[quote=cloven;38078660]Happy Monday January 19, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.

Today’s Question:
Do you use a mouse-if so, does it have a cord or not ?............It has a cord.
Do you use a keyboard-if so, does it have a cord or not ?........Nope it's a lap top.
Do you use a trackpad or touchscreen interface ?....................
Only on the smart phone. I'm loving it, but I will love it more when I totally master it.
Have you ever had something spill on any of the above ?.....

Extra Credit:
Do you have a bathrobe ? If so, do you use it regularly ?
It's around here some where and no.
How recently have you worn boots, of any sort ? ...Every day. Last Saturday night I walked the dogs trying to get rid of the over consumption and I had a pair of boots on that gave me blisters on the bottom of both feet. I'm taking the girls roller skating this afternoon. That should be interesting.
If you wear boots, are they easy or difficult to put on & take off ?
All three pair are easy enough to put on and take off.
Bonus:
Do you eat frozen yogurt ? .....Yes and yum.
If so, do you eat out at a yogurt shop (single serving),
or buy in store to take home (larger container) ?
It's at a shop but John brings home frozen yogurt every time he goes grocery shopping. He has this ice cream monkey on his back.
How often do you eat soup?.....Maybe a few times a month.
If you consume soup, is it mostly:
canned ?
powder/dry mix ?
bullion cube ?
ramen (cup-or loose noodles) ?
or “made from scratch” ?

Just for Fun:
Do you read/post in the location-based C-D forum section(s),
for where you live (continent, country, state, city) ?
Rarely.

Thanks Cloven. I'll need that fortitude today. I only slept about 4 hours and I have another high octane day planned. I've been having so much fun lately it's hard to think about going back to work.

^Thanks for confirming.
Of course I don't want to be a bad influence, distracting folks from important tasks.

It's a point of honor for me, that the maze is guaranteed to have a working solution/route.
Using a photocopy, I solve each maze the moment I finish creating it,
to make sure it truly does have a solution (and only one)-before letting anyone see it.
