[quote=linda814;47021779]Well that month flew by! Hardly any snow. .mid 50s this week. ..Winter has been pretty tolerable here in Tennessee, how bout you?

Getting better - in the upper 50's during midday, and the almond trees have been in flower for a week.

1. What flavor of cough drops do you prefer? I only buy one brand, Mebocaina, because they are the best cough drop I have ever used - they really work! Their flavor???? Some kind of mint, maybe spearmint.

2. When paying cash at the register, do you have change readily available for the cents if your bill was $10.66 or do you like getting the change back? If I want to get rid of coins I pay as much of the bill as possible in coins; if I need coins then I give a fairly large note in order to get coins in return. (The basic currency unit is the euro, which is a coin, and it is good to have a pocketful. If I am short, I pay my parking fee in the garage with a ten euro note so that I get a whole bunch of coins back as change.)

3. Do you sneak snacks into the movie theatre? I haven't been to a movie in a theatre since sometime in the 1970's as far as I can recall.

4. Do you do your own taxes? I would be posting from jail if I did.

5. Groundhog's Day is coming up. ..do you have a friend named Phil? It doesn't play here.

6. I spy something_orange_________________

7. Michael_the Archangel_______________________

8. I am usually.......
Early
Late
On time
ALWAYS late

9. What comes to mind when someone says New York City? My former home town.

10. What day is your trash pick up? Whatever day I bend over and lift it. (We leave it at a collection point.)

11. Is there someone right now in your life that you would not be able to be in the same room with?

Yes, she acts like Mary Poppins on meth, but she is most certainly not in my life.

12. Did you have a favorite babysitter when you were little? No, I liked them all - except one, and I terrorized her and she never came back.

I hope you all have a great week. There will be a guest asking questions next week as I will be floating in the Western Caribbean on calm seas...at least I hope they're calm. ...see y' all in 2 weeks!

Farewell and enjoy.

Cough drops, I like the cherry flavour.
I don't mind getting coins back, they just go into a jar and save for a rainy day. 😊
Except for the popcorn (extra salt and butter!) I've discreetly brought goodies in to a theater.
Never really had a favorite babysitter, but we respected them anyway.
Have a great time Linda, and everyone have a great week!

1. What flavor of cough drops do you prefer?

Cherry but I usually opt for the worst tasting like I do with mouthwash. Just can't get it out of my head that worst tasting means most effective.

2. When paying cash at the register, do you have change readily available for the cents if your bill was $10.66 or do you like getting the change back?

No at the cash register but yes at drive through windows.

3. Do you sneak snacks into the movie theatre?

I only did it once, I think. I brought in a bagel with cream cheese. Can't remember why but probably because I didn't have breakfast or lunch.

4. Do you do your own taxes? Yes

5. Groundhog's Day is coming up. ..do you have a friend named Phil? Not currently.

6. I spy something rectangle.

7. Michaelangelo

8. I am usually.......
Early
Late
On time
ALWAYS late


On time or slightly early

9. What comes to mind when someone says New York City?

"Start spreading the news. I'm leaving today. I want to be a part of it. New York, New York."

I don't actually feel that way but the song comes into my head.

10. What day is your trash pick up?

The apartment complex dumpster is nowhere near my apartment. One of the days is early Sunday morning (like 4:00A) though...because I hear it. Why that day and not other days? Beats me.

11. Is there someone right now in your life that you would not be able to be in the same room with?

How would that work? How could they not be able to be in the same room with me but still be in my life? I can't imagine a scenario. Are we talking like order of protection? Mother in law so you're stuck with them because of who you married? My friend is currently at the space station? Am I overthinking this?

12. Did you have a favorite babysitter when you were little?

My grandmother.
