Today's Question(s);
In honor of "Letter Carrier's Food Drive Day !!!"

Is your Post Office collecting food today ?


Oh, yes; in fact, the Post Office Credit Union had a big food drive in their parking lot today as well.

Will you be leaving a bag for them ?

Of course!

Extra Credit Question:

Any fun & exciting plans for the day ?


Hmm, well, the day will start with breakfast at our favorite little diner, followed by a stroll through the Dane County Farmers' Market around the Capitol Square downtown. Then I'll go into the office for a few hours of work on entity financial statements while the spouse mows the lawn. And in the evening, our daughter and her boyfriend have invited us over for supper at their little apartment about 15 miles away.

Bonus Question:

When was the last time you had a milkshake ?


Lordy, I can't remember; it's been decades, certainly.

What is your favorite flavor milkshake ?

I like chocolate just about anything, so probably chocolate.

Just for Fun:

Iced Tea or Iced Coffee ?
Iced tea for me, please
Which Artificial Sweetener do you use ? Blech, ick, yuck, gag, ptuee! Um, to be more polite, I don't care for any artificial sweetener, thank you.
Have you ever taken the tags off your mattress or pillows ? Of course! I'm the consumer, after all, and they are only permitted to be removed by the consumer.
How many "unmatched" socks are there in your home ? None in my sock drawer - I throw oddballs away rather than give them drawer space. The spouse's drawer, on the other hand, probably has more onesies than pairs.
What fresh fruit is in your home right now ? Apples, oranges and tomatoes (botanically speaking, tomatoes are berries, so I classify them as a fruit).

I am really getting excited we have sold 135 tickets !!!

I have been off CD for a couple of weeks with various projects... Are you doing some sort of fundraiser? I am doing the Relay for Life and I have to sell 20 tickets to our dinner, I can't imagine selling 135!! But it sounds like it is some sort of auction. I wonder if we can do an auction next year instead of a dinner....


In honor of "Letter Carrier's Food Drive Day !!!"

Is your Post Office collecting food today ?
Yes
Will you be leaving a bag for them ?
I will try to remember now that you have reminded me. Thanks! I am just not sure where to leave the food in a rural area like I am in now. Growing up I was in the city, the mail slot was right on our steps, now my mail box is down at the end of the driveway, so am I supposed to leave the bag down there or on the porch?

Extra Credit Question:


Any fun & exciting plans for the day ?
Cub scout car wash/can drive, maybe take the kids to the movies.
Bonus Question:

When was the last time you had a milkshake ?
About a month or two ago. I severely limit my access to milk shakes as i love them so much I can suck one down in probably under a minute, Lol!!!
What is your favorite flavor milkshake ?
You mean there are flavors other than chocolate? (Chocolate is my favorite)
Just for Fun:

Iced Tea or Iced Coffee ? Mostly Iced Tea
Which Artificial Sweetener do you use ? The new one, Truvia or something like that.
Have you ever taken the tags off your mattress or pillows ? Yes off the pillows but not off the mattress.
How many "unmatched" socks are there in your home ? Right now my son is leading the pack with about 13 socks with no matches, DD w/about 8, DH w/about 5 and me w/about 3 so total, OMG, almost 30! Ridiculous! Boy, I've got to weed some out.
What fresh fruit is in your home right now ? Bananas (well if you'd call them fresh, more like headed for a banana bread), strawberries, and apples, lemons as well.

Wow lots of great questions Karla, missed the QOTD lately!!!!!
