Hello everyone and Happy 2015. I hope it is a good one for all of us

Thanks, me as well.

Today’s Questions
It’s the New Year so it’s time to do some clean up:

How many messages are in your inbox? - Too many

How many messages are in your sent box? - Ditto above.

Do you have any infractions? - Please don't get me started.

Do you remember what they were for? - I'll dodge that question and just say that I'm not allowed to give an opinion on that. Very sore spot as you can tell.

Extra Credit Questions:
Electric razor or razor blade? - Electric
Hair dryer or air dry? - Air
Bar soap or liquid soap? I have both
Eat healthy or exercise? - Both
Baseball or softball? - I played both on organized teams when I was younger.
Hot air balloon or Hang gliding? - Pass
Toothpaste or gel? - My favorite gel and toothpaste was discontinued by Arm & Hammer about 8 months ago. I am not happy.
Bifold or sliding door? Never heard "bifold."
Faucets with separate handles or one knob? - Separate.
Writing or painting? - I'd rather write.

Bonus Questions:
Did you have chores when you were young?

What did you have to do?

Did you get an allowance?

How much did you get?

Did the tooth fairy leave money under your pillow?

What crazy thing did you do to get rid of that loose tooth?

If I made a resolution that would be not to talk about my childhood. It gives me bad feelings. I'm going to try and cut way back on that.


Just For Fun:

Same thing here. Rereading them has caused some tears but I think I should take this opportunity to restate what I told some of you in IM's. Nancy never had a hobby or did anything for recreation.
