Good morning everyone and welcome to Questions of the Day for Tuesday, September 16th 2014. Lots of messing about in the backyard this week – cleaning up leaves, pulling weeds and dusting off the patio furniture. We’re having perfect spring weather and the heater can safely be put away for the next nine months – yay! The downside is that I’m sneezing 300 times a day!


Today’s question:

Do you have any allergies? If yes, what are you allergic to?


Extra credit question:

Have you ever …

Had a sauna?

Plunged into an icy pool in mid-winter?

Bathed in natural hot springs (mineral/thermal pools etc)?

Ridden a water slide?

Splashed in/around a waterfall?


Bonus question:

When paying bills, do you usually do so when they come in (one at a time) or do you save them up for a bit and pay several at the same time?


Just for fun:

Today is Wrinkled Raincoat Day! Do you own a raincoat?

Is it wrinkled?


Thought for the day:

History never looks like history when you are living through it. (John W. Gardner)


Today is
:

Anne Bradstreet Day

International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer
Mayflower Day
Mexican Independence Day
National Cinnamon Raison Day
National Collect Rocks Day
National Play-Doh Day
National Stay Away From Seattle Day
Stepfamily Day

Today’s question:

Do you have any allergies? If yes, what are you allergic to? I have some pollen allergies although I'm not really sure which ones, birch I think, and definitely mugwort (can't even touch it). No food allergies (I have Coeliac Disease but that's not technically an allergy)


Extra credit question:

Have you ever …

Had a sauna? Yup - in the past 7 years, in all the various homes I've lived in, I've only lived one year without my own personal sauna

Plunged into an icy pool in mid-winter? Yes - love going for a dip in an ice hole. Although its colder to swim in the water in Spring than in mid-winter - swam in Spring once when the water was 1C!

Bathed in natural hot springs (mineral/thermal pools etc)? No. Would love to though.

Ridden a water slide? Yes

Splashed in/around a waterfall? Yes


Bonus question:

When paying bills, do you usually do so when they come in (one at a time) or do you save them up for a bit and pay several at the same time? I usually wait and pay a bunch at once, which usually means some of them end up being late


Just for fun:

Today is Wrinkled Raincoat Day! Do you own a raincoat? Yes

Is it wrinkled? Nope

You are sneezing (which of past tense be 'snoze'), because you have horribly ended the happy lives of innocent weeds!
Pizza questions coming on Fryday!


Today’s question:

Do you have any allergies? If yes, what are you allergic to?

Yep. I don't tell what they are because I saw what happened to Superman.

Extra credit question:

Have you ever …

Had a sauna?

Plunged into an icy pool in mid-winter?

Bathed in natural hot springs (mineral/thermal pools etc)?

Ridden a water slide?

Splashed in/around a waterfall?

Not really, but my sauna and hot tub stories are steamy.


Bonus question:

When paying bills, do you usually do so when they come in (one at a time) or do you save them up for a bit and pay several at the same time?

Pay before due date to avoid late fees.


Just for fun:

Today is Wrinkled Raincoat Day! Do you own a raincoat?

Is it wrinkled?

Nope. I don't need protection from beautiful rain. Simple shelter is enough.
I might like a raincoat, though. Sounds like a fun thing!

Thank you, Kobber...sorry about the pizza questions that are coming on Fryday but you asked for it this time. Especially because there's not enough questions here in your Tuesday questions gig. And you didn't say anything to us at the end. You're in big trouble!
HappyWishes for you and all our friends, and to the happy weeds, too!

Today’s question:

Do you have any allergies? If yes, what are you allergic to?
I never knew that you could develop allergies. Never had any until a few years ago. Haven't been tested, so not sure what it is specifically, but am glad I haven't had any until now. Two of my grandchildren have allergies..... itchy eyes and perpetually runny noses during certain times of the year.

Extra credit question:

Have you ever …

Had a sauna? Yes, love saunas.

Plunged into an icy pool in mid-winter? No, but have rolled around in the snow.

Bathed in natural hot springs (mineral/thermal pools etc)? No, but sounds nice.

Ridden a water slide? Haven't

Splashed in/around a waterfall? Haven't, but have waded through many streams.


Bonus question:

When paying bills, do you usually do so when they come in (one at a time) or do you save them up for a bit and pay several at the same time? Usually one at a time.


Just for fun:

Today is Wrinkled Raincoat Day! Do you own a raincoat? As with a hood & all? No, though I could use one today.

Happy Tuesday, all!
