Good Morning

Today's Question(s):
What's the first website or type of website you usually visit when you get online each day?
Normally Facebook, but this week I have been quite interested in checking the coronavirus.jhu.edu every morning--actually several times a day. I like comparing the numbers and focusing on the recovered cases.

Do you wear a wristwatch, or have any favorite or sentimental watch(es), whether you wear or not? I do wear a wristwatch. I used to have many--it got tiresome replacing batteries, so now I just have one.

Ever known of or been in a family who didn't like someone's choice of spouse, and if so, can you tell us anything about it? One of my cousins--her siblings have an issue with her spouse. He is a bit of a know it all.

Foodie/Beverage Question(s):
When it comes to mixed nuts I skip the Brazil nuts and hazelnuts. Any you toss or save for others?
I am not picky--wouldn't toss any.
I especially like almonds and pecans. Any you especially like? Cashews, pistachios

Blankety-Blanks:

"They don't make board games like they used to."

"I felt really cool (as in socially well-received) when I headed to Zurich for a couple of days by myself ."

"I have never been to Greenland, but I'd like to go."

Happy Wednesday--is this craziness over yet?

Twitter, even though I hate Twitter. I have all the news feeds that I follow in one place to get quickly informed. Especially helpful at a time like now when news is coming in so fast.

Do you wear a wristwatch, or have any favorite or sentimental watch(es), whether you wear or not?

I hadn’t been wearing one until several months ago when I found my old Gucci watch from high school. Hardly worn, looks practically new, classic look, no tacky labels. I took it to a jeweler and had a battery put in and I love it.

Ever known of or been in a family who didn't like someone's choice of spouse, and if so, can you tell us anything about it?

Not really.

Foodie/Beverage Question(s):
When it comes to mixed nuts I skip the Brazil nuts and hazelnuts. Any you toss or save for others?


I don’t usually skip any.

I especially like almonds and pecans. Any you especially like?

Almonds.


Blankety-Blanks:

"They don't make appliances like they used to."

My grandma’s appliances lasted decades. Mine start falling apart after three years.

"I felt really cool (as in socially well-received) when I _________________________ ."

I never feel cool.

"I have never been to Japan but I'd like to go."

check emails. sometimes I even get some.

I have one that was given to me when I retired. Needs a battery now but not sure where to find one locally. The one I went to closed.


Ever known of or been in a family who didn't like someone's choice of spouse, and if so, can you tell us anything about it?


yes. Kind of ironic but my parents liked my sister's 1st husband. Marriage lasted maybe 5 yrs. They didn't care for her 2nd husband and that marriage lasted over 30 yrs until he died. Go figure.
