Today's Random Questions:

-Or how else did you earn cash in hand, besides an "official" job?


Babysat. I wasn't allowed to use the lawn mower.


Are you or anyone you know of colorblind?


No.


I'd be happy to watch a documentary about:


Let me see a list and I'll choose something.


Ever get mad at yourself for pulling a muscle or some other annoying injury?


Not really mad, just annoyed. A few years ago I was doing an exercise that I was unfamiliar with and a flash of pain shot up the back of my neck and head. A couple of days later a tiny lump appeared behind my ear. Even though I was 99% sure it was because the exercise, I convinced myself that I had lymphoma. Of course I didn't go to the doctor because I don't do that. So I stressed out about it until it eventually went away. This sort of thing happens all the time.



Some days I just feel like:


Madness.


What was your last non-food purchase?


This evening a black and white blouse and black purse. I also bid on a vintage 80's Swatch Watch on Ebay that no one else seems interested in so far so I'll probably end up with that.


I was just sitting here watching Shark Tank. So tell us. If you had everything you needed to
start a business you would enjoy - and let's say you wanted to - what type business would you have?


My business ideas are fleeting.


Foodie Qs:
What kind was your last slice of:

-pie?

Cherry

-cake?

I don't remember.

-pizza?


Buffalo chicken


What's another food served in slices?


Uh ...


This is gonna be a tough one for some. Steakhouse with a great salad bar or barbecue sampler plate with all the trimmings?


I don't eat steak but I'll take a salad. Same with the BBQ except for chicken.




[b]Just for fun:
What are your plans for this Sunday?


Don't know.
