Ok, I have to ask did anyone on here hit the Mega Millions last night?


Today's Question(s):


How often are you late for work?
Seldom I do not even hit a clock and am still on time.

One of the few good qualties i behold




What was the worst punishment you ever received as a child?
Oh- my in school I got a board for chewing gum....
In the 8th grade... Bit out of line I would say.

Literally the board had a bunch of holes in it.
Hurt like a mother.


Are you a morning person?

Ohhhhhh Yeaaaahhhhhh




Extra Credit Question:



With these large lottery jackpots, have you ever dreamed that you won?

Seems with half a billion we all have dreamed.
I about purchased a ticket and did not have the change.

So i did not.



What is something you
achieved lately that you are really proud of?
Painted our living room
Did our first grass mowing last wknd



What is the longest time you would wait for a table while you were dining out?


I normally walk right out the door if I have to wait.
But I waited for 20 minutes last fall.

Not one to savor a meal.
Eat , Dine , Dash....






Just for Fun:



Would you rather go without the internet or a car for a month?
Car



Would you rather have your flight delayed by 8 hours or lose your luggage?

Neither
Variable question, whats in the luggage




Lottery facts:

On the national average, lottery gamblers with household incomes under $10,000 dollars bet nearly 3 times as much on the
lottery as those with incomes over $50,000.

In Maryland, the poorest 1/3 of the population buys 60% of the daily numbers tickets

A California study revealed that 40% of lottery players are unemployed

A lottery ticket buyer is…
5 times more likely to be eaten by a shark
6,000 times more likely to be hit by a car
500,000 times more likely to die in an airline crash


No wonder I dont play, thank for reminding me the facts!

Im never ever late for work.
I never remember being punished as a child, guess I was the perfect angel. Actually, its strange, maybe it was just one of those things....
Probably the longest Ive ever had to wait for a table was about 30 minutes, when I lived in Calif, My daughter, her husband and kids, and I went to Chilis on a Saturday night. Seemed like it took forever!
Id rather have a flight delayed, and have, by 8 hours once at a layover in Houston, but now that theyre charging for luggage, I consolidate and carry a carry-on instead.

Today's Question(s):


How often are you late for work?

Never, as I don't have set hours.

What was the worst punishment you ever received as a child?

Whatever it was, I've long ago forgotten and forgiven.

Are you a morning person?

Yup

What is the longest time you would wait for a table while you were dining out?

If it's just us, maybe 20 minutes. When we're with friends and waiting time is social time, we've been known to wait an hour.

Just for Fun:

Would you rather go without the internet or a car for a month?

Internet.




[b]Would you rather have your flight delayed by 8 hours or lose your luggage?

If I have to make a connection or I have a limited time to make a trip and a lot I need to accomplish, lose the luggage. Otherwise, I'll take the flight delay.

Today's Question(s):


How often are you late for work? Work? No comprende.



What was the worst punishment you ever received as a child? Mouth washed out with soap. I earned it.



Are you a morning person? I used to be, but that seems to be changing. I just started a medication that might change it back!



Extra Credit Question:



With these large lottery jackpots, have you ever dreamed that you won? Uh, yeah.



What is something you
achieved lately that you are really proud of?

I had a client (I know, I know, I'm supposed to be retired) whose server crashed last Tuesday. A client who is a tax accountant for very rich people and companies. Not good. I had the basic data back to her Wednesday so she could work on her laptop and a new server in place with all data Thursday.


What is the longest time you would wait for a table while you were dining out? 40 minutes if I'm in a good mood. Much less if I'm not.


Just for Fun:



Would you rather go without the internet or a car for a month? Car




Would you rather have your flight delayed by 8 hours or lose your luggage? Delay. I'd get in my car and drive.
