Today's Random Questions:
Something that made you:

-Run?
- Across a street.

-Dance? - I think this counts - I have to cross a very busy road to get to work where I have to park my car. Yesterday night I was in the middle of a crosswalk with the green walk sign and I was almost hit by an SUV who was making a right turn on red. I was wearing tan pans and a white shirt so I do not know how he didn't see me. He scared the heck out of me. One could say it was a dance move...

-Sneeze? - I do not remember the details.

-Have seconds? - I finished the last of the Hershey's Kisses I bought from a bulk bin 2 weeks ago. I think there were 6 left. I only eat a few at a time and buy is a small quantity.

-Leave the room? - At old job. Two people were arguing and it was making me depressed. Life is short ya know?

Bonus:
Do you have any machine washable coats or jackets?
- Maybe but I take then to the dry cleaners. It's cheap enough and they come out nice.

How about coats or jackets that require dry cleaning? ^

So have you washed or taken either to the dry cleaners yet this season? - Not this season..

Foodie Q(s):
Creamed spinach, yum or yuck?
- It's okay but it's not something i'd go through the trouble of making.

Describe a really good or memorable dessert you enjoyed? - Fresh homemade ice cream sundae at the University of Maryland dairy store. The best.

Thanks, bjh
Happy Saturday to all!
