COLOR=DarkRed][b]Happy Monday May 8, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
Today’s Question:
It’s mid-spring in the northeast U.S., a time of weather transition...warmer than winter & colder than summer.
If you live someplace that necessitates different outerwear based on time of year,
have you switched seasonal clothing yet (put some garb away & dug other garments out) ? It's still too cold for this time of the year. Should be warmer by now. I'm wearing my winter clothes but not my winter coat anymore. You still have to wear some sort of jacket outside.
Extra Credit:
What, if anything, is under your bed-do you store anything there ? I have a couple storage boxes under the bed with shoes, purses traveling odds and ends in them.
If you have a couch, is there room underneath (between the bottom and the floor) to stow/store anything (other than dustbunnies LOL) ? No
Do you have a couch or chair roomy enough & comfy enough for you to fall asleep on/in ? Yes
Bonus:
Have you ever slept…
-on a train, plane, or bus ? No
-in a bed/mattress that was flat on the floor, without a bed frame/platform ? No
-in a sleeping bag ? Yes. When I was a kid
-on a blanket on the ground, or atop a towel on the sand ? No
-in a hammock ? No
-in a bunk bed ? if so, did it have a ladder ? No
Just for Fun:
If you’ve received a package in the mail, did it contain (as protective cushioning)
“bagged air”, packing peanuts/styrofoam, bubble wrap, or another kind of safety measure ? Yes to all
If so, once your items were removed, what did you do with the left over shock-absorbing materials ? Popped the bubble wrap. I throw away that stuff.

Today’s Question:
It’s mid-spring in the northeast U.S., a time of weather transition...warmer than winter & colder than summer.
If you live someplace that necessitates different outerwear based on time of year,
have you switched seasonal clothing yet (put some garb away & dug other garments out) ? Our winters here are usually mild and I'm hot-natured so I don't really have winter clothes, the only change I make really is wearing enclosed shoes and putting away the flip-flops for a couple of months
Extra Credit:
What, if anything, is under your bed-do you store anything there ? Yes, I have limited storage so I have to use underneath the bed some things, mostly old electronics that I need to do something with and my gun
If you have a couch, is there room underneath (between the bottom and the floor) to stow/store anything (other than dustbunnies LOL) ? Yeah there is room but I don't normally put anything underneath the sofa
Do you have a couch or chair roomy enough & comfy enough for you to fall asleep on/in ? Actually what I'm using right now is a Futon, it is extremely uncomfortable to sit or lay on unless it's pulled out as a bed. I'm trying to order a new sofa but I'm having trouble with it,
there's a glitch in the delivery service part so can't order it just yet- working with the vendor to get it straightened out
Bonus:
Have you ever slept…
-on a train, plane, or bus ? No I normally can't fall asleep on anything that's moving
-in a bed/mattress that was flat on the floor, without a bed frame/platform ? Yes many times
-in a sleeping bag ? Yes but it was very uncomfortable
-on a blanket on the ground, or atop a towel on the sand ? nope
-in a hammock ? yes
-in a bunk bed ? if so, did it have a ladder ? not that I remember
Just for Fun:
If you’ve received a package in the mail, did it contain (as protective cushioning)
“bagged air”, packing peanuts/styrofoam, bubble wrap, or another kind of safety measure ? the last one I received had the plastic bagged air
If so, once your items were removed, what did you do with the left over shock-absorbing materials ? I popped the bags and put it in the trash

Today’s Question:
It’s mid-spring in the northeast U.S., a time of weather transition...warmer than winter & colder than summer.
If you live someplace that necessitates different outerwear based on time of year,
have you switched seasonal clothing yet (put some garb away & dug other garments out) ?
Yes, put away the sweaters & sweatshirt, winter boots & jackets (and hats & gloves)-
but we've only had a mere few days warm enough to merit tank top or shorts.
Extra Credit:
What, if anything, is under your bed-do you store anything there ?
There's less than a foot of clearance beneath bed.
I use the space to store a few small boxes & bins for infrequently needed-and "extras" of-things.
If you have a couch, is there room underneath (between the bottom and the floor) to stow/store anything (other than dustbunnies LOL) ?
The narrow space is just barely tall enough for me to store vacuum cleaner hose (detaches from rest of the machine) underneath,
without having to bunch or coil it up (and cram it into a cabinet). It's right there, easy to reach, when I set up the vacuum.
Do you have a couch or chair roomy enough & comfy enough for you to fall asleep on/in ?
Couch, yes-chair, not quite.
That's bc. I tested many couches for size & comfort before buying this one-while the chair is item I inherited rather than selected.
Bonus:
Have you ever slept…
-on a train, plane, or bus ?
Not on a train, but on a plane & on a bus (not an in-town/city bus, but on a cross-country trip that took a few days)
-in a bed/mattress that was flat on the floor, without a bed frame/platform ?
Yes-had done so for many years, off & on
-in a sleeping bag ?
-on a blanket on the ground, or atop a towel on the sand ?
-in a hammock ?
Not sure, don't think so-but as a kid, I loved spending hours in hammock
-in a bunk bed ? if so, did it have a ladder ?
No, N/A
Just for Fun:
If you’ve received a package in the mail, did it contain (as protective cushioning)
“bagged air”, packing peanuts/styrofoam, bubble wrap, or another kind of safety measure ?
Yep.
If so, once your items were removed, what did you do with the left over shock-absorbing materials ? Rarely order items, so issue doesn't come up much.
Plastic air pillows seem easier to dispose of than styrofoam peanuts.
I tend to save bubble wrap, lest I ever find myself in need of it again.

Never cared for them either.
