Good morning to all! TGIF! TGIF! TGIF!!!!


Today's Question(s):

What was the last thing that had you saying "I wish I had written that down" ?
DW's work schedule. It's been changing lately and she verbalizes it to me. But I have what she considers a "lack of retention" on stuff like. For some reason, she gets mad when I ask her "do you work today?"!!!

Bonus Question:

Which major event in History do you wish you had been able to witness in person ?
Brett Favre's first retirement. Nah, seriously, I think I'd like to have witnessed scenes from the Civil War and related events that shaped the country from that point in time.

Extra Credit Question:

"Whatcha" doing this weekend ?
Patriot Guard mission this weekend. Honoring those who stood for us!

Just for Fun:

For those that watched the R. Wedding
I reluctantly watched a small portion of it as I scanned the channels looking for my local news / weather.

What were some of the things stood out to you ?
Does it REALLY need to be on EVERY channel?

Today is:
National Shrimp Scampi Day Count me in!
World Tai Chi & Qigong Day
Sense of Smell Day
Rebuilding Day
National Zipper Day Because buttoning just takes too long!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Today's Question(s):

It's usually someone's name after being introduced so I'll go with that.


Bonus Question:

Well, if I could go back in a time machine and prevent it or get everyone out in time, as well as witness it, I would choose Sept 11 in NYC.

If I could just witness it...hmmm, document signing and speeches are not for me no matter how big they are. I suppose I might like to be with Neil Armstrong on the moon.


Extra Credit Question:

"Whatcha" doing this weekend ?


Driving about 656 miles.

Who is R?

Oh, the royal wedding. I haven't turned the TV on yet today but I like the coach ride in these fancy schmancy affairs because it reminds me of fairy tales. How did Harry look? I like Harry best of that bunch.

My mother's various passwords. Uhoh she's forgotten some important ones.

Bonus Question:

Which major event in History do you wish you had been able to witness in person ?

Nah, history's messy and historic events don't usually have comfortable places to sit. Or toilets. How about some ultra lavish event at a penthouse in NYC in the 1800s, where I can ponder the Brooklyn Bridge being built while I also ponder a perfect martini?


Extra Credit Question:

"Whatcha" doing this weekend ?


Gardening and hiking. And hiking, and gardening.

Didn't watch it.

Today's Question(s):

What was the last thing that had you saying "I wish I had written that down" ? Because of the nature of my job people are always asking me to do things. I take paper with me whenever I leave my classroom so I can write things down. I usually lose the paper, but for some reason if I write something down I can remember it.

Bonus Question:

Which major event in History do you wish you had been able to witness in person ? Have to think about this.


Extra Credit Question:

"Whatcha" doing this weekend ? We're working on cleaning my parent's house, going through things & deciding who is taking what. It's hard.

YaaaaaY Friday and I survived another week and traveled another day's journey

The questions are not working all that well for me this morning, so I will adapt just like I am doing with decaf coffee

I just don't remember some of the answers I have previously given, but I wish I had written a phone number down that I thought I would surely remember just the other day.

I didn't watch the wedding, but I will be looking for the high lights and replays.

even If you don't think you have anything, but love hand it out generously... and it will return to u Peace and tolerance
