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. Probably 35 years ago or more! Sad to think about because I love to dance.

Have you ever –

Had a vacation in an RV? Didn't travel in it, but I stayed with my brother and his wife in their RV at Ohope Beach, New Zealand a few years ago.

Had a serious case of food poisoning? Nope, thank goodness.

Forgotten where you left your parked car? Oh yes, many times.

Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else? Probably, but many years ago.

Paid the same bill twice? Don't think so.

Do you grow any of your own herbs? Not for many years, but then, I grew parsley, chives, rosemary, thyme, mint.

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. Which US regional or international accent do you find the most appealing?

Today Is:

Melbourne Cup Day (Australia – “the race that stops the nation” –
Melbourne Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) Always a big deal when I lived in NZ.
Guy Fawkes Day (National Gunpowder Day) "Penny for the Guy"? Used to love GFD as a kid.

Thanks Kobber. Happy Tuesday everyone!

Yes. It was in an airport and the person thought I was Hayley Mills.

How many pairs of shoes do you own? (as opposed to renting)

It's been quite a long time, probably at the OK Corral where someone pulled out a six gun and said 'dance pardner". I obliged, a sight to see if you can imagine.


Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever –

Had a vacation in an RV? No, tents & motels only..

Had a serious case of food poisoning? No, just Montezumas revenge.

Forgotten where you left your parked car? Yes, a few times in those multiple level lots..

Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else? Yes, George Washington stopped me one day and thought I was Jefferson, it was a foggy day at the Potomac..

Paid the same bill twice? Yes, just last week. I paid a clerk for something the wife bought not knowing she had already paid for it. She got the refund.

Bonus Question:

Do you grow any of your own herbs? No, don't know any.
If yes, what do you grow?


Just for fun:

Do you have any bus tokens?
How many?
When did you last use tokens.?


Tuesday a wonderful day to do something, anything, as long as it's something, enjoy...

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. Good Tuesday evening! I answered these questions this morning but for some reason known only to computer geeks the post reply would not function, so here we go again.


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. High school prom theme Up a Lazy River with riverboat decorations. Fun was had by all and the next day a full day of fun on the beach.


Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever –

Had a vacation in an RV? no

Had a serious case of food poisoning? no

Forgotten where you left your parked car? only once when we had just bought it. I was looking for the wrong car.

Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else? People come up to me in retail stores all the time to ask where items are.

Paid the same bill twice? I paid one that I did not know hubby had already paid, got a refund!


Bonus Question:

Do you grow any of your own herbs? No but I get fresh rosemary, oregano and chives from my nephew
If yes, what do you grow?


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. Have you ever been so frustrated with a computer or website that you hit the computer with a heavy object?
