~ Do you think there ever was made: a mechanical typewriter keyboard that was designed for music composers, so they could type out their sheet music? I'm guessing yes; but I'm not certain.

~ Hey? Hey! What do you have that you can plug in; but not into an electrical outlet inside your house? A portable GPS that I can plug into a port in my car. (Although I no longer use it, since my current car came with its own GPS.)

~ What in the tarnation does HICKORY DICKORY DOCK mean? Hahaha. I have no idea! A hickory dock would be a dock made out of hickory wood. But dickory? Haha, I don't know!

~ Are there any doors or windows in your home that surely will allow for some cold air drafts starting this time of year? Yes; every one of them. My house has 18 windows and none completely block air from coming in. *sigh* (Yes, I've tried the

~ You WIN a FREE Road Atlas! What region would you like it to cover? Ideally, all of the U.S. and Canada. If I only get one region, I'll take the western states such as CO, WY, MT, ID. I'd love to take a long road trip sometime and see more of the U.S. It's on my bucket list for retirement years.

~ 2 things that you would like to find on the beach while on a long walk at the surf's edge: A stone that's been smoothed and has an interesting shape from its long journey; a pretty shell.

~ Spout out some TV chefs here----> Gordon Ramsey; Julia Child; Jacques Pepin; Ming Tsai; Lidia Bostianich. Those are some of my favorites. (I don't like Gordon Ramsey on most shows, but he's great on Master Chef.)

~ Are you content with the ambient lighting where you hang out most in your home or would you think it might benefit you to have a FREE non-intrusive ambient light strip (oh my - it is beautiful! <--her or him when first lays eyes upon it)...'to have the love-light in your lives" once again! (FREE installation at your convenience!) Sure, the light strip sounds nice. I don't like bright lights, since they're not flattering and they hurt my eyes.

~ That latest commercial brought to us by Chevrolet. I hate those commercials they've been showing ad nauseam lately.

~ Have you considered eating any pizza in the last couple of weeks? Considered, yes. Caved and had some, not yet.

~ What if any heat source have you got at your home and is that okay by you? I have a gas forced-air furnace which has been on the fritz all week. Furnace guy is awaiting a part - a new electronics board - to install and get my furnace up and running again. Wouldn't you know, we are having near-record low temps this week. I'm presently using two electric radiators to heat opposite ends of the house. They're working well and it's not so bad, but I'm anxious to get the furnace fixed and get back to my normal life routine. It's been a real pain in the butt dealing with this all week.

~ Ever eat or drink food fare that you may associate with New Orleans? Occasionally. I love jambalaya, and I think that's popular in New Orleans. I also love meats with Cajun spices, as long as they're not too terribly hot.

Buckets of stuff that you would like to have in buckets for you when you do receive buckets of something from somewhere or someone. Okay, I've tried to make sense of this - to no avail.


Thanks for the fun fill-ins, roosty! Have a happy Fryday, everybody!

Afternoon all!

~ Do you think there ever was made: a mechanical typewriter keyboard that was designed for music composers, so they could type out their sheet music?
I believe that there was, but couldn't say for sure without looking it up. Maybe I dreamed it.

~ Hey? What do you have that you can plug in; but not into an electrical outlet inside your house?
I have many things that I can plug in to my computer; ear buds, external CD player, my camera, etc.

~ What in the tarnation does HICKORY DICKORY DOCK mean?
Again, without looking it up, I'm not sure. I always thought it was just supposed to be something silly to rhyme with "the mouse ran up the clock."

~ Are there any doors or windows in your home that surely will allow for some cold air drafts starting this time of year?
Shouldn't be. We had new windows put in when President Obama offered some kind of tax incentive for certain home improvements.

~ You WIN a FREE Road Atlas! What region would you like it to cover?
The Canadian Maritimes, and Newfoundland!

~ 2 things that you would like to find on the beach while on a long walk at the surf's edge:
Two lovely rocks will be just fine.

~ Spout out some TV chefs here---->
I don't generally watch TV cooking shows, so I'm not familiar with the names of the chefs.

~ Are you content with the ambient lighting where you hang out most in your home or would you think it might benefit you to have a FREE non-intrusive ambient light strip (oh my - it is beautiful! <--her or him when first lays eyes upon it)...'to have the love-light in your lives" once again! (FREE installation at your convenience!)
I'm pretty content with what we have.

~ That latest commercial brought to us by _Gritty Kitty cat litter_.

~ Have you considered eating any pizza in the last couple of weeks?
I consider eating pizza every day! Luckily for my waistline, I am not the only person who eats in this house. We generally only have pizza every or every other Sunday evening.

~ What if any heat source have you got at your home and is that okay by you?
Forced air gas heat in the whole house, and a wood burning fireplace downstairs in the rec room. Both are fine by me. There's a trade-off for everything.

~ Ever eat or drink food fare that you may associate with New Orleans?
Not really, no.

Buckets of stuff that you would like to have in buckets for you when you do receive buckets of something from somewhere or someone.
Well, cash, sure. How 'bout puppies!

Thanx for the fun Qs rainroosty!
Have a good and safe weekend everyone!
