Good morning everyone
Happy Friday

Woo hoo !! Fall temps have arrived in NEFL we will be in the mid 60's with lows in the 40's for the next 3 days

It may be time to put away some of the summer clothes this weekend

Since I won't be doing the QOTD this weekend here is your "Fall Back" reminder

Don't forget to turn you clocks back on Saturday night before you go to bed

Now that the Public Service Announcement is taken care of lets answer


Today's Question(s):

With Thanksgiving 3 weeks away,have you made your "Turkey Day" plans yet ?

"Whatcha" doing ?


Extra Credit Question:

When is comes to "bill Paying" do you

Have set dates each month that they get paid ?
Pay them as they come in ?
Pay right before the Due Date ?
I have no idea someone else in the home pays them ?
Where the heck is the "Bill Pay Fairy" when you need them ?


Bonus Question:

I really dislike shopping for _______,but then I went shopping for _____ and that was even worse ?


Just for Fun:
In Honor of Post Office Day

How far from your home is the closest Post Office ?

When was the last time you visited ?

Do you ever go to one of those "shipping/mailing" stores instead ?



Today in History:
1639 - 1st post office in the colonies is set up in Massachusetts
1872 - Susan B. Anthony fined for trying to vote
1953 - Paul Searls saws a 32" log in 86.4 seconds
1946 - John F. Kennedy begins his political career he is elected to House of Representatives
1988 - The Beach Boys hit #1 in US with "Kokomo". They set two music-chart records with this event. It was the longest span of #1 hits (24 years, 4 months since "I Get Around") and the longest gap between #1 hits (21 years, 10 months since "Good Vibrations").


Word of the Day:
saccade \ sa-KAHD \ , noun;
1. The movement of the eye when it makes a sudden change, as in reading.
2. The act of checking a horse quickly with a single strong pull of the reins.

Today is:
Sweet Potato Day
Electric Shaver Day

LOL it's time to turn the clocks back. Doesn't mean quite so much since I retired and put away my watch. When someone asks the time, my answer is simple: It's always time for nutella!

Almost everything is automatically handled by the computer these days. With other bills, w decide what day to pay them when they come in, mark it on the envelope, and file them away. I pay them throughout the month.
