I'll go for the amish paradise one.
1. I'm not sure..I rarely listen to music anymore. Not because I don't like music..i love all kinds from all over the world. .but I just would rather process my thoughts n feelings more or catch up on news than listen to music . Music for me has always been a tool , like for expressions of a mood of sorts ,or for dancing, ballet, jazz, cheer, occasional cages n shadow boxes in nightclubs for fun..lol or going for a long jog..or background noise while ti nkering. but music was/ is a distraction from my life's ponderings. There is a album by pink Floyd that is mostly instrumental I've liked over the years to relax too..maybe the consistency to the span of time that I've liked it for chill time wins this question...
2. ..I'm wrong about little stuff here n there..don't really keep track of that ..big stuff..there is a newer couple at work who I pegged at first to not being very self motivated n kinda lazy. But after spending some lunch time in the break room with them trying to get to know them better, I can see their perspective better n understand.
3. Daily...mostly. I do have moments where I don't want to .."I got this" n as I age ..this pops up more n more and I'm at that point where I want less n less to be responsible for and do because I'm tired of doing everything on my own.
4. I've felt I've operated off the main trail..even as a kid. I was around 5 when I realized I HAD to go with the flow. It wasn't untill I was older like 13 that I had the safety and confidence to become myself more . That journey took me years to figure out ..it's been a trip.
5. Maryanne made the most sense and was very likeable down to earth gal.

Guess I should answer my own questions, that’d be fair.
1. What song (which artist) do you feel that describes you best and why?
Stay away from Elvis. I left my Ozarks for a long time and always felt the call to return.
2. When was the last time you were wrong about something and what made you realize it?
I chased money and position far too long. Sacrificed a little too much for not enough.
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”?
Tons of time in the military. Most recently, working on a fix up car (did a lot of this when I was younger but paid others to do it due to being busy). Surprised to see I could get back into auto work so quickly.
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?
Third grade. Teacher had a rule of “you can always ask”, which I exploited, asked a lot about going outside for class and getting told no. When she said I shouldn’t ask so much, I pointed out her rule of “you can always ask”. She responded by writing a giant “NO” and the board and asked, “ do you know what this means.” With a smile I responded “no”. She laughed and the class laughed. We had class outside hat day.
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?
Ginger for play, Mary Anne to stay (one for fun and the other gets the ring).

If you really wanted to stump me you would have needed to make it Elizabeth Montgomery vs Lynda Carter, Bewitched versus Wonder Woman.

I should’ve gave you credit for your answer. I don’t think I could go with Tabitha Stevens (character name) because in the show, she’s married and her mother was awful. Plus she could put a hex on you and turn you into a newt, afterwards the towns people would have to burn her.
Quit telling secretsGoing by question #2, Lori must still be in bed!!
OMG!! That is like asking which child you love the most. Absolutely, Positively, cannot decide.
Elizabeth Montgomery was pretty. Lynda Carter was just plain gorgeous

@Morgan101 who is next on the friday fives questions?
I believe it is Joel. We were looking for a volunteer last week and Ozark Hillbilly and Joel both stepped up. OH was first, and he passed the torch to Joel.

What is your Favorite cheese?
What is a Sunshine train?
Why does Director Clint Eastwood never shout ACTION?
If you had to make your own cook pots after SHTF, what material & technique would you use?
If you had to make a basket/bag to carry after the SHIF, what material & Technique would you us?

Yep, Joel, then it's PATCHOULI!!
Well, I'm up at 2:15 am (weather), so I guess I'll go first!! 1) Sharp White Vermont Cheddar! 2) Not sure, might be something to do with hymns? 3) Ooooo, I know this one!! It can spook the horses on set!!! 4) Stone! Or at least I'd try! Think baking stones on a fire pit, or a flat, slightly bevelled out stone. 5) Grapevines! I have plenty of access to them, and can be easily woven. I have read about weaving vines, guess I should practice! Would be a great thing to try this winter when I'm in the house early!! Super questions Joel, thank you!!
1.) Swiss. Love it on burgers and sandwiches.
2.) No idea. I even looked it up and couldn't find anything.
3.) I didn't know that he didn't shout Action. I am stumped. I do not know why.
4.) My mechanical ability is probably around the level of a five year old. I would try to find old metal cans that could be cleaned as thoroughly as possible. Food cans mostly. Maybe a soft piece of metal that could be formed into a bowl shape, like a hubcap.
5.) I would use cloth. I am guessing that would be the material most readily available. Take the sleeves off of an old coat and close one end. If wire was available, maybe chicken wire, that could be used for a frame.
Good questions Joel. Some stumpers and some really made you think.
Ultra-sharp cheddar
I...really don't know, but I'll go with what Pearl said: is it a hymn?
Not sure...again, going with Pearl's answer.
We have no shortage of clay around here and as a kid I made all kinds of things with it.
I would weave vines. We have a LOT of grape vines around here.
Great questions!

I like Morgan's answers to #s 4&5! My mind went to woods survival mode for those!

OK
I will give it ONE more try since you took the time to think up questions...
already answered 1
2: the commuter train they built in Florida to Orlando?
3: maybe he shouts " make my day" instead
4: I have a crockpot and solar to run it after SHTF , if our house gets destroyed and we have to live in the woods, I would just grill stuff on a fire
5, we have things to carry stuff in , not worried about making things, don't think we will go back to the stone ages, if a nuke war starts, we are all dead anyway
