Yes, once and it turned out not to be very fun at all. I had the wind knocked out of me, then got my butt “warmed” by mom.
Have you ever had bubble gum explode all over your face?
 
Once. My (elder) sister smeared peanut butter all over my face to remove it, then Mom blew up because we (who’s “we”?! I didn’t ask for this) wasted all the peanut butter. 😞 I didn’t chew bubble gum again for twenty years.

Have you ever broken a key in a lock?

Once, long ago…a padlock…had to cut it off with a bolt cutter.

Have you ever had to return spoiled meat to the supermarket?

Once I bought a nice piece of meat until I walked out the door. In the sunlight it looked really bad. I walked it back in the door.

have you ever eaten really old meat?
 
Yes. It was canned, and part of the combat rations we ate in the military and I am guessing about ten (+) years old.
Have you ever eaten Baklava?

…Brings back memories…I was stationed at a radar site in the late 60’s…the fallout shelter had ‘canned ham chunks’, WWII vintage…there was a money shortage in the mess hall, and we ate ‘canned ham chunks’ in every imaginable form, sometimes three times a day…

Yes, I’ve had Baklava many times…a real treat…

Have you ever lifted too much, and paid the price?
 
No, I can usually tell a load is beyond my capacities long before I’m bearing the entirety of it.

Have you ever gone white-water rafting?
 
No, couldn’t handle that!

Have you ever worn a wig? (Halloween counts!)
 
Yes…it was a normal mode of transportation in Upper Michigan…there was a general practitioner there who made house calls on his snowmobile…

Have you ever tried cross-country skiing?
 
I’ve more than just tried it—I was once an avid, many-times-per-week cross-country skier. Much preferred it to alpine (“downhill”) skiing. Then I moved away from the snow and that was that.

Have you ever roasted coffee beans?
 
No, I’m not really a coffee drinker.

Have you ever been in a school play?
 
Yes I actually had the lead in my senior play, and even got to peck a gal named Patty on the cheek. 😍
That is the extent of my acting career.
Have you ever been to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. ?
 
No, never been to Washington.

Have you ever heard anyone swear during a toast?
 
Have you ever heard anyone swear during a toast?

No.

Have you seen Mount Rushmore?

No, but want to.

Have you ever hiked the Appalachian Trail?
 
Not yet…another ‘bucket list’ item…with the arthritis and herniated discs, it probably won’t happen…

Have you ever set the alarm wrong, got up early, and been unable to get back to sleep?
 
No, I get up at 4:00 or 4:30 anyway, so that’s unlikely to happen.

Have you ever slept away an entire day?
 
It’s happened a few times…always post-surgery, and being heavily medicated…I have wasted a day here and there…

Have you ever grilled corn-on-the-cob?
