Vote #831
Question:
Honestly, it's my own fault. I created a shopping list so I can post items that I want William to get from the supermarket on the way home. I only wanted three items: salad, grapes and tea bags. I figured he'd be able to remember. In fairness, I got lucky as I got two of the three (salad and grapes), but the thing was he came home really proud of himself and said “look what I got you.” What did William get me instead of tea bags?
Results:
Radishes was the clear winner with 33% of the votes from the following selection:
- Coffee (17%)
- Milk (0%)
- Cocoa (17%)
- Gatorade (0%)
- Sausages (17%)
- Potatoes (17%)
- Radishes (33%)
Analysis:
Yes, I was indeed presented with a bag of radishes instead of tea bags. Easy to confuse between the two. Apparently a few weeks earlier I'd said I like radishes, which, I will admit, I do. For some reason he'd remembered this and was pleased with himself for showing initiative and getting something I hadn't asked for, but wanted. In fairness, this would have been greatly appreciated if it wasn't for the fact that we were completely out of tea bags.

Question:
Alright, the race is on. I ordered my bike and William's car a couple of week's ago. The bike was quoted as 8-12 weeks and the car 8-10 weeks. Do you think William's car or my bike will arrive first?
Results:
Bike and Same Day tied with 40% of the votes each from the following:
- Car (20%)
- Bike (40%)
- Same Day (40%)
Analysis:
Interesting, I was the only one that voted for car. Given the car is coming from Japan and the bike from Poland, I kind of figured I'd back the Japanese efficiency. At this point, there's no indication from either and no further estimate of delivery date, so it's still unknown which will arrive first. William did wonder if one of the F1 teams could bring his car over given they were in Japan this week and are in the US in a few weeks time. Perhaps Lewis could have driven it over for him.

Question:
I seem to have a rather busy week coming up with a trip into San Francisco, multiple doctor appointments and lab appointments. Nothing critical going on, just checkups with various people. There's also a lot going on at work which is a good thing. Which day will prove to be the busiest this week?
Results:
Wednesday was the clear winner with 43% of the votes from the following selection:
- Sunday (0%)
- Monday (14%)
- Tuesday (29%)
- Wednesday (43%)
- Thursday (0%)
- Friday (14%)
- Saturday (0%)
Analysis:
It was actually Wednesday. I had a couple of doctor appointments and a fair bit of work. Friday was pretty easy, but Fridays on the West Coast are generally pretty good. Saturday was relatively busy, but in a good way. I got out and about on the handcycle and got a decent session in, then looked at a few houses.

Question:
Alright, so I’ve found a house that I like. I’m just waiting for the final disclosures to be released and if all is good, we’ll put an offer in. Not sure what timetable the seller will be working to, but my guess is I’ll know next week if I’ve got it or not. Will I have another house next week?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Well, we’re all wrong, the answer is no. But … it’s not because I don’t want to, simply because the house I want have set a deadline of Tuesday for offers, so I won’t find out if I’ve been successful until later this week. Fingers crossed.

Question:
After buying a house, should a Wi-Fi enabled toilet be top of the shopping list?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Yes, of course it should. Who doesn’t need an app to flush the toilet? Or better still, get alerts when it’s full.

Vote #836
Question:
We appear to be a question short of a vote. Appears that not getting the house I put an offer on distracted me from my routine, however, I have a good feeling about this week. Will a house I like come on the market this week?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
I have to say, I was really optimistic that Williams 18th would bring the right home, but sadly it didn’t, so the search goes on. I’m sure one will show up sooner or later.

Question:
I feel like I’m in a big wait right now. Waiting for the right house, waiting for my bike and waiting for William’s car. Time to book the Christmas holiday I guess. Will I get round to booking my Christmas trip this week?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
Haven't booked it yet, but will do so very soon. Need to double check what day William finishes school and figure out cost for the options. Expect to book on Monday.

Question:
This week's question comes sort of from a TV show I'm watching where Supergirl has made an appearance. Supergirl appears to be similar to Superman in that she has the same abilities and is vulnerable to kryptonite. No idea where she came from given Superman's home planet was destroyed, but that's a question for another day. In one episode Supergirl has a boyfriend that she's very close to and is clearly having sex with which got me wondering - if Supergirl did a kegel during sex, would she rip her boyfriend's dick off?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
Interesting, a split result. I’m pretty sure a mere human couldn’t stand up to the strength of of a Kryptonian. The next question that sprung to mind for me though was whether there would be insanely loud clanking if the man of steel were to have sex with the woman of steel. I mean, my upstairs neighbors make a lot of noise, but that would be like living on a building site. I guess depending on how many times they did it. Anyway, enough of that, time to move on.

Question:
The year is disappearing quickly. The clocks have gone back, the nights are drawing in and I’ve booked my trip back for Christmas. I have a big ride planned for next weekend, weather permitting. Will I make it to Yerba Beuna Island on Saturday?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (80%)
- No (20%)
Analysis:
I did indeed make it to Yerba Buena Island this weekend. I'm extremely pleased with myself. It was a 14 mile round trip and I think the bridge has an clearance of 200ft so I assume I climbed 200ft. I was a bit worried I wouldn't make it, but I did manage to slog all the way up. The feeling was quite rewarding, but what I wasn't ready for was how much fun it was coming back down again. I guess that was the reward for the grind on the way up. The one thing I was potentially worried about was the wind as it doesn't take much for it to get very windy on an exposed bridge. Thankfully the weather was great. Quite cool, but the sun was out and there was hardly any wind at all.

Question:
This week has a significant focus on college applications as they are due at the end of the month. I've been helping William through his answers and it's quite a battle. Can you describe an example of leadership experience when you've positively influenced others?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 57% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (57%)
- No (43%)
Analysis:
The good news is we got all the answers done. William has gone to England with his mother for Thanksgiving and they now need to review them. We should be in tweak mode this week and be ready for submission next week.
