Game - Answer the last question and ask the next

[golondrina]

I don't have an exterior garden but I have some 60 plants in my "interior garden" as I'm lucky to have very big windows facing East and West

Sorry I was too slow. Primula's reply got there before mine. I'm answering her question:

I admire Angela Merkel

Do you like orchids?

 

[Primula]

I love all flowers.

Do you get along well with your family?

 

[Winchester]

Yeah, pretty much. I have a younger sister and brother. Our parents have passed. My brother and I aren't getting along all that great right now, but I still love the brat and I know that he loves me. 

  We get along well with our son, DIL, and the grands. Part of that is because we know when to keep quiet, unless he specifically asks for my two cents. Often, when he's really having trouble dealing with something, he'll call me and ask for advice and we'll talk. But I always try to never give unsolicited advice.....it usually doesn't end well.

Do you consider yourself to be in good health?

 

[margd]

I feel better now than I did for years but I'm not physically fit at all, so am not sure what dangers are lurking.  

   I should go to the doctor.  

I've been trying to get the scanner function of my printer to work.  Do you have a scanner at home?

 

[Norachan]

No, the convenience stores in Japan all have really high tech printers and scanners so I do all my printing there.

Do you read your horoscope regularly?

 

[margd]

No. I'm too big a skeptic.  

Have you ever ridden on a Segway?  

 

[Norachan]

No, but I've had a lot of fun watching videos of people fall off them on You Tube.

When do you start back to work after the holidays?

 

[margd]

Um, I'm not.  I'm retired.   If I were still working, however, it would have been today.  

Did you gain weight over the holidays?  (I sure did.)  

 

[lonelocust]

My scale has been out of battery for a while because I keep forgetting to get more, so I'm not sure. I think I did, but only a tiny bit.

Have you had to put a cat on a diet for their health?

 

[Norachan]

Yes. One of my cats, Little Boy got up to 8.5 kilos last year. I got him down to 7.9 in October, but I think he's put a bit back on recently. Have to start walking him again.

When was the last time you went to the dentist?

 

[Boris Diamond]

November.

Have you ever been to an acupuncturist?  (I see one in 12 hours.)

 

[Norachan]

No. I'd love to go to one though. I've heard great things about them.

Have you ever been involved in a traffic accident?

 

[lonelocust]

Yeah I rear ended someone once when I didn't manage to stop quickly enough at a sudden traffic jam. It dented their bumper and broke my front light. Sorry other driver! (My insurance paid for it.)

Have you ever broken a bone?

 

[Winchester]

Yes, my little toe on my left foot, many, many moons ago. Hurt like the dickens, too. Came very close to breaking it again a few weeks ago. Same toe. 

Do you believe in astrology?

 

[doomsdave]

I don't believe in astrology, but I have broken a bone, my arm, when I was six. Ancient times.

Ever shoot fish with a bow and arrow?

 

[Kat0121]

No. People do that?

Ever been to a psychic?

 

[doomsdave]

Never been to a psychic, but I shot a carp with a bow and arrow. (Once. Quite enough, actually.)

Ever seen a flamenco dance?

 

[moorspede]

Yes! 

How many pairs of shoes do you have?

 

[doomsdave]

More than a healhy male should.

Ever seen the Filipino "ting-kling" dance?

 

[nickycat]

No.
