Today’s Question:
Does your fridge have a thermometer inside (that you can read) ? No
Do you have a thermometer outside your home-if so, can you see it from indoors ?
Actually had one of those digital indoor/outdoor ones for years. After it broke the multiple replacement failed to work so I got a big old fashion wall clock looking one. When the sun hits it the thing will read 30 degrees hotter than actual, even out of the sun it is useless. I keep it up as a running joke, just use my phone now
Does your vehicle have a thermometer readout inside, on/around dashboard area ?
Yeah and I love it. I play a game where I guess, I'm allowed +/- 3 degrees and I usually nail it.

Do you ever skim the “comments section” of an online story/piece of content (for instance, at YouTube or Facebook) ?
Oh sure
If so-is that before, after, or instead of-viewing a video or reading an article (the content itself) ?
After duh.

Have you ever seen-or smelled-a carrion flower (plant which, when in bloom, emits odor of decomposition) ?[/b][/color]
I am about to Google "carrion flower" so I believe we have our answer.
Do you use “twist-ties” for anything ?
Sure when I can find them. We have a very busy pattern on our kitchen tablecloth, it turns a twist tie placed while opening bread into a game of Where's Waldo, little bastards simply disappear on that tablecloth. So this results in the classic go to move perfected by men around the world of spinning the bread so the open end is closed and in the form of a long skinny strand, then tucking the long strand under the bread to hold it in place as it is returned to the counter.
If you buy bread products, is the “freshness date” stamped right on the bag, a plastic tag, a sticker, or another method ?
I should know this but I don't check, I really should check the dates.

Today’s Question:
Does your fridge have a thermometer inside (that you can read) ?
I think so.
Do you have a thermometer outside your home-if so, can you see it from indoors ?
Yes.
Does your vehicle have a thermometer readout inside, on/around dashboard area ?
Yes.
Extra Credit:
Do you ever skim the “comments section” of an online story/piece of content (for instance, at YouTube or Facebook) ?
Yes, but in the past months comments sections have become so tedious with the cliche name calling. Even if it has absolutely nothing to do with politics; it can be an article about bran flakes and you can guarantee that it will be flooded with "Trumpettes", "libt@rds" (CD censored me), 'SJWs", "snowflakes", "alt-right", "alt-left", etc.
So free king over it. It's turning my brain to mush. If anyone accuses me of being immature, I just bring up crap like that.
If so-is that before, after, or instead of-viewing a video or reading an article (the content itself) ?
I at least partially skim or view first.

Today’s Question:

One in the kitchen does. One in the utility room doesn't.
Do you have a thermometer outside your home-if so, can you see it from indoors ?
Yep and yep.
Does your vehicle have a thermometer readout inside, on/around dashboard area ?
Not my truck. Our car does.

Do you ever skim the “comments section” of an online story/piece of content (for instance, at YouTube or Facebook) ?
Every time. I won't read most news sites that don't have comments sections.
If so-is that before, after, or instead of-viewing a video or reading an article (the content itself) ?
Any and all of those depending on my level of interest. If a news story is really familiar or simple, the comments can be more interesting than the story and give updates after the story is shelved by the news source. But usually I at least skim the article first. I might read comments before a vid to gauge whether it's worth my time.
Bonus:
Have you ever seen-or smelled-a carrion flower (plant which, when in bloom, emits odor of decomposition) ? No, I'm happy to say. And I don't care to.
Just for Fun:

Have seen all of those. The bread we use the most has it stamped on the plastic bag.

disgruntled /ˌdisˈɡrən(t)ld/ (adj.): Angry, discontent. Grouchy, sullen, in a bad mood, resentful, incensed, outraged, indignant.
gruntled /ɡrən(t)ld / (adj.): Happy, content. Cheerful, chipper, in a good mood, generous, elated, ecstatic, pleased.
Hoping that what disgruntlements your day has in store are of the brief & fleeting kind. And yours! Have a gruntled day!
Today’s Question:
Does your fridge have a thermometer inside (that you can read) ? No, only the numbers 1 through 9.
Do you have a thermometer outside your home-if so, can you see it from indoors ? Yes. We have remote thermometers on each side of the house. I can see the temperature at the front and rear of the house from my PC desk.
Does your vehicle have a thermometer readout inside, on/around dashboard area ? In my old F150 there is only the gauge that reads the engine temperature and all it reads is C and H. My wife's minivan on the other hand has outside temperatures, gas mileages, directions, television controls and several other readouts that only a rocket scientist can understand.
