Today’s Question:

A little survey to start... The QOTD gets posted at different times according to the convenience of the questioner. I usually post the Tuesday questions around this time of day (see time stamp above) but can post them earlier or a little later if most people would prefer. When do you prefer to answer the questions –

The afternoon before

The evening before

Early in the morning – earlier than the time stamp above

Right around the time stamp above

A couple of hours later than the time stamp above
(I can’t do it much later than that, as it’s bedtime here!)

Doesn’t matter, I will answer the QOTD regardless of when they are posted


Extra Credit Question:

Frances the Flight Fairy will give you an air ticket to any place within three hours of where you now live. Where will you go, and why? Since Frances is an imaginary fairy, you can answer the question even if you don’t like flying!
3 hours won't get me to California, so guess I'll go North, maybe NYC, because I haven't been there.
Bonus Question:

Agree or disagree (or more if you like) –

I currently have to take medication on a regular basis.

I don’t own a warm coat. Disagree

Corn flakes are one of my favourite breakfast cereals.

My short-term memory seems to be fading quite rapidly. Disagree

I don’t like shellfish. Disagree


Just for fun:

Do you use all or most of your fingers when typing on a keyboard, or do you ‘hunt and peck’?
All 10 of them

Thought for the Day:

Not everything that matters can be measured, and not everything that can be measured matters. (Albert Einstein)

Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, July 30th, 2013. Have finally recovered from my trip to Sydney, the big 70th birthday party (not mine!), and the various shenanigans associated with hanging out with a big group of old friends for several days. It was fun, but we all agreed we can’t keep up quite like we used to!

I don’t like shellfish. As a favorite CD poster friend and real world friend of mine would say, "Depends"

Doesn’t matter, I will answer the QOTD regardless of when they are posted - I prefer the time that I post. Seriously when someone else is hosting I don't mind when they post. I don't have to answer when the question is hot off the press. If I miss the question in the morning I'll answer it if I can get to it within the same day.


Extra Credit Question:
Frances the Flight Fairy will give you an air ticket to any place within three hours of where you now live. Where will you go, and why? Since Frances is an imaginary fairy, you can answer the question even if you don’t like flying!
Within 3 hours flight time I want to go to Louisville for a genuine hot brown sandwich. It's not just a sandwich. It's a legend. Link:
Hot Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bonus Question:
Agree or disagree (or more if you like) –

I currently have to take medication on a regular basis. happily, no

I don’t own a warm coat. I do. It gets cold in winter.

Corn flakes are one of my favourite breakfast cereals. They're okay.

My short-term memory seems to be fading quite rapidly. Not rapidly, but it's not as sharp as it was.

I don’t like shellfish. I like shrimp and lobster.


Just for fun:
Do you use all or most of your fingers when typing on a keyboard, or do you ‘hunt and peck’?
all fingers


Today Is:
Paperback Book Day
If your day is a page turner, may it be so in a good way.

Doesn’t matter, I will answer the QOTD regardless of when they are posted < This one. I answer the questions as soon as I'm able in the morning; often when I first get to my office, before starting time. That would be about 3.5 hours after the time stamp on your OP, Kobber. It works out fine for me the time you do it, because the questions are waiting for me whenever I can get to them in the morning.

Extra Credit Question:
Frances the Flight Fairy will give you an air ticket to any place within three hours of where you now live. Where will you go, and why? Since Frances is an imaginary fairy, you can answer the question even if you don’t like flying! Within 3 hours? Hmmmm. I'll take Montreal, Canada.

Bonus Question:
Agree or disagree (or more if you like) –
I currently have to take medication on a regular basis. Agree. I take a drug for dizziness due to Meniere's Disease in my left ear. (Yes, I'm a dizzy blonde. )
I don’t own a warm coat. Disagree.
Corn flakes are one of my favourite breakfast cereals. Disagree.
My short-term memory seems to be fading quite rapidly. Disagree. (It's always been bad. )
I don’t like shellfish. Disagree. Some of my best friends are shellfish.

Just for fun:
Do you use all or most of your fingers when typing on a keyboard, or do you ‘hunt and peck’? I use all fingers and my thumbs. I learned to type on a manual typewriter.

Thought for the Day:
Not everything that matters can be measured, and not everything that can be measured matters. (Albert Einstein)

Today’s Word:
Esse \ ES-se; Eng. ES-ee \ , noun;
1. being; existence.
Interesting word. Must be the root of "essence."

Today Is:
National Cheesecake Day Oh boy! One of my faves.
Father-in-Law Day I don't have one.
National Support Public Education Day Support our teachers!
Paperback Book Day I just finished one last week. Presently I'm reading a hardback. Next in line is another paperback.

Have a terrific Tuesday, everybody!

I can't answer today's questions because there are no questions to answer for so far down the page that this Nook won't let me scroll down that far.
What the heck!?
I ain't flyin' anywhere with no dam fairy and I don't care when you do the questions.
You broke my Nook thingy.
Now go eat.
