Today’s Question:
Have you had a dental filling (or crown, etc.) fall out while you were sleeping ?
Not sure.
Had a filling come out a few wks. ago but it may have been while eating something crunchy & hard so I didn't catch it before it was consumed...
It was located on back side of backmost upper molar, so I didn't notice filling was missing until some time later.
Have you ever lost an item down the drain (of plumbing fixture-sink, bath, toilet) ? Not that I can recall, though is possible. If so, was it retrievable ? N/A
Have you found forgotten items (such as receipts or coins) in your pockets (of jacket or trousers)-weeks, months, even years later ?
Yes, often folded (unused, of course ) tissues-bc. I always worry about being caught someplace with a runny nose
Which do you own/wear more of, "solids" (each piece of clothing is a single color)-
or "stripes" (clothing with multicolored patterns & designs-incl. stripes, dots, flowers, tie-dye, etc.) ?
Solids, but have been buying more patterns lately so is closer to reaching 50/50.
Extra Credit:
How many nights, (0—7) in an average week, do you feel like you have gotten “enough” sleep (feeling “rested” when you wake up) ?
Varies from week to week (and time of year/season)...
usually at least 4 out of 7 days I feel I've gotten enough sleep, some weeks I'm lucky and it'll be like 6 or 7 even.
Bonus:
Have you ever watched a televised “roast” (comedy event mocking a public figure) ?
Yes, though mostly don't care for it, "put-down" comedy (generally) feels more mean than funny to me.
Watched a couple "White House Correspondents' Dinner" events via the internet-they're not quite the same as a roast...
I have mixed feelings. Guess it depends on how it's done, the participants & the emotional tenor of it all.
“Springfield” is a very common place-name in the U.S. Is there a “Springfield” city/town/county near you ?
Yes, there's one further north in VT & one south in Mass.-not sure whether NH has one...
If you reside in the USA, does your locality have an area, street, or park (public place) named “Washington” ?
Yes-a street in my current town, also an avenue & a park in previous place I lived (Albany NY).
If you reside outside the US, do you know of a seemingly ubiquitous, frequently used & reused, place-name there ? N/A
Just for Fun: Have you ever been inside a yurt (or structural derivative of that design) ? Yes, several times-a counselor I've seen has yurt as home office.
