***Once. I was running out of gas while driving thru Atlanta, Georgia during rush hour. There was a lady sitting by the road. She wasn't actually trying to get money from people but was not turning down money handed out the car windows. I was in need of some good karma, so I decided to give her a dollar. Instead of grabbing a dollar, I grabbed a ten dollar bill. Decided to give it to her anyway. Right then traffic started moving fast. I was able to merge onto the highway without any problems. Made it to the airport without running out of gas. I got the full ten dollars of good karma.

1. Are you a banger? When closing a door or cupboard or fridge, do you hold the handle until it seats, or give it a push and let inertia take care of it? - Quietly. I'm not an angry person...
2. Can you whistle? Loud? In tune? - I can but hardly ever and never in front of anyone.
3. Have you ever conversed with a hermit? - In some ways I am one. I spent the entire day yesterday not speaking to anyone.
Probable answer is never.
4. Did you ever give money to a stranger, besides a few coins? - I only remember once who lied to me. I'd go broke around here if I gave money to all that asked me. Not so much the neighborhood but the city...
5. With what cutting tool do you cut your toe-nails? - The horror. I get regular pedicures and manicures.
I have a special tools like they have at nail salons for both but hardly use them.
6. Do you eat any part of a main course with your fingers - Sometimes chicken wings and chicken breast although concerning the latter I almost always buy boneless. I also eat Mexican type food once in a while.
7. About how many full-length movies have you seen that were subtitled? - Zero.
8. How dangerous would you say your neighborhood is? - Tough question. This neighborhood is okay but not perfect. The city needs major improvement but it's not as bad as what one might think...
9. Do you own a pair of gloves for any purpose except cold weather? - Don't.
10. In winter, do you say "dress warm" or "dress warmly"? - Neither. I just do it.
1. Are you a banger? When closing a door or cupboard or fridge, do you hold the handle until it seats, or give it a push and let inertia take care of it? Only let it bang shut if I have something in my hands.
2. Can you whistle? Loud? In tune? In the words of Lauren Bacall in To Have or Have Not, "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.” I can do that kind of whistling or at least I could. Haven't tried recently. The kind of whistling I can't do is when you put your fingers in your mouth and blow to get someone's attention/hail a cab.
3. Have you ever conversed with a hermit? Yes, as a matter of fact. Keith Hopwood and Karl Green from Herman's Hermits when I was 15 years old.
4. Did you ever give money to a stranger, besides a few coins? Not that I recall.
5. With what cutting tool do you cut your toe-nails? Podiatrist does it. Don't know the name of the tool used.
6. Do you eat any part of a main course with your fingers Yup. Ribs, chicken wings, hamburgers/hot dogs on a bun, barbecue on a bun, French fries, corn on the cob and if I ate seafood, I would eat clams without utensils.
7. About how many full-length movies have you seen that were subtitled? I'm pretty sure Night and Fog (award winning film about The Holocaust made in the 1950s) was entirely subtitled since it was made by the French. I have it on DVD but I'm too lazy to look. Does the whole movie have to be subtitled to count? Das Boot was subtitled. Saw that a long time ago. A few WWII movies are partially subtitled. The Godfather was partially subtitled in the scenes where Michael Corleone was hiding out in Italy and married an Italian girl. That was a long sequence in that movie. Pretty sure Tora! Tora! Tora! was subtitled, too. The Pianist was partially subtitled, too, if I remember correctly. I'm going to say, less than 10.
8. How dangerous would you say your neighborhood is? Not at all in my part of town.
9. Do you own a pair of gloves for any purpose except cold weather? I might have a pair of rubber gloves under the sink for cleaning, a box of "Covid gloves" from 2020 and a box of hair dye with gloves.
10. In winter, do you say "dress warm" or "dress warmly"? Warmly is grammatically correct but I don't usually say either because it has to be below 40 before I put on a coat. I just usually throw on a hoodie over a long sleeved shirt.
1. Are you a banger? When closing a door or cupboard or fridge, do you hold the handle until it seats, or give it a push and let inertia take care of it? Close it quietly

1. Are you a banger? When closing a door or cupboard or fridge, do you hold the handle until it seats, or give it a push and let inertia take care of it? It depends on the door. Some are self-closing and others will slam if you don't close them carefully. I try not to bang.
