Don't anyone get their in a twist. Cuz here is . . .
Today's Random Questions:
What's your 2015 calendar theme(s)?
EarthJustice National Treasures
(came in the mail for free, along with an entreaty to donate).

It's full of pretty environmental photographs.

What are your favorite TV theme songs?
The ditty for "Nurse Jackie" is upbeat, bouncy, and catchy-that's a good one.
Third Watch-Keep Hope Alive by The Crystal Method, that one rocks.
The intro music to the UK crime drama "Vincent" was amazing, so smooth & subtle & moody.
Could go on & on...

Are there any rooms in your home that don't have windows?
Yes, bathroom.
January is Volunteer Blood Donor Month. What's your blood type?
O+

What do you listen to or hear while driving, walking or riding public transport?
I don't have a mobile personal listening device, so I hear whatever is going on around me.
In friend's car, it's her choice-radio station (music & ads) or a mix CD by her fave band (RHCP).

Foodie Questions:
What's your favorite flavor of Pop Tart or what flavor would you try?
Go ahead, be brave. ---> Pop-Tarts® | All Flavors
I'll never be brave when it comes to food.
Be that as it may...

When I've been in denial about how much I dislike Pop-Tarts,
I ate these two flavors:

Frosted brown sugar cinnamon
Frosted "Wildlicious" strawberry

Whether you consider it gross or can tolerate it reluctantly - of the typical toppings for each - what's your LEAST favorite topping for:
^Skipping it bc. I do not like most food & don't want to think about it.

Today's Quote:
"Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five."
~Benjamin Franklin, statesman, printer, professional smarty pants
^Have heard that one before, it's wise but also makes me laugh.

Today’s Word:
dux [duhks, DOO ks] noun, plural duces
British. the pupil who is academically first in a class or school
^Huh, new one on me.

Here's hoping your Thursday is just duckie!
Thanks for the good set of Qs, bjh.
Hoping everyone stays warm, it's 0 degrees here now.

Today's Random Questions:
What's your 2015 calendar theme(s)? Disney as that's the theme of the calendar my friend got me for Christmas.

What are your favorite TV theme songs? Greatest American Hero ... Believe it or not ... That song stands out for some reason.

Are there any rooms in your home that don't have windows? Just the hallway and kitchen.

January is Volunteer Blood Donor Month. What's your blood type? That's a good question ... I really should find that info out

What do you listen to or hear while driving, walking or riding public transport? I used to bring my iPod with me but my current bus line has an extremely noisy AC that's always running so I can no longer really enjoy my music as I used to ... I have thousands of songs on my iPod so it can range from 80-current pop or contemporary Christian music....

Burgers? Extra lettuce, Swiss cheese, mushrooms an
d teriyaki sauce
Hot dogs? Parmesan cheese, ketchup and relish ... Maybe a jalapeno or two
Ice cream? Bananas and fresh strawberries along with chocolate sprinkles
Nachos? Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese, jalapenos, beans, lettuce, tomatoes and sour creme
Pizza? Depends upon my mood ... Some days just basic pepperoni, cheese, bell peppers and olives .... Some days ham, jalapenos and pineapples and (when I'm at CPK California Pizza Kitchen) Pears, Gorgonzola, grilled onions and walnuts
Sandwiches? Depends on what kind of sandwich ... Usually I'll order the following on my subway - Provolone cheese, extra lettuce, extra bell peppers, extra olives, pickles, oil/vinegar, cilantro and jalapenos
Tacos? Let's say grilled fish tacos ... shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, cilantro and sour cream

What do you listen to or hear while driving, walking or riding public transport?
Driving: either the local news radio station, the oldies station, the classical station, the jazz station or the NPR station. At the holidays I listen to the pop station that plays all Christmas music.

Walklng or riding public transport:
Nothing. I like to be aware of my surroundings at all times when I am in public. There have been numerous thefts of smart phones in my city. Thieves take advantage of people who are distracted and yank the devices right out of their hands, then run. So I keep mine put away whenever I am out in public. I have an iPod Nano with an armband that I use to listen to music or radio when I am at the gym.
