Grandma's 5 Questions for 9/1/20 + Bonus Thought

Post by Deleted User 289 »

1. Rate this SONG (not video) on a scale of 0-100 (0 being worst song you have ever heard - 100 being the best song possible).




2. You are at a "teaching" hospital. Perhaps I should refer to it as a University Hospital.
First a nurse sees you. She comes in with the results of an "image" (could be CT scan, ex-ray, MRI, PET scan) and shares what she feels is the "diagnosis". Then a "resident"/"intern" comes to see you and tells you a completely different "diagnosis". Then the doctor who is an "expert" and a professor in the particular field you are there for comes to talk to you and his/her diagnosis is the same as the nurse's.
Do you tell the doctor that the "resident"/"intern"/"fellow" is/was completely wrong/clueless and that the nurse was spot on?

3. Which of the following people do you think WOULD receive the highest % of the popular vote if they were running for President in 2024 as an Independent?
a) Oprah Winfrey
b) Tom Brady
c) Dave Grohl
d) Michael Moore
e) Will Smith
f) LeBron James
g) Lady Gaga
h) Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
i) Andrew Yang
j) Gregg Popovich
k) Jay-Z
l) Tulsi Gabbard

4. Someone comes to you and tells you they will buy your home TODAY for 28.5% more than what you paid for it - OR 6.75% more than what the current "market" value is. You would have 45 days to sell it and move out. Would you do it?

5. Do you feel you look older, younger, or the exact same age as you are?

Bonus Thought.....
I have switched my thought 3 times. I will keep and share the 4th.
I have not been in an automobile for at least the last 6 weeks. I'm not 100% sure but I'm thinking that probably has to be the longest stretch in my life. I have survived just fine. I just realized if I lived in the same place (apartment) I would never have to get in an automobile, train, plane, boat, for the rest of my life and I could survive just fine.

1. 95.6%. I JAM every time I hear that song.
2. Nurses are damn smart. They are the ones that make the hospital go. Doctors don't do nearly as much to help the patients as what nurses do. That being said, you don't say that.
3. Probably Lebron
4. I'd definitely consider. Love my home though.
5. Depends on facial hair. With it, I look older. Without it, I look younger.

1. 51 Based on if I can listen to it and keep it OUT of my head afterwards - then higher than 51. If I can't - then lower than 51.
2. Yes. Doc needs to know "intern/resident" is a dumb fuck. I say that being that even I could see he was wrong. Like I said, it's a teaching hospital.
3. h
4. Yes
5. Am I wearing a hat? If so, younger. If not, older - or the same.

1 - 55. It's fine.

2 - I'd probably say that the nurse got it right, and leave it at that.

3 - Lots of moving pieces in the way you put the question. On those terms, I'd say a or f (and it would cost the Democrats the election).

4 - No. Moving sucks ass.

5 - Most people aren't surprised by my age when I tell them, so I guess about the same.

B - I would get stir crazy not traveling, but I've lived downtown a couple times in my life, and I did very much enjoy those periods of several weeks where I never drove.

1. 65

2. I’d make sure that the doctor is aware of what the resident did. Usually the resident makes the diagnosis presentation to the attending physician. So I’m not sure how prevalent this situation would likely be.

3. I’d guess Oprah

4. No. Where I live home appreciation is insane. I couldn’t buy my own house today.

5. Somewhat younger, maybe 5 years.

Bonus: for me it’s an airplane. I’ve been on a plane at least once most months going back to February of 2015. Sometimes several times a month. Haven’t been on a plane since March first week.

1) Not their best 50
2) I've never had a nurse give me results of images. I don't think they're supposed to do that. I'd tell the doc that the intern had a different opinion.
3) The Rock
4) Maybe
5) Younger
