Hey all. Yup, I haven't slept yet lol, this Summer's running out fast and I'm gonna use every minute of it.

Today’s Question(s):


Fill ‘er up! When you pull up to the pump, do you fill up with:

Regular gas?
Yup, also known as cheapest lol.
Mid-grade gas?
Premium gas? Maybe when I swing by with my solid gold car.
Diesel?
Other (biofuel, propane, recycled cooking oil)?
None of the above, I walk/bicycle/bus everywhere?
I actually walk alot, and I do take trains to far-ish places when I can. I have to drive alot though, especially to school.

Bonus Question:

When you go to work or school each day (or for our retirees, when you were in the workforce), do/did you:

Go home for lunch?
Way too far, if I could, I don't know if I would. It'd be depressing going home then having to back to class.
Pack a lunch from home? I'm thinking about it for this semester, I need to save money.
Eat at the school/office cafeteria? No, I hate the dining common food, I'm not old enough for the bar, Dunkin Donuts isn't lunch (it's breakfast and dinner lol, and I don't wanna get fat), and I don't care for the other restaurants on campus.
Graze from the vending machines? I never have any change or hard cash.
Go out to lunch at a restaurant? Yup, it's not an everyday thing, but I drive 10 minutes to Mcdonald's out in the town.
Go hungry?
I used to, for most of middle and high school.

Extra Credit Question:

Do you have a sewing machine?
Yeah, somewhere in the house, it's my grandma's.
Do you use your sewing machine for:
Sewing your own or a family member’s clothes?
She does.
Mending clothes? That too.
Quilting? Not that I think.
Embroidering? Yes.
Costuming? Making costumes, right? I don't think so.
A contemporary art sculpture and dust-collector? If I lived alone lol, I haven't used one since home ec in 7th and 8th grade.


Just for Fun:

Have you ever seen a major league baseball game in person?
Nope, not in person.
What teams played?
I was supposed to see the Red Sox one time.
Do you remember who won?
They probably lost right? Just kidding lol.

Today’s Question(s):

Fill ‘er up! When you pull up to the pump, do you fill up with:

Regular gas? Yeah...in my nice green truck I do.
Mid-grade gas? That must be for the undecided folks.
Premium gas? Yep...in my Nissan Maxima...it's required.
Diesel? "Peaches and Diesel", a good old Eric Clapton guitar piece.
Other (biofuel, propane, recycled cooking oil)? That's absurd.
None of the above, I walk/bicycle/bus everywhere? Nope.


Bonus Question:

When you go to work or school each day (or for our retirees, when you were in the workforce), do/did you:

Go home for lunch? Never ever.
Pack a lunch from home? Very often.
Eat at the school/office cafeteria? N/A
Graze from the vending machines? N/A and they don't have sod machines as far as I know.
Go out to lunch at a restaurant? Sometimes

What teams played?

Do you remember who won?
