Questions for Monday, 13 February 2023

1. Do you have a matching canister set? What's in them?
Don't have any.

2. What jewelry are you now wearing? A watch. It's the only jewelry I ever wear these days.

3. What general worldwide zoos have you visited? The Bronx Zoo (NYC) when I was a kid and the National Zoo in Washington DC. I used to live across the street from the National Zoo entrance on upper Connecticut Avenue when I was 19 - 20. All other zoos have been small ones.

4. Did you ever tour a factory to see how things are made? What? Utica Club Beer in Utica, NY. Totally wasted on me. I had root beer after the tour. I worked in a factory for a few months where they made parts for helicopters used during the Vietnam War but I didn't make them. I just tested them (Quality Control) and no one would tour a factory that just made parts. Plus, it was off limits to the public. Don't think I would tour a place that made things, now, if I wasn't allowed to take photos and that would probably be most of them.

5, How many people have you known in your life that you would have liked to marry, with a fair chance of success? In hindsight, two, before the one I did marry. At the time, marriage never occurred to me. One guy, I treated badly who didn't deserve it and wish I could have a do over.

6. What city/metro that you never lived in, do you know your way around in best? Metro = don't say Boston if you lived in Cambridge. Dover, Delaware where I go on vacation. I'm not a city person at all.

7. Ever work the all-night shift? No

8. Ever miss a plane, bus or train that you had a ticket/reservations for? No

9. Did you ever sleep in a bed with fleas? No

10. Can you get up by yourself from lying on the floor? Maybe, If I had something that doesn't move to help me pull myself up. My arms are strong. It might take a while. By "by yourself" I'm thinking you mean another person.
Do you ever lie flat on the floor? Why not? Why would I? I can't think of a reason to lie flat on the floor at my age. I don't sit or kneel on the floor, either, which is why I usually need help to assemble large things.

Questions for Monday, 13 February 2023

1. Do you have a matching canister set? What's in them?

Yes. I live in Texas, so it's safe to keep food in airtight canisters. Some are matching, some not but they contain sugar, flour, potato starch, rice, cereal, noodle, variety of grains, spices, etc. I also have some canisters aka twist off jars with small stuff like nails screws, washers, hooks, anchors, etc. sorted by size or use

2. What jewelry are you now wearing?

Nothing. I remove all my jewelry when at home.

3. What general worldwide zoos have you visited?

In many US and European cities.

4.Did you ever tour a factory to see how things are made? What?

Yes, when I was in school, it was a part of curriculum: dairy, furniture, glass, probably some more - I don't remember.

5, How many people have you known in your life hat you would have liked to marry, with a fair chance of success?

I was briefly married and had few great relationships, but I am not a wife material. Not interested in marriage.

6. What city/metro that you never lived in, do you know your way around in best? Metro = don't say Boston if you lived in Cambridge.

Berlin, Houston, Austin, Dallas, some smaller cities.

7.Ever work the all-night shift?

No. I never worked any shifts.

8. Ever miss a plane, bus or train that you had a ticket/reservations for?

Years ago a plane. When they couldn't find my ticket in the system.

9. Did tou ever sleep in a bed with fleas?

Huh? Didn't sleep with any bugs.

10. Can you get up by yourself from lying on the floor? Do you ever lie flat on the floor? Why not?

Yes, l can, and I slept on the floor few times too when the bed was too soft to sleep on. I am used to sleep on very firm mattresses since my childhood and all my mattresses are extra firm at home. I request firm mattress when traveling.
They feel like l am lying on the floor


Thank you, arr for the Monday Questions
