Can I make you something to eat?

Have you played snooker? If yes, how did it go?

Yes. My parents had a professional pool table (snooker, billiards?) in our house. I used to make forts under it but also played the games many times. My guy friend in high school did too. We did other things under that table. As an adult I used to shoot pool with one of my boyfriends in a pub. Actually, two of my boyfriends. Not at the same time, mind you.

lol

same question

Yes, I write 'clean' code.

Oops!



Forgot to type, "Same Question"!

I think I have. In school in 1983 I took a class called "Computers" when they were just starting to be used. We had to mark flowchart commands onto paper cards and feed them into a massive computer to make it do commands. On the cards we filled in boxes using pencil. The results came out of the computer printer on that old-school paper that was corrugated and attached together in a long pile.

In Uni I did advanced Calculus and Philosophy of Mathematics using Cartesian Tree algorithms to instruct computers.

It's not exactly "code" like you're describing, but it did work.

In code, as in everything else, I am messy. I like to use obscure words and portmanteaus as variable names to amuse myself. I doubt anything I've ever coded would be called 'clean'. I don't code much though.

Have you ever slept on a train? Where were you going?

I've fallen asleep on trains going to and from Uni, but I haven't had a sleeper cot.


Have you ever been locked out of your own home?

Yes, I have been locked out of my home; but learned some skills to get back in, including that one time after my ex kicked me out and changed the locks.

(I had to retrieve a package of 20 liberty-head silver dollars I had stashed under the furnace.)


Have you ever picked a lock?

Yes. My partner bought me a set of lock picking tools which included a transparent padlock and barrel style door lock and I learned to pick them. I had to put it to use this year when I wanted access to a garage in my garden that had always been locked.

Have you ever caught a fish?

Many times: bass, pickerel, catfish, pike, musky,trout.

Have you ever had cancer?

i have not. though many people ive known have had it. so its something thats been part of my life anyway.

have you ever written a story?

Several.
I just finished writing a book last year.


Have you ever done macrame?

Yes, I did quite a lot of it when I was a young teenager. It was a very popular craft in the 1970s. I mainly used to make pot plants hangers as gifts. They looked rather like this:

I enjoy baking sweet breads, which are probably easier that yeasty breads. I make up ingredients and experiment.
