Not likely. My taste in cars tends to be pretty basic (I currently have a Honda Civic LX, the base model, on order). I like looking at the 100K+ cars but no real interest in spending that kind of coin on transportation.

WYE give up your car and rely on transit, bike, etc.?

Probably not, as I do like driving and riding my motorcycle. That said, I did ride bus and subway to work when I was working.

Would you ever change careers (not just a different direction in the same career) mid-life?

I already did, but not sure 34 (the age I changed from librarian to IT management) is mid-life. At this point, I am too close to retirement to consider changing again.

WYE go back to school to study a subject just for the sake of learning?

Yes. Although I already have three degrees, have gone to our local community college and taken courses in Astronomy which I have always found fascinating. Not sure how far I'd pursue it, but is fun.

I might just to see what happens. Might get a pleasant surprise. Or not.

WYE date an old friend/partner who returns to your life after years/decades?

Funny thing, I have experienced. In my life, I have had six boyfriends. With one imporant exception from college, I have remained friends with all of them - with the full knowledge and consent of my husband. Trust has a huge part to play here.

Would you ever

Do something that you are afraid of just to help you get over that fear. For example, sky or scuba diving despite a fear of flying or drowning?

Probably not, unless it was something that affected my general well-being.

Yes. Not really afraid of arachnids or snakes, unless many girls. Probably since they had a lot of them in Alabama where we often visited growing up and where I went to all four of high school and four more in undergraduate school.

Would you every eat an arachnid?

If I ever get to Cambodia, I do mean to try their grilled tarantula so it's not an absolute "no" but until that happens, they aren't exactly high on my menu. But I figure that I eat shrimp, which are also arthropods, without flinching so why not arachnids or insects?

WYE perform music on a public stage (singing, instrument, whatever)?

No. When I go out, even for just shopping, it always a skirt/blouse or (rarely) a dress and high heels. Just give me an excuse to dress up.

Sure. Why not. Jumped out of an airplane so it's just a matter of putting the fear of death behind you and going for it.

Not especially, but only because I have little interest in flying. I was a Gas Turbine fitter in my younger days. I kept them flying rather than flying them. 😉

I think so, if I kept my arms to my sides and was properly wearing safety requirements. Maybe a HAZMAT suit? There is also the possibility that I am fooling myself and no, no I definitely would not.

Some years ago I called the CO for enlisting Pfc's at the local Marine Corps office. He was nice. I asked if I could join but he said it wasn't possible because I had epilepsy. I even asked the Navy if I could become a Nurse but they said same thing as the CO.

WYE put forth the effort of writing a novel?
