[quote=Kobber;32096718]Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for Tuesday, November 5th 2013. Nothing exciting to report from my little corner of the world, so let’s get straight down to business.


Today’s Question:

When was the last time you went out for the main purpose of dancing - whether at a night club, disco, music fest, ballroom, church hall, school, etc? Tell us a little about that event.


Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever –

Had a vacation in an RV? Yes, we've used our Fun Finder to go to Lake Powell, and also made a few visits to Happy Jack AZ.

Had a serious case of food poisoning? No.

Forgotten where you left your parked car? Yes, we were on the wrong floor of the parking garage.

Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else? Yes, I'm often mistaken for someone who gives a crap.

Paid the same bill twice?


Bonus Question:

Do you grow any of your own herbs? Yes.
If yes, what do you grow? Cilantro.


Just for fun:

I’m suffering from acute brain cramp and can’t think of a single question to put here. So, please suggest a question I can file away to use next time this happens. Brain cramp, there's an app for that.


Thought for the Day:

Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. (Doug Larson) He-he, tell me about it.

Today’s Question:
When was the last time you went out for the main purpose of dancing - whether at a night club, disco, music fest, ballroom, church hall, school, etc? Decades ago. I miss it. Tell us a little about that event.

Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever –
Had a vacation in an RV? No. I'd be interesting in giving it a try, with the right people accompanying me. Could be a lot of fun!
Had a serious case of food poisoning? I had food poisoning once and, though I felt like death, it wasn't a medically serious case. I didn't have to go to the hospital. Just had to ride it out.
Forgotten where you left your parked car? It's been quite a while since it last happened, but there have been a couple/few times I've forgotten where I parked and it took me several minutes to figure it out!
Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else? Several times, yes.
Paid the same bill twice? Twice. Coincidentally, just yesterday I received a refund check from a medical care provider for a bill I paid twice.

Bonus Question:
Do you grow any of your own herbs? In the summertime, yes.
If yes, what do you grow? I usually plant some basil in my summer flower garden. I'd like to grow some herbs indoors, but I don't have any space for more plants in the house.

Just for fun:
I’m suffering from acute brain cramp and can’t think of a single question to put here. So, please suggest a question I can file away to use next time this happens. Do you like chicken soup? If so, have you ever made chicken soup from scratch?

Thought for the Day:
Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. (Doug Larson) Haha - good one! And perhaps a good reason to add crumbled bacon to our green beans.

Today Is:
Melbourne Cup Day (Australia – “the race that stops the nation” –
Melbourne Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) Happy Melbourne Cup Day, Kobber!
Guy Fawkes Day (National Gunpowder Day) I remember this from years past. Neat holiday.
Commercial TV Broadcast Day I'm glad we have this because I don't have cable. I only use an antenna to receive TV channels. I hate the thought of having to pay to watch TV, so I hope commercial broadcasts never go away.

Happy Tuesday, everybody!

How about this: When was the last time somebody asked you a question you couldn't answer? Or.. What are you having/or did you have, for Breakfast this morning? Oh wait, that's a Rainroosty question..

Today’s Question:

When was the last time you went out for the main purpose of dancing - whether at a night club, disco, music fest, ballroom, church hall, school, etc? Tell us a little about that event. Back in the mid 80s at a dance club in L.A. with a group of friends.


Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever –

Had a vacation in an RV? No.

Had a serious case of food poisoning? I've had a mild case of it. Not very pleasant.

Forgotten where you left your parked car? Yes, in a multi-level parking garage. The security guard on duty was nice enough to have me ride with him in his golf cart and we went through each level until I spotted my car.

Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else? A few times.

Paid the same bill twice? No, but when I moved back here from Northern California, apparently the phone company had overcharged me (I didn't know it at the time; I just paid the bill) and I had a refund check for the difference sent to me at my current address.


Bonus Question:

Do you grow any of your own herbs? Yes.
If yes, what do you grow? Right now, basil and rosemary.


Just for fun:

I’m suffering from acute brain cramp and can’t think of a single question to put here. So, please suggest a question I can file away to use next time this happens. What was your first job?

Enjoy your Tuesday!

About 30 years ago, my brothers and our wives headed down to Gilley's at Houston but changed our minds and instead went to the local Cotton-Eyed Joe's for some two-stepping.

No
