Greetings and welcome to the November 6, 2017 questions of the day- I’m posting from a tablet while away from home, usually I do this via desktop computer so please bear with me if there are typos Nope. Typos are unforgivable. None of us has ever made a typo in a post. Can’t get formatting, colors, underlining etc. right so this post is going to look odd... Not odd at all. You done good, cloven!
Today’s Question: Do you reuse containers (purchased in a store which initially contained different product) for food, drink, or other storage? Yes. I re-use plastic containers with lids. Ones that I don't re-use go in the recycling bin. 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)? Hahaha! No. That's funny.
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? I take them with. I count them out as I do my two Rx pills and put them in a daily pill box thingy. I always pack two extra days' worth, just in case there's a delay in getting home.
Extra Credit: Has a (wild) bird ever flown into your home? Yes; once that I recall. It was more than 20 years ago. Have you seen a bird flying around inside a place of business? Yes; many times. They're always in the big-box home improvement stores around here and I've seen them in Walmart a couple of times, near the entrance between the inside of the store and the outdoor part where they sell lawn equipment, plants and the like.
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? A couple of times I've purchased men's casual shirts because I liked the design (Hawaiian print). Do you have an article of clothing that you treasure & want to keep, but it needs repair (for example: a broken zipper)? Nothing big like that; just a few pairs of favorite socks with holes that I keep intending to darn and never get around to.
Today’s Word: warren /ˈwôrən,ˈwärən/ (n.): Network of interconnected rabbit holes or burrows, more broadly refers to mazelike construction in which one can get lost trying to navigate. That's an interesting word!
Today is: National Nachos Day Sounds good. Nacos and a beer for lunch! Saxophone Day I like sax music. -this month is- Historic Bridge Awareness Month I like visiting historic bridges. Indiana has a lot of historic wooden covered bridges. The central part of the state has a big Covered Bridge Festival every autumn which draws hundreds of thousands of people. National Memoir Writing Month I have nothing significant to write about. Stomach Cancer Awareness Month Tiff and Millet (two types of grain) Month Okay.....
Fun Q's and a beautiful puzzle today, Cloven! Have a good week, everybody!

Today’s Question:
Do you reuse containers (purchased in a store which initially contained different product) for food, drink, or other storage ? Yes. Not so much for food but other things. For example, I have re-used many Altoids tin cases to hold other things.

Extra Credit:
Has a (wild) bird ever flown into your home ? Nope. But, long ago, I was visiting this elder woman that had several birds, and she'd let them loose. When I got there she was frantic and I couldn't retrieve the flying birds any better than she could. When she started to get belligerent, I left.
Have you seen a bird flying around inside a place of business ? Mmmm... don't think so.
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 ? I have but long ago.

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 ? Yes, bc. the selection of colors, patterns, and sizes were more to my preference
(just bc. I'm a woman doesn't mean I only want items in pink or in a smaller size).
Do you have an article of clothing that you treasure & want to keep, but it needs repair (for example: a broken zipper) ? Yes, a few-alas.
Incl. leather & sheepskin jacket that once belonged to ancestor, had it for decades-
but too pricey to repair (and maybe too far gone, fragile) yet can't bear to part with it.
