Not really, but there have been some family arguments, and disputes at work, where I might’ve weighed in with my opinion but instead kept my mouth shut so as to help restore peace.
HYE been called upon to adjudicate a dispute, and the parties accepted your decision?
A couple I know stopped to pick up a six-pack on their way home to sit down and work out their divorce. I was drunk/high, sitting at the bar, and they sat down to talk with me. I don’t remember a word I said, but they credit me with saving their marriage.
HYE rented equipment?
Not personally, but when I worked for a landscaping company, my company did fairly often.
HYE changed religions?
NM
A reposting of the OP:
Might I humbly request that people with “Yes” or “Sort Of Yes” type answers be given a chance to respond? Yes answers may give us interesting stories that I(for one) read these threads to see.
No, I was born and raised an Episcopalian, and - like George Washington, Franklin Roosevelt, Duke Ellington and Humphrey Bogart - have always been happy to remain one: Episcopal Church (United States) - Wikipedia
HYE had a glass of sherry with an Episcopalian?
No.
HYE bought a homeless person a drink?
I agree. Yes or sort of Yes answers make a better story.
Yes but only because this person happened to be my cousin.
HYE seen the northern lights?
Only in pictures - I’d love to see the real thing someday.
HYE seen a bald eagle in flight?
Yes. I’ve been on a float on a lake where they do some nesting. Happened to catch it on a good year. They are magnificent.
HYE drank water you weren’t very sure of?
Yes. I had no idea what might have happened upstream, but I was on a hiking trail in the Canadian Rockies, and was thirsty, and had gone through all the water I had brought with me. I was also pretty sure the the mountain stream by the trail was safe to drink from. I had a drink from the stream, and nothing untoward happened. The water tasted pretty good, actually.
Have you ever flown across an ocean?
Yes, from Southern California to Guam back when I was in the U.S.A.F.
HYE picked out a live creature that was later served to you for dinner?
Yep, Caribbean lobsters (no claws). They give you a glove and you reach into the cage and grab the one you want. I like them sliced in half and grilled.
HYE paddled an ocean (sit on top) kayak?
Yes, I own one. It’s not used very often, but when I have someone else with me at the beach I sometimes paddle it past the breakers to fish, and a few times used it to drop off large baits and return to the beach and wait for a shark to bite. But I’m never really comfortable with it and prefer fishing smooth bay waters with my sit-in 'yak.
*HYE fed a live fish to a heron?
*I know you’re not supposed to but they are such persistent beggars that people do give in.
Yes, on the car deck of the Bremerton-to-Seattle ferry many years ago.
HYE had a particularly striking hallucination?
Oh, yes. Last time I was in the hospital, I hallucinated that I saw several professional wrestlers, including The Shield and Zack Ryder. (They didn’t frighten me, though-- I felt they were there, protecting me.)
Have you ever done any online roleplaying?
With the understanding that “online roleplaying” includes a wide variety of subjects and goals,…the answer is yes. I’ll say no more regarding that.
HYE built and painted a plastic model kit of some kind?
Yes, way back when I was a kid, I built an aircraft carrier. I think it was given to me as a gift.
HYE kissed a relative on the lips?
I can’t recall any such instance
HYE chosen clothing style clearly over comfort?
