z. How many tabs do you have open on your main browser right now?

Three that stay open all the time (2 email, 1 slack channel for Damn Interesting); beyond that my mind sees them as clutter and I compulsively close them, which often means I have to open them back up again moments later.

l. What was the last thing that touched your lips?

A tapioca boba flavored popsicle from HMart. It was pretty good, but not mind-blowing.

b. What's the scariest disease you ever contracted?

Other people were most scared when I got meningitis (later confirmed to be from West Nile virus) and had to spend 4 days in the hospital on morphine. But I was never worried about it at the time, I saw it as an awesome drug trip vacation from my life. Myself, I am most scared of Parkinson's, which I am relatively likely to get, it's just a question of when.

t. Where did you last walk to from your home building that was over half a mile from your property boundary?

Assuming "walk to" as in a destination, not for exercise... That would be a few years back, I walked home from the local mechanic (maybe 2 miles) and then back again when the car was done because I was too impatient to wait for their guy to give me a ride.

g. What animal are you not a fan of, but think it would be really cute if it was miniature?

The ones I'm not a fan of all bite or spread disease, which they could do even more effectively if they were small, so I guess none.

b. Make up a euphemism for either your emotion or your facial expression when you really need to fart but circumstances dictate you must hold it in until you can find a safer time/location

Constiflation.

Update: the popsicles gave both me and Mr. Clod horrendous gas. And because we're too old to care, we did not suffer from constiflation.

Just the one.


l. What was the last thing that touched your lips?

My mug of tea. About three quarters left as I type.


b. What's the scariest disease you ever contracted?

The Flu. Not 'man flu', the real stuff. Chunks of weight dropped off me. It's a long time ago, thank goodness.


t. Where did you last walk to from your home building that was over half a mile from your property boundary?

Up to the woods on a circular route while exercising the neighbour's dog yesterday morning. A couple of miles or so, all told.


g. What animal are you not a fan of, but think it would be really cute if it was miniature?

Nothing springs to mind.


b. Make up a euphemism for either your emotion or your facial expression when you really need to fart but circumstances dictate you must hold it in until you can find a safer time/location

Flatus interruptus. (That is yer actual Latin)

confession: I currently have 52 tabs open. I have closed some too, I do keep checking for ones I'm done with to try and reduce it..... Didn't realize quite how unusual that was -my sons are both the same but my daughter called us all weird when she was home a few weeks ago.

....ok got distracted from this to see if I could find any more I was done with to close. reduced it by 3 or 4 more..... but then I got to a point where I was going to need to add to my notes on post-its plastered everywhere if i closed more, so gave up.....

sigh.
