Today's Questions:
About how many pairs of sunglasses do you estimate you own? - I have Progressive Transitions.
Strange coincidence because I spent a good portion of today at an eye doctors office as a walk in after I was slightly concerned about a couple of issues.
I had an outstanding exam and just need some "fine tuning" on my eyeglass prescription.
My new glasses will be ready tomorrow.
Where is at least one pair of your sunglasses right now? - I'm wearing them now (soon to be old pair) but of course they are not in the dark mode. That only happens when I am outside. Sometimes that is a conversation piece...
Have you owned any sunglasses with color lenses other than black - like blue, pink, orange, etc.? - I haven't owned a regular pair of sunglasses in over 30 years.
What about reflective or mirror lenses? - Never. They were never my style.
Do you think some people respond differently if they can't see someone's eyes? - Yes, but not I. I'm not obsessive about looking in someones eyes. A quick glance tells me all I need to know.
Bonus:
Have you ever used a "fanny-pack" or "belt pack" or whatever you call it where you live?
----> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_pack
If so, what do/did you carry in it? - No / N/A

What, if any, flavors of coffee do you like?
Did you add flavors to coffee before adding flavors was cool?
Do you have biscotti with coffee or would you not know what a biscotti was if you sat on one?
Have you ever broken a tooth on a biscotti or used one to hammer a nail?
What's at least one thing you do like with coffee? - Yuck to coffee. I do not even like the smell.
Adding that caffeine gives me bad feeling. I do not like the "high" if that's what it is.

Foodie Questions: What, if any, flavors of coffee do you like? I use 1/2 regular with 1/2 decaf and a French Vanilla creamer.
Did you add flavors to coffee before adding flavors was cool? I don't think so, when I first saw French Vanilla creamers I started using them; nothing to do with cool or the in thing. I just like the flavor.
Do you have biscotti with coffee or would you not know what a biscotti was if you sat on one? No, I haven't tried one but I generally like muffins with blueberries.
Have you ever broken a tooth on a biscotti or used one to hammer a nail? no

Do not care for flavored coffees of any kind.
Did you add flavors to coffee before adding flavors was cool?
Do you have biscotti with coffee or would you not know what a biscotti was if you sat on one? Have most all the flavors that Nonni's makes 'though my favorite is the Lemon (spelled Limone on the pkg), only 110 calories & 17 carbs.
Have you ever broken a tooth on a biscotti or used one to hammer a nail? LoL no, the brand mentioned above is not that hard.
What's at least one thing you do like with coffee?
The best dipping cookies I've enjoyed w/it are the Famous Amos bite-size chocolate chip w/pecans... I had to quit getting those though because they seemed to disappear all too quickly... kind of like potato chips, you can't eat just one or five or ten! Also, just a fyi, if you were to taste these cookies w/o dipping them in coffee, I doubt you'd even buy them at all, but with coffee-dipping, scrumptious!
