Happy check-writing Karla, and happy birthday to G-G's Emily!

Today's Question(s):

inspired by Stripes17 answer and M Mikes answer to Stripes answer on yesterdays QOTD

Do you regularly use your Blinkers (turn signals) when making turns ?
Always - except when I'm turning into my own driveway when there's no other traffic in the street (which is almost always).

How about when changing lanes ?
Always - even when there's no other traffic around (it's such an ingrained habit).


Bonus Question:

LOL I would eat "rice & beans" for a week just so I can
have a date with Hugh Jackman"

Extra Credit Question:

lol when was the last time you were "annoying" on purpose ?
I try hard not to be annoying on purpose!

Inquiring Minds Question

Last time you saw a "speed trap" in your area ?
A few weeks ago, driving back from my daughter's place, there was a policeman with a radar gun on the freeway. He chose a silly time to be there, though, because there was so much traffic, no one was going above 30mph!

Was there a sudden "sea of red taillights" in front of you ?
Yes, but not because of the policeman!

lol was yours one of them ?
My tail-lights are never in front of me!!!


Just for Fun:

I would only last a day or 2 if I worked at
1.
a chocolate factory
2.
an antique store
3.
a book store

lol Not because you couldn't do the work but because you enjoyed being there so much no work got done

Happy Friday to all.

Happy Friday, Karla & friends! This is a week I am glad to be nearly done with; it's been a rough one.

Today's Question(s):
inspired by Stripes17 answer and M Mikes answer to Stripes answer on yesterdays QOTD

Do you regularly use your Blinkers (turn signals) when making turns?


Always - one of my most frequent gripes when I'm driving is about other drivers who don't use their turn signals.

How about when changing lanes?

Always on the expressway, usually on surface roads. If I'm the only car for miles around, I don't bother.

Have you ever forgotten to turn it off and driven a while with it blinking?

Not that I am aware of.

Bonus Question:

LOL I would eat "rice & beans" for a week just so I can
afford a vacation.

The funny thing about that question, for me at least, is the fact that I actually like rice and beans, and we try to include at least one or two meals each week like that!

Extra Credit Question:

lol when was the last time you were "annoying" on purpose?


Oh, that would have been at the final Concert on the Square earlier this month. The concert always opens with broadcast announcements, asking concert-goers not to talk during the music, not to walk in front of the stage during the performance, and it always includes an injunction to refrain from activities that annoy your neighbors. And that is always my cue to poke my spouse in the ribs, just to be annoying. He, of course, retaliates in kind, usually to the amusement of others around us.

Inquiring Minds Question

Last time you saw a "speed trap" in your area?


That happens regularly around here. There was one out on the main drag into town from the Interstate just earlier this week.

Was there a sudden "sea of red taillights" in front of you?

No.

lol was yours one of them?

Nope, I don't speed. Especially on my way to work!

Just for Fun:

I would only last a day or 2 if I worked at
1.
Quality control inspector at Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier
2. Quality control inspector at Great Dane Brewery
3. Quality control inspector at Hook's Cheese

lol Not because you couldn't do the work but because you enjoyed being there so much no work got done
