Do you know of anybody who was maybe from your hometown? Since I’m not into sports that much, I haven’t met a Pro athlete. Nobody from our small town ever has been drafted to play either. If you could pick someone to meet, who would you choose? It took me some thinking but I think I would choose someone like Mary Lou Retton. I know she’s older, but she is still an athlete. I pick her because I was a kid when she was in The Olympics doing her gymnastic routine. For a kid, it was quite exciting & I remember my friends & I trying to do cartwheels, handstands, etc.

I'm an introvert so would prefer to work alone. Even with my husband, we tend to be off on our own. Having the other's help if we need it. We do however work well together, just when you work by yourself, you can go at your own pace without peer pressure or anything inhibiting you.

We don't do gifts for birthdays, holidays, but to answer, I'd say Cash. Unless it’s a well-thought out handmade gift. It never made sense to me. I buy you something for your birthday, you buy me something. Let's just keep the money & buy what we REALLY wanted! & focus on the time with each other instead.

I too tried to learn how to spin the basketball on my finger & hummed (not whistled as much lol) the theme song.
I remember them being on Scooby Doo as well! I forgot all about that! Just memories 🙂

While I’m not huge into gaming, I love this concept! Toxicity can ruin even the most joyous activity. I feel that the more sites like this that are promoted, the more gamers will come out of the woodwork. I’ve talked to several people before. They just want to have a good time, playing a game, chatting with like-minded individuals. Some minor bantering, competition is healthy, however, sites that encourage bashing & badmouthing also encourage people to up & quit. There are numerous reasons why people play a game. One is to just escape reality, similar to vegging in front of the TV watching a movie. It relaxes them, gives them some social time, even boosts their morale when they were able to make it to the next level.
I’d love to help spread the word about this site. Life is too short.

While I haven’t bowled in a very long time, I do like it. However, I am not good at it lol I think back to when we had to take it in P.E. class & was graded. I always thought that was unfair. Not all of us are good at sports. Plus we had to learn how to keep score. I had my brother-in-law at the time help explain it better as our teacher pretty much just put us in there & expected us to ‘just know’.

I pick being colorblind. I love to read as well as write & cannot imagine not having that ability anymore. I love learning & studying & I learn best when I can see the written words versus hearing it.

Detect every lie I hear. Just be nice to know who would be hiding the truth. People can lie so easily. That’s evident from how actors can act & you can get caught up in the proverbial lie.

I write a lot too. As it is, I've finished two full length novels, several short stories, and a hell of a lot of unconventional poetry.

I binged watched this show back when they were on Season 12. I started from the beginning. I stopped watching for now because the COVID-related was a bit too close to reality for me. I will probably pick it back up in a couple of years.

I remember watching the movie Tracers. I would never do it myself but I'm amazed by how fit those actors were!

So true - for some reason, I never eat breakfast before 11am and the only reason I'll eat lunch a few hours later is due to the fact that I'm a glutton and will tend to eat even when I'm not hungry. It's good thing I have an extremely high metabolic rate to burn it all off.

Funny enough - I forgot about that. It annoys me though and it just sounds robotic. I'd much rather something that sounded more organic.
You'd be nominated for the Nobel prize among other things.
There's nothing wrong with that.

It's odd - I had lots of allergies as a kid but hay was one of the few things that never triggered it.
I'd pick the grass by default lol.

I've had both myself as a kid. We'd nibble on grass & make mud pies. To answer this question, I will say chew grass now. It is easier & more palatable than eating mud.

I'm fine with both as I drink both on a daily basis. However, I do like my herbal tea so I would pick that for this question. I prefer red raspberry or rooibos as a close second. I love drinking carrot, orange, tomato juice. I blend bananas & other ingredients like berries to make a smoothie juice.

It's actually a very big knowledge that Shagger shared with the lot of us. I found it very useful personally and so with other people I passed it on it. I practically learnt about defragmentation by him. 

Dolphins and elephants are some of the most intelligent animals you'll ever encounter. Dolphins and Killer Whales have a societal structure similar to humans and they also have the capacity to feel empathy.

It's something like this:
 

That video is blocked here, but I found one, and I'm already into it. It's second only to BattleBots for me.

Honestly, I've always wanted to try surfing but we just don't have big enough waves for that. I love watersports so I wouldn't mind learning to surf at all.

I've seen them all and I think the first 2 seasons of Kobra Kai.  I loved the first two movies, the remake and Kobra Kai.  Karate Kid 3 and The Next Karate Kid with Hillary Swank (yep, ya'll completely that exists didn't you) were just uncreative re-hashes of the original.
 
 
I think you should give Kobra Kai another chance, it's more than just a sequel or a reboot.  It's actually a very clever and well written spin on the idea.  The original movies presented Kobra Kai/Johhny as the villains and Miyagi Dojo/Daniel as the heros in a typical black and white kind of way.  This series allows both sides to have flaws and credibility, it throws back to the original but it's given a thoroughly modern presentation.  Even though Johnny often still be a dick you do sympathize with him and Daniel, although still the morally wholesome character he always was can also be a passive aggressive asshole.  I would very strongly recommended to any fan of original movies.

I love all animals but marine mammals get my vote so I pick dolphin. They are highly intelligent, most definitely. They can have emotions that are similar to humans.
A kangaroo, I'd be scared of their kick or their 'boxing' technique.

That's quite good! Reminds me a bit of Celtic music. I admire her for singing in the gravelly voice for so long. I can imagine the sore throat she had & all the practice to make it sound so realistic.

When I do play, which isn't as often anymore, I do sit still for the most part but I am also one of those 'leaners' lol It's like we are willing it to go faster when we use our whole body! I tend to be a leaner for TV shows as well.
