I once found a wide-brimmed hat (sort of like a cowboy hat) that was inexpensive and looked great at the same time. So what if it didn’t fit exactly right and was a little tight? I found out a few hours later, when it was giving me a headache. My everyday hat now is a very comfortable (and expensive) Stetson that fits perfectly, and looks better than the other one. Have you ever watched back-to-back New Year’s bowl games? ---

Yes, yes I have. Ugh. I don’t like sports on TV. But occasionally Mr.Wrekker is home NewYears day and has watched non-stop football. Me being nosy and talkative about it kinda pisses him off. I have my little ways of getting my wants and needs respected;). Last few years he leaves early Jan.1st to go on his yearly hog-hunt to Texas. HYE seen a feral hog? ---

No, but I’m 48.2% certain I saw a black bear rummaging through someone’s campsite at Palisades State Park in SD. HYE vomited in public view? ---

Yes, at my job. One minute I was fine, the next…I think it was food poisoning, because I was fine afterwards, but they made me go home. HYE peed your pants in public? ---

Maybe? My water broke, in my last pregnancy, in the Grocery store. Standing there looking at the cereal and whoosh, there it was. An ambulance ride and 20 minutes and i had a babe in arms. Easiest delivery ever. She just sorta fell out. HYE been present at a live birth. ---

Two. My son and daughter. “The miracle of birth” indeed. HYE witnessed a live birth in a nontraditional location? ---

Yes. If you count animals. I was also my daughters labor coach and was in with her at the birth of her first son. Very non-traditional. And stressful. I told her husband he had to do her second child. He did. And had a vasectomy the next week. HYE went to a zoo just to see a publicized new baby? ---

It wasn’t planned but by pure coincidence we went through the Omaha zoo the day that they were debuting their new giraffe “foal”. (what’s the proper term for a newborn giraffe?) HYE fed some snack to a zoo animal even though the zoo operators specifically don’t want you to do that? ---

> [@Alpha\_Twit](#): > > HYE fed some snack to a zoo animal even though the zoo operators specifically don’t want you to do that? Yes, but not intentionally-Was in the petting zoo section and a llama stole a peanut butter sandwich from my bag. HYE straddled both sides of a state or country line? ---

Yes, as a kid on a family vacation. Somewhere there’s a photo of me with one foot in Indiana and the other in Ohio. Have You Ever won more than $50 on a lottery ticket? ---

Yes, I won $50 on a doubler ticket once. I’ve won lots of $10-$20 on scratch-offs. I think I’ve ruined my mojo for winning something big by winning many little things. ☹ HYE won a pool bet? ---

Yes, surprisingly, since I don’t follow sports generally, and it was some sort of world soccer thing which even sporty Americans tend to be less interested in. But I made up my own algorithm based on googled statistics and ended up winning a tidy little summary just in time for vacation. Have you ever watched an entire season of TV in one sitting? ---

Yes. I just watched the Dr. Who Christmas takeover. Several seasons in a row. I got a bit bleary eyed with it. I have also watched TWD several seasons in a row. I’m kind of a glutton for punishment. I guess. HYE watched a movie franchise from 1 to ??. Like Rocky or The Godfather? All at once. ---

I saw all four _Indiana Jones_ movies in a marathon showing at a downtown theater. HYE walked out of a theater without finishing watching the dreadful movie they’re showing. ---

Yes, _The Man With Bogart’s Face_. He looked like Bogie, but his hat was a better actor than he was. Have You Ever consumed an entire can of Pringle’s in one sitting? ---

True, during my days of binge eating. Not so much now, cause I buy the little cans. HYE drained an entire pot of coffee in one sitting? ---

Not within the last year or two, but I have donated blood before. (And good on you, **gkster** , for donating!) Have you ever been a pallbearer at a funeral?
