Ah, Karla - we're just reflecting back what we get from you, dear friend! You mean a lot to all of us, you know. Take care of yourself, ok?

Today's Question(s):

Out of everyone who lives at your home,who answers the phone the most?


The answering machine. We both hate talking on the phone, and usually let it go to the machine unless the number shows that it's one of our kids.

Is there anyone there that won't answer the phone?

I won't answer if the number on the caller ID is either blocked or else one I don't recognize.

Bonus Question:

I am sure you have noticed I mention the lack of rain here quite a bit. Hubby teases me that I am obsessed with our local weather site & the radar map. So I thought it would be interesting to see

What 2 or 3 are you currently "Obsessed" with ?
1.

2.
3.

Sorry, misunderstood the question.... I don't think there are any websites that have me that absorbed. There are a few things in my life that you could probably describe as obsessions, but websites aren't among them.

Extra Credit Question:

Horatio the "Handyman Fairy" is going to stop by your house on his way to Alaska to see his 3rd cousin Fred * (who is still hanging out at Alaskan Mutts house with the security moose )

You will have his services for 4 hours

What will you have him do?


Only four hours? Gee, Karla, you're getting stingy! Well, if he's only here for four hours, I guess I'd have him replace the leaky water spigot in the back yard and repair the screen in the kitchen window.

Just for Fun:

lol What was the last "this should have been simple" thing in your life that turned into a "project"?


It was something work-related. Not going into detail, but sometimes certain high-and-mighty types are just too heavily invested in leaving their stamp on every last little thing, to the detriment of the outcome.
