Today's Question(s):

Luggage and an overnight duffle bag (one day's change of clothes for the times when it takes 2 days to get to my destination).
If you use luggage, how do you know which pieces are yours in a sea of suitcases?
I figure if it's in my car trunk, it's probably mine.

What are three things that raise the hairs on the back of your neck?
1. I have a hairy neck?

Do you use luggage, or do you use things such as backpacks, zippered bags, etc. when going from place to place? Plastic grocery bags.....seriously, it depends on where I'm going and why. Long trip...luggage...short trip backpacks.
If you use luggage, how do you know which pieces are yours in a sea of suitcases? Yup...I have very bright luggage tags. Funny Mom story...we went to my sisters and she was all about the big bright piece of duct tape on her suitcase so she could spot it...good idea in theory...we got to baggage claim and 5 other people had done that on the same suitcases and the same color of tape. I snickered as I got my bag and waiting.

I have a laptop and a Kindle Fire....in no way do I use them for everything that they're intended for.

Reading instructions just doesn't cut it for me. I need someone to show me how to do stuff.

(Not the 1st season, though. )

Today's Question(s):
Do you use luggage, or do you use things such as backpacks, zippered bags, etc. when going from place to place? It depends on what you mean from place to place. Most times I use my wallet and pants pockets. If you mean vacation traveling to other places then we use suitcases.
If you use luggage, how do you know which pieces are yours in a sea of suitcases? Name tags and colored straps.
Just for Fun:
What are three things that raise the hairs on the back of your neck?
1. Mean, nasty, disrespectful people.
2. Bad drivers.
3. Trolls.
Bonus Question:
What frustrates you most about modern technology, or have you got it all figured out? Everything. Not everyone thinks the same as the inventor or designer of the product. I feel if God wanted people to have cell phones and texting devices glued to the hands or ears all the time that we would have been born with them already as part of the body.
Footnote:Wow, hope none of you get this new flu strain, horrible horrible. Spouse has it now too and it seems it's never going to end. Shots are a waste of time and money for this bugaboo.
