[quote=Kobber;28629167]Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, March 12th, 2013. Apologies to our early bird QOTD people if these questions are posted a little later than usual for Tuesday… I completely forgot that you guys have (mostly) moved your clocks an hour ahead. We’ll be putting our clocks back, but not until April 7th – I’m pleased we hang on to our summer hours as long as possible!

When was the last time you visited a US Post Office, and what did you do there? Several months ago. I picked up stamps.
Extra Credit Question:
What’s the most ‘dare devil’ thing you’ve ever done – such as jumping out of a plane, white water rafting, bungee jumping, abseiling, mountain-climbing, etc.? Well, I doubt I'm ever going to do any of that kind of stuff (), but I did hold a tarantula. Twice. I actually kinda liked it.
What’s the most ‘dare devil’ thing you’d like to do in the future? I might be able to do a polar bear plunge, but that's probably going to be the extent of any "dare devil" activities on my part. Sometimes I think just traveling by airplane is quite enough.
Bonus Question:
I know three people who have a birthday today. Do you know anyone with a birthday today? Yes, a friend's daughter, Cassie.

Today is Organize Your Home Office Day. Do you have a home office? If so, does it need organizing? I do not have a home office. But if I did, I am absolutely certain it would need organizing!
