Have a safe and secure day, C-D peoples. Thanks Cloven sweetie you too.



Kill me now. I was supposed to get off of work at 6am because I have to be back at 3pm but I was so busy I couldn't get out until 7am. I only slept about 4 hours because the phone woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep. There was an arrest at about 230am. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. I was on my way to get something to drink and I glanced in the room at a patient and the way she looked made me do a double take. She wasn't breathing so I started compressions and yelled to call a code. We got her back but what did we save? I have to be out at the rental tomorrow at 10am so I might not see you tomorrow. I may have the shorties over night and I'd love to take them ice skating tomorrow. Fun.

Today’s Question:
Do you watch/listen to “talk” shows with a monologue, interview(s), and musical guest ?
If so, which segment do you prefer/like best:
I use to but like so many others I lost interest when Johnny retired.

the monologue, the interview, the music-or other parts of the show ?
I liked the segment right after the monologue and before the interviews.

Extra Credit:
Have you ever found yourself getting emotional at the conclusion of a tv series
(when the shows ends permanently, with no more episodes being made) ?
Nope. Most shows run one more season than they should and get real awful when they run out of material.

Bonus:
How long or short are your fingernails:
Are they shorter than, this one
longer than,
or even with (end at) fingertips ?

Just for Fun:
Have you ever smoked a cigar or (tobacco) pipe ?
I will smoke fish. I will smoke cheese. When I had my 67 Gran Prix I smoked the competition. However I have never smoked a cigar, cigs or a pipe.

Do you like or dislike either of those smells ?
Smoking fish and cheese smells great. Cigars, cigs and pipes smell yucky.

Happy Monday December 22, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.

Today’s Question:
Do you watch/listen to “talk” shows with a monologue, interview(s), and musical guest ?
If so, which segment do you prefer/like best:
the monologue, the interview, the music-or other parts of the show ?

That depends on the show, monologue is the first choice, interviews the second.

Extra Credit:
Have you ever found yourself getting emotional at the conclusion of a tv series
(when the shows ends permanently, with no more episodes being made) ?

Yes. There were few really good TV shows I wish they would never end ...

Bonus:
How long or short are your fingernails:
Are they shorter than,
longer than,
or even with (end at) fingertips ?

They are my own (I despise plastic nails), not very long - maybe 3-4mm longer than fingertips.

Just for Fun:
Have you ever smoked a cigar or (tobacco) pipe ?

Not very ladylike. I did try cigarettes for few years. Quit cold turkey. Hate the smell since.

Do you like or dislike either of those smells ?

Some cigars or pipe tobacco smells really nice at the time someone smokes them, but I hate the smell of tobacco lingering in a room the next day. I have a neighbor who smokes and who I visit frequently, but I strip all my clothes in my garage before I enter my home again. I wash all and take shower. I can't stand the smell on my clothes or my body.
