The garden hose, the dishwasher ... *sigh*

Voice mail.

When was the last time you wish you had the ability of bilocation ?
Every morning when it's time to go to work ...

When was the last time you:
Went bowling ?
Couple years ago. I used to be in a league, but haven't since I moved.

It's not good when you are running around like a chicke with your head off. It makes feel like I better look before I leap. Today's question is like opening a can or worms but I'll jump into the thick of it. I don't think I said I wouldn't breath a word about being your ace in the hole for Saturday. When I get done with today's I'll jump around like a cat on a hot tin roof and come up with Saturday's question that will determine if QOTD people have a mind of their own.
