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?

Had a serious case of food poisoning?

Forgotten where you left your parked car?

Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else?

Paid the same bill twice?


Bonus Question:

Do you grow any of your own herbs?
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.


Thought for the Day:

Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. (Doug Larson)


Today Is:

Melbourne Cup Day (Australia – “the race that stops the nation” –
Melbourne Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
Guy Fawkes Day (National Gunpowder Day)
Commercial TV Broadcast Day

Today’s Question:

It's been so long, I don't remember. Probably it was in the early 80s when I was married to my first husband. My present husband doesn't dance.

Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever –

Had a vacation in an RV? No

Had a serious case of food poisoning? Not serious, but I've had symptoms of what I suspect was food poisoning. It wasn't pleasant.
Forgotten where you left your parked car? Yes, I have done that. I remember wandering up and down the floors of a multi-level parking garage, growing ever more anxious and desperate. It was like being in an episode of "The Twilight Zone."
Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else? Lots of times. People say "You look just like so-and-so." I must have a common face!

Paid the same bill twice? Yes, but got a refund.


Bonus Question:

Do you grow any of your own herbs? Well, sort of.
If yes, what do you grow? I bought a potted chive plant once when I needed them for a recipe but couldn't find fresh chives at the grocery store. The poor plant struggled along for a while and then died.

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.
If you could travel to any country in the world that you haven't visited before, what country would you choose, and why?

Thanks, Kobber!

Forgotten where you left your parked car?

~ Oh sure, back in the day! One time I found it at a beach a few miles away.
Another time I was drinking in a little bar with the Steppenwolf guys and I got lucky with a beautiful girl and next thing I know it was the next day and my underwear was out on my car in front of the house. (That stuff is from when I was younger and living in Jacksonville Beach, Florida)

Never. Never ever. Hippo has no co-ordination. Hippo has no sense of rhythm. Ergo, Hippo does not dance, or, more accurately, try to dance.

Have you ever –

Had a vacation in an RV?
no. maybe some day.....

Had a serious case of food poisoning?
yup. not pretty.

Forgotten where you left your parked car?
yes. scary.

Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else?
yea. When I lived in Binghamton, NY on 3 different occasions people thought I was Cathy.

Paid the same bill twice?
nope.

Bonus Question:

Do you grow any of your own herbs? silly question-herbs come in little boxes.

If yes, what do you grow?

Not sure if this has been asked but: The car fairy is going to bring you a new or vintage/antique car. What's it going to be?

Have you ever drove over 100 MPH? What was the fastest? Details?
Last time you ate at a restaurant?
What was the last concert you attended?
When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation on the phone that lasted more than 30 minutes?
Phone or text?

Had a serious case of food poisoning? No, thank goodness.

Forgotten where you left your parked car? Yes.

It would have been way back in high school. When I showed up there were nine guys and only one girl there. A few minutes later the girl's boyfriend showed up and they departed. That just left the now ten of us guys. Since it was in the school gym we found a basketball and shot some hoops instead. No other girls ever showed up.

Extra Credit Question:


Have you ever –

Had a vacation in an RV?
I have slept in a camp trailer. Would not say I took a vacation in one.

Had a serious case of food poisoning?
Not even close

Forgotten where you left your parked car?
As often as I leave my car in airport parking lots for extended periods of time I worry about this. However I always park in the same part of the parkng lot so I do not forget where I parked.

My parents could forget where they parked the car in the garage at home. Once while I was in college I flew to Spokane WA where my parents met me. We walked out to the parking lot but their truck was nowhere to be seen. Knowing how my parents could lose the truck in a one car garage I wandered around for a while but never spotted their white Chevy PU. My dad tossed me the keys and said to come get him if I ever found the truck. There were no Chevy keys on the ring. Just a Ford key. They had bought the truck just that morning. We were standing right next to the truck. My dad got me good with that one.


Been approached in public by someone who thinks you’re someone else?
Has happened once or twice.

Paid the same bill twice?
Have not


Bonus Question:

Do you grow any of your own herbs?
If yes, what do you grow?
Do science projects growing in the back of the fridge count as herbs?


Just for fun:

Has your home heating system ever failed during a winter weekend? Did you place a weekend service call or tough it out til Monday to call the repairman?
