Nothing remarkable today. Weather is as to be expected for this time of year, and everyone here is happy and healthy!
Let's get right to the questions.
Today's Question(s): If you leave your house for any reason, when you get home, do you change out of your "outside" clothes and put on more comfy clothes, such as sweats? If so, how soon after you get home do you change?
Bonus Question(s): What is something (food, fun, anything) that is characteristic of your country or local region, or that it is known for?
Just for Fun: Are you old enough to remember the first time The Beatles appeared on television? If so, did you watch?

Today's Question(s): If you leave your house for any reason, when you get home, do you change out of your "outside" clothes and put on more comfy clothes, such as sweats? If so, how soon after you get home do you change?
Immediately. I change into sweats and wool socks. Warm, comfy clothes.
Bonus Question(s): What is something (food, fun, anything) that is characteristic of your country or local region, or that it is known for?
We are known for the best fried chicken. And jumbo pork tenderloins. Our state park is also in our area.
Just for Fun: Are you old enough to remember the first time The Beatles appeared on television? If so, did you watch?
I think I was 4 or 5, I do remember them being on TV and my parents making remarks about how long their hair was.
Unless I just got home from work and get out of my uniform, I wear the same thing all day.
Local region, I've heard it said as the dust bowl, rattlesnake country, among other terms, but to me, it's a desert. I've never heard of fry bread till coming here, it's a popular snack on the reservation. Never tried it....yet.
Happy Wednesday everyone ~~~

I only change my cloth after a party,a workout,a trip but I remember as a child I had to change my school cloth as soon as I came home and I remember on Sundays we had to dress up for "Kaffeeklatsch" when the grandparents came.

Quote of the Day:
"Doing nothing is very hard to do ... you never know when you're finished." ~ Leslie Nielsen ~ ...god one
As soon as I get back home from wherever, I change into my house uniform....... sweatshirt, shorts, and slippers!
I do remember the first time I saw the Beatles on television. It was 1963 on a local tv station. This station covered the north west of England which included Liverpool, and where I live. This is a clip from that show from August 1963......
Today's Question(s):
If you leave your house for any reason, when you get home, do you change out of your "outside" clothes and put on more comfy clothes, such as sweats? If so, how soon after you get home do you change?
No, I'm retired. All my clothes are comfy.
Bonus Question(s):
What is something (food, fun, anything) that is characteristic of your country or local region, or that it is known for?
Country - baseball State - music (see our TN state quarter) "Three stars represent Tennessee's three regions and the instruments symbolize each region's distinct musical style. The fiddle represents the Appalachian music of east Tennessee, the trumpet stands for the blues of west Tennessee for which Memphis is famous, and the guitar is for central Tennessee, home to Nashville, the capital of country music." (We also have Elvis and Sun Records in the West for rock and roll)
Just for Fun:
Are you old enough to remember the first time The Beatles appeared on television? If so, did you watch?
On American TV, yes I am and yes I did. I was 12. On the Official Ed Sullivan website it says 73 million people watched it.
"On their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, the Beatles played five songs in two sets. The first set included All My Loving, Till There Was You, and She Loves You. Later in the second half of the show, the Beatles played I Saw Her Standing There, and I Want To Hold Your Hand."
Today's Question(s): If you leave your house for any reason, when you get home, do you change out of your "outside" clothes and put on more comfy clothes, such as sweats? If so, how soon after you get home do you change?
no I don't. in fact, I wear the cloths I wear all day to bed too. I know some are shocked but I got that way from working the overnight shift. I would come home at 8 30 in the morning and fall into bed as is. Just stuck with me.
Bonus Question(s): What is something (food, fun, anything) that is characteristic of your country or local region, or that it is known for?
Corn??? RDLR would probably know for sure.
Oh I know........muskrat. I know someone that traps them and freezes them. He says you never tasted anything like it. Just out of this world.

Today's Question(s): If you leave your house for any reason, when you get home, do you change out of your "outside" clothes and put on more comfy clothes, such as sweats? Sometimes, but it depends on my plans for the evening. If I need to hit the treadmill or do housework or yard work, I'll put on workout clothes. If I have to go out for a meeting or something, I stay dressed in the clothes I wear to the office or church or wherever I've been previously. If so, how soon after you get home do you change? If I'm going to change, it's usually within a few minutes after I get home.
Bonus Question(s): What is something (food, fun, anything) that is characteristic of your country or local region, or that it is known for? Hmmmmm. I'm not sure whether NW IN is known for any particular activity. One thing Indiana is famous for is the Indianapolis 500 auto race. My town is locally famous for its annual Popcorn Festival. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Valpa...24864057590634
Just for Fun: Are you old enough to remember the first time The Beatles appeared on television? If so, did you watch? Yes and yes. I remember their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. I was in 4th grade, I think, and I remember wondering why all the young girls in the audience were screaming and crying. I thought that was stupid. I enjoyed the music, though, and thought the Beatles were way cute!
Today’s Word: opprobrium Pronunciation: uh-PRO-bree-uhm Meaning: noun: 1. Strong criticism. 2. Public disgrace I see a lot of opprobrium in some of the fora here on City-Data.
Today is: Be Electrific Day Ha. I'll try! Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day I didn't spill my milk this morning, so I'm good. Get Out Your Guitar Day I will! I need to rehearse some music this evening for some upcoming performances. Make A Friend Day I don't expect to have an opportunity to meet someone new today, but perhaps at the grocery store later. Peppermint Patty Day The Peanuts character or the candy treat? Pro Sports Wives Day National Shut-in Visitation Day I visited a shut-in last week; probably won't do so today. Satisfied Staying Single Day It works for me! White T-shirt Day I don't like white T-shirts. I prefer colorful ones. World Day of The Sick
