Many of my former SOs are friends. I introduce them because they’re part of my life. Former SO was a musician at my wedding. Have you ever eaten sea urchin? ---

No, I can’t say I have. Octopus, squid and shark, but never sea urchin. Have you ever toured the White House? ---

Yes! I went in 2006. It’s free and well worth the effort of contacting one’s Member of Congress. The self-guided tour is OK especially if you get to talk with a knowledgeable Secret Service member or other staffer assigned to the rooms. Hubby did a guided tour in 1990 and said it was better back then. > **[The White House Tour - President's Park (White House) (U.S. National Park...](https://www.nps.gov/whho/planyourvisit/the-white-house-tour.htm)** Apart from the beach or somebody’s backyard, have you ever walked barefoot outdoors? ---

Often. The cool grass on my feet (at home or at the park) feels refreshing in the summer. Not so much now, though. Have you ever fired an automatic weapon? ---

Yes, I didn’t like to, but Mr.Wrekker insisted I learn. I am obligated to know how to shoot all his weapons (bows included). I am very anti-gun and a peace-nik. It’s one of my ‘between a rock and a hard place’ challenges. I cope, oh, boy how I cope! Have you ever sang a solo? ---

Yes, if karaoke counts. I’ve certainly sung in small choirs and SATB quartets, and played solos on various instruments in bands I’ve been a part of. Have you ever been inside a courtroom? ---

Sure. Headed there in 30 minutes. Have you ever purchased a paperback book with the cover torn off? ---

Yes, and magazines too. There was a weird book joint I frequently visited that sold a bunch of books like that. Never knew why. Have you inherited land or money? ---

(concerning stripped books check this out [Stripped book - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripped_book)) Never inherited land or money. Just a car. Have you ever played a team sport in high school or college? ---

I picked up a dead snake my husband killed in the vegetable garden. He said it was a baby rattlesnake, no live ones. Have you ever been bitten by a wild animal. (not mosquitos)? ---

I was bitten by a garter snake ( intentionally). It was loose in our garage and I had to catch it, or my gf would have never been happy. I reached under a workbench, let it grab my hand, and caught it with my other hand. It hurt. Have you ever hitchhiked? ---

Never, and do not intend to start now. Have you ever seen _The Big Lebowski_? ---

In Jamaica a guy thought I was an American action-movie star. Our conversation eventually evolved into how race affected ability to identify individuals. We were both high af and ended up hanging out the rest of the day. Have you ever drunk a martini? ---
