1. Have you ever driven an electric car?
No, but I've drive a hybrid car for 12 years.
2. Do you live in an area that is prone to tornadoes?
Not any more. (But I dreamed about being in a tornado last night.)
3. How many closets does your house have?
The house I'm living in now has 7 closets, some of which are huge. My new house has 5 small and one large closet.
4. When was the last time you saw someone you went to high school with?
I interact with several of my high school friends daily on FB, but I haven't seen any of them face-to-face for decades.
5. Have you ever eaten moussaka?
Yes, and I like it but it's not what I usually choose to order at a Mediterranean restaurant.
6. What breed was the last dog you saw?
If we're counting dogs I saw pictures of, it was a Westie. If we're only counting dogs I saw in person, a Pit Bull.
7. How long have your parents been together (or how long were they together if they no longer are)?
My parents were married for 52 years before my mom passed.
8. What has been your most epic cooking failure?
It's a tie between the time that I dumped the mac & cheese flavoring packet into a full pot of water and the time I melted the kettle into a piece of slag.
9. Do you read other people's survey answers on here?
Yes
10. What's your bedtime routine?
Take meds, brush teeth, turn on O2 concentrator, creep into bedroom in the dark to avoid waking my bed mate, put body pillow under my knees, put comforter on the rest of me, put CPAP mask on.
11. Do you agree with the saying 'distance makes the heart grow fonder'?
The right distance makes the heart grow fonder, where distance actually means the right amount of together time and separate time. Wrong distances work out to feeling smothered or having the fondness start to fade from memory.
12. Have you ever been to Mexico?
No.
13. Do you have a bad temper?
I like alexcat's answer: I have been angry my entire life and I haven’t killed anyone yet.
Actually I am often grumpy but I don't have an explosive temper.
14. When was the last time it stormed where you live?
It rained in the last month, but I don't consider it a "storm" unless high winds and lightning are also involved. I think it's been about three or four months since the last one of those.
15. Do you ever fact-check the things you read on the internet?
Often.
16. How long would it take you to walk to the nearest store?
If the value of "walk" allows using my mobility scooter, five minutes. Otherwise, I'm sending someone else.
17. What five words best describe your mother's personality?
intellectual, reserved, protective, anxious, devoted
18. Do you know any transgender people?
Many.
19. What's your dream job?
Writing books.
20. How old were you when you got your first smartphone?
51 or so
21. Have you ever had a parrot sit on your shoulder?
Yes! I love parrots.
22. In the morning, do you eat breakfast first or brush your teeth first?
Breakfast
23. What's something you had to learn the hard way?
Not to give advice
24. What sort of window coverings do you have in your living room?
Most of the windows don't have coverings because they look out on a private courtyard, but the front window has a cellular shade.
25. Has anyone in your life ever treated you abusively?
Yes, but I had it a lot easier than many people I know.
26. What's the weather like right now?
Breezy, sunny, temperature in the 60s
27. How long has it been since your last breakup?
18 years, although one of my current relationships had a weird hiatus about 12 years ago.
28. Can you concentrate well while listening to music, or do you find it distracting?
I concentrate better when I listen to music without lyrics, but worse when there are lyrics
29. What's the name of the amusement park closest to your house?
Great America
30. Do you like The Rolling Stones?
Overall yes, although the sexism and racism of a lot of their lyrics annoy me.
31. What was the last single item you spent over $100 on?
A meal for two delivered to the house
32. What's something you've been struggling with lately?
The House Move Of Sisyphus (the OH and I are moving to a new house, but the process has taken 5 months so far and isn't even close to being over).
33. What was the last caffeinated drink you had?
Dr Pepper
