Default A little quiz

Okay, I used my blow dryer yesterday in an unusual way. Can you guess the correct way? Read the options for my quiz!

I'll post the answer later today (after 4 or 5 pm).

P.S... If you are reading this after today, do the quiz, then look at the answer! Or not!

I’ve used the blow dryer on my shirt or pants to dry a small area when I’ve had to wash out a spot of food or drink that occurred.

Also I’ve used the blow dryer to dry an area of plaster when repairing drywall in the house. Some of the holes left from hanging pictures or cutting into the wall for other repair-work that was needed.

I used one not to long ago to help peel wallpaper trim off in the camper.

I think you defrosted a pizza!! I've used it for drying nail polish, and the insides of wet shoes, and too warm my feet, just because it was so handy.

I think you can use one to help lift off a postage stamp from an envelope.

Nail polish! I've used it on the grand daughter. She gets a bit antsy!

I didn't think frozen pizzas needed to be defrosted.

Thanks for that drywall tip beN! Maybe we'll see a bunch of good hairdryer tips on here! Pam can use it for a tip of the day

I guessed you blew off the nick nacks, seems like it would get too hot to blow up an air mattress, don't know about drying nail polish. I just use mine mainly to traumatize my cat (well I use it to dry my hair, traumatizing the cat is an unfortunate side effect).

Thank you all for playing along.

It isn't number 1, my shelves are still dusty! And no, I couldn't have blown up a airmattress, though I once tried because I had no air pump for the matteress. Does not fit the nozzle!

And I didn't dry my nails. So, that leaves defrosting the mini pizza! Yes, that is it!

I have to explain. My microwave is broke and I didn't want to wait to bake it. The day before I'd brought a pizza with me while out and was going to microwave it at my local convenience store. But the pizza defrosted while I worked and I was too hungry to wait (notice a pattern? ). I realized the crust is precooked, cheese is ready, even frozen! And sauce? It is sauce even if you don't cook it!

It took about 12 minutes! Opps. I could have cooked it! But cold pizza is still good pizza!Again, thanks for participating.

Two people guessed right! Taiga? And another smart CDer!
