our move to our new house. I've been thinking about a cat (I had one for years as a kid through 19 years old). My husband still leans towards parrots. Of course I love parrots, but the loss of our last one was very hard on me. Also, I think a cat is a better choice for me as parrots can be so demanding.

Cat, dog, bird, reptile, hampster/gerbil/guinea pig, or other "person"?

Nammu · Feb 15, 2023 at 11:16 AM

Cat or dog. I had a great dog growing up and she spoiled me for any other dogs. She was so smart and trainable. I did adopt a cocker spaniel when I was 19 but he had too much energy for my always being at work, school or just out. So I gave him to a family with a stay at home wife. He really needed that. Cats I’ve had a couple. Just one at a time. I am on SSDI and worry about vet bills, so limit myself.

How about you? If money was no object what pets would you have?

Crazy Hitch · Feb 15, 2023 at 11:56 AM

If money was no object I'd still stick to my dogs and cats because I love them. Sadly my cat passed away last year. So now I have 3 dogs.

If you could meet one celebrity, alive or dead, who would you most like to meet?

Nammu · Feb 15, 2023 at 04:52 PM

Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She’d be really cool to talk to.

Same question.

*Beth* · Feb 15, 2023 at 08:53 PM

I'd like to sit down and have a conversation with Joaquin Phoenix. For some reason I feel like we'd have a lot to talk about.

Same question...

Crazy Hitch · Feb 15, 2023 at 10:23 PM

Nelson Mandela. He's such a legend.

What are your plans this coming weekend?

swimmingly · Feb 18, 2023 at 09:10 PM

I'm going to run a 12-step meeting and play a little on my ukulele.

What does President's Day mean to you?
