Mistakes. Name your biggest ones<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. That, though visually-stunning, a mistake<\/li>
  2. As I\u2019ve said a few times, not angling for more money from the four-letter company<\/li>
  3. That trip this morning<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ll write a bit about number three.  I told the scheduler I needed to be at my work site by 7:30 in the morning.  They scheduled me for a ride between 6:45 and 7:15.  Unless they picked me up at the very end of that time, I\u2019d have made it in by 7:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They picked me up at 7:08.  Then there were two pickups, and a drop-off before they took me in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I didn\u2019t get to the office until 8:15.  So, yes, I spent more than an hour in the car for a trip that takes twenty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ummm….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Life would be a lot simpler if I could still drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019m going to recycle for tomorrow.

    3. Do you own a gun? One that blows bubbles, yes.
    4. Favorite color? Blue
    5. Do you get nervous before a doctor\u2019s appointment? Not as much as I used to, but with all the fucked up things docs have done to me the past two years, I\u2019ve got good reason.
    6. What do you think of hot dogs? Serve their purpose

    25. What do you think of this statement: There\u2019s something wrong with a person who doesn\u2019t like cats, dogs and children?
    Stereotypes are often wrong. But, yes, those cats would eat you; they\u2019re just not big enough.

    27. Do you own slippers ?Nope.
