Oops... I forgot to publish this post... so from last week now, the Friday 5 questions from Scrivener's Friday 5 site are now here:
1. Where’s a nice place to take a walk?
Since I live in Hawaii, just about anywhere near the ocean or out in the country will provide a nice place to walk.
2. What do your everyday shoes look like nowadays?
Old and worn.
3. What separates a good pedicure from a bad one?
Cost - For free I cut my own toenails. Going to one of those pedicure places are 1. usually for women and 2. represent a 100% increase in cost from my free option.
4. When did you last go for a hike?
It's been ages.... actively last was in the 1980s.... otherwise most recent was in 1999... and maybe a short one on the Big Island in 2005 (Volcano) and 2015 (near Pu'ukohala Heiau)
5. What’s a good song with the word “walk” in its title?
My Top 5:
1. The Walker - Fitz & the Tantrums
2. Walk of Life - Dire Straits
3. Walking on Sunshine - Katrina & the Waves
4. Walk This Way - Aerosmith
5. Walk Out in the Rain - Eric Clapton

Friday 5 for November 16: Ice Is Forming on the Tips of My Wings
The following questions are from Scrivener's Friday 5 blog.
It's time to de-ice those wings before the plane crashes!
1. How do you feel about passengers riding in front of you reclining their seats?
I hate it. Some airlines have done away with reclining seats.
2. What single aspect of airplane flight do you dislike the most?
Top 10 things I dislike about airline flights.
1. Severe Turbulence (but in general turbulence)
2. Cost (ticket prices, bag fees, change fees, etc.)
3. Bad weather (rainy, windy, stormy, worst on night flights)
4. Weird people/person seated next to you
5. People who leave their window shade down
6. The seat in front of you reclined all the way back
7. Lack of legroom on some planes
8. Sharing the cabin with dogs
9. Crying screaming babies / unruly kids
10. Loud groups of people
Pre-flight: I hate long TSA lines, some airlines that require check in with a stupid app, malfunctioning kiosks, premium clubs, high prices
Post-flight: Lost bags, missed connection, and hopefully not - crash landing!
3. What was your longest flight on an airplane?
I rarely travel, but as I recall the longest flight for me was when I was much younger.. Pan Am Boeing 707 jet from Honolulu to Seattle.
4. What’s your favorite way to pass the time on a long flight?
1. Listen to music on my iPod or other portable device.
2. Listen to an audio book or podcast
3. Watch videos
4. Read book or magazine
5. Take photos from my window seat (prefer window)
I rarely do any of the above since most flights I take are well under 40 minutes long. Spend more time at the airport doing the above things.
5. What are the best and worst things you’ve eaten on a plane or in an airport?
Best thing eaten in an airport: Yummy Korean BBQ plate.
Best thing eaten on a plane: So long ago I can't remember.
Worst thing eaten in an airport: Nothing really bad, but the worst thing is the amount of money they charge for airport food! Ugh! Expensive!
Worst thing eaten on a plane: While not worst, peanuts seem to reflect the frugality of the airline industry at least back in the day... now you just eat air! (re: nothing).

Friday 5 for November 2: After ‘Im
These questions come from Scrivener's Weekly Friday 5 blog.
1. What improbable feat did you pull off this week?
I survived with very little money for another week.
2. What will you do immediately following your completion of this post?
Eat my breakfast, prepare a short fact sheet for a client on how to back photos up to Google.
3. In what way is your life lately imbalanced?
My finances... way under balanced.
4. What recent impulse purchases have you made?
In my tight financial situation, I do not have the luxury to make impulsive or wasteful purchases. No concerts. No movies. No eating out. No new records or CDs. No Amazon. No nothing. Just concentrate on the basics. Life currently sucks.
5. What immature behavior have you displayed recently?
No disclosure.
