Today’s Question:
Where you live, are there places which will close on July 4th (this Tues.) but are open on Mon. ? - Yes, where I work and the Federal Government. I'm looking forward to a light traffic day today. My understanding many used their own leave and took a 4 day weekend which was not an option for me.
Where you live, are there places which are closed for both July 3rd & 4th (Mon. & Tues.) ? - I imagine there are a few but none that I'm aware of...
Extra Credit:
What’s the last thing you drank or ate that you disliked, but you consumed it anyway-because otherwise it would go to waste ? - I don't remember. I'm sure it's happened and if so it's been many years...
Have you had a food or drink item on hand which you didn’t want/need/use-that you were able to give away to someone else who did like it ? - Nope, I buy for me only. I'm fairly set here and I would not have anyone I could give it to if it ever did happen.
Bonus:
During the summer, are there chores you wait until evening (or very early in morning) to do, when temps. are cooler ? - It would only be inside my air conditioned apartment. I do it when I can and when needed.
Edit to add - I forgot about the dreaded laundry. It's such a hassle as there are no facilities in my building. Saturday in the middle of the day I hauled it to a laundromat. Heat index was about 100 degrees. Not pleasant but it got done. I beat a very bad storm by about 5 minutes so it could have been worse.
During the winter, are there chores you do which help you warm up against the cold temperatures ? N/A, I have more than adequate heat if / when needed. Often it's too hot as the heat is controlled by the management of this building. A good portion of the winter it stays off.
Just for Fun:
Can you think of something (for instance: a tv series, music, a book) you wish had ended sooner, been shorter, that you think could’ve done with more editing ? - Last year - a job interview I was misled to apply. Sat through a boring presentation I wasn't told about. I was not interested at all.
Today’s Question:
Where you live, are there places which will close on July 4th (this Tues.) but are open on Mon. ?
Where you live, are there places which are closed for both July 3rd & 4th (Mon. & Tues.) ? Everything will be open for the 3rd. Banks/Post Office will be closed on the 4th. I am thinking most other places will be open on the 4th.
Extra Credit:
What’s the last thing you drank or ate that you disliked, but you consumed it anyway-because otherwise it would go to waste ? I am not a consume anyway girl. If I don't like it I won't eat/drink it.

Bonus:
During the summer, are there chores you wait until evening (or very early in morning) to do, when temps. are cooler ? Yes, I water the flowers when it is cooler. If it is my day off I try to do my errands in the morning.
During the winter, are there chores you do which help you warm up against the cold temperatures ? Any chore that will get me moving.

Can you think of something (for instance: a tv series, music, a book) you wish had ended sooner, been shorter, that you think could’ve done with more editing ? I enjoy Orange is the New Black--but I think they are running out of ideas.

Last thing I accidently drank and nearly gagged was fountain diet coke. We were at Wendy's yesterday and their pop machine had digital push button things that....well... long story but I hit the diet button, not thinking straight, and when I took a sip, eeeew, had to toss it and refill with the real Coke Classic.
Yes, I gave away some chocolate once. Someone tried to trick me with that fake sugar chocolate and I tasted a piece, gave the rest away. Don't try to trick a chocoholic!
In the summer I try to wash my jeep in the not so extreme heat. Winter, well, where I live we don't really get 'cold' so.....
Thanks for the questions, happy Monday!
Today’s Question:
Where you live, are there places which will close on July 4th (this Tues.) but are open on Mon. ? My bank Probably the USPS and a variety of stores and businesses.
Where you live, are there places which are closed for both July 3rd & 4th (Mon. & Tues.) ? I don't know of any
Extra Credit:
What’s the last thing you drank or ate that you disliked, but you consumed it anyway-because otherwise it would go to waste ? I don't eat it or drink it if I don't like it.
Have you had a food or drink item on hand which you didn’t want/need/use-that you were able to give away to someone else who did like it ? Just gave some eggs to my Dad, I got from a client who was going on vacay.
Bonus:
During the summer, are there chores you wait until evening (or very early in morning) to do, when temps. are cooler ? If I pull weeds I do it in the morning.

Happy Monday July 3, everybody-and welcome to QOTD. Thank you, Cloven!
Today’s Question:
Where you live, are there places which will close on July 4th (this Tues.) but are open on Mon. ? Stores and government are open today, Monday.
Where you live, are there places which are closed for both July 3rd & 4th (Mon. & Tues.) ?Don't think so.

What’s the last thing you drank or ate that you disliked, but you consumed it anyway-because otherwise it would go to waste ? I just had a second cup of hot coffee. I didn't want it, but I'm drinking it because my husband always makes the coffee. He fixed it for me, and I'm drinking it so I don't hurt his feelings.
Have you had a food or drink item on hand which you didn’t want/need/use-that you were able to give away to someone else who did like it ?No
Bonus:
During the summer, are there chores you wait until evening (or very early in morning) to do, when temps. are cooler ? Still waiting for a cool spell so I can mow the lawn. In the morning there's too much dew on the grass, and when that's gone it's too hot. Hoping to mow the grass tonight after visiting with the kids.....but may have to wait until tomorrow morning, dew or not.
During the winter, are there chores you do which help you warm up against the cold temperatures ?Don't know about chores, but I work outside in all kinds of weather. I'm just focused on getting the job done.

Can you think of something (for instance: a tv series, music, a book) you wish had ended sooner, been shorter, that you think could’ve done with more editing ? I've tried to look at some documentaries on t.v.
a few times, but lose interest quickly. Everyone, enjoy your day!
Today’s Question:
Where you live, are there places which will close on July 4th (this Tues.) but are open on Mon. ?
Maybe government offices. Not sure what the post office is doing this week. Weird to have
the holiday itself fall on Tuesday. At least that gives a really long weekend to some people who want or need it.
Where you live, are there places which are closed for both July 3rd & 4th (Mon. & Tues.) ?
Other than government offices, I'm not really sure. I would think a lot of people will be
looking for something to do or somewhere to go on Monday or Tuesday, if they have an office
job. Seems like stores would want to be open, 4th of July sales and all that, to cash in on the moola they might spend.

Last bite of my pumpkin pie slice. Life is hard.
Have you had a food or drink item on hand which you didn’t want/need/use
-that you were able to give away to someone else who did like it ?
Yes, for instance, I once gave the rest of my food to a traveling companion when the trip was over.
Bonus:
During the summer, are there chores you wait until evening (or very early in morning) to do, when temps. are cooler ?
Anything outdoors.
During the winter, are there chores you do which help you warm up against the cold temperatures ? Not really. I love winter. We don't get tons of ice and snow, and that's partially why. Just for Fun:
Can you think of something (for instance: a tv series, music, a book) you wish had ended sooner, been shorter, that you think could’ve done with more editing ?
I may have to duck and run after saying this, but how about Downton Abbey? Or most British drama for that matter.

Don't know to both.

What’s the last thing you drank or ate that you disliked, but you consumed it anyway-because otherwise it would go to waste ? I don't do that.
Have you had a food or drink item on hand which you didn’t want/need/use-that you were able to give away to someone else who did like it ?
Yes. That often happens when mixtures of things are sold together like cereal 8 packs and you don't like one of the cereals. Another would be bags of candy, when you pick out, for example, all of the dark chocolate and give those away.
Bonus:
During the summer, are there chores you wait until evening (or very early in morning) to do, when temps. are cooler ? No. Have air conditioning and live in an apartment complex so no outside chores.
During the winter, are there chores you do which help you warm up against the cold temperatures ? No.
Just for Fun:
Can you think of something (for instance: a tv series, music, a book) you wish had ended sooner, been shorter, that you think could’ve done with more editing ?
Yes. When watching any multi-year TV show, they should end it as soon as the lead characters get married or have a baby. It seems to be a sign of desperation by the writers that they are fresh out of ideas. The X-Files immediately comes to mind, followed by Bones and Friends.
