christopher575Full list of November questions here.
1. It’s Cuckoo Dancing week (from the 1st-7th), when people worldwide celebrate the playful “Dance of the Cuckoos,” the signature theme of Laurel and Hardy films. Have you seen any of their films?
I think I saw at least some of a couple of their movies. What I know for sure that I saw was their Scooby-Doo guest appearance.
2. Did you have to do chores to ‘earn’ your allowance/pocket money? Did your family ever pay you to do extra chores at home?
I always got an allowance but our house was always pretty disorganized and not a lot got done by anyone. I'm really glad I didn't carry those bad habits into my adult life.
3. Have you ever taken part in a team quiz?
No. I'd like to but stuff like that runs too late for me.
4. How many birthdays do you buy presents for in a year? Just for family, or do you buy gifts for friends too?
Whether they all know it or not, I've called gift truce with everyone but Garrett and his mom. I don't think adults should be buying each other stuff all the time as a routine. It's fine if you see something you want to give someone, but giving gifts just to give gifts is a strange practice that I disagree with. Especially once you learn so many people suffer financially to do it.
5. Tonight is Bonfire Night in the UK! The failed plot to overthrow the King by Guy Fawkes has been celebrated since 1605 (nowadays with fireworks and parties). Do you enjoy fireworks, or would you prefer to see a drone show?
Fireworks are cool but now that they are available, I'd rather see a drone show. I especially like seeing time lapses of drone shows after the fact.
