Are you good at bargaining with somebody when buying something expensive? Pretty good when buying cars.
The last time you had to bargain with a seller did you get the "bargain" you were asking for? When I bought my car a year ago, I got the deal I was hoping for.

So are you planning on having a Lazy Sunday today, or do you already have anything else planned? The only thing I have planned is to get my car cleaned. Otherwise, a lazy day.

Tell us about the last time you made plans for the weekend, or any other day, but some unexepected event came about and you had to cancel your plan(s). The only thing that comes to mind is when a couple of co-workers and I had to come to work on a Saturday sometime last year. We were planning on staying all day (from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.), but our team leader at the time told us that the Internet was down and did not know when it would come back up (we need the Internet to do our jobs since we use Web-based applications), so we were dismissed not even an hour into the shift, which was nice and unexpected.
When cancelling original plans, how good are you at coming up with different plans at the spur of the moment? Not very good at spur-of-the-moment plans. I need to make such plans in advance. In any event, I just "go with the flow."
Bonus Questions:
Are you good at bargaining with somebody when buying something expensive? I'm fair at it, but could be better.
The last time you had to bargain with a seller did you get the "bargain" you were asking for? When I bought my car back in January, the dealer wanted to sell it at a higher price than advertised, so I brought a printed copy of their ad showing the lower price and I said that's what I wanted to pay. They agreed to sell it to me for the lower price and I was happy.

Not when one plays "Trucker Roulette" most days of their life.

Thanksgiving about 8 years ago, we were either at our gathering place or on our way when we (my Husband and his 4 brothers) got the call that Aunt Evie had passed away. Everyone stopped what they were doing and headed to Rockford, Illinois. The boys were Pall Bearers. We had Thanksgiving Supper at the Machine Shed that year in Rockford.
When cancelling original plans, how good are you at coming up with different plans at the spur of the moment?
No problem here, again "Trucker Roulette" plays a big part of adaptation.
Bonus Questions: Are you good at bargaining with somebody when buying something expensive?
Yes, I know what I will pay for an item and they take it or leave it, either way I don't care because someone else will take it if they don't.
The last time you had to bargain with a seller did you get the "bargain" you were asking for?
Yes
Just For Fun: If you and 6 others were to be stranded on an island, like the folks in the TV show Gilligan's Island, which one of those characters would you be most like? - The Skipper? I don't like water so not this one - Gilligan? I don't play well with others who think it is fine to hit me with their hat so not this one. - The Professor? I'm not quite smart enough to be a professor and I do not like button down shirts so not this one either. - Mr. Howell Not enough money for this one - Mrs. Howell I refuse to wear a straw hat with flowers on it all the time so not this one. - Ginger I am not self centered so definitely not her either. - Maryann? I am not so gullible or nice so she is out as well.
I guess I will have to be satisfied with being a "guest" strandee.

So are you planning on having a Lazy Sunday today, or do you already have anything else planned? I didn't know it was Lazy Day today, I went for a two hour walk. Oh well.
Do you typically make your plans for the weekend ahead of time? A couple of days in advance maybe, for the sake of my OH. I'm quite happy to make plans on the spur of the moment but he doesn't like that.
Tell us about the last time you made plans for the weekend, or any other day, but some unexepected event came about and you had to cancel your plan(s). We had planned to stop at a campsite on Thursday night on our way back from Lapland but first we got lost and ended up a couple hours delayed, which turned out to be a good thing really as a storm came just as we were getting near the campsite so we changed our minds and drove all the way home. If we hadn't been delayed we would have got to the campsite while the weather was nice and then would have probably ended up with a tree falling on us or something
When cancelling original plans, how good are you at coming up with different plans at the spur of the moment? Excellent. I love spur of the moment things.
