Yes. Quite a number of times here in Ottawa, from Ontario to Quebec. And in the winter it becomes an ice bridge.
Have you ever fallen in love with someone over the internet?
Not love, no, but I’ve had some crushes now and then (including here).
Have you ever kissed someone and then realized they didn’t want to be kissed?
Well, I learned not to give my ex-wife a kiss while we washed the dishes. I ended up with a face covered in soapsuds!
Have you ever managed to get your car stuck in the mud or snow?
Yes. I don’t want to talk about it
Have you ever had a big party that got out of control?.
Yes, kind of. I had a tiny studio apartment and didn’t plan to have a big party, was expecting just 12 people or so. But friends brought friends and we ended up with over 25 people, some of them were smoking and drinking in the hallway, and the neighbors complained.
Have you ever broken a bone (your own or somebody else’s)?
No to both, but I have friends who’ve had various breakages.
Have you ever seen an Olympic sporting competition in person?
Yes (another surprise, here) I saw ski jump trials in 198?. Very fun day.
Do you take any meds that are seriously vital to you living? Like if ran out you just have a couple of days before sicken and die.
No, I have some for my blood pressure, but I can go a week or so without them without ill effect.
Have you ever started a thread in the Pit?
I have started a few Pit threads, but never one calling out another poster.
Have you ever been so totally lost that you were not sure you could find your way back to where you had been?
Yeah I guess as a kid
Have you ever been to Texas?
Yes, I went there for training sessions put on by our company maybe twenty years ago. Sadly, I got to see very little outside of the DFW area.
Have you ever been to New York City?
No, I go there in my dreams. If I ever do I will see ‘Cats’!
I named a dog Pierre one time, It turned into Pee-pee. Have you ever given a pet an unfortunate name?
I named my son Pierre. He didn’t like it as a child, but now likes it as an adult.
Did you ever see a cake walk?
Yes. It was put on by our high school student council, but did not turn out as hoped.
Have you ever driven 4+ hours on an Interstate? (Or comparable European/Canadian/Australian road?)
I once drove nonstop (except to refill gas) from Miami, FL to Chicago.
Have you ever owned an article of clothing that was the color fuschia?
Yes, my girlfriend once gave me a pair of fuschia socks as a joke. I even wore them a few times.
Have you ever watched the same movie twice in a row with no more than five minutes between viewings?
Yes. I still like DVDs, and will often rewatch a movie on DVD if I liked it the first time through.
Have you ever attended a class reunion? (High school, college, or university.)
Yes, my 25th. Everyone tried to sell me insurance and hit on my wife.
Have you ever been caught in a rain whee you got so soaked, you couldn’t possibly have been any wetter, even if you fell in a lake.
Yes, once or twice. When the rain isn’t so cold, and I know I have dry clothes waiting for me, it’s kinda nice.
Have you ever flirted with a coworker, even though you knew you shouldn’t?
Yes. It was against company policy, and we knew we shouldn’t, but it was harmless. When I left the company for a better job at another company, the romance bloomed, and we were an item for some years. Even thought about marriage, before we both realized that it would never work.
Have you ever been to a pro sports game? (NFL, NHL, NBA, CFL, MLS, or MLB, though other professional leagues elsewhere are fine too.)
