Today's Questions:
I had a little experience today at work that made me want to ask:
When (& why) was the last time you needed to or were instructed to speak with a “professional” about something
and you ended up having to figure it out yourself because they were as worthless as on a bull? A few years ago when renovating my house. I moved the kitchen from the middle of the house to the back of it. Of course, once the old kitchen came out, the area was a mess. Various professional builders quoted thousands of dollars to restore the area to match the rest of the house. I came up with a simple solution, put it to my handyman, he thought it was workable and $400 later it was all done. No one would ever know it used to be the kitchen!
What’s one thing that you're pretty darned good at even though you never received formal instruction? Marketing. I ran a business for 30 years with no formal education in the subject.
Bonus Questions: While it might not happen every night, it does happen so . . .
What was the last dream you had that was so vivid it took you a bit to shake it after you woke up? A few months ago, but I can't remember the dream at all.
Have you ever had a dream that woke you up and when you fell back to sleep the dream picked up where it left off? Yes, it happens now and again, though I rarely wake up till morning once I'm asleep.
If so, do you remember what it was? Nope - I'm hopeless at remembering dreams.
What’s the last dream you had where you WISHED you wouldn’t have woke up? If I told you, I'd have to kill you!
Just for Fun These questions were airdropped over the jungles of Panama
If they were to make a movie about you and your life, who would you want to portray you in that role?
In the childhood and teen years: I dunno - who's short and skinny with reddish hair?
In the adult years: Susan Sarandon
If a movie producer asked you to play the lead role in a movie they want to make about a well-known person
(from the past or present) who would you want to portray? Gosh, I don't know - maybe Agatha Christie, even though I look nothing like her!

It used to happen a lot when I was in the workforce but I've been retired for 5 years plus I live in an apartment complex so I don't have to deal with repairmen, contractors or lawn people. I love my doctor and my car dealer (services the car) so I guess I'm pretty lucky. I just don't remember but it's been 6 years or more and another state.
What’s one thing that you're pretty darned good at even though you never received formal instruction?
Internet research.

Some cold medicines make me have weird dreams and none of them are good but it's been awhile. The ones I remember usually involve bad/dangerous never ending elevators or escalators and either being chased, lost or never getting to where I'm going. Yeah, I know, don't need a dream interpreter for that one.
Have you ever had a dream that woke you up and when you fell back to sleep the dream picked up where it left off? If so, do you remember what it was?
Don't remember.
What’s the last dream you had where you WISHED you wouldn’t have woke up?
Don't remember.
If they were to make a movie about you and your life, who would you want to portray you in that role?
In the childhood and teen years: In the adult years:
Lotsa luck with THAT movie.
If a movie producer asked you to play the lead role in a movie they want to make about a well-known person (from the past or present) who would you want to portray?
I'm a strictly behind-the-scenes person not a meat puppet (what a screenwriter called actors on a TV show he wrote for).
1988 - WYHY radio offers $1M to anyone who can prove Elvis is still alive
Is that before or after taxes? Say, if you were Elvis and hiding out back then, don't you think the best disguise would have been Elvis impersonator? I'm just sayin' - you get to do your music and live your life without the hangers on and people hounding you.
Good morning all from a very nice at the moment, sunny England. Now then, two people to portray me in a movie about my life. Well, it would take two people of great sensitivity. I think as a child, Claude Jarman Jr. He portrayed Gregory Peck's son in an old movie called 'The Yearling'. As an adult, Michael Crawford of 'Phantom Of The Opera' fame. I think he would be able to portray the complexities of my character.
A movie with me portraying someone else, would be about my hero Sebastian Coe, the great middle distant runner of the 80s.
Vivid dreams, mmmm. I dream a lot about a particular job I had for 22 years. I had one only last night. The only vivid dream that I have never forgot is one I have mentioned before. It was very short, but woke me with a start, and I have never forgot it. Shortly after my wife Judy's father died I had a dream about him. Just that once, never again since.
In the dream I walked into my kitchen. Judy's dad was stood at a kitchen top making coffee. He didn't look at me as he talked. He was quite animated in his movements, seemingly concerned about something. I asked him what was wrong. He turned his head towards me, looked me in the eye, and said "are you looking after my little girl?" I woke with a start, and sat at the edge of the bed. I was really shocked, the dream was so vivid.
When (& why) was the last time you needed to or were instructed to speak with a “professional” about something
and you ended up having to figure it out yourself because they were as worthless as on a bull?
When my husband and I went to marriage counseling. It wasn't helpful at all. I felt like the guy listened attentively to my husband but brushed me off. We worked things out on our own.
What’s one thing that you're pretty darned good at even though you never received formal instruction?
Analyzing people. My friend who teaches psychology on the graduate level thinks that I am more psychologically-minded than some of her students, and I never even finished a Bachelor's degree.
Bonus Questions: While it might not happen every night, it does happen so . . .
What was the last dream you had that was so vivid it took you a bit to shake it after you woke up?
Last night. I dreamed I was on vacation in London. I've never actually been there, but in the dream it was magical and I was having the time of my life.
Have you ever had a dream that woke you up and when you fell back to sleep the dream picked up where it left off?
If so, do you remember what it was?
I have had those, usually on a theme of trying to solve some sort of problem, but I can't remember the exact details.
What’s the last dream you had where you WISHED you wouldn’t have woke up?
The dreams in which I have a whole wardrobe of beautiful clothes to choose from!

If a movie producer asked you to play the lead role in a movie they want to make about a well-known person
(from the past or present) who would you want to portray? Oh, gosh. That's a tough one because I'm 63 years old, 5'2" and I have a face like a Cabbage Patch Kid. The choices are decidedly limited. Maybe Alice Waters?

It must have had to do with a problem I was having with my Internet service. The overseas tech support sounded like they were reading from a script. After I hung up, I managed to figure out the problem and got myself online again.

The ability to interpret lousy penmanship and transcribe crummy dictation.
