Have you ever...

[PalacePaul]

That sounds crazy

Have you ever gambled in a big casino?

 

[josephus]

Yes.

Ever floated in the Dead Sea?

 

[frankifab]

Nope

Have you ever saved someone who was drowning in the ocean ?

 

[Araucaria]

No, I've never seen someone who was drowning in the ocean, and if I did, I wouldn't know what to do.

Have you ever gone out and found you were dressed inappropriately for the weather, e.g., it was too hot or too cold for what you were wearing?

 

[unloadonme]

Regularly.

Have you ever had to return home because the weather was too bad?

 

[PalacePaul]

Yes

Have you ever felt you were inappropriately dressed in public?

 

[frankifab]

When I was a teen , I felt kind of " inappropriate " not only because of my clothes , also because of my hair and my physical appearance ... I felt inappropriately dressed because of the ignorant people staring at me

I still look unusual when going out but now I don't care if people think it's appropiate or not ...


Have you ever " repaired " a piece of clothing all by yourself ?

 

[PalacePaul]

Little things like a patch or a border, yes. I wish I could to more advanced stuff.

Have you ever knitted anything? (yes, a lot)

 

[Araucaria]

No, I can't say that I've knitted anything.

Have you ever put out an odd or crazy idea, not because you believed it or agreed with it, but to see how other people would react to it?

 

[frankifab]

yes , a few times , but usually people get shocked or angry ... maybe that's why I prefer being lonely , regular people are so predictable with their beliefs and reactions


Have you ever visited a lover in jail ?

 

[Araucaria]

I've never had a lover in jail, thank God.

Have you ever had an elderly relative go on about religion, and you were too nice to tell them it was a crock, or you didn't care to hear it?

 

[PalacePaul]

No

Have you ever dated someone of a different religion?

 

[Araucaria]

Yes. The guy I was dating last summer is Jewish, and I suspect that one guy I dated a long time ago was probably Jewish. Otherwise, in the United States you often meet guys, and religion usually doesn't come up with one night stands and casual relationships. Mostly you can assume that the guy is of some Protestant denomination or perhaps Catholic, or at least has left his religion of origin.

Have you ever had a conflict with a lover or someone you were dating over a religious matter?

 

[frankifab]

I think I would not date or get into a relationship with somebody who is strongly attached to a religion unless he doesn't try to impose his beliefs and respects my way of seeing life ... ok answering the question ... it hasn't simply happened to me


Have you ever been asked by a nutty girl to act as her boyfriend at a reunion despite she was aware of your sexuality ? ( I have ... never again ! )

 

[Araucaria]

No, fortunately.

Have you ever attended a political rally or protest?

 

[frankifab]

As a teen out of boredom just twice .
Now I wouldn't ... such a waste of time

Have you ever witnessed a violent street robbery ?

 

[Araucaria]

Yes. I once heard a woman scream outside a post office. Apparently she had been mugged by two assailants attempting to steal from her. Her face had been scratched, but she said she held onto her money. She told us it was over $400. Often people will get payments and cash in notes or whatever at the post office, which is what she had done. The muggers ran, and the next thing I know, my lover, now ex, ran after them. I didn't know he had it in him. Actually, I ran after him, because I was worried for my lover. It seems the muggers jumped into a getaway car on the next block, and drove away. A couple of guys at a bar at that location said they got a partial license plate number, which of course is useless.

Have you ever known someone who committed suicide?

 

[unloadonme]

Unfortunately, yes.

Have you ever considered taking your own life?

 

[Araucaria]

It has crossed my mind, though I haven't seriously considered it in a long time. When I was younger, I did a lot of what the mental health people call suicidal ideation, I guess I was imagining what it would be like to go through with it if things got really bad.

Have you ever been robbed by someone attacking you or threatening you with a weapon or bodily harm?

 

[unloadonme]

Mercifully not.

Have you ever lost money to an online con?
