Today's Question(s):

Do you wake up easily in the morning or require coffee, exercise, or something else to get you going? Oh, coffee, definitely. Without it, I feel like a zombie, not too sharp or energetic. I just need the one mug first thing in the morning - freshly ground beans, good and strong. I don't drink coffee throughout the day and on rare occasion might have a cappuccino after a dinner out.

Do you feel younger or older than your current age? Younger. I look it too, according to others, which is nice to know.

Last thing you were anxious about? Our upcoming overseas move, in 10 days! I've been anxious about that for weeks, and will be for 10 more days. So many things to take care of


Bonus Question(s):

Tell me something you are planning to do today. Well, my day's almost over here so my plan is: dinner. I'm making pasta with tuna sauce.

Which do you prefer being in front of the camera or behind it ?
Behind it.

Just for Fun:

Do you collect anything?
Books, it seems. But I'm going to look into getting an e-reader soon to help with that habit . Going through a local move earlier this year, and now a longer distance one in the next little while convinced me we needed to cut down on accumulating stuff.

Do you recycle at your house?
Yes. We have a separate, yellow-lidded bin for recyclables that gets picked up every second week, as opposed to weekly for the regular trash.

I don't wake up easily, would love to have coffee but the caffeine makes me jittery. Usually just wander around for a bit.

I feel, in my head, much younger.

Oh, I don't get anxious much anymore.

Bonus Question(s):

Tell me something you are planning to do today.
Grocery shopping.
Which do you prefer being in front of the camera or behind it ?
As long as I'm behind the camera I can keep my illusion of youth.

Vermont
• As in most dairy states, Vermont does what it can to discourage the use of margarine. For example, it's illegal to use colored margarine in restaurants unless the menu indicates you do--in letters two inches high. Colored margarine can only be served in triangle shaped patties.
• At one time it was illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole. Because there are so many giraffes in Vermont!
• Call a Vermont court a "kangaroo court" or some similar moniker, and you might be looking at a $200 fine. It is illegal to defame a court.
• In Vermont It's against the law to whistle under water.
• In Vermont it is illegal to paint landscapes in times of war.
• In Vermont, women must obtain written permission from their husbands to wear false teeth.
• It's against the law in Vermont for vagrants to procure food by force. Apparently if you have a good job and stable home life, it's O.K. to procure food by force.
• Lawmakers made it obligatory for everybody to take at least one bath each week- - on Saturday night.

Enjoy your day!

Good morning to all. Thanks for QOTD Big Mike!

Today's Question(s):

Do you wake up easily in the morning or require coffee, exercise, or something else to get you going?
I usually wake up before the alarm and put on the morning news. I tend to sit there a little longer some days looking deep within for the energy to get going.

Do you feel younger or older than your current age?
Once I am showered and dressed, I feel younger.

Last thing you were anxious about?
My boss' new boss (who I never really dealt with other than sharing an occassional greeting in the hallway) assigned a project to a small group of us. This is new ground for all of us beyond the role of our normal jobs, and somehow I've become the unofficial team leader. So this is now my "first impression" moment for her.

Bonus Question(s):

Tell me something you are planning to do today.
I am going to go out geocaching today. We have a group of about 25 caches we are setting out to find, that is once my DS decides to get out of bed. Then later I have to fire up the work computer and get busy (it's catchup time!)

Which do you prefer being in front of the camera or behind it ?
Behind the camera for me.

Just for Fun:

Do you collect anything?
We've collected the complete set of baseball cards and special Barbie's for our kids as they were growing up. We'll give them to them soon and they can do with them what they wish. DW collects little bear figurines. I collect the bills! Well, sort of... when I used to part-time in retail, I'd collect "strange money", meaning I'd buy the weird denominations that people spent in our store ($2 bills, silver notes, Eisenhower dollars, etc.) That made life easier for the bank deposit and I amassed a quite a sum without even trying to hard. Then it was all spent.

Do you recycle at your house?
Yes, we have a new recycling program here in our town and my DW has RUN WITH IT!!! The minute I finish with someone recyclable, she's practically taking it from me to put in the blue bin.

Have a great Saturday everyone!!!
