[quote=rainroosty;49945397]~ 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 don't know.

~ Hey? What do you have that you can plug in; but not into an electrical outlet inside your house?

A GPS in the cigarette lighter in my car.
~ What in the tarnation does HICKORY DICKORY DOCK mean?

Oh lordy mice. I caught two the other night and discovered them in my humane mouse trap at one in the morning. I didn't want them to suffer in that cold trap so I took them to a small patch of woods far from the house. This very nice police officer wanted to know what I was doing on that small stretch of road that late at night. He was very nice and said he was concerned that I may have had car trouble. He was pretty nice looking too
~ Are there any doors or windows in your home that surely will allow for some cold air drafts starting this time of year?
Well yeah., They're 107 years old. We're making interior storm windows for upstairs and I'm putting weather seal around the doors.

~ You WIN a FREE Road Atlas! What region would you like it to cover?
Nova Scotia.

~ 2 things that you would like to find on the beach while on a long walk at the surf's edge:
A diamond ring with a big rock and some gold coins.

~ Spout out some TV chefs here---->

Dead or alive?
~ 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 like the orange bulbs I have in them now.
~ That latest commercial brought to us by _Kraft. I've been craving mac and cheese for days. ________________.


~ Have you considered eating any pizza in the last couple of weeks?

Yes, but I'll wait for Halloween.
~ What if any heat source have you got at your home and is that okay by you?
Forced air and yes. It's toasty in here.

~ Ever eat or drink food fare that you may associate with New Orleans?

MMMMM Gumbo.

Buckets of stuff that you would like to have in buckets for you when you do receive buckets of something from somewhere or someone.




Thanks roosty!

~ 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 think there actually was one. However, I've never seen one.


~ Hey? What do you have that you can plug in; but not into an electrical outlet inside your house? Plugs for trailer lights and brakes.


~ What in the tarnation does HICKORY DICKORY DOCK mean? It's just words with the right number of syllables that rhymes 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? Yes. And thanks for reminding me to put the electric blanket on the bed tonight. We expect our first freezing temperatures tonight.


~ You WIN a FREE Road Atlas! What region would you like it to cover? You can make it the U.S. I'm not leaving the States any more.


~ 2 things that you would like to find on the beach while on a long walk at the surf's edge: An old sea chest with gold bullion inside and a crowbar to open it.


~ Spout out some TV chefs here----> Julia Childs and Justin Wilson are the only two I know.


~ 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!) If it's free, install a strip over my desk.

~ That latest commercial brought to us by __Google______________.


~ Have you considered eating any pizza in the last couple of weeks? Unfortunately I had a frozen pizza last week.


~ What if any heat source have you got at your home and is that okay by you? We have central heating units at both our city house and here at the farm. The one in the city is fired by natural gas and the one here at the farm is fired by propane.

I'm very happy with the natural gas heating but propane here is as high as diesel fuel per gallon so, to the sadness of our local propane dealer, we only use propane to fire our water heater. Our primary heat at the farm comes mostly from two pellet stoves, one of which is running right now.

.
~ Ever eat or drink food fare that you may associate with New Orleans? I just ate a ham & cheese sub sandwich which reminded me of a New Orleans Poboy but only after I saw this question.

Buckets of stuff that you would like to have in buckets for you when you do receive buckets of something from somewhere or someone. If we're gonna talk about New Orleans food, I'll take a large bucket of fresh medium shrimp or fresh "crawfish" will also work.



Thanks for the memories Roosty.

My headphones plug in to my smartphone.

It's called poetry.

The bathroom window faces the ocean, and we get a lot of cool breezes year-round except on the hottest summer days.

~ You WIN a FREE Road Atlas! What region would you like it to cover?

A lighting upgrade would do wonders for my house. Bring it on!

I had some vegetarian pizza last night for dinner and the leftovers were tonight's dinner.

It's a gravity furnace (sometimes called an octopus furnace), it's as old as the house (54 years), and it works very well.

I have eaten jambalaya and Cajun catfish. Never had a beignet, though. That's on my bucket list.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.
