Today's Question(s):

Do any of our QOTD family avoid doing anything in particular on a Friday the 13th ? I avoid having surgery.

Have you ever had any "que the Twilight Zone music" weird,strange or funny things happen on a Friday the 13th ? Ohhhhh yeah. I had to have surgery done, yep, on Friday the 13th. I was on a gurney in the hallway (freezing) for a looooong time. I couldn't imagine why it was taking so long. My doctor finally came around and said that the power had gone out, the generator came on but there was a problem with water.....huh? We kind of laughed and blamed it on the 13th...finally, after the initial ordeal, (and I was a nervous wreck going into surgery) I was told they removed 13 lymph nodes. Eerie.

Bonus Question:

Have you ever tried or gotten into a car that looks like your but wasn't ? Yep

lol where there ever any other people in said car ? lol...yes

If you park next to the same type of car especially if it is the same model & color and the other driver was there would you say "hey look we have the same car" or something along that line ? No

Inquiring Minds Question:
In honor of eyeglass day

Do you wear glasses or contacts ? Both

Are they for:
Faraway ?
Close up ?
Both ?

For those that need both do you have
No-line or progressive lenses ?
Lined lenses ?

How many have prescription sunglasses ? Nah

Extra Credit Question:

If you see something expensive, have you or a family member ever used any of the below phrases

That's Dear ?
That's Pricey ?
They sure are proud of that ?
Holy Crap are they nuts ?
Do they think money grows on trees ?

Just for Fun:

Are any of our QOTD family left handed ? No

Is anyone in your immediate family left handed ? Yes, one of my sisters and the only one. She was a rebel though. Back in the day the teachers used to crack our knuckles with a ruler if we tried to write with our left hand. I've heard that can mess a kid up.

Last time you took a Taxi ? Last February.

It's National Filet Mignon Day and also Trail Mix Day. Hmmmm.... let me get out the old telescope and see which one I'm celebrating.

There's got to be some money laying around somewhere out there....

Rats, I looked up, down and even spied under my neighbor's couch. All I spotted was $2.47. Looks like I'm buying trail mix for dinner, no filet mignon today!

Today's Question(s):

Do any of our QOTD family avoid doing anything in particular on a Friday the 13th ? Nope. Fri. the 13th is good for me. Now, Thursday the 12th is another matter.


Have you ever had any "que the Twilight Zone music" weird,strange or funny things happen on a Friday the 13th ? Not that I recall.


Bonus Question:

Have you ever tried or gotten into a car that looks like your but wasn't ? Oh, yeh. several times.

lol where there ever any other people in said car ? Once, years ago, my hubby at the time was picking me up at work. I got out, walked over to the car, got inside, said hi, turned to give him a kiss to find a face I'd never seen before and 2 little kids in the back seat. Poor guy was a bit surprised, to say the least. Not too long ago, I went to the post office, came out, got into the car, put the key in the ignition and it wouldn't start. Took me several tries before I noticed the following: The ignition was in the wrong place, there were things hanging from the rearview mirror, stuff on the passenger seat that hadn't been before, and stuff in between the seats. I realized it wasn't even the right make of car! Luckily, the owner did not come out while I was trying to figure out this mystery.

If you park next to the same type of car especially if it is the same model & color and the other driver was there would you say "hey look we have the same car" or something along that line ? Not usually.


Inquiring Minds Question:
In honor of eyeglass day

Do you wear glasses or contacts ? Reading glasses only - have had Lasik surgery.

Are they for:
Faraway ?
Close up ? yep
Both ?

For those that need both do you have
No-line or progressive lenses ?
Lined lenses ?

How many have prescription sunglasses ? I used to.


Extra Credit Question:

If you see something expensive, have you or a family member ever used any of the below phrases

That's Dear ?
That's Pricey ?
They sure are proud of that ?
Holy Crap are they nuts ? usually this one
Do they think money grows on trees ?


Just for Fun:

Are any of our QOTD family left handed ? No, but I can do more with my left hand than most righties.

Is anyone in your immediate family left handed ? nope


Last time you took a Taxi ? I honestly don't remember.

Hello!!!


Do any of our QOTD family avoid doing anything in particular on a Friday the 13th ? Is it Friday the 13th, lol?


Have you ever had any "que the Twilight Zone music" weird,strange or funny things happen on a Friday the 13th ? No....and I'm not superstitious.



Have you ever tried or gotten into a car that looks like your but wasn't ? I have walked to cars that looked like mine but I realized it before I got in.



If you park next to the same type of car especially if it is the same model & color and the other driver was there would you say "hey look we have the same car" or something along that line ? No but a lot of Jeep owners wave to me on the road...it's the same with RV owners. We all do a little wave. It's corny but there you have it. People like to feel like they belong I guess.



Do you wear glasses or contacts ? I have glasses but I rarely wear them.
Are they for:
Faraway ?
Close up ?
Both ?

For those that need both do you have Just the basic single lens and I need a new pair...you know...for when I don't wear them, lol.
No-line or progressive lenses ?
Lined lenses ?

How many have prescription sunglasses ? I would like those since I am supposed to wear my glasses when I drive




If you see something expensive, have you or a family member ever used any of the below phrases

That's Dear ? No
That's Pricey ?No
They sure are proud of that ? No
Holy Crap are they nuts ? Usually it's more like..."that's insane"
Do they think money grows on trees ? I have said that in the past...now if I could just find the seeds for money trees...I would share with everyone

A lot of times I am happy if they can afford it but if they can't afford it or have debt than I think they are "silly"(being nice here, lol) for buying it.


Are any of our QOTD family left handed ? No

Is anyone in your immediate family left handed ? Not mine..but my stepdaughter is.

Last time you took a Taxi ? About 5 years ago and OMG it was an experience from low life hell....sorry. It was really bad and I bailed on my hubby as he was paying. Oh wait there was one time after that in NY from the airport. It stunk like cigarettes.

National Filet Mignon Day
Trail Mix Day
International Left Handers Day
Taxicab Day
Eyeglasses Day

Have a great weekend!!!

Nope. I'm not superstitious about Friday the 13th

Well, I was born on Friday the 13th. Is that weird, strange or funny?


Bonus Question:

Have you ever tried or gotten into a car that looks like your's but wasn't ?

Almost. Walked right up to the same car, clicked the remote thingie and nothing happened. Clicked it a few more times, then peered inside, realised it wasn't my car. Slinked away all embarrassed.

lol where there ever any other people in said car ? Thankfully not!

If you park next to the same type of car especially if it is the same model & color and the other driver was there would you say "hey look we have the same car" or something along that line ?

Yeah, or "you've got great taste in cars", or something like that.


Inquiring Minds Question:

Both ?

Extra Credit Question:

If you see something expensive, have you or a family member ever used any of the below phrases

That's Dear ? Yes, the word "dear" is used often here in Oz for "expensive". I think it's of British origin. I never said that when I lived in Canada.
That's Pricey ? Yes.
They sure are proud of that ? Never said that but it's funny.
Holy Crap are they nuts ? That's something DH would say. Loudly.
Do they think money grows on trees ? Yes.
