I wear a man's watch and have for many years. I keep rebuying it. I'm sure I have had men's tee shirts before. They are usually ones with some photo on them like you would get in a souvenir shop while traveling. Have had boonie hats, too. Also, cheap rain ponchos for fishing.

Today’s Question:
Do you reuse containers (purchased in a store which initially contained different product) for food, drink, or other storage ? Have used glass containers as vases for wild flowers.

Wishing everybuggy good fortune, and here’s hoping that fate smiles upon you today. You as well, cloven. Thanks!
Eating over a sink, heck I'll eat anywhere, and often have to eat while driving, which I've mastered very well. Crumbs and sweepable and I'm not mental over one bitty crumb on a floor or seat.
I don't do vitamins or stuff like that.
Yes I've bought shirts that are more aimed for men, but also have a few that were given to me, from guys I work with, I prefer larger sizes shirts. Easier to move around.
Happy Monday.....😁

Today’s Question:
Do you reuse containers (purchased in a store which initially contained different product) for food, drink, or other storage ? No, but husband is a hoarder. He saves little plastic cups, snap containers that hold a slice of cake, and grocery store plastic bags. After a couple of days, I start throwing that stuff out, a little at a time so he doesn't notice. Even after that, I find tons of plastic bags stashed everywhere
Do you ever eat over the sink, to avoid making a mess (getting crumbs or spills on floor, or to avoid using a plate and then needing to clean it) ? Yes, but not for those reasons mentioned. We did that the other day! We were between business appointments, stopped at our office to check messages, then fixed peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.....eating them over the sink. Then we rushed out to more appointments.
Bonus:
When you travel, if you take (non-prescription) vitamins & supplements, do you bring them with you, leave them at home, and/or buy more while there ? Never a need to do that.

Has a (wild) bird ever flown into your home ? HERE'S A STORY: Yes. 2 years ago husband had a hip replacement. The evening he came home from the hospital, he was sitting in his recliner, and I was in mine, in the living room. Out of nowhere, a bat flew across our 10' ceiling round and round. "it's a bird....NO.....it's a bat" I said. I ran and got 2 brooms, one for husband to defend himself, and one for me. He sat in the recliner armed with his broom, not able to get up, walk or run, while I kept screaming and chasing the bat all over the first floor. I never saw a bat up close before then, and have been afraid of bird like things since I saw the movie "The Birds" but I quickly realized this was MY problem to solve, not my husband's. I propped open the front door, but he kept flying all over the house while I tried to swat or chase him out that front door. When he flew upstairs, I followed with my broom and a can of wasp spray, the first thing I could get my hands on. When I got to the top of the stairs, the bat was hanging over our bedroom door (bat man style). All I could think of was "rabies, rabies, rabies" and what if he flew at my husband??? I sprayed him with wasp spray, and he flew at me. Thankfully, I didn't fall backwards down the stairs. When he flew into the bathroom, I hurried and closed the door. After a minute or so, I crept in and he was hanging over the bathroom window. I sprayed him again, and........ he splashed into the open toilet! Quick thinking me (or dumb me) I closed the lid on the toilet for a minute. I peeked in, lifting the lid carefully, and he was lifeless, then started splashing around. Then, I made a quick decision...... I slammed the toilet seat down and flushed the toilet. He was gone. No clogs or slow flushing toilet because of that bat, to this day. I thought my husband was going to really be upset that I may have clogged up the toilet. But, he wasn't. (I always use the toilet on the first floor now! I just can't sit on that one upstairs) Moral of this story: You don't know how strong you can be, out of necessity.
Have you seen a bird flying around inside a place of business ? Yes, plenty of times in home improvement stores
Just for Fun:
Have you intentionally (knowingly) bought clothing that is aimed at/marketed for other gender bc. you just liked that item better-whether color/pattern, functionality, size, etc ? Men's socks! I wear black socks for my work, and the men's socks I buy don't get lint balls after one washing
Do you have an article of clothing that you treasure & want to keep, but it needs repair (for example: a broken zipper) ? No, if that happens, I get rid of it if I can't repair it
Thanks, Cloven! Hope none of you out there have that harrowing experience
