Today's Question(s):

What would be the reason you might of been heard saying

What the heck was I thinking, when I signed up for an Aikido Class in which I found myself being tossed about like a sack of potatoes? I am still in the class though and it's actually a lot of fun now that I have learned how to land on my head properly...

on the flip side

Moving to Denver! I really love this city.


Bonus Question:

If you have Computer " issues"

Do you
Fix it yourself ? Not if I want it to work.
Call a friend or family member ? Yep, wife is an IT expert.
Turn it off, then back on, hoping the problem goes away ? This actually works sometimes with Microsoft software for some reason.
Call in the experts ? Only after exhausting all other options, including picking up a good book instead...

Extra Credit Question:

What is the "dustiest" place in your home right now ?

Definitely the unfinished areas of the basement.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Today's Question(s):
What the heck was I thinking, when I ___went to water exercises and the weight room instead of going to the doctor when the stool fell on my foot______. Finally got it x-rayed Thursday and my little toe is broken. I have it secured with an ace bandage this morning and it feels so much better. It feels as snug as a bug in the rug. A big improvement!

on the flip side

What made you say

Well, that was the best idea I have had in a long time!! Too good and too personal to share.


Bonus Question:

If you have Computer " issues"

Do you
I call the expert that lives with me and he tells me to turn it off and then on again and it usually fixes itself. He is the one that has crashed it twice. LOL

Good morning everyone! Whew, rough day yesterday - wasn't home long enough to answer Friday's questions!

Today's Question(s):

Well, that was the best idea I have had in a long time! Good grief, I don't feel like I've had a good idea in ages!

If you have computer "issues" - I can fix a lot of it myself, some of it my daughter's BF fixes (he has a degree in Computer Science or Engineering or something and is a genius!) and ocassionally I call the manufacturer. Sometimes all it requires IS unplugging, restarting and replugging!

What is the "dustiest" place in your home right now? Under any bed!

Eat a Peach Day - that sounds good
National Punctuation Day - . , ? !
National Tooth Fairy Day - she doesn't come here anymore
Hug your Boss Day - I AM the boss! Hug me!
National Be an Angel Day - that's going to be difficult!
