Yes. My ex-wife used to make a great meal of Singapore noodles, and she left her recipe behind. She made it look so easy; how hard could it be? I found out, and created an inedible mess. Have you ever driven more than 600 miles in a single day? ---

Yes, I used to work construction, and finishing up one job and getting to the next in 1 day, I have driven over 900 miles in a day, Up before sunrise, and getting to next location around 10 PM. Have you ever stolen anything, valued at greater than $10.00 ? ---

Close, but no. The longest I’ve ever driven in a single day was from my eastern Ohio hometown to my girlfriend’s house in southeastern Vermont. Google Maps tells me it’s 570 miles door-to-door. That was the most exhausting day of driving in my entire life. Never again! ETA: No, I did some petty shoplifting in my early teens that I’m not proud of, but never anything worth more than $10. HYE been to Vermont in the past five years? ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > HYE been to Vermont in the past five years? Close but not quite. I’ve been to every other New England state in the past 5 years as well as upstate NY and Quebec, and looking at the map I’ve been 10-15 miles from Vermont, but it’s 11 years since I was actually in the state. I’d love to see it again, especially the Lake Champlain area. HYE played hockey, field or ice? ---

Yes, I was on the varsity field hockey team in high school. Have you ever played goalie in any sport? ---

Yes, sort of. I tried playing goaltender on our middle-school intramural soccer team, but didn’t last long in that position. Have you ever scored for your team in organized school varsity sports? ---

I played high school football, but being a lineman, I didn’t get much of an opportunity to score points. Have you ever received credit or accolades for something you didn’t do? ---

Probably. But I can’t recall any specific event where that occurred. HYE held a stock certificate in your hands? ---

Yes, but it was from a county that had been out of business for decades. Have You Ever wolf-whistled at a girl or girls? ---

Yes, but it was done entirely in jest. And the recipient understood that too. HYE used a CB radio? ---

Yeah; we used to have one in the car when I was a kid, and so did my grandparents. I distinctly remember calling them on the CB radio to say our last goodbye (for awhile) after we went separate ways from a restaurant. This was before the proliferation of cellular phones, of course. ARGH, I’m frustrated that my grandparents didn’t live to see the dawn of unlimited talk and text plans. Have you ever seen a wildfire in person? ---

Yes. Us Cub Scouts were asked to help. It wasn’t very wild where we were. Have you ever used a smudge stick for cleansing? ---

I have not, but I have been at a smudge ceremony. An interesting look at another culture’s traditions. Have you ever performed in community theatre? ---

I haven’t, but close–I’ve performed in a community chorale and in high school theater. Have you flown in anything other than a commercial aircraft? ---

I’ve flown in an old coworker’s Cessna. That was some scary shit (he’s green/yellow colorblind and not generally the kind of guy I’d trust with my life) Have you ever owned a non-traditional pet? ---

Not me, myself, but Madame P. has had a baby alligator and a couple of fancy rats. My next door neighbor has a ferret. I just have a cockatiel. Have You Ever sung a solo with live orchestral accompaniment? ---

Yes. I participate with a local community theatre group that does musicals. I’ve sung solos, backed by the live musicians in the pit. Have you ever been on a workplace team (bowling team, softball team, etc.)? ---

No, but I _have_ gone bowling with coworkers at least once as a team-building exercise. We also took time out of a day to have a picnic and play some kickball with several other stores in the region. Fun times! Have you ever had a near-death experience? ---

I almost died once but as to the classic ‘experience’ where one reportedly sees their life flash before their eyes in an instant…that didn’t happen. HYE gotten sick while driving a vehicle? ---

No, but my dad did while I was sitting next to him. I could smell the vomit coming off his breath, and when I smelled it, I too almost got sick. Have you ever lived in a recreational vehicle?
