Possibly? I have quite a few even if some are peppers or onions, etc.

Do you like baby's breath (floral)? I never did.

If computers are considered "electronic devices," over 12 hours.

Computers are an integral part of my work.


Same question.

I didn't know what baby's breath (floral) was until now. So I guess the answer would be...I didn't care...and still don't...

What's your dream automobile (car, truck, SUV, or other)?

I don’t have an opinion on cars. It just has to be suitable fr my life (large enough fr kids n wheelchair).
I think pickup trucks look good though. Better than any other vehicle.


Same Q

None. I prefer motorbikes. My ideal motorbike would be purple and green.

Do you like caracals?

Yes. The agility of all felines fascinates me.

Would you like to type of a vintage typewriter if you had one?

I'd love a vintage typewriter.
I have an electronic one from the 80s that could "save" what you type and retype it like a player piano, and one from the 70s with a ribbon. Neither works very well now.

Is your electronic typewriter from the 1980s the kind that had a tiny LCD window that showed your one line of text as you typed? I had such a typewriter in my first year of college I used to type my "book reports" each week.

I was given an old Remington Rand typewriter my Father-In-Law used in his business. It weighs a ton. I've gotten as far as downloading and printing off repair and restoration manuals for the model (I forget which model it is offhand) with the idea that I would try my hand at taking it apart and restoring it at some point.

Backspace is probably my most used key in a computer though and I think making so many mistakes on a classic typewriter would frustrate me.

Have you ever done one of those free word per minute online typing tests? How many WPM can you type?

I'll look for such a test right now!

I can type without looking and I sometimes "imagine" typing the sentences that I think. I picture my hands typing the words. I do backspace a lot though.

Let me look and see if I can find one.

I just did one and got 59 wpm with no errors but I was laying on my back while typing, and the test format was very poor because the given text kept flashing and distracting me. It also slows me down to read the given text and then glance at my typing for errors. I'm faster if I'm typing what I think instead of reading a text prompt.

I have no idea how fast I type. I don't type very fast, make mistakes, and rearrange sentences for them to make more sense. I believe at my last speed test I did somewhere close to 40 wpm.

Same question.

The first time I took an online typing test today I got an adjusted 60 WPM. I took another one and got an adjusted 70 WPM. 60 is probably an average for me.

Have you ever worn perfume or cologne in your life and if so, what kind is/was it?

My first boyfriend bought me Anaïs Anaïs (ironically, it was for Valentines). I really liked the scent and wore it on special occasions.

My grandmother had a signature perfume that I really liked. It was Estée Lauder Youth Dew. When she visited from California I would look forward to her fragrance around the house.

Perfume and fragrance didn't bother me as much then as it does now.

I received a bouquet of roses today and I'm sad to say I'm already getting a headache.
Likewise with lilies -- absolutely no!

same q

The only perfume I can wear is Oscar de la Renta. Everything else turns to cat pee smell on me. Even Opium which I love on other people. I hate a lot of perfumes and can't stand it when someone is marination in it. I hate the smell of fresias, they make me want to throw up.

What food smells do you have trouble with?

My first serious girlfriend, at the age of 15 wore White Shoulders. I didn't particularly like the smell but it was tolerable. According to her, the man's cologne equivalent was a cologne called The Baron. She bought it for me and I wore it while we were dating and stopped when our relationship ended. Incidentally, my Mother-In-Law wears White Shoulders and smelling that is weird to me given this history I had with it so long ago.

I have never worn any sort of fragrance or cologne since then.

Food smells: The smell of old raw seafood like shrimp walking by the seafood section of some grocery stores is hard for me to take. The lingering smell of frying fish that hangs in the air and seemingly permeates everything if fish is fried indoors.....bleh! Otherwise I'm pretty tolerant of food smells.

If you enjoy eating seafood: Scallops, shrimp, crab or lobster?

There are quite a few foods that I hate the smell of the cooking but can eat, although it took me a long time to even try. Would you believe I ate a fresh fig for the first time in my life at 64? Delicious. It was the sight of the fig not the smell that put me off.

Does anyone else not like certain foods together? Tomatoes go with very few foods for me, for example.
