Other ? No mailboxes - though each service company (water, elec. cable/phone) has a guy that drives around and hand delivers - slips under door. Always wondered why they just don't do the PO delivery thing since each service provider makes sure I get my bills

Bonus Question:

RODENTS of any kind Had our adopted office cat bring in a baby mouse playing with it like it was a toy, batting it around the reception area and I was freaking out. That was one time my assistant told me "NO I will not deal with THAT, you have to"


Extra Credit Question:

We don't "spring ahead" where I live ? but my DS does so that means he'll only be 1 hour behind me now instead of 2

Just for Fun:

How many tries did it take for you to pass your drivers license test ? Well last one I took was like maybe 10 years ago and passed first time, albiet the teenager who gave me the driving portion tried to tell me my hands should be in a certain position, should use this foot for this, etc; told her I'd been driving since she was in first grade so . . . . Here I still drive on my CO license though should have by now gotten a PA one. The couple of times I've had to show it they've never said anything except they like the photo

Do you own a pair of earmuffs ? Thank God, no, not anymore.

How about "Fanny Packs", got any ? no.

Funny how many of us, myself included, are intimated when it comes to talking to others.

Can get up in front of class after class after class of HS students, or do a presentation to colleagues or even teachers from across the school system, but can be most uncomfortable if asked to speak in front of a group of total strangers. Likewise, in a social setting, I am generally extroverted, but if my husband takes me to an office party, I can clam-up quite readily.

Seems like I can let my hair* down once I am comfortable, and steady on my feet. Until then, I almost remind myself of the little one who sticks to Mama's leg like glue.


* There'll be much less to let down as I am getting a haircut, finally, this morning! Woo-hoo! I feel if I am going to go au naturale with the grey, I really need to keep it shorter, more stylish, and this ponytail isn't.

Our mailbox is right next to the front door.

You may find this surprising, I am not afraid to
have surgery, but when it comes to getting shots, I am a real weenie.

We'll change all the clocks forward tonight before going to bed.

For those of you that normally don't set the alarm on the weekends. Will you set the alarm tomorrow morning because of the time change so you won't be late for Church, breakfast etc?

We won't need to: our cat will do a fine job of waking us up in plenty of time to get ready for our convention planning meeting. He's probably the one who'll have the hardest time with springing forward, in fact, because he is such a creature of habit when it comes to mealtimes.

Just for Fun:

How many tries did it take for you to pass your drivers license test?


Just one.

Do you own a pair of earmuffs?

I have one set of the sort of low-profile kind, the type that goes around the back of your neck instead of over the top of your head.

How about "Fanny Packs", got any?

Oh, yes - that is my purse of choice on the weekend.

We have a rural mailbox, its at the edge of the driveway. So far, no one has hit it yet, lol!!
Im not afraid to play with electricity, but when it comes to heights, Im a big chicken-sissy.
We will be setting the clocks tonight sometime. I'll be at work and will set my watch sometime during my shift but my phone resets itself.
No fanny packs here, I do backpacks.
