Happy Monday July 17, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
Today’s Question:
Facebook and Youtube have “saved posts” or “watch later” features, question isn’t limited to those sites/examples though-
If you “save” articles, videos, etc. to read or watch at another time, do you remember to go back and read/look/listen to them eventually-
or does the list/queue keep growing ?
Extra Credit:
How often (or rarely) do you (maybe every day, maybe never)-
-say “I don’t know” ?
-apologize ?
-laugh ?
Bonus:
Have you ever removed the protective cover/housing (grill or grate) to clean off/dust/vacuum the rotating blades inside a box fan ?
Just for Fun:
Do you pronounce the first “r” in the word “February” ?
Does it confuse you that “Wednesday” is pronounced as if it were spelled “Wendsday” LOL ?
Can you think of another word whose spelling makes no sense with how it sounds ?

How often (or rarely) do you (maybe every day, maybe never)-
-say “I don’t know”? A lot. Mr. Bay thinks I know everything.

-laugh? Every day. It's my health plan.
Bonus:
Have you ever removed the protective cover/housing (grill or grate) to clean off/dust/vacuum the rotating blades inside a box fan ? I've never owned a box fan, so no.
Just for Fun:
Do you pronounce the first “r” in the word “February”? Just barely. I know it's supposed to be there.
Does it confuse you that “Wednesday” is pronounced as if it were spelled “Wendsday” LOL? When it comes to the English language, nothing surprises me.
Can you think of another word whose spelling makes no sense with how it sounds ? Jeopardy

-laugh ? All the time.
Bonus:
Have you ever removed the protective cover/housing (grill or grate) to clean off/dust/vacuum the rotating blades inside a box fan ? Don't recall, haven't had a box fan in over 30 years.
Just for Fun:

Does it confuse you that “Wednesday” is pronounced as if it were spelled “Wendsday” LOL ? D is always silent.
Can you think of another word whose spelling makes no sense with how it sounds ? Saguaro, which is pronounced saw-war-o.

If you “save” articles, videos, etc. to read or watch at another time, do you remember to go back and read/look/listen to them eventually-

Extra Credit:
How often (or rarely) do you (maybe every day, maybe never)-

-laugh ? Every day.
Bonus:
Have you ever removed the protective cover/housing (grill or grate) to clean off/dust/vacuum the rotating blades inside a box fan ? I don't have a box fan but I have a few electric fans that oscillate. On those, I will periodically clean the fan blades by removing the front grate/grill.

Does it confuse you that “Wednesday” is pronounced as if it were spelled “Wendsday” LOL ? Yes, I've wondered about that on occasion. Kind of like why is "knife" spelled with a K?

Today in History:
1955: Opening & dedication of Anaheim, California’s Disneyland theme/amusement park <--Been there, done that! Many times.
Yikes! I didn't realize it was well after midnight. I need to get to sleep. I have a tractor to deliver tomorrow and have to drive over 100 miles.

If you “save” articles, videos, etc. to read or watch at another time, do you remember to go back and read/look/listen to them eventually-
or does the list/queue keep growing ? I knew of the feature but have never used it.
Extra Credit:
How often (or rarely) do you (maybe every day, maybe never)-
-say “I don’t know” ? I don't say it too often but I think it very often.
-apologize ? I've never really had any problem apologizing. I just don't have the opportunity too often these days.
-laugh ? I probably cry more than I laugh these days. Actually I don't have much opportunity to speak to anyone here at the farm. Sometimes I don't see another human being for a week or more unless I happen to look outside when the postman passes.
Bonus:
Have you ever removed the protective cover/housing (grill or grate) to clean off/dust/vacuum the rotating blades inside a box fan ? We have two very old box fans here at the farm. I have at time removed the housings to clean them but, usually out here in arid west Texas and New Mexico, I simply take the entire fan outside, spray the dirty blades with a degreaser, wash the entire thing with the water hose, then allow it to dry in the sun.
Disclaimer: Do not try this in any place where swamp coolers are unknown.
Just for Fun:
Do you pronounce the first “r” in the word “February” ? I do. Is this wrong?
Does it confuse you that “Wednesday” is pronounced as if it were spelled “Wendsday” LOL ? No but it always seems odd when I write it out.
Can you think of another word whose spelling makes no sense with how it sounds ? The word you always sounds to me like you are calling someone a female sheep.
Today in History:
1955: Opening & dedication of Anaheim, California’s Disneyland theme/amusement park It's a great park!
1984: National legal drinking age in the U.S. changed to 21 years old, from 18 Except very appropriately in many military bases.
Thought for the Day:
“To hope is dangerous, and yet it is the opposite of fear, for to live is to risk.” - Rebecca Solnit It certainly does not seem to bode well for the human species when so many folks these days seem to fear any additional risks in their lives such that they are willing to surrender freedoms to achieve risk-free lives.
Sorry about my digression Cloven. Good questions though.

I had no idea that even existed. Extra Credit:

-say “I don’t know” ? Not often.

Thank you dear one. That's very sweet.
Poor John has to start his colonoscopy prep today. I feel bad for him.

If you “save” articles, videos, etc. to read or watch at another time, do you remember to go back and read/look/listen to them eventually-
or does the list/queue keep growing ? - Never used the "watch later" feature on YouTube but I know it's there. I've had an account with them since 2006, almost the very beginning.
N/A to Facebook.
Extra Credit:
How often (or rarely) do you (maybe every day, maybe never)-
-say “I don’t know” ?
-apologize ? - "On behalf of the company" or "their behalf," something like that. I don't have much human contact outside of work.
I don't get into too much controversial stuff on City-Data so I can't recall if I ever did that here. -laugh ? - Maybe an average of once or twice per day.
Bonus:
Have you ever removed the protective cover/housing (grill or grate) to clean off/dust/vacuum the rotating blades inside a box fan ? - No. It's been years since I used one.
Just for Fun:
Do you pronounce the first “r” in the word “February” ? - Nope Does it confuse you that “Wednesday” is pronounced as if it were spelled “Wendsday” LOL ? - No, just used to saying it.

Today’s Question:

If you “save” articles, videos, etc. to read or watch at another time, do you remember to go back and read/look/listen to them eventually-
or does the list/queue keep growing ? a little of both!
Extra Credit:
How often (or rarely) do you (maybe every day, maybe never)-
-say “I don’t know” ? sometimes because I don't know something "substantial" or that I think I should know for my job. Often, though, when someone asks simple stuff like "where's x?" Also often as a technique with kids or clients - to flip it back to them for problem solving or more info
-apologize ? i often do the stereotypical female "sorry" for everything - you know, like "oh sorry" just because I'm in the way when someone else walks through. Really need to stop that. Also say it fairly often because people divulge sad/difficult stuff to me. I wrote a note of apology to another car that I scraped yesterday Real apologies like that are rarer, though - not because I'm stubborn but because I'm pretty agreeable.
-laugh ? daily at home, work, and often just to myself (little giggle or snort if I see or read something funny
Bonus:
Have you ever removed the protective cover/housing (grill or grate) to clean off/dust/vacuum the rotating blades inside a box fan ? no but I've removed it to fix a blade or whatever and then maybe given it a quick dusting
Just for Fun:
Do you pronounce the first “r” in the word “February” ? yes lightly
Does it confuse you that “Wednesday” is pronounced as if it were spelled “Wendsday” LOL ? no but I know what you mean
Can you think of another word whose spelling makes no sense with how it sounds ? lots. One that I deal with regularly and makes these lists is colonel
