Thank you @Kiwi2016 for inviting me to the cafe. I love all of your answers and adopt them all as my own, except the last one...
The most embarrassing thing that happened to me in school in was as a cheerleader failing to complete a roundoff, back handspring with a back flip during a half time show at a football game. I landed on my head, knocked myself out, and lay unconscious in the middle of the field while every watched. I was okay except for a broken bone in my hand for which I had to wear a club-like cast for two weeks and thus relive the event when people asked me how I got the cast. Wish I knew back then that I didn't owe anyone a detailed explanation of my most embarrassing moment just because they asked. I can laugh about it now.

thank you for opening the cafe @Champagne and inviting me @Kiwi2016
Good morning @Champagne , thank you for opening the cafe and inviting me.
Good afternoon all. Hope today is treating you kindly. Are you making any fun or exciting plans for the weekend. For me, just a quiet one with netflix with maybe a little shopping
I am bipolar, was manic the last few days but I recognized it within 24 hours so I was able to do my breathing exersizes yesterday. We wear masks at work so nobody knew. I feel more normal this morning. I have to stave off depression now, will probably do some mindfulness exercises this weekend. I am nder good care but the medication only does so much. I am making plans to go to a friends house to finish installing a drawer slide. I needed some blocking for it and got that all set up. I was going to do it last Saturday and it did not suit him. If this slide works and he is happy with it I have to install 5 more slides. I will probably have to pay for the slides. The rest of the weekend I will probably work on my lanterns.
Here's some yummy healthy lunch; What is your lunch today? Usually healthy or a big mac whopper?
I don't normally eat breakfast or lunch, just dinner. We are only working 9 hour days this week so it is easy.
Some questions for your hump day brain power!!
If You Had To Give Up One Thing For The Rest Of Your Life, Would It Be Brushing Your Hair Or Brushing Your Teeth?
I have been bald since about age 35. I was told it came from masturbating. I told this to my roommate who has a beautiful head fulll of long brown hair and he said "if that were true I would have been bald a long time ago." I haven't used a comb for 20 years.
What’s A Holiday That Doesn’t Exist That You’d Like To Create?
I would like to make "National Mental Health Day" worldwide to focus attention on the mental health crisis. I would make the third Thursday of August so the factories would shut down on Friday too and everyone would get a 4 day weekend.
If You Could Make A Rule For A Day And Everyone Had To Follow It, What Would It Be?
Everyone has to be courteous to each other.
What Is One Thing You Refuse To Share?
I share everything. I was raised with 7 siblings and one bucket of scrap wood blocks to play with. My parents never made more than minimum wage. We had hand me down clothes. THe 4 boys slept in one bedroom annd the girls in another. We shared everything. My oldest brother always got the new underwear and the rest of us got hand me downs.
What Is The Most Embarrassing Thing That Happened To You In School?
In the church I was raised in we were taught non-resistance. I registered for the draft as a conscientios objector. My dad told us if we ever got in a fight in school we would get a whipping when we got home. In 3rd or 4th grade it snowed a lot one day, maybe a foot of snow on the ground. This was at a time when schools didn't shut down for a little snow, it was powdery and easy to drive through. At recess about 6 or 7 kids took me to the back of the playground. They had been watching television and wanted to beat up somebody. They threw me down into the snow and started kicking me. They knew enough not to bruise me where it would show. They shoved my face into the snow, beat on me, and then left me there. I never told anyone, afraid I would get a whipping. I did absolutely nothing to these kids. My only explanation for why they would do this to me is because they saw it on television.

Thanks for the tag, Champ! I love that quinoa bowl.
Honestly, brushing my hair. I love love love my hair, but I prefer being able to eat later on in life, too. Also I could just comb
Probably bringing back 'Saint Monday's Day.' It was a preindustrial holiday which basically was just monday but noone had to work.
If everyone had to follow it, I hate to say it but it would probably be 'care about others more than yourself.' With election season coming up more people would vote Biden xd
Probably that the reason I'm not good at meeting new people is that I used to be in boys school, and hadn't talked to a girl of my own age for 11 years, not because I have social anxiety. I just have no clue how to treat them/what to say, and I'm intimidated.
I got lifted by two rugby lads on a chair on the top of the lockers. It was absolutely hilarious but I was blushing like a lunatic!

Brushing my hair, even though I have the type of hair that will get tangled easily. But I don't want to end up losing my teeth.
What’s A Holiday That Doesn’t Exist That You’d Like To Create?
National SF Day
If You Could Make A Rule For A Day And Everyone Had To Follow It, What Would It Be?
To be kind to one another. Seems simple enough but not for some.
What Is One Thing You Refuse To Share?
That's hard to answer because I even share my chocolate and energy drinks, lol.
What Is The Most Embarrassing Thing That Happened To You In School?
When I had spent a few months out of school because I was suicidal from bullying. Then I came back and the teacher said I had been sitting on my ass watching TV and eating bon bons the whole time, and the class laughed.

Tysm for the tags @Champage & @Kiwi2016 I only have answers for 2 of the 5 q's today sorry but hope everyone is having a good day anyway

As most others have said, brushing my hair.
What’s A Holiday That Doesn’t Exist That You’d Like To Create?
I have a few ideas for some:
- Half-year day (would be on June.15th, or maybe just the 2nd Friday of June)
- Daughters day (could be in either April or July since May & June already have mother's and father's day)
- Sons day (same as what I said above)
- Sisters day (could be Feb.1st, no particular reason for picking that day other than that no other holidays that I know of are on that day lol)
- Brothers day (March.1st, exactly 1 month after sister's day. I think this would be kinda cool cos then that would be 4 months in a row that had a celebration of some kind on the first of the month - Jan.1 - New Years day, Feb.1st - Sisters day, Mar.1 - Brothers day, Apr.1 - April Fools day)
- International celebration day (where each country of the world celebrates the best things about their country, not sure when it could be but either a Friday or a Monday so people would get a long weekend out of it)

Not brushing my hair but I have none growing on my head the rest of the body I just ignore.
What’s A Holiday That Doesn’t Exist That You’d Like To Create?
Most of the answers I would come up with have been mentioned in some form already.
If You Could Make A Rule For A Day And Everyone Had To Follow It, What Would It Be?
Behave like an intelligent, responsible adult with common sense.
What Is One Thing You Refuse To Share?
My underwear.
What Is The Most Embarrassing Thing That Happened To You In School?
Farting up a school bus when in about 6th grade, but I was laughing as hard as everything else as folk started calling me skunk.
