Today’s Question:
Is there a microwave in your home or office environment ? Yes ... In both my home and all of my worksites ...
If so, how often do you use it ? Home microwave ... At least 5 times per week ... Office ... depends upon what I bring for lunch.
Extra Credit:
Do you own matches or a lighter (one, both, neither) ? Neither ... Don't even know HOW to light a match ...
Bonus:
Have you ever sent or received a telegram ? Nope
Just for Fun:
Do you like to pop bubblewrap ? I do tend to pop the bubbles when I unwrap something that was wrapped in the bubblewrap ... It does make for good cushioning when packing breakable dishes.
Today’s Question:
Is there a microwave in your home or office environment ? Yes
If so, how often do you use it ? Almost every day, sometimes more than once a day.
Extra Credit:
Do you own matches or a lighter (one, both, neither) ? Yes, I have a few large boxes of matches that are mostly used for lighting candles since we don't use the fireplace any more.
Bonus:
Have you ever sent or received a telegram ? No, and I don't know anyone who has.
Just for Fun:
Do you like to pop bubblewrap ? Oh, sure. Who doesn't?
Thanks, Cloven! I love the artwork. It's so colorful, and the larger size shows the details better!
Today’s Question:
Is there a microwave in your home or office environment ? Yup, one in the kitchen and one right here in my 'den'.
If so, how often do you use it ? I never use the one in my den as I haven't yet figured out how it works, and there's stuff on the shelf in front of it, which I'd have to move if I wanted to use it. The one in the kitchen I use maybe once or twice a week.
Extra Credit:
Do you own matches or a lighter (one, both, neither) ? Both
Bonus:
Have you ever sent or received a telegram ? Yes, a few people sent telegrams from England when I got married in Australia, and some sent them when my daughter was born (talking mid to late 70's here). I think I must have sent a telegram or two but don't specifically remember.
Just for Fun:
Do you like to pop bubblewrap ? Yes, I love to pop it!
Happy Monday January 27, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.

Today’s Question:
Is there a microwave in your home or office environment ? Yes, at both places.
