Ask The Person Below You A Question: that tricky third thread...

I would prefer if I had a better general knowledge and could win at Trivial Pursuit for example so my answer would be Clever. Beauty fades with age I think so too late for that ?

What talent would you most like to possess?

No, I wouldn't like that at all. I'm too self conscious - I'd feel weird wandering around in a bath robe in public. I know it's just me!

DaniRaes question - would you rather be very clever or very beautiful?

Well in my 70s Im not thrilled by any of it (nor do I care) but I wish my bum were not quite so big!

Have you ever treated yourself to a spa experience or similar?
I used to enjoy going to a sauna and relaxing afterwards with tea and toast.

Holding my old Dad’s hand (he was 60+ when they had me) ?and walking to school

Which part of your body/face do you hate ? (It’s my stomach, in my case)

When my 45 year old daughter and her partner called on us to announce that she was pregnant with our first grandchild.....I had given up hope of being a grandma.

Would you rather be beautiful or very clever?

I'm not technologically savvy enough to photoshop - it's all I can do to keep up with this laptop, and that's pushing it!

If you could return to one single perfect moment in your life what would it be?

Sorry pressed post too quickly.
Have you ever used photo shop or another program to improve your photographs?

Oh yes! Sometimes wearing very little! (We do have hedges!)

Have you ever used Photoshop?

Shower in the morning for speed, bath in the evening to wash off the day. Sadly at the moment, I only have a bath.

Have you ever rushed out into the rain following a heatwave?

No but is is cold and dark, about 10 C. Happy enough, we’ve got electricity on again.A friend has been told hers is not back until Mid July! Third world here ...

Do prefer a shower or a bath?

If our relationship was more platonic and we were very good mates, I could put up with philandering, and not have a sexual relationship with him.

If I were romantically in love, I d prefer alcoholism.

Good question H!
Puzzler I don't talk to myself, but DH does a lot.

Is it raining where you are? Are you happy about it?
(As for me; it is, and I am)

No

Which is the better of two evils - a philandering husband OR an alcoholic husband??

No, I havnt had one since I was in school when I had a French penfriend.

I had a man in the USA contact me once. He told me he was a personal stylist to celebrities and the like. Then his business got into trouble and his mom got sick. He wanted me to send him money. The same guy has posed as a pilot, soldier and record producer. It was a scam. Fortunately I found out in time.

Have you ever done computer dating or had an online romance?

No I dont Puzzler,

Do you have any penfriends I have 12?

Sort of. I find myself doing it as a I go around a shop, telling myself what I am looking for next.
Perhaps it’s a good job I get the bulk of my grocery shopping online - or the men in white coats might carry me away ?

Does anyone else talk to themselves? (I find this interesting)

The menopause isn't to be feared, Fanny as it's great not to have periods anymore so it's best to try to be positive about it. If you get a hot flush and it's convenient put your hands under a cold tap and let it run for a bit - this can cool you down. Remember you probably don't look as flustered as you think you do and they are only momentary.

I've no specific plans for the end of covid - it'll just be nice to get out and about as normal without restrictions.

Do you talk to yourself?

DanniRae this is a degu, he was one of my first and he died, aged 10 in May this year.

I'm just letting the menopause happen and to what it has to do.

Do you have any plans for when lockdown finally ends?

NotaGran how lovely!
No, I don't like being out in hot weather at all, I wish that I did. The arrival of hot flushes this year have made it even worse!

Do you have any 'getting through the menopause' tips for me? Please!

No. I've had three skin cancers so am ultra careful now.

Do you wear different earrings every day?

I’m quite happy with the roe deer, muntjacs and pheasants who pop into the garden.

Do you enjoy sunbathing? I don’t.

A degu is a little rodent.
It's brown with a sweet little face.
Like a smaller chinchilla.
There is someone on GN who has a few

What would you like to have as a pet?

I don't wear makeup at any time because I am naturally beautiful (joke!!)

What type of animal is a degus?

My doctor has had 8 am appointments from before the pandemic.

Do you wear makeup for every day?

Yes, Delft, but only 2 really expensive pieces. The rest are relatively inexpensive.

Our doc suddenly has 08.00 appointments. Is this the norm?

Yes I do and it is a bit of a nuisance.

Do you/have you ever collected anything in particular e.g blue China ?
