Thought for the Day:
“…the word “average” itself has developed strangely negative connotations.
I say “strangely” because by definition, two-thirds of the population is “average” at any given thing (with one-sixth of people being above average and one-sixth below).
Yet, these days, telling [someone] that his or her skills and abilities are “average” would constitute an insult and a blow to the individual’s self-esteem.”

Not heard of them. Maybe haven't got here yet. Maybe I don't have my finger on the pulse of snacks.
Extra Credit:
Have you ever gotten a ride from…
an airlift ? Not sure what that is.
a chairlift ? Yep.
a stairlift ? One of those home stairlifts? Not needed. One story home here and most are.
Bonus:
Is there a piece of furniture in your home that you regularly collide with (accidentally catch the edge of, bang into) ? If there was, I'd move it.
Just for Fun:
Have you driven through a rotary or roundabout ? Nope, but I've had a roundabout drive before, aka a Sunday drive.

Have you ever seen-or eaten-crisp dry “cookie chips” (as they’re called) or “brownie brittle/bark” ? Yes, I have eaten brownie bark from Trader Joe's. They're not bad at all, but nowhere near as satisfying as the real thing. I guess you could say they're "average." Extra Credit:
Have you ever gotten a ride from…
an airlift?
a chairlift? Yes, at ski resorts
a stairlift?
Bonus:
Is there a piece of furniture in your home that you regularly collide with (accidentally catch the edge of, bang into)? The glass-topped coffee table has gotten me a few times. I've also stubbed my toe on a teak Windsor chair in the bedroom, but not "regularly."

Have you ever seen-or eaten-crisp dry “cookie chips” (as they’re called) or “brownie brittle/bark” ? I've seen them but never tried them. I prefer my cookies and brownies to be warm and soft, as in freshly baked.

None of the above.

Have you driven through a rotary or roundabout ? LINK —>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout LINK —>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_circle Yes, there's one in the big city next to mine, about 5 miles from me. Many people dread going through it. One time many years ago, an older man drove in it but kept driving around inside the inner part of the traffic circle and he couldn't figure how to get out, so the police had to guide him out of it. So the man was literally going around in a circle.
Happy Monday September 19, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.

^ No to all.
Bonus:
Is there a piece of furniture in your home that you regularly collide with (accidentally catch the edge of, bang into) ? - Unfortunately, due to my apartment being so small.
