Oh geesh. I’m not keeping track of who has and hasn’t done it! You’re good! @Pearl 
I don’t always follow the thread. If anyone feels like it, post a list of who has had the opportunity so far but post that you’re going to do it first.
If there’s anyone who is psyched up to do it after @Ozarks hillbilly please let us know!!

Joel also volunteered to help out this week, so maybe he can take next week. You guys are way ahead of me. I was out this afternoon, so I just saw Ozark Hillbilly's response. Looks like we should be good for a couple of weeks.

To quote Matthew McConaughey, “Alright, alright alright”. It’s Friday and it’s time to ask five questions. It’s late, I didn’t look at past questions and tomorrow I’ve got a long drive to make. Therefore, if I asked a repeater…then answer with your second best answer (none of us are truly one answer deep anyways). I’m not trying to be Barbara Wawa (what kind of tree would you be) but I do think some of those questions give serious insight. So here we go friends.
1. What song (which artist) do you feel that describes you best and why?
2. When was the last time you were wrong about something and what made you realize it?
I recently told a cousin that there would come a moment in basic training when he would feel like, “hey, I got this, I know what I’m doing and I’ll be fine.” I believe we get these moments in life so…
3. When was the last time you knew “you had this covered”?
I kinda feel that most of us on here are a bit “different” from the majority of society, if so…
4. When did you realize you couldn’t, “go along to get along” and was built a bit different?
And because I think these are deep questions, I’ll add a lighter one. So….
5. Ginger or Mary Anne (Gilligan’s Island) and for the ladies, which woman did you think more of?

And I do believe Joel is up for next week…
1.) My Life by Billy Joel.
2.) The location of Asheville, NC. My wife wanted to visit the mansion, and asked be to get directions. Not only was I wrong about where it was, I was going the wrong direction. I looked on a map.
3.) I think it was 2014 or 2015 when our neighborhood was flooded. The Fire Department came through door to door alerting people that we may be stranded, A lot of very worried people concerned about not being able to get out of the subdivision. I knew we would be fine, My wife went to stay with friends (on the other side of the bridge). There was a chance she could need medical help, and would have to get to the hospital. My son and I stayed in the house. Never a worry.
4.) This one is tough. I always tried to get along with everybody. My management style was a "Moderator". I guess as my political philosophy developed, maybe in my late 20's or early 30's, I became more of a loner, and less tolerant of progressives, and people who wouldn't give 100% to the job at hand.
5.) Ginger. I loved Tina Louise. Still do. Be still my heart.
Great questions, Ozark.
I'm thinking...........
!! These are awesome questions!!!
!! These are awesome questions!!!
1. I never do well at these. Until recently I have never listened to much music or engaged in pop culture. I heard this song once and it rang true to me, so I am going to go with "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage the Elephant.
"Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
2. That the 1st Amendment somehow allows big corporations to make massive campaign contributions to politicians as a protected individual civil liberty. @Morgan101 provided case law that specified this was a matter of free speech and not assembly as deemed [incorrectly IMO] by SCOTUS but regardless making it the ruling of the court and thusly protected case law. If you want to prove your point, evidence always trumps assertions.
3. Doing dishes. Every time I went to the lady's her sink was full of dirty dishes, so I would just clean up impulsively because I am not a fan of a sink full of dirty dishes. I did not realize how much she hated doing dishes and how very endearing such a minor thing would be to her. And thusly now doing the dishes 3-4x a day has become my thing.
4. This has happened to me a few times in the military and in my love life. When everyone in the service was desperately wanting out or trying to rank up, I was setting myself up and acquiring skills that would fill the bank and keep my boots on the ground. Same with women. All my friends were getting married and starting families while I was racking up the body count never planning to settle down until I was too old to continue. I moved on from both contracting and being a man-whore, but not for decades after I didn't have a close friend still in service or single.
5. Both. But in the end you party with Ginger, you get married to Mary Anne. Lovey Howell might have been good for a roll too, but I probably wouldn't have told my buddies about it.

Love this answer, of course, Mrs Howell would come with serious coin if she was a widow….

Love, love love this song, except I went opposite of his “old friend” he got a call from. I did the stand-up routine prior to going more traditional….
Either way, it’s ok, you wake up with yourself

I think we’re all highly anticipating your answers…I'm thinking...........
1. Raising Hell- don't know the artist.
Sound of Silence- Disturbed
2. 3 years ago, my Irishman and I stopped fighting our attraction to each other.
3. age 5 when I started public school, before I went to Base schools.
4. age 5
5.neither, but the Professor
I'm hurrying, I'm at work!! 1). Rhythm of the Heat by Peter Gabriel. 2) I'm not familiar with the word "wrong", I' ll have look into that one!!
3) I always have the attitude/mind set that "I have it covered"!! 4). And here it goes ......I have always known I couldn't go along to get a long! Even as a small child!! I'm bossy and controlling and like things to be done correctly!! 
. 5). I liked both Ginger and Mary Ann! But Ginger always had herself together better! Just look at her, imagine what she would look like not on a deserted island! 
Just for the record, my brother nicknamed me "Ellie" after Ellie Mae Clampet! I always had critters, could keep a handle on the boys, and didn't dress in frilly things!!
