The 'Have You Ever?' Game

[HoboJo]

No, but I find grinding hearts into my meats helps cut the fat content.

Have you ever had to ask a favour?

[WeatherWoman]

Yes

Have you ever turned down someone's request for a favour?

[HoboJo]

I took some time with this. Chewed on it a little and it occurred to me that people don't ask me for .. favours.

NO

Have you ever stepped up and helped a stranger?

[WeatherWoman]

Yes...cyclist got hit by a car, gave food to the homeless, donated food and clothes....on and on....it's pretty regular thing in our house

Have you ever been homeless?

[just popping in]

No, thankfully.... close at one time but no.

Have you ever lived alone?

[Queen K]

Yes. It had it's up sides and down sides. Wish I had a computer back then.

Have you ever taken a long road trip by yourself?

[WeatherWoman]

Yes...Traveled from Kelowna to the Washington coast al the way to San Francisco then back up through Central California, Oregon and Washington stopping at volcanoes.

Have you ever been to Crater Lake?

[sobrohusfat]

no


have your bowels ever forced you to sacrifice your ginch in the woodland wilderness?


(it's a pair of socks cause there's two - but is it also a pair of ginch ?)

[WeatherWoman]

No. I have always successfully made it to a log or hole or outhouse and I have no colon.

Have you ever wet the bed as an adult?

[HoboJo]

No.

On a technicality I qualify as an adult and it hasn't happened to me yet.

I did *bleep* on the floor (wearing my bathrobe just) in front of 'guests' once. Never trust a fart.

All those wonderful dreams where you are at a swimming pool/urinal/facility... mostly unscathed at this point.

Have you ever climbed K2 without oxygen?

[WeatherWoman]

no

Have you ever been on oxygen?

[HoboJo]

They used to put you all they way under when the where experimenting on you. Not so much anymore these days I suppose.

They'd make you count to three but I am pretty sure that wasn't oxygen.

NO

Have you ever considered a change of careers?

[dirtybiker]

Have you ever considered a change of careers?

I have, I did, could not fathom anything better than my present one (screwed as it may be)

Have you ever....experienced boating distress ?

[HoboJo]

Yes.

The McLeod river flowing through Edson is not a frightful river. It meanders somewhat. I found out later that it also splits up a few times on it's way to the mighty Athabasca River.

Now, I am pretty sure that an inflatable dinghy qualifies as a 'boat' in much the same way that a cat qualifies as a duck. They can ALL float after all. So I was in this dinghy.

The McLeod runs about two feet deep so I decide to take the family (wife, two children under five) for a 'river run'. Park the first car at the local bridge, load up the van and drive 5k up to the next bridge.

In my defense, the signs on both bridges said 'McLeod river' and there was no Google Maps GPS *bleep* back then.

So, the first hour was fun. The second hour the adults start wondering if we had missed a huge *bleep* bridge.

The 'boating distress' really set in when the depth of the river dropped to 6-8 inches, the current picked up, and the river split into two. We chose right.

The rest of the storey is pretty much as you would expect if you add the swarms of mosquitoes we found ourselves floating through.

We arrived back at the first car less than three hours after we set off but damn, that was boating distress.

*lol not even the last 'tubing' misadventure, just the first
