staying up late in bed reading because the book is too good to put down?

[Danik 2016]

No one loses anything by not watching Big Brother. Am quite relieved you don't know it.

[Danik 2016]

Me too.

I use one today for such things that have fixed dates like medical consultations, dentists.
Used it much more when I was still working.

Meetings?

[tailor STATELY]

I don't use a planner, I rather rely on my digital google calendar exclusively on my cellphone/computer.

Aye, meetings are ok. Having meetings in church is like obeying an unofficial commandment (tongue in cheek of course). Have had a few meetings at our library recently as our Thursdays at Two poetry anthology book is being prepared :)

Writing snail mails ?

[Danik 2016]

Poem Anthology sounds fine!

Usually nay!

Writing paper cards, postcards or letters on special ocasions?

[bounty]

i still send letters danik, though not especially on special occasions. I did however write a birthday letter a couple months ago. and im about to send a quick note to an old friend whose address I found online and whom I have seen since the early 80s! that'll be fun. and then another small letter seeing if I can convince another old friend to join in on a canoe trip. so if we can expand the conditions of your question, then major aye!

using pen colors other than dark blue or black when writing the aforementioned postcards or letters?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye with special cards... quasi-recently: handwritten cards with an acrostic of my Great-Grandchildren's and their Mother's first names... but only using black ink - Parker would object otherwise, she thinks and writes better in black.

Naming inanimate objects ?

[bounty]

I tend not to do it myself, even though I like the practice, so aye. fond memories of one of my best friend's parent's old plum-colored cutlass that we used to drive around in during high school and early college years, Betsey!

plus its really helpful for storms and ships and other boats and judge smails putter in caddyshack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4Ipv2L3iwg

finishing a book even if you don't like it?

[Danik 2016]

Lol, taylor. Parker used to be the trademark of special refined pens, so your text reads almost like a pun. I do it sometimes. Microsoft asked me for the name of my PC and I told them it was Dante. The current tablet is Daneraldo II and the mobile is Danubio.

Only when necessary. Doing it presenty because reading a book for a forum award.

Keeping late reading or writing hours?

[tailor STATELY]

Parker is coincidently a Parker pen, black lower and silver upper... very sleek.

Keeping late reading or writing hours?: Amen/Aye... My internal clock has a busted spring.

Emergency kit ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay, should have.
Same question?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye

Ever had a near-death experience ?

[Danik 2016]

Naaaaaaay!
You?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... nearly drowned.

Ever had a life changing epiphany ?

[Danik 2016]

That is not so clear for me. There were life changing people, animals and events, but looking back their influence seems to have been more gradual.

Karmic relationships?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye, but not in the sense one might think. I believe in a pre-existence where we had relationships that may resonate in this earthly existence.

Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

But that's what I mean. I think the usual idea is that there is a debt situation in relation to a former existence. But it might have been a positive situation.

Avatars/ guides?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye

Favorite superhero ?

[Danik 2016]

Used to have superheroes from books, like Robin Hood. They usually were brave people. Later some public figure that did something extraordinary for example Malala. At present I seem to have run out of superheroes.

Do you have favorite villains?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... Perhaps my favorite was Khan in Star Trek Wrath of Khan.

The following situation has caused me angst:

Have you ever waved at someone you thought was waving at you, but they were actually waving at someone else ?

[Danik 2016]

Sure, I think more than once. But for me it was just a misunderstanding. I didn't have special feelings.
Have you ever been greeted by someone you didn’t remember who the person was?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... embarrassing.

Have you ever had a funny or embarrassing moment during a video conference call ?

[Danik 2016]

Aye. Several. Electronics usually don't work as they should.
Sun glasses?

[bounty]

I think girls look great in them!

guys look somewhat arrogant.

ive never worn them myself.

so major aye, nay and nay, but we'll still say the ayes have it!

just because im about to have some to use up inherited food in my refrigerator...

green olives on pizza?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye to sunglasses... my lenses (like the ones in my pix) change in sunlight to photogray.

My current favorite is Yongsung Kim... https://www.google.com/search?num=10&newwindow=1&client=opera&sca_esv=a9a17715c624a2d7&sxsrf=AHTn8zomZKCoiTHZKsrTzx4wh1YiWaYC-A:1742277049727&q=Yongsung+Kim&udm=2&fbs=ABzOT_CWdhQLP1FcmU5B0fn3xuWpA-dk4wpBWOGsoR7DG5zJBsxayPSIAqObp_AgjkUGqel3rTRMIJGV _ECIUB00mupujJbyw82c7vlYBaFJu3BmNAQzAFr6obCTLutWM1 7qnmiOU-zUTKn7eXIlsD8HYbVMoPCUoQ-8w2eBI-HPhrVEu8E-X-pRJi-IDF2DFIJu34aAXq7SSNs64lEYJnUMf4GCLzulQQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwigxZjl95KMAxWznokEHUn-NuQQtKgLegQIExAB&biw=1162&bih=576&dpr=1.65

Do you like to sing ?

[Danik 2016]

Very imaginative and expressive!
A moderate aye
Do you like cooking?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... my repertoire is quite lacking.

Are you a workaholic ?

[Danik 2016]

I was at other times.
Same question?

[tailor STATELY]

Same

Keeping up family traditions ? (cat tail swishing over my keyboard)

[Danik 2016]

Àaiiii!
The most important of all, the German language.

Circus?

[tailor STATELY]

Have you ever daydreamed on your way to somewhere and never got there by consequence ?

[Danik 2016]

I certainly daydream a lot, but I always get there somehow, because I have to.

Ever fell asleep while watching TV ?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye, often; just this morning even.

Volunteer work ?

[Danik 2016]

Me too.

Aye. But never did myself.

Community meetings?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... just the wildfire updates lately though.

Purchasing online: Amazon or eBay or Alibaba ?

[Danik 2016]

I wish you and your community a better year

None of them.Used Amazon when t site was new and very good. Don't know the two others. Use local online stores like Magazine Luisa, Casas Bahia, etc.


Online library?

[tailor STATELY]

Thank you :)

Ah...

nay... not so much; I thought I would use Project Gutenberg and others more, but turns out I google or otherwise search the web as I see fit. I did purchase two books after Thursdays at Two poetry yesterday from our library's $1.00 room: Moby Dick and a Sci Fi anthology book from some random year... I was reading Moby Dick online but was doing so sloggingly. Grapes of Wrath never really flew either online. Reminds me to listen to some Moby Grape this afternoon :)

Same question ?

[bounty]

my mother got me a kindle many years ago for a present, and a very thoughtful one at that. I haven't used it much, and I really should by way of doing a better job of appreciating it and her, but in general, I love the thought of online books, so aye.

books with regular use of foreign words and sentences?

[Danik 2016]

I prefer tablets for digital books: the reading surface is so much bigger, if I download a good reading up, I'll have all the facilities of Kindle and more and I will have wifi on my tablet.

Nay unless this use makes sense in the text then aye?

Eating while reading?

[tailor STATELY]

Use my 10" Kindle Fire mostly for reading from my church's resource of talks/scriptures... just the right size and I can scale the font size. So, I guess I'm changing my answer to Aye in a previous question.

Nay to foreign text / epigraphs.

Nay, generally to no eating while I read.

Spinning a pencil/drumstick on one's hand ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1NkNqYLE8s (I can't but I want to learn) :)

[Danik 2016]

Nay to eating while reading
Whistling ?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye

Do you believe that learning, in and of itself, can be an adventure ?

[Danik 2016]

A big Aye!
Sailing?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye. I've only sailed as a passenger, once, in a relatively small craft nearly 40 years ago... It was wonderful :)

Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

I never sailed. Traveled once or twice by motorboat and liked it.

Making up stories?

[tailor STATELY]

Used to travel by motorboat with my dad's work associates. One was a professional hydroplane competitor who live on Lake Washington, Washington State... We got to go on many excursions in his everyday boat while the adults water skied circa late '50's early '60's. I tried waterskiing once back then and once in California, 1979/80?, and never was able to get the knack of it.

Stories, lol, Aye.

Do you make amusing guffaws/snorts/other when you laugh hard ?

[Danik 2016]

Sure.

Do you have a mania?

[tailor STATELY]

Google AI: "Mania is a period of abnormally elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, often accompanied by increased energy, activity, and impulsivity, which can interfere with daily functioning and is a key feature of bipolar disorder." Maybe: "Mixed Mania: A combination of manic and depressive symptoms, such as elevated mood mixed with anxiety (Aye), irritability (meh) , and insomnia (Aye)." Heavy on the anxiety spectrum that is being dealt with - with mixed results.

But then there's this (types of mania/obsessions/compulsions): https://www.hitbullseye.com/Vocab/Types-of-Manias.php
Maybe Opsomania: An intense craving for dark chocolate and chxn.



Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

Lol. Or maybe a lighter form of obsession. In my case a certain mania with illnesses.
Looks like a very vocabulary about manias but could not get at it became they want me to enroll in a certain course,

At distance courses?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... no more long distance walks... 2-miles my limit, then only on a flat course.

Do you stumble with or ever forgotten the punch line of a joke ?

[Danik 2016]

Probably both.

Any whatever courses in the net?

[tailor STATELY]

Snacking between meals ?

[Danik 2016]

Used too. Now trying to avoid them.

Favorite snacks?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... tangerines, dark chocolate, popcorn, and baby carrots :)

Given that you would retain the knowledge of this life, would you want a do-over ?

[Danik 2016]

Baby carrots were a must at a time! I'll take a look if I still can find them.
I would like to do all differently.
Keep a diary ?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... I tried a journal for a very short time and a blog for a time (which led to writing more poetry :) , and gave up both. My fb page is mostly shared funny stuff I find on the web (mostly cats, I think) and poetry and uplifting shared posts... no politics.

Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

Nay. I had a beautiful diary with lock when young but I never got further than reporting on the weather.

Do you still keep old photo albums?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... everything is on the cloud and/or phone now.

[Danik 2016]

Me too!

Ayyyyyyyye!

Black Forest?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye!

Do you like being the center of attention ?

[Danik 2016]

Tough question. It depends:sometimes yes, sometimes I hate it.
Same question?

[tailor STATELY]

Nay... I prefer to blend into the background, which is hard for a person of my size, but I manage.

Does your printer have a scanner ?

[Danik 2016]

I think scorpions are usually more confy in a shady nook.

It has one that doesn't work any more.

Do you like taking pictures with your phone?

[tailor STATELY]

testing due to ban notice

[tailor STATELY]

Lol... I give up.

[tailor STATELY]

So true

Aye... we just had an event at church Saturday where I took a number of pix of our chili cookoff/silent auction fundraiser for our youth... and some family history stuff where we use a Family Search app to see who we are related to in the room for those who participate (I had a bunch)... I took screenshots of the results... need to upload to our church's fb page tonight :) Also took some pix 2-Saturdays ago at a Nature area with those of our Thursdays at Two poetry group... need to polish up my poetry from that outing

Do you take time to smell the roses ?

(too funny)

[Danik 2016]

Glad that the thread is working again!
Curious about your recent poems.

Smell roses? Which roses? There aren't any roses in this stone wilderness unless one buys them at the florist. Unless you mean that metaforically.

Enjoy resting in the garden?

[tailor STATELY]

I think my difficulties may have arisen due to too many smileys/emoticons... after editing a number out from my saved post (saved to the clipboard) it seemed to settle the post's mood.

I have only a few poems that I haven't posted... the most recent mulling like spiced wine.

Metaphor...

Aye... though the garden is becoming more and more a metaphor.

Enjoy resting near fountains/pools in your "stone wilderness" ?

[Danik 2016]

Yeah, the LitNet page accepts only its own emogis.

Nay. If they are inside the city they usually stink, because of people pissing near them.

Occasional town visits?

Aye

Ever regift a present ?
REGIFT | definition in the Cambridge English Dictionary

[Danik 2016]

Nay, very, very rarely if the present fits the receiver.
Bestowing self made presents ?

[tailor STATELY]

Aye... I've framed individual poems and given as gifts to my elder Grandson (Rock and Roll subject poems), hand crafted poetry books to my Daughter and 3-Grandchildren a number of Christmas' ago, hand made birthday cards with my poetry included... made a few odds and ends in woodshop in high school gifted to my Mother... and maybe a few others I don't recall just now.

Same question ?

[Danik 2016]

:)

When I was a child I used to make birthday and Christmas presents for my parents. Ì remember making the Christmas crib figures out of garden earth. After some time they all lost their heads because garden earth isn't the same as clay, but I didn't know the difference.

Writing letters to distant friends / relatives?

[tailor STATELY]
