Yo-Yo Day
I had a yo-yo day out in the non-trivia world. I slept 12 hours vs. 4 the previous day. I collapsed as I stepped out my front door on the way to the store. I've had this problem since 1996. Thankfully it is rare. I usually have this problem at the doctor's office. I had a devil of a time getting up. Nothing broken. I tend to bounce. I won $150 on a $5 lotto scratch-off ticket (all that I could afford). I then found that I had a flat tire on my '78 Caprice Classic and no jack or tire iron. After an hour or so sitting in my car in the grocery store parking lot, I managed to find a shopper with tools and time to change the tire. I thanked him for his assistance. He wouldn't take money for his trouble. The spare was low on air. I managed to drive to a gas station and pump up the spare. Now I know why I only get out 2 or 3 times a month.
My trivia day was also up and down. I managed a 1/10 in a quiz on 'Lost', a TV series that I've never seen. I got the Eds badgelet that this quiz was in anyway, since I also had numerous 10/10 quizzes in the 25 of 31 'hunt'. I had very good scores in the Daily games in the morning but low scores in the same games after midnight. Just another day at FunTrivia.
Happy Trivia!

I think we all have horrible frustrating sleepless days like that - but bouncing is certainly a good thing to do, and I'm delighted to hear that that's what you do. As well as getting someone helpful when you needed them.
Congratulations on your lotto win, and on getting a better score than I would have on a "Lost" quiz: and happy birthday a bit late.
Please look after yourself.

You really have had some highs and lows today. Hope everything will go well the rest of the day.
I can trip over a string since my stroke in 1996. It isn't too often that I fall, and I have learned how to fall without getting hurt. One day I triped on jagged cement in front of the bank. It didn't hurt anything except my pride, and a very handsome Navy Officer helped me up.

I tend to fall more than most, myself! Usually, in a bush, or walking through a door. Any place that will cause the most humiliation! I bounce, too.
What I find amazing, is your 'Hero' in the parking lot! How wonderful to know there are still people willing to lend a hand!
Watch your step...

I'm sure the honour of having fixed a tyre (our spelling!) for John Elston was payment enough! Glad I'm not the only one who drives old cars, the last one was about 14 years old before it had to go and this one's just reached 10 and going strong.
I'd say getting many more than 1 on a Lost quiz is nothing to be proud of- what I saw of it left nothing at all to make me do it again. Unless I missed the good bit.
