Friday 5 for April 12: Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice

My answers to Friday’s questions at http://f.riday5.com/2024/04/12/friday-5-for-april-12-ladies-and-gentlemen-take-my-advice/

1. What is your favorite shape for ice in a beverage?

Don’t have one. I practically never put ice in, and when I do, it’s just your standard cube. I don’t have other shapes and I don’t care.

2. When did you last apply ice (or something functioning similarly) to your body?

I regularly and often use one of those ice gel packs that are stored in the fridge or the freezer on my forehead or temples when I’m having a migraine attack, or just an otherwise worse-than-normal bad head day. I’m not sure when the last time was – it was this month but whether it was this week or last week, I can’t say for sure it’s so common but not every day occurrence…

I dream of trying on one of those migraine gel pack hats which cover the whole head and eyes and which are stored in the fridge/freezer between uses so it’s cold when you have a migraine attack, but I haven’t found anywhere in Finland I can buy them from and getting one from from abroad is expensive and I don’t trust that the sizing works and so am wary of getting one that is too small/too big… It’s been on my list of things to get for years now for when I have “extra” money to spend but it’s very far down indeed because I can make do with the single gel packs and other more important/useful/fun things come first.

3. What was the occasion for your most recently toting something with ice in a cooler?

Probably when my family did camping in the 1980s when I was a kid.

4. What is the iciest movie you’ve seen?

Not movie but the tv show Fortitude jumped to mind – it’s has pretty icy conditions! As for movies, maybe The Thing from 1982…?

5. What are some good songs with “ice” in the title or lyrics?

Fire And Ice by Pat Benatar is the first one that came to my mind. It’s been one of my favorite songs since I was a kid!

I can’t think of other good ones right now.
