Please help me?

1 min read
I am desperately trying to raise money to purchase a very important piece of kit that will allow us to move me from my chair.

If you cannot donate a £1 yourself, please share for me so that we can get this very important item sooner rather than later!

Best wishes to all

I was tagged by DarthBloodOrange (revenge is a dish best served cold after all? :) )

RULES OF THE GAME:


1: Write the rules or copy and paste them.
2: Write 13 things about yourself.
3: Answer 13 questions made by the person who tagged you and make your own 13 questions.
4: Tag 13 deviants. (THE PAIN!)
5: Make sure they know that they are tagged.
6: Don't say "You're tagged if you read this"
7: It's forbidden to not tag anyone.
8: Tag backs are allowed.
9: If you don't make this tag in a week, you HAVE to obey a single wish of the person who tagged you.


Answering the Questions from DarthBloodOrange:


01. If you could get to see any animal, what would it be? (eg. Saber-Tooth, Whale Shark, Snow leopard...)

I would love to see an owl up close and personal. I have seen a video on YouTube where someone has a pet owl and the owl LOVES being stroked and petted. I would love that bond with a majestic Owl.

02. Did you have a favorite childhood toy? 

I still have it, it's my Tenderheart Carebear that I won when I was 7 (I originally thought it was when I was 10, but they were released in 1983) I won him in a competition to match the names of the bears to their pictures on their tummies when they were introduced to the UK. The first and last competition I have ever won! :) (apart from a drinking competition to have my name on a plaque behind the bar of the club I went to, of which I am not proud. They got closed down a few months later after a young girl died after taking part in their stupid competition (to beat 12 doubles in 30 minutes))

03. What are your 5 favorite computer games?

SWTOR,
WoW,
Rift, (although I am boycotting them at the moment because they have been greedy and charged an extortionate amount for their latest expansion!)
Riders of Icarus,
Legend of Zelda (a link to the past) played on a Nintendo Emulator both on my phone and on pc.

04. 
What are your 5 favorite board games?

Scrabble,
Cluedo,
Mouse Trap,
Monopoly,
The Game of Life

05. Favorite mythical creature? And why is it you favorite?

I would say Dragons, but they are real (lol) Seriously if I don't choose Dragons, then I choose Faeries.

06. What were your 5 favorite movies of your childhood?

I am afraid I have blocked out most of my childhood, so I really cannot remember.

07. What are your 5 favorite movies currently?

The Muppets Christmas Carol.
Star Wars Franchise
Star Trek Franchise
Any Marvel & DC Movies
ANYTHING by Pixar

08. 
What quality about yourself do you value most?

My honesty.

09. What is something funny that happened to you?

This, believe it or not, is an honest story!

I have Aphasia.
I used to have to have oxygen pumped up my nose 24/7 through a cannula, (between 2007 and 2010) Simon convinced me the cannula was called a dildo.
I phoned the company that supplied my products and told them that I needed some new dildos because mine had gone all hard and crusty.
The customer services lady was rather like "what on earth?" Simon swiftly took the phone off me and explained the situation. The CS lady could NOT stop laughing!
I imagine that the CS Lady also regales this story all these years later, too.

10. What would be your dream house? Describe it.

I don't have one. Apart from it being single story and wheelchair accessible instead of the two storey shoe box we live in.

11. Would you rather be a Knight or a Pirate? 

I think I'd chose a Knight, I suffer with SEVERE vertigo where I get INCREDIBLY dizzy even if I just move my eyeballs too quickly (unfortunately NO exaggeration) so I highly doubt I'd survive very long on a ship.

12. What is your favorite sport? (Even if you don't happen to like sports)

I used to love playing Hockey. (school age)

13. 
What is something that you've never done but would like to try?

Calligraphy,
Parchment Craft,
actually making jewellery with manipulating metal into beautiful shapes,
proper Origami

My Questions:


1. If you were offered to colonise a new planet, and were given the choice of being in charge Flora or Fauna, as in the conservation of current inhabitants as well as controlled releases of our own species on the basis that they would not remotely destroy the ecosystem but rather enhance it, which would you choose and why?

2. What do you think of PETA? Do you agree with their often branded "scaremongering" kind of campaigns, or do you think that they can be OTT sometimes?

3. Are you a scruncher or a folder? (toilet paper)

4. If you required a transplant of a major body organ but it would strangely (don't ask why, it's a fantasy/sci-fi style question, and I haven't thought that far in advance lol :D (Big Grin) ) affect your personality somewhat... would you go ahead with the transplant or risk your chances without and hope they soon come up with a better alternative?

5. 
Have you heard/paid attention much to the theories about Mars, as in - there being a suspected advanced civilisation at some point, and life (critters) on supposedly one of the most currently inhabitual planets? If yes, do you agree/disagree as a Scientist? (a question open to interpretation)

6. 
Think of the Xmen. Which kind of mutation would you prefer for yourself? This is not a straightforward "which Xman would you be" it's more open than that, open to interpretation again.

7. 
Let's say you are Noah, and God exists and he's asked you to build an ark. Yet the time is way in the future. Would you build a floating one to sail the seas, or a flying one to soar the skies, or a space ship to
venture even further afield, and why? 
:D (Big Grin)

8. 
Do YOU believe in any conspiracy theories?

9. If you HAD to choose to be on one of the many Reality TV Shows, which one would you choose?

10. You have tickets to be in the live audience, whilst recording one of your favourite TV shows (for example, Mrs Brown's Boys, or Red Dwarf) Which would you choose?

11. If you could be the opposite sex to what you are for a month to just try it out, would you?

12. What is your current favourite TV Series (if you have one at all) (this can include series that are on Amazon, or Netflix, or another internet source)

13. Do you believe in spirits? (not the ones you drink :P ;) :) )
