friday 5 for october 13: capitalizing on opportunity – http://f.riday5.com/2023/10/13/friday-5-for-october-13-capitalizing-on-opportunity/
1. When did you last visit a building where legislation or executive governing take place?
The last time was when I went to the police station to collect my new ID. It was during COVID-19 but I can’t remember whether it was in 2021 or 2022.
2. What do you carry on your person, in a bag, or in your car, just in case?
Don’t have a car, but in my backpack I always have water, migraine pills, diarrhea pills and if I’ve been having a worse-than-normally bad bowels symptoms day/week/month, I also a carry a change of panties, trousers (and if it’s autumn/winter, also winter leggins) in case I have an accident, and also plastic bag to carry the soiled clothes back home.
3. When did you last lower yourself (physically) through an opening of some kind?
Um… when I was a little kid and climbing on a kids climbing scaffolding thingy? Don’t know what they’re called in English. They’re made of metal or ropes and taller than kids are.
4. How do you feel about the death penalty?
I don’t feel much of any kind of way. My country doesn’t have death penalty. I’ve never had to really think about it. Part of me mildly thinks there are crimes that deserve death as punishment, but also part of me thinks that if a person commits such a crime, then the society has failed them and that society has no right to take anyone’s life.
5. Which vocalists most impress you with their ability to sing in the upper register?
Dunno about upper register, but I love Ofra Haza’s voice. She sings “Love Song” without musical accompaniment and it’s wonderful. Oh, Whitney Houston had an impressive upper register I thought! And Sarah Brightman has a wonderful voice too!
The Friday Five for 13 October 2023 – https://thefridayfive.dreamwidth.org/120779.html
1. Are you superstitious?
Nope. Although sometimes I wonder when I’ve lost something such as one of my cheese slicers, search for it for months with no luck, finally cave in and buy a new one – and then two days later, find the missing old one! Things like this seem to happen to often!
2. Which superstitions do you believe in and act on?
None.
3. What superstition does someone close to you believe in and act on?
None that I’ve noticed.
4. Do you take any extra precautions on Friday the 13th?
Nope. I don’t normally even notice that “today’s the day with the bad number of the month and the day of the week that combined is said to be bad” unless somebody points it out to me.
5. Do you secretly judge superstitious people?
Nope. Only if their superstitions affect other people negatively and then I judge them publicly.
