Good morning everyone
Happy Friday
It is another brisk morning here in NE FL I had to turn the heat on to get the chill out of the house.
One of the effects of the brisk temperatures is that the "kids" seem to be "energized" and are bouncing all over the place, the same with the dog I "babysit" for he was just just full of energy yesterday and at 95 #'s that's a lot of bouncing around.
So Today is Friday the 13th so of course I have to ask in one of
Today's Question(s):

Extra Credit Question:
This is something a friend and I were discussing, so lets see what you all think
If you caught someone in a "fib" would you

Do any of our QOTD family have any weird,strange or funny Friday the 13th stories to share ? Not that I can think of but will look forward to some of yours
At the time hiring those stinky contractors sounded like a good idea, but boy did I rethink it the next day
If you caught someone in a "fib" would you I've done all the below, plus some. Really depends on the situation, who else is involved, and my mood LOL
Call them on it ?
Say nothing ?
Say nothing but be more cautious with them in the future ?
In honor of "Guinness World Record Day"
What fun stuff would you like to try to setting a new record for ? Hmmm...not sure I have enough stick-to-it-iveness to break any records
So, Karla, what kind of seeds did you get? And did you get enough potting soil for all the kids in the class?
Today's Question(s):

I don't. I'm not superstitious, and I've never found that Friday the 13th is characterized by anything unusual.
Bonus Question:
At the timeplanting bulbs in the front garden bedsounded like a good idea, but boy did I rethink it the next day.

It really depends on the person and the situation. Sometimes my spouse has been known to "polish" a story a bit to make it more interesting or amusing, and when that happens, I just let him have his fun. If the fib involves something important or critical, I'm a lot likelier to call the person on it, or, if it's someone I really can't confront, they go on my list of people not to ever trust or believe.

Do any of our QOTD family have any weird,strange or funny Friday the 13th stories to share ? Actually Friday the 13th has always been a good day for me...weird I know
Bonus Question:
At the time having a roommate sounded like a good idea, but boy did I rethink it the next day ?

wow you all have been busy
I finished this then posted todays exercise thread and already there are 5 posts
holding my spot !!
Happy Anniversary Nomad !!!!! What time should we show up for cake !!!
ok so as you will soon understand I am not ready to get moving around the house so I am going to sit right here and answer
Today's Question(s):
Do any of our QOTD family have any weird,strange or funny Friday the 13th stories to share ?
Friday the 13th and I have had some "issues" in the past
Let see
a car accident
blew out the transmission on another car
opps another car on car experience
So as much as I know in my brain that these are just coincidental I tend to stay pretty close to home on this day
no thats not why I don't want to move around the house that's up next
Bonus Question:
At the time the 2 ideas I had yesterdays sounded like a good idea, but boy did I rethink it this morning
For those that visit the daily exercise thread know that we all been on a major motivation exercise push
So I have been spending a lot more time one on one with my elliptical. For some strange reason after about 15 mins my toes get tingly so yesterday I had the "brilliant" idea to try using it just wearing socks and no sneaker
yeah that worked well this morning my arches are so sore I am sorta doing the walking on my toes
Yesterday afternoon we had to meet at school so we could move the 6 40# hydroponic bins from one side of the school grounds to the other so they would be closer to the classrooms that we teach in. As we were moving the first bin on a hand truck I spied a nice flatbed in the janitor closet !! I asked if we could borrow it. Well lol lets do the math 4 x's 40 = 160#'s no problem the flat bed has wheels. However pulling a flatbed with 160#'s up 3 inclines then though soft sandy dirt to their new home not as good of an idea as I thought. This morning my neck & shoulders are not "speaking to me"
So needless to say lol I am a mess today so hence the happy to just sit at my desk
Extra Credit Question:
This is something a friend and I were discussing, so lets see what you all think
If you caught someone in a "fib" would you
Call them on it ? Depends on the level of the fib and my spunkiness level at the time
Say nothing ? If it is really serious I would do this because I probably wouldn't have much to do with them anymore. Say nothing but be more cautious with them in the future ?
Little harmless fibs are not that much of a big deal you know the ones like " that was delicious" or It's not how I much I like your new outfit or hairstyle as long as you do"
I have a real issues with lies, I have often said if your gonna tell me one it better be well constructed so I don't ever find out.

I am getting there , I have 3 packages of lettuce seed that I found in my seed box. lol I am still trying to figure out why I bought them because I don;t eat lettuce
I am going to Home Depot with my MIL tomorrow to help her pick out a birthday present for hubby so I will pin the post it note to myself to remember to get the radish seed and dirt
