Hard to answer because I try to limit myself for these things. Mocha almond fudge ice cream. Indian food.2. What is your guilty pleasure?
A man who was bold enough to tell me he wanted to see what I had that he could take and acting like it was okay to do so, until I told him he wouldn't be safe if he did so and having him back out of the yard with his arms in the air.3.

2. What is your guilty pleasure? I’m pretty open about what I like, but maybe Hanson’s mmmmmbop, I like that catchy song
3. What is the most amazing/surprising thing that showed up in your yard? No surprises, unless you count a census girl in a hijab…out of place for sure
4. What are the coldest and hottest outdoor air temperatures you've ever experienced. For this question, wind chill temp or heat index temps DO NOT count, only actual outdoor air temps.

5. What do you feel your greatest accomplishment has been? (Wonderful children to not count for this question.) some of the songs I’ve written are doing well
In my experience, when I had my turn, I PM'ed a few people to ask if they would be willing to do this. I received several no's. And then there was the week that without my knowledge I was "appointed" to have a second turn, in spite of just having had one just a couple weeks before.We are going to need a volunteer , who wants a turn??
I'll jump in, but how long can this thread go?????In my experience, when I had my turn, I PM'ed a few people to ask if they would be willing to do this. I received several no's.

IMHO, it is important to be respectful and let someone choose to have a turn.
And what would happen if we had no volunteers?
I have never asked the questions but Fridays are usually bad for me ( baking) so I would have to ask them some other day or really late on Friday plus I can't think of anything that hasn't already be askedIn my experience, when I had my turn, I PM'ed a few people to ask if they would be willing to do this.

Or ask a day early. You could have your questions together today or tomorrow, and just post a little early, or a little late.I have never asked the questions but Fridays are usually bad for me ( baking) so I would have to ask them some other day or really late on Friday plus I can't think of anything that hasn't already be asked
Exactly. People will eventually need to have more turns, but there are many people who have yet to have a turn. I know from my experience in trying to find someone to have a turn, that some people are not interested, and some that consider the demands of their lives to be more important or demanding than writing some questions. Who am I to decide or judge them?I'll jump in, but how long can this thread go?????
Willingly? A pint. I haven't gone back since I was in high school and I feel a bit bad about that. I object to medical needles in my body. Random shards of metal or wood, no problem.Sorry, I slept in a bit late today. I gave blood yesterday and a bit more rest felt so good on this cool, rainy Minnesota morning. Forgive me if any of my questions are repeats. We took a 10,000 mile, 11-week driving trip to Alaska and I missed those 11 weeks of Friday Fives.
I'll answer my questions later.
1. Have you ever donated blood? If so, how many pints?
Just one? I have several. It may be a light hit of good scotch or whiskey, some decadent dessert, maybe the purchase from amazon the wife isn't suspecting. But really, none of these compare to taking a day off work to go walking in the woods to enjoy nature. I can't feel guilty about that last one, though.2. What is your guilty pleasure?
A car. My house is on the corner of two streets. It almost looks like my front yard is a continuation of the perpendicular road, and one morning I woke up to a car in the middle of my front yard. A wrap on the driver window and the guy came to and was extremely apologetic. He backed out gently and went on his way. No harm, no foul.3. What is the most amazing/surprising thing that showed up in your yard?
Cold: Quebec, Canada. 1983 in December. I think the temp got down to -17F or so. I realize that's downright balmy to some folks, but for some that was chilly. I was a teen on a high school trip, so naturally, I didn't pack appropriate clothing.4. What are the coldest and hottest outdoor air temperatures you've ever experienced. For this question, wind chill temp or heat index temps DO NOT count, only actual outdoor air temps. Where did you experience these temperatures?
Being true to myself and not disappointing myself. I achieved becoming a software engineer, which I wanted to do since I was in high school (back in '83 when the term "software engineer" didn't exist, yet), I've married the love of my life and I'll be faithful to her 'til I die, and I've succeeded in extending the family with wonderful kids and grandkids. (See what I did there? I snuck in the wonderful kids thing. It's what we old farts do.)5. What do you feel your greatest accomplishment has been? (Wonderful children to not count for this question.)
1. Yes I used to donate often, never kept track tho.Sorry, I slept in a bit late today. I gave blood yesterday and a bit more rest felt so good on this cool, rainy Minnesota morning.
