Good Sunday morning to all my QOTD buddies! It finally feels a bit like spring in South-Central Wisconsin this weekend, so much so that MRBookworm fired up his brand-new new smoker and made a to-die-for smoked pork shoulder for supper Saturday night. Mmmmm…. I think that is rapidly going to become a weekend tradition, and a mighty tasty one it is, too.
We’re in for a rainy Sunday here, so it’ll be an indoors kind of a day. I’ve got the work laptop and a whole stack of paperwork to get through anyway, so it’s just as well the day isn’t predicted to be a gorgeous one; I’d never be able to force myself to stay inside working on spreadsheets if the sun was shining outside.
But before I go dive into spreadsheets again, let’s spend a bit of time chatting about:
Today’s Question(s):
How many of our QOTD family are golfers?
For those who golf, what’s the best score you’ve ever gotten?
Have you got any funny golfing stories that you’d like to share?
Bonus Question:
How long would it take you to find a safety pin in your home?
What’s the most unusual way you’ve ever used a safety pin?
Extra Credit Question:
For those of you for whom April is in the springtime, are there any leaves or flowers on the trees in your neighborhood?
For the QOTD folks in the southern hemisphere, have the leaves fallen from the trees in your neighborhood?
Just for Fun:
When was the last time you spent a day just playing, doing what you most love doing in the world?
Care to tell us about it? (Remember, please, this is a PG forum!)

Bonus Question:
How long would it take you to find a safety pin in your home? Zero seconds, I can see one right here on the desk.
What’s the most unusual way you’ve ever used a safety pin? I've used them from time to time to hold a part of a curtain to the loops on the curtain track when I can't find a proper hook thingy

When was the last time you spent a day just playing, doing what you most love doing in the world? Today, yesterday, the day before... LOL, well I wasn't doing what I love most in the world, but was just playing and doing what I felt like. What I love most in the world is travelling. Last trip I took was in November (just a quick few days in NZ); before that was June/July (to England, France and USA).
Good Sunday morning to all my QOTD buddies! Bonus Question:
Good morning to you, too!
How long would it take you to find a safety pin in your home?

Today’s Question(s): How many of our QOTD family are golfers? I don't know how many are, but I am not. For those who golf, what’s the best score you’ve ever gotten? I golfed one time in my life. I was up to about 150, I think, when it got dark and we had to stop playing. LOL! Have you got any funny golfing stories that you’d like to share? See above!
Bonus Question: How long would it take you to find a safety pin in your home? About 10 seconds. What’s the most unusual way you’ve ever used a safety pin? I used one today to temporary repair a broken necklace. It felt scratchy and annoying on the back of my neck, but it lasted through the day and no one could tell that my pretty necklace was actually held together with a safety pin.
Extra Credit Question: For those of you for whom April is in the springtime, are there any leaves or flowers on the trees in your neighborhood? Yes. In my neighborhood the daffodils and hyacinths are blooming; early-spring tulips are budding. Forsythias are just starting to bloom. Trees are still bare. It'll be a few weeks before our trees start to green up. For the QOTD folks in the southern hemisphere, have the leaves fallen from the trees in your neighborhood?
Just for Fun: When was the last time you spent a day just playing, doing what you most love doing in the world? A very, very long time. Care to tell us about it? (Remember, please, this is a PG forum!) For me, a day camping and hiking in the woods would be heaven on earth. Smelling fresh air, observing wildlife in its natural habitat, listening to the sounds of the forest, enjoying the free birdie symphony. Now THAT's living!

For those who golf, what’s the best score you’ve ever gotten? Looks like I have to skip this question
Have you got any funny golfing stories that you’d like to share?
When I used to work airport maint in Washington, there was a golf course next to the airport. One day this guy was trying to teach his wife/SO/friend/or whoever how to golf. She kept missing the ball or hitting it off the course. He looked like he would have rather been doing just about anything else besides trying to teach her how to golf.
Bonus Question:
How long would it take you to find a safety pin in your home?
Two days and one minute. Two days to fly home from Europe and one minute to locate the safety pin.
What’s the most unusual way you’ve ever used a safety pin?
Nothing I can think of. I must lead a very boring life.
Extra Credit Question:
For those of you for whom April is in the springtime, are there any leaves or flowers on the trees in your neighborhood?
Hard to say. Have not been home since it has warmed up. I am guessing the leaves are starting to come out. Where I am at there are not many trees.
For the QOTD folks in the southern hemisphere, have the leaves fallen from the trees in your neighborhood?
I was in the Southern hemisphere 2 days ago. It was about 90 degrees out. No sign of any leaves falling where I was at.

It has been about a year.

When I was working out of Baltimore, once in a while when I would not have any flights for a couple of days, I would hop in the car and just head out without any destination in mind. Sometimes it was just a day trip. Other times I would spend the night before heading back to Baltimore.
How many of our QOTD family are golfers? Does it matter if theres a windmill on the course and you only get a putter and colored Balls?

Probably about 5 minutes. We don't have a lot of them, but I do know where the token 3 pins are kept.
