Happy Monday July 24, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
Today’s Question:
Whether to hear more or hear less, do you own and/or use-
earplugs ?
headphones ?
earbuds ?
ear pods (wireless) ? I use the earbuds when in public areas and listening to audio on the pc.
Extra Credit:
Do you have a guest bedroom ?
If so, what is that room normally, when not being used by a visitor-or is it only for guests ? I have a guest bedroom, the closet is filled with extra stuff Mrs Aks has.
Bonus:
Have you ever gotten a blister on your foot while wearing shoes ?
Were the shoes too large, too small, too new, too old, did you wear them for too long or with the wrong kind of socks-or something else ? I can't remember getting a blister for many years.
Just for Fun:
If you have any of these items, have you:
washed/rinsed/wiped out your trash can, recycle bin, and/or compost container ? My trash can never needs washing, we use plastic bags for all the waste baskets and garbage in the house so there's never a bad odor when taken outside to the larger trash container.
laundered your laundry bags ? Laundry bag when I was in the service but not after that.
Today’s Question:
Whether to hear more or hear less, do you own and/or use-earplugs ? I don't.
headphones Nope
earbuds No
ear pods (wireless) Nope
Do you have a guest bedroom ? I do.
If so, what is that room normally, when not being used by a visitor-or is it only for guests ? I use the closet for storage and my cat likes to sit on the bed.
Have you ever gotten a blister on your foot while wearing shoes ? I have.
Were the shoes too large, too small, too new, too old, did you wear them for too long or with the wrong kind of socks-or something else ? Too new and the wrong shape for my foot.
If you have any of these items, have you:
washed/rinsed/wiped out your trash can, recycle bin, and/or compost container ? Just the trash can.
laundered your laundry bags ? Yes.
Happy Monday July 24, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
Today’s Question: Whether to hear more or hear less, do you own and/or use- earplugs ? Rarely headphones ? Yes, when I take walks. earbuds ? No, they hurt me. ear pods (wireless) ? Nope.
Extra Credit: Do you have a guest bedroom ? Yes. If so, what is that room normally, when not being used by a visitor-or is it only for guests ? It's two things: It was my daughter's room and I keep it adorned with her things, so it's a shrine, and; it's a "catch-all" where I dump stuff temporarily or permanently. Not the most welcoming room for a visitor, I'll admit.
Bonus: Have you ever gotten a blister on your foot while wearing shoes ? Yes Were the shoes too large, too small, too new, too old, did you wear them for too long or with the wrong kind of socks-or something else ? I think it was the craftsmanship on one of the shoes. But I have narrow feet and can have problems if I'm not careful.
Just for Fun: If you have any of these items, have you: washed/rinsed/wiped out your trash can, recycle bin, and/or compost container ? laundered your laundry bags ? How funny! Just yesterday I thought that I should scrub out the bottom of the kitchen trash and waste cans. Same with the laundry can, although what it needs is deodorized. Plan to do that maybe today.
Wishing you a day in which your feet remain planted firmly on the ground-and nothing trips you up

washed/rinsed/wiped out your trash can, recycle bin, and/or compost container ? Inside ones get washed, outside ones no.
Today’s Question:
Whether to hear more or hear less, do you own and/or use-
earplugs ? No, I'm intolerant of sticking things inside my ears.
headphones ? No, too bulky/heavy/pricey.

No-mine is a tiny apt.

In a pinch, couch in living room/kitchen (only room that isn't my bedroom or the bath) can accommodate one person.
Bonus:
Have you ever gotten a blister on your foot while wearing shoes ?
Yes, new sandals I ordered online this spring, couldn't try on before buying-the side of my left foot wasn't happy with this.
Were the shoes too large, too small, too new, too old, did you wear them for too long or with the wrong kind of socks-or something else ?
Too new, too narrow-situation has improved with time/repetition (breaking in the footwear, getting my feet used to them).
Just for Fun:
If you have any of these items, have you:
washed/rinsed/wiped out your trash can, recycle bin, and/or compost container ?
All three kinds of bins. Not often-mostly in summer bc. that's when things get icky very quick
(containers sitting on lawn in sun, before & after pickup on trash/etc. day of week).
laundered your laundry bags ?
Rarely, I admit-tend to forget-but I tossed them in with the wash them just a couple days ago.
Today’s Question: Whether to hear more or hear less, do you own and/or use- earplugs? Nope. headphones? Nope. earbuds? Nope. ear pods (wireless)? Nope. I use a white noise machine at night to help me sleep. It helps to drown out the ringing in my left ear, which is afflicted with Meniere's Disease.
Extra Credit: Do you have a guest bedroom? No; wish I did. I have a second bedroom, but there is so little storage space in my 102-year-old house that I use the second bedroom as a storage area. If so, what is that room normally, when not being used by a visitor-or is it only for guests? N/A
Bonus: Have you ever gotten a blister on your foot while wearing shoes? Yes, just last week I got a biggie. Were the shoes too large, too small, too new, too old, did you wear them for too long or with the wrong kind of socks-or something else? They were brand-new tennies. I've since broken them in. Had a nice 3.5-mile walk outside this evening and they felt fine.
Just for Fun: If you have any of these items, have you: washed/rinsed/wiped out your trash can, recycle bin, and/or compost container? Yes, I occasionally wash out my trash can and recycle bin laundered your laundry bags? I don't have a laundry bag.
Today’s Word: plantigrade /ˈplan(t)əˌɡrād/ (adj.): Walking (flat) on soles of feet, in which heels and toes touch ground/surface. The default/basic method of locomotion for terrestrial mammals, incl. humans (compare to later evolutionary variations: digitigrade = walking on toes, unguligrade = walking on nails/hooves).
Today Is: National Drive-Thru Day National Tequila Day I'm tempted to have a shot to celebrate, but I'll resist. Cousins Day I have a sweet cousin in California whom I haven't seen for over 10 years. Wish I had enough vacation days from work so I could go and visit her this year. The visit will have to wait till after I retire.
Happy Monday, everybody!
