Do you take long walks daily ?

 

[PalacePaul]

Yes, either for pleasure or for daily activities.

Do you have one food that you eat every day? What is it?

 

[unloadonme]

I probably eat bread in one form or another almost every day. Can't think of anything else.

Do you eat stuff that you know I'd bad for you?

 

[frankifab]

No , I quit eating stuff and doing stuff that was harmful for me years ago . Once in a while I drink a little but that's not the same as eating


What are your top three alcoholic beverages ?

 

[unloadonme]

Beer, gin and cocktails.

I haven't been in a bar in years.

Sometimes. I wear hats to protect me from the sun. I have a fedora that I call my California hat, because I bought it when I went out there some years ago.

Do you usually prepare your own meals, or somebody prepare them for you like a husband or spouse, or do you tend to eat out at restaurants?

[frankifab]

At one I was known ... I even remember their names as well ... Ivan a Libra Guy and Elena a Scorpio Lady


I haven't been there in several months


Are you verbally agile ?

 

[Araucaria]

I presume you mean conversationally adept and coming up with the right words in any situation. I'm good at conversation when I'm in a relaxed mood. But I usually can't think of what to say if I feel I'm in a situation where I can be judged, or what I say is especially important.

Do you have a daily routine, e.g., getting up, eating meals, and going to bed at the same time, or do you tend to do things differently, depending on what you feel like doing, or what is going on?

 

[unloadonme]

Depends. On work days, I'm forced into a routine. On non-work days I take things as they come.

Are you a good sleeper?

 

[frankifab]

No but I've got my methods

How many hours do you sleep a day on average ?

 

[Araucaria]

I probably sleep about 7 hours a day total, but my sleep schedule is so erratic it's hard to be sure. These days I'm only sleeping about 4 hours a night, and maybe I'll go back to bed about 7 o'clock for another couple of hours. I usually take a nap just after lunch for another hour or two, and I might get an hour in the late afternoon if I haven't gotten enough sleep previously.

Do you take any sleep aids to help you fall asleep?

 

[Franco Verum]

The best sleep I ever had was when I was taking Ativan. Then my doctor changed it to Rozerem that made me feel like I was roofied in the morning. I told him I wanted to go back to Ativan and he refused to do it. He went back to Korea a month later. I KNOW it has on a file someplace that I'm an Ativan junkie and not to give it to me.
The take-away from all this? Ativan is delicious, Koreans despise me.

What's your most precious heirloom?
