Get to know each other...
How this works:

1. Answer the latest post's question with a yes or no.
2. Ask a new 'yes or no' question for the next person.

Include details in your answers if need be.
Repeat questions are ok but try not to over-do it.
Try to keep your questions simple to prevent extra clarification.


Let's start...

Have you ever broken a bone?

Yes (by general standards. By American standards, no - I've got that bland Midwestern English thing going on).

Are you a morning person?

(I had to work really hard to prevent any distinct accent in my speech while growing up, and I'm quite proud that I sound normal.)

No. I still beat her at many things.

(If you're referring to battery, I never started, so I guess no would apply to that as well.)

If I asked you to answer "no" to this question, would you?

Yes. I believe from everything we do in life, we gain something, even if it's minor.

Have you ever done something nice anonymously?

Yes, just the other week I gave a drunk guy a lift home having found him sleeping on the pavement.

What do you call the strip of grass between the pavement and the road?

ETA: Oops, too slow - disregard my question.

I call it the parkway.

Have you ever pretended you weren't home when someone came to your door, even if you knew the person knew you were there?
