No. I don't even like having medically necessary surgery, let alone doing it for purely aesthetic reasons. Maybe to cover a horrible burn scar or something, though.

WEA Write your autobiography in the third person so you wouldn't be recognised?

Oh, maybe. I'd probably still be recognized by anyone who was still awake after the first few chapters (my life isn't exactly scintillating).

WYE buy or lease a new car just to have a new one even though your old one was perfectly serviceable?

I periodically think about it but it would have to be something that really engages me. Drawing of some form would be most likely.

WYE take the long way so you could enjoy the drive?

Would you ever deep sea dive to 120 feet?

Yes. Have, but only with a least one other diver and with a safety person on the boat. You have to be careful to decompress property. Definitely not for an inexperienced diver.

Active Ink Slinger

Yes, with the proper equipment and preparation and planning. Not on the spur of the moment, i.e., spontaneously. Easy to be courageous with the proper planning and preparation.

Would you ever ride at speed with a NASCAR driver at the wheel?

Crazy old ape

Probably not. I get nervous at high speed* even when I'm not at the wheel.

WYE accept a ride in a military-grade jet?

* by high speed, I mean over about 110km/h, certainly above 120.

Done it. Frequently. Enjoyed seeing rapt attention on usually sullen faces.

WYE Massively overpay for something that you wanted, just because it was hard to find?

Crazy old ape

Maybe if I really, really, really wanted it more than anything else on Earth, but I'm generally kind of cheap that way.

WYE take an otherwise uninteresting or problematic job just for the money?

On the beauty that lies beneath - Beyond the Veil comp entry!

Chasing Dragons

I have, to a degree. I spent thirteen years working in factories that made lightbulbs. The only thing that made it bearable was that I was a production supervisor.

WYE work a permanent night shift?

Active Ink Slinger

My dear lady wouldn't allow it. Anyway, it wouldn't be a vacation without her.

WYE Purchase medication recommended on the internet?

Crazy old ape

Depends where on the Internet it was recommended, but generally not.

WYE purchase cut-rate meds over the Internet?

On the beauty that lies beneath - Beyond the Veil comp entry!

Chasing Dragons

Never. I don't even like taking prescribed meds, so I would never risk it.

WYE sit through a concert on TV of music that you hated just because someone else does?

Active Ink Slinger

Reluctantly. I guess.

I have tried but I don't seem to "go under" very easily so kind of gave up.

WYE flip a coin to make a decision that really mattered?

On the beauty that lies beneath - Beyond the Veil comp entry!

No.

WYE eat something you know you shouldn't (i.e. something sugary if diabetic)?
