She's 45 today. Not much more to say other than let's go to the friday5.org Friday Five.
1. What’s something really, really stupid you’ve done that could easily have resulted in your own death?
You want me to name just one? I think the most recent one was when I tried to pass a car on a two-lane highway in rural Michigan during a pounding rainstorm. The car was going slower than necessary, but the rain was so hard I couldn't see the lights of the car in the opposite lane until we were too close for comfort. We were both okay, but it was definitely a bit of a scare for me.
2. What makes you feel stupid?
Everything I do. (Sorry, normally I do a better job of filtering the emo stuff out, but I am majorly depressed right now.)
3. What’s something that’s stupid in a very smart way?
I'm not sure if this is supposed to mean stupid in a positive or negative way, but I'll go with the easy answer here and have done: Monty Python.
4. What’s an example of a stupid idea working out in a way that solved a problem?
Hitting something in frustration in hopes that the strike will make that thing work. This has actually worked enough times in my life that, for things that I own, it's part of my fix-it strategy.
5. There is apparently a brand of packaged popcorn called Smartfood. What might be found in the package labeled Stupidfood?
Animal carcass. What, you were expecting something else from me?
