A characterWYR live near the equator with warm weather and 12 hours of daylight all year round, or far north/south with varying day lengths and changing weather?
Equator. I read a book that took place in Alaska not too long ago. It was fascinating, but I could NOT handle it!!!!!!WYR stay up late or get up early?
Can I please choose both & be sleep deprived?If you got up early, WYR go for an early morning walk (with your dogs, if you have any) or read your book with a cup of tea or coffee?
I usually have a cup of tea before I take the dog out so I'll go with that option.WYR have your partner forget your birthday or your anniversary together?
Ants - I love them! (did you know that they leave traces of formic acid wherever they go? Formic acid is antiseptic and it acts as a repellent against cockroaches). (if you leave ants alone, they will hang around for a while & then just disappear again. If you poison them, they increase their offspring & multiply!) (I studied Entomology at university)WYR watch the news/current affairs or a nature program on TV?

George Clooney.Would you rather cut off one of your fingers or pay $5,000 of your own money for the person you hate most to go on a spa vacation?
That was an interesting one, Claire! I'd pay the $5000 to save my finger and she wouldn't enjoy the spa anyway; she has a total inability to enjoy anything.WYR have lunch and a one-on-one conversation with the Pope or with the Dalai Lama?
