I graduated high school in 1979.

Yes, I made a few crank calls when I was a kid. I never rang a doorbell and ran, though.

Same question.

No I didn't do crank calls I only did crank calls on fictional numbers.
What is your profession/what do you wan't to be when you grow up?

I would say a writer, painter, computer programmer, or manufacturer. Haven't thought about it that much?
Same q

I don't plan on growing up.

same q

I wouldn't mind being a "transitions counselor" for autistic young adults when I retire from my present job. I'll never "grow up." I have to prevent myself from "growing out," though.


Do you wish you lived in another time?

Yes, desperately. And another place.

same q

I used to....but not any more.

I sort of wish I could go back to about 2007, and not repeat the same mistakes I made that year......


Do you ever wish you had really sharp canines...so you can open a can of tuna when the electric can opener doesn't work?

I don't have an electric can opener (or a microwave). I'm old school. I could help you with the tuna, though.

I wish I could fix your 2007 incident as well as my 2002-2009 incident. '07 was particularly bad for me as well.

Would you want to go back and "watch" parts of your life again even if you couldn't change them?

Nope...don't feel the desire to "watch." Just feel the desire to correct the mistakes.


Would you sometimes rather watch something on TV that entertains you, rather than having something "educate" you?

I do
Cobtrary to what is pushed at us via movies n other fiction as well as emphasis on the negative points of the past in non fiction - I think I would do better in the times before the World Wars. The reason is that I would be better able to stay a recluse,
as society did not push women to get out into the world and forcefully interact with strangers regularly etc
Also if I lived before the 1947 partition wherever my grandparents grew up. (Two of them were from villages,
the other two were originally from a city in India)


I don’t think it would be idyllic but a great deal of issues would not come up. What I mean is, my deficiencies would not be emphasized as they are in modern times anf I would do better in a closed social environment where everyone knew each other and even arranged marriages (as my mom now realizes!) were not an issue generally (at least not like now and not like dating now )
As everyone knew each other’s backgrounds n personalities generally
So the ppl who jived best knew already


Whereas now ppl are scattered n dont know the past of families n so its easy to get tricked
and then things were predictable too except for the partition bcuz that was due to Nehru being dumb (plus tensions being heightened due to a swarm of events n changes from british) according to my brother although now ppl ignore his doings and place the blame on jinnah

Plus i love needlework taking care of family members crafts n cooking n handiwork n looking after kids n basically everything that is pooh-poohed now by ppl like my ex lawyer who consider anything u cannot put on a resume is unworthy
Or i could be like my Ex H’s grandmother (his evil moms mom) who essentially was highly educated taught n still had the ease of a stable environment n family support n stuff

I really am v traditional

Same Q

Oh man sorry i spent so log typing out my response i missed the subsequent posts ignore mine m carry on from kraftiekortie

Great answer, blooie -- and very insightful. I'm quite the same way in that I'm a traditionalist.

korts,
That's a fine line. Most things that educate me are also entertaining.

I don't like slapstick or sit-coms.

same q

That's okay, Blooie. I sense you are having a cathartic moment.

The 1947 Partition was a really tough time for people from Pakistan and India.

Honestly, I wouldn't to live in the time between the World Wars. Much of that time was spent in depression. And in being scared. People were too scared to act---that's why the Nazis got so far in what they felt they had to do.


Do you enjoy slow dancing, or fast boogieing?

I like silly, fast boogie dancing .... or else the kind of sexy slow dancing where you barely even move, you just hold each other close and gaze into each other's eyes (sigh...)

Did you ever give / receive a dance card?

Yes I like being entertained although my taste is not always best suited to TV - my fave entertaininv shows are on youtube.

I like being educated by books
On TV u cannot control it or rewatch the same thing unless u have the special thing (my dad’s best friends family have it) which lets u

World war time ruined the whole world n devastated everybody (maybe thats why elderly people are so mentally strong until dementia )

but also resulted in great advancemeny n. Art n contributions to culture in the aftermath. I wd hate to live then. Imagine the trauma being palpable, knowing what was going on. I think ASD ppl might actually be more sensitive to the vibes and suffer more n also the psychology n mental health fields wd not be helpful
N may even be v harmful
So maybe im wrong

I guess as ppl recovered from that n rebuilt the world it also cleared the way fr important changes to prevent such events so ppl became more accepting and less racist or evil

I am bad at dancing

Same Q
