Hey all, hope today can be a good day.

Today's Question(s):


Have you ever sent yourself a email or voice mail as a reminder to do something ?
Email.

Did it work ?
I usually remember something just cause I tried to, then I don't even need the email or whatever else I used.


Bonus Question:

Do you own a pocket knife ?
I used to for a lil while, but only cause I took it from someone who shouldn't have had one.

Last thing you used it for ?
Nothing, I wrapped it up and taped it up and hid it.

If so is it a simple one or one with all the fancy tools built in ?
I think it had a few tools in it.


Extra Credit Question:

Have you ever bought clothing only to get home and realize the security tag was not removed ?
Surprisingly no. But I did forget to remove some of the stickers sometimes, then I walked around school like that, a few times some random strangers were nice enough to tell me discreetly. It was still so embarrassing I wanted to die though. Like great, did everyone see me walking around with a sticker on my butt and not say anything?

Did you:

Remove it yourself ?
Take it back to the store ?
Realized the tag was there after having it on for a couple hours ?


Just for Fun:

What is your favorite kind of:
Potato Chip ?
Hard to pick, I like regular and sour cream and onion the most I think.
Bread ? No preference, I don't like bread in general.
Juice ? Hmm, no favorite I think. Apple and orange are ok, maybe cranberry apple.
Pie ? Polish apple pie.

Today in History:
2006 - Pluto is demoted to a 'dwarf planet' It's been like 4 years already? I was still in high school geez. You know, when I was lil they taught us Pluto was a planet, now all the kids are gonna think I'm old lol. As far as I'm concerned, there's still 9 planets.

Today's Question(s):

Yes and yes.

Bonus Question:
Do you own a pocket knife ?

If you read my post yesterday, you know the answer.
Last thing you used it for ?
I don't remember exactly. But I've done everything from cutting tape that won't tear by hand to spreading mustard on bread, after washing it that is.
If so is it a simple one or one with all the fancy tools built in ?
Possibly as a reflection on myself, I've only ever owned simple pocketknives. (Where's the durr icon?)

Just for Fun:
What is your favorite kind of:
Potato Chip ?

Pringles for potato specifically. Just chips in general? Hard to beat Doritos.
Bread ? Rye.
Juice ? Tomato.
Pie ? Chocolate or cherry.
