My primary school also took us swimming. There was an octopus drawn on the bottom of the pool in the tiles which i didn't like much.

Also i remember being the first kid to master swimming without any aids at which point i was immediately hoiked out of the learner pool which was nice and warm and dropped in the big pool which was cold and i was there on my own and I resolved never to try hard at anything ever again.

Feel free to send me a PM!

I grew some sunburst squash a couple of years back. They were lovely. Spaghetti squash is fun too but in the shops here you get butternut and that's your lot. Butternut is fine though. I'm growing some this year.

Do you like the automated self-checkouts that supermarkets have these days?

I refuse to use them. I tell them I'm disabled (especially that my vision is very poor), and I ask for assistance. Every time I've tried to do them myself I get flustered and can't figure out how to work them and end up calling assistance anyway. I might as well save myself the embarrassment and speed things up for other customers by getting a cashier from the start.

Also they're dirty and germy with everyone touching them.

If I wanted to be a cashier or work in a store, I'd do it and get paid instead of saving them money and allowing others to lose their jobs.

I like the idea.
It doesn't exists in my city though.

But if it does, at large, with my culture culture?
Uhh, I'd pity whatever store owner of a self checkout because, well, opportunism.


What's the best thing you ever made from sewing?

I haven't done much sewing. I made some curtains for my daughter's bedroom out of some material I had with bears on it. She still has them. But that's just going in straight lines so that's about the limit of my expertise with a sewing machine.

same q

I’m terrible at sewing, but I made a hanging wall holder for pens and stuff in home economics class at school. The teacher was nice to me and helped a lot.

Same q

I made a long sleeved, button up, collared shirt without using a pattern.
And it fit perfectly.

When you wake up in the morning light and you put on your jeans, how do you feel?

Confused, because I don't ever do that.


Have you ever had a moment in time where you don't recognize familiar surroundings and you panic because you have no idea where you are during this time slip?

Asking for a friend.

Suddenly in an unfamiliar place?
Yes, that can happen to me.

Panic?
It depends; if it's too far off or with very confusing with turns, possibly dark or raining and I'm tired; maybe for a moment before I'd be frustrated because it registers to me as 'work' than 'risk'.

Time slip?
A good portion of my wandering does. I can always reorient myself back whenever...
.. Provided that I'm not too overwhelmed, too tired, sick, in a serious hurry in the first place upon realization that I cannot recall on how I went to an unfamiliar place.

Anecdotally?
IMO it's somehow normal from plenty of accounts I've heard and read.
Even if it's closer to one's home and they're being taken or going in an unfamiliar route all the sudden, especially if it's away to any possible familiar place they can spot; at least a tinge of nervousness comes to them.

It happened to me today. I was driving in a very familiar place but got to an intersection and freaked out because I had no idea where I was. It all looked so odd, I might have been in another country. I kept asking my daughter "Where are we?! Where are we?!" and she told me, but even when she said the names of the streets I couldn't reconcile what it meant. I had no conception of how we even got there. She told me to turn right, and I did. Then the rest of the drive made sense, but I still couldn't make sense of what happened at the corner. It felt like a time slip even though the weirdness only lasted for about a minute.

It happened to me a few years ago as well. I was walking my dog at night and I was almost directly in front of my house at the end of the walk, but I looked up and had no idea where I was. It felt like I was in an alternate reality or something. I didn't even feel like it was the right city. Nothing was familiar at all and I felt like I was lost.

Then I snapped out of it and was surprised to see my house.

Not to me, I don't think. But it happened to my partner a few months back. She was out in the woods behind our house, a place where she had spent a lot of time. And it's not big, you could walk a couple of hundred yards in any direction and you'd hit a wall or a road or a river, some kind of recognisable feature. But suddenly she didn't know where she was or which way to go to get home. It really upset her, understandably.

Did you ever get lost from your family as a child? What happened?

I don't remember getting lost, but I got forgotten. I had tap dance lessons and my mother forgot to pick me up. The building was closing was for the night and I was embarrassed / ashamed to tell anyone my mother had forgotten me, so I hid under the stairwell by a red exit sign. I was about eight.

I might have been lost at some other time but I can't remember.

My daughter got lost once when we were at a water park. She was in a shallow wading pool and lost sight of me for about ten minutes. She ended up crying with a lifeguard. When we were reunited she said she thought I left without her, which of course would never happen.

same q

Twice.
I cried and got scared, even.

I was distracted and wanted to wander around.
I overshot when and when not to remain separated.
I got lost in two different malls, both times I was out with all of my immediate family.

I forgot how old I was.
My scale of time it screwed; I thought it was at age 7 and then age 10.
Which was impossible, because my dad was at abroad when I was 8 just before we moved out.

Did those events had any impact in my life? No.
I don't end up with the fear getting lost.

I don't recall.

Do you have a raspy voice regardless if you speak with an accent or not?
