When was the last time you were on the water in a boat of any kind? Please tell us a little about it (river, lake, ocean… what type of boat… what were you doing there, etc)? Either when I was 15 (cruise on the boat The Mount Katahdin in Belfast Harbor) or when I was 22 (rowboat in Biscay Lake), in Maine.
Can't recall if I actually went in the boat when I was 22 or not, though-know we visited my grandparents' cottage there then.
So it was one or the other occasion-1988 or 1995.
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever -
Ridden on a tractor Not on the tractor itself, but on the flatbed hay hauling part pulled behind the tractor (which my grandfather drove). Worked in fast food Never Won a goldfish at the fairground Never Entered an art competition Back in junior high school Been called as a witness in court Sort of. I testified in an office, not in open court, because I was just a child at the time.
I saw a kid who was playing in a parking lot and who jumped on a car and damaged it, which is what I was asked about. I was paid $10.20 for my time.
Bonus Question:
What kinds of gloves do you own (gardening, woolly, leather, golfing, fingerless, mittens, rubber/latex, football, baseball, etc. etc)? Just winter gloves, don't know how to describe them-black & thick, dunno' what they're made of because I didn't get them new, they came from an ex who gave me his.
Just for fun:
This question was suggested by Kiwikate (thanks Kk! ) Which US regional or international accent do you find the most appealing? The wide range of British (and surrounding areas) regional accents. I watch a lot of UK tv.

I've always really liked the Australian accent. To me, it's just a really cool accent that's very unique.

This question was suggested by Kiwikate (thanks Kk! ) Which US regional or international accent do you find the most appealing? Upper Midwest, as that's where I've lived all my life. I like the sound of it better than accents from other US regions.
Thought for the Day:
If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. (Frank A. Clark) Good point.
Today Is: A couple of extra-weird ones today: World Toilet Day A must-have! National Blow Bagpipes Day Haha. I like bagpipe music only in small doses. Bagpipes usually make me sad, though. Ever since 9/11, they make me think of all the funerals of the first responders. National Carbonated Beverage Day I don't drink them very often anymore. Play Monopoly Day I liked it when I was a kid. Now, not so much because it takes too darned long to play a game! Equal Opportunity Day Yay! International Men's Day Yay for men! And for women, too!

When was the last time you were on the water in a boat of any kind? Please tell us a little about it (river, lake, ocean… what type of boat… what were you doing there, etc)? It has been a very long time. It was on a local lake. My ex-husband worked for the state and they owned a boat and he was supposed to take some of his time off work to go check out a stream that emptied into the lake. He brought myself and our kids and that was like 17 or 18 years ago.
