What kind of business do you think looks like it would be fun to run or to work for? Even though I'm not a coffee drinker, a coffee house with comfy furniture where people can relax with their beverages and read or mingle with others. I also think a doggy daycare would be fun.
What might (or did) someone say to anyone in public who stared at them? A friend of mine back in high school told me a story of where a lady was staring at him when he was out eating or shopping. He finally had enough and asked her, "What the f*** do you want?" I don't remember what the lady's response was, if any.
Are you ever surprised by the friends or company some people keep? Details, if you have them. I worked with a lady about 10 years ago who married a guy 17 years her senior. To me, I thought they were very mismatched, but when I watched them interact, I could tell they really loved each other.

Have you known of anyone who "lost" their car in a parking lot or garage? Me, twice,in parking garages, when I lived in LA. I always know where I am outside, but inside buildings or structures I get easily lost. The first time I did this it was funny, but the second time it was just very aggravating.

What might (or did) someone say to anyone in public who stared at them? "Like what you see?"
Are you ever surprised by the friends or company some people keep? Details, if you have them. Sure. It's more weird why some couples are together. The wife of one couple I know is a complete hypochondriac. Recently she not only got a rabies shot for herself for no good reason but she made her husband get one too. She's always telling him what to do and she makes him do a lot of physical labor for her. He's much younger than she is, and sort of good looking, and seems nice. Why on earth would he be with her??
Foodie Questions: Do you eat sunflowers seeds, pistachios or similar snacky foods? I SO love pistachios, and am lazy and get the kind already shelled and salted. Ditto sunflower seeds, although I prefer them unsalted so I can put them in vegetable stirfrys and etc.

Thanks for the questions! Hope everyone is safe from the wild weather that's active in some parts of the country.
