Ask Porwest Anything

lol. I am 47. Be 48 in June.

@porwest advance happy birthday

@rakski Thank you.

@porwest why you did not try it?

@rakski Unfortunately I never met up with other musicians. But I know it would have been a lot of fun. There are actually a lot of songs I have written that could have been much better with other musicians to have their own ideas about what drum pattern to use, what bass line to use, what arrangement would work better. I really missed an opportunity I think.

Never played in a band, although I have often wanted to. I am a one man band. lol

@porwest Ok

Hey, that's fine too. If you think of something, ask away.

@porwest Fair enough Jim.

For me that is a bit of a complicated answer. But generally the answer is no.

@RebeccasFarm I liked the question though.

Well, if you think of something later, you know where to find me.

@merrybelle2021 There are always options to make a difference in the world.

I do not currently support any charities, although I used to. For me it came down to many factors. Most of the money does not actually go to the cause. And they give you too many freebies which, for me, costs them money, uses money that could be used for the cause, and defeats the purpose. Most charities seem more interested in being created to create jobs to offer paychecks and collect money than to actually do anything worthwhile, and therefore I find they are not worthy of my monetary support.

@porwest Maybe you can do personal mentoring

@porwest oh, that makes sense.

There were a handful of people I noticed were changing their names, and so I just thought why not? So, I just joined in on the fun. Pink Flamingoes is simply a reference to my album.

@MarshaMusselman I like to make sense every once in a while, but don't ask me to do it all the time.

@porwest Technically, I didn't ask. But thanks for enlightening me. I cannot poop in public I don't think anyone can poop in front of others. But if you meant poop in public bathrooms, I don't like doing that either. However, if nature calls and I am not home, I gotta answer the call.

@porwest Schmoopie is cute. What does it mean? Hubby and I call each other Buba.

I take a dump every single day. Always in the morning. And I have what I call a "two hour poop window." That is, I try to make sure I poop within two hours of getting out of bed. I cannot poop in public, so it is essential I take care of my daily duty before I leave the house. Even when I travel on business and have to leave really early, I get up two hours before I want to leave in order to maintain my two hour poop window. Hey, you asked. I answered. lol As for nicknames, when I was a kid I was called Jamie. My wife calls me Schmoopie. Most other people call me d*ckhead or a*shole.

I would have to say probably braised pork since I eat it so much. But I often wonder do I eat it a lot because I really like it, or because it's cheap? lol

@porwest And why Philippines only? Have you been there for vacation?

@anya12adwi It always just seemed like an appealing place. I have never been there.

I think it would be fun to move to the Philippines. I think with the money we have we could live very nicely. It will likely never happen though.

@porwest I'm so sorry to hear that. We are childless by choice.

@LindaOHio The older I get the more I begin to have regrets. There are times when I feel like that is missing from our lives. When I watch my sister interact with her kids and now 1 grandkid... I kind of wish I had that.

No children. My wife miscarried twice, and although I wanted to try a third time, my wife could not bear another miscarriage, and so I honored her wishes and we just decided to enjoy our nieces and nephews.

@arunima25 It comforts me well. lol

@porwest

@porwest Good to know about your comfort drink/food

@porwest How about in your dreams?

I can honestly say that so far I have not, and never have any intention to change that.

@lovebuglena But of course on that one.
