No, because I’ve never gone swimming in anything but a pool or a lake. (I did almost drown in a pool once, though.)
Have you ever seen surveyors at work?
Yes, several times when I worked in real estate.
Have you ever seen a real puppet show in person?
Yes, several times with my young sons.
HYE listened to Strauss’s *Also sprach Zarathustra *all the way through?: Richard Strauss - Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 - YouTube
Nope. and after listening to a few minutes more than I had previously been exposed to I’m convinced, the salient and precious portions of the composition are captured nicely in the truncated 2001 Space Odyssey arrangement
HYE owned and worn a beret?
nm
Yes, a red one, 'way back in my Boy Scout days, like this: https://img1.etsystatic.com/022/1/6721925/il_fullxfull.497032283_q19l.jpg
HYE insulted a Boy Scout?
Yes, but not to his face. I know that when my son was in Boy Scouts I did my share of complaining about his patrol leaders and the other boy scouts as “that annoying kid”, “that blabbermouth” and so on.
Have you ever stayed up until the wee hours with a book that you couldn’t put down?
Lots of times. Damn you, Stephen King!
Have you ever thrown a book across the room?
I have not.
HYE slammed down an old style telephone handset on someone?
More than once, when I was younger and more hot-headed (and when I had such a phone 
). On one occasion, I slammed it down so hard that I knocked the cover off of the earpiece.
HYE called a 1-900 chat line?
Once, but it was by accident. I was trying to call a 1-800 number, and dialed 900 instead of 800. Hung up as soon as I realized my error.
Have you ever laughed at a funeral?
Yes, but not so much as to be audible to others
Have you ever made your own popsicles and been entirely satisfied with the results?
Yes, 40 years ago, with a recipe that called for fresh squeezed OJ and an egg. I’d be afraid to make it these days.
HYE evacuated for a hurricane, typhoon or other natural disaster?
Almost. We had a wildfire bearing down on us, and the air was full of smoke. We were being warned that we might have to evacuate. I had my cats’ carriers ready, a bag with cat food, food and water bowls, water, and cat litter and a litter pan. I also had my own gear ready–stuff I’d need, a battery-powered transistor radio, plus a few personal things I didn’t want to lose. The car had enough gas to get me two hours eastbound (the fire was coming from the west), where I would hopefully find a pet-friendly motel. An evacuation didn’t happen, as the fire was successfully fought before it got here, but it came within ten miles or so. A scary time.
Have you ever bet on anything other than horse races or casino games?
No, but I have selected a winning lottery scratch-off card once. It was for $100. I didn’t even buy it, actually; it was given as a prize for winning first-place in a sales contest at work. (Everyone got a scratch-off ticket, but I got the first choice, and was lucky).
Have you ever sung Karaoke?
Yes, many times. Heck, I hosted a weekly karaoke night at a local pub, back in the 1990s.
Have you ever celebrated a birthday in a foreign city?
Yes, at least 11 of them while living overseas
HYE thought about a friend or acquaintance and then unexpectedly run into them/hear someone mention them/they contact you?
Not other than close family who it was no surprise that I thought of them and no surprise that they soon contacted me.
Have you ever been the newbie who didn’t know how to play the game everyone else had organized, but you played for the first time and won?
Not me, but let me explain.
Years ago, my local pub organized a night at the horse races. One of us was very excited–she had never been to a horse race, and had no idea what to do. But she wanted to try.
The program, with past performances and mutuel selections and graded handicaps, mystified her. Oh, she couldn’t understand the odds and selections and past performances, but she twigged on the horses’ names, and bet them. Or the jockey’s silks (“He’ll be wearing a red jersey with a dollar sign on the back? That’s gotta be lucky!”). Or something similarly silly: “Oh, that horse looks like he’s wearing socks!”
And she was winning, race after race! Meanwhile, I (who have been selecting horses and handicapping races for years) lost almost all of my wagers. So did the rest of us who knew how to play the horses. She went home with plenty of cash. I went home with enough left over for bus fare. Oh, well.
Have you ever been on the roof of your house?
Sure, lots of times - it has a very low slope. I get up there maybe 3-4 times per year to clean the rain gutters with my leaf blower.
HYE left water running too long anywhere to the point it caused damage or a major clean-up effort?
