thanks for hosting dude!

In honor of all the cook-outs and picnics this weekend.
Which way do you eat corn on the cob? pretty much any of the below except i never cut it off or eat only right to left. Some people also have preferences for starting in the middle or the pointy or base end.
Left, right, left
Right, left, right
Left to right only
Right to left only
Circular
Cut it off


What was your first job where you got paid by someone other than your parents?part-time was babysitting, full-time was toy store

In honor of Paul Harvey's birthday. Have you ever forgot to tell someone “The rest of the story” and because we won't tell anyone, did you really forget? oh man, i can tell you this - plenty of times i've embarked on a story only to realize partway through that i shouldn't be telling THIS story to THAT person

So you win a pet monkey at a fair, but this isn't just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your clothes or hair. What would be the trick? spontaneously do something that makes me laugh

Word of the day
Decafalon:* n The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only beverages with no caffeine heehee - will have to tell my husband about this - his nightmare!

Today is:
International Drive Your Studebaker Day. It really is I didn't make this up perfect timing!

I eat it left to right, and I eat very neatly, separating each kernel completely from the cob. Unless it's too delicious and then I just dive in and make a mess.


Bonus Question:
What was your first job where you got paid by someone other than your parents?

Lemonade/cookie stand. It was a serious entrepreneurial venture--I made almost $300 from it.


Extra Credit Question:

Hee hee more times than I can remember.

Bonus Question:
What was your first job where you got paid by someone other than your parents? I had three paper routes when I was 11 y.o. (morning, afternoon, and the twice a week free paper.)

Extra Credit Question:
In honor of Paul Harvey's birthday. Have you ever forgot to tell someone “The rest of the story” and because we won't tell anyone, did you really forget? Sometimes at work, you need to leave off "the rest of the story" so a situation doesn't get blown out of proportion for the wrong reasons.

We'd be happy if he went around the entire house once a week, picking up, putting away, straightening up, etc.

Today in History:
1957 Ford Motor Co introduces Edsel E-Day. Too bad it didn't go over so well. I think a lot of people would LOVE to own an Edsel now!
1991 Rte 35 Theater in Hazlit closes, last drive-in in NJ Actually it's on Hwy 36 in Hazlet. After it closed, they built a BJ's Warehouse or something like that on the site. DW & I spent many a Saturday evening at that Drive In when we were dating and freshly married. Good times!!!


Today is:
International Drive Your Studebaker Day. It really is I didn't make this up Well, there ya go!
Newspaper Carrier Day That was me many moons ago!
Oatmeal Day Hmmm, I can go for some oatmeal, walnut, raisin cookies today!

Good morning, Studedude, and thanks for covering for Karla today! We're glad to see you back to guest-hosting here; I know I'm not the only one who has thought a lot about you lately.

We're getting an advance hint of fall today: the overnight low last night was in the low 40s, and today's high is only forecast to be about 64. It's a brilliantly clear day, too, with all the things I love about autumn. Yay!

You know, I never really realized it, but now that I think of it, left-to-right is always how I eat my corn on the cob. Interesting question!
Right to left only
Circular

Bonus Question:
What was your first job where you got paid by someone other than your parents?


I worked in a meat market as a cashier. The owner paid me less than minimum wage, and a few years later, got caught by the Wage & Hours people for underpaying his help. He had to send me a make-up check, to make up the shortfall between what he paid me and the minimum wage at the time. It was a nice little surprise, and paid for a semester's worth of books in my second year of college.

Extra Credit Question:
In honor of Paul Harvey's birthday. Have you ever forgot to tell someone “The rest of the story” and because we won't tell anyone, did you really forget?


I don't think so; I usually have the opposite problem, and tell people more than they really want to know.

Gee, do you think it's possible to teach a monkey how to give a good massage? That would be my first choice!
