Today’s Question:
Have you ever intentionally worn same outfit as someone else (by mutual agreement ahead of time), for the effect it would have on others ?
Have you tried on footwear or clothing that you didn’t expect would fit because the number it was labeled with wasn’t your size, yet the item fit surprisingly well ?
Have you ever gotten a great deal/bargain on a purchase because it was on clearance-
the last one in the store, a floor model/demo (slightly damaged), or the store was no longer carrying it ?
Extra Credit:
Is there something (such as a condiment, spice, sauce, or garnish) you bring with you
if you go out to eat (whether fast food or fine dining), in case the place is out of that food-related topping ?
Bonus:
Can you name-
…something punctuated ?
…something punctured ?
…something perforated ?
…something prorated ?
Just for Fun:
Don’t know if it exists/has been invented yet but-
would you want a fridge with a transparent/clear door, so you could see inside without having to open it ?
Or would you like to be able to get a live video feed of the refrigerator interior on your internet device ?

We spend a lot of time on developing ways of organizing the inner crowd, securing consent among it, and arranging for it to act as a whole.” -Mary Midgley

Today’s Question:
Have you ever intentionally worn same outfit as someone else (by mutual agreement ahead of time), for the effect it would have on others ? No but it sounds like fun.
Have you tried on footwear or clothing that you didn’t expect would fit because the number it was labeled with wasn’t your size, yet the item fit surprisingly well ? Yes, usually with shoes.
Have you ever gotten a great deal/bargain on a purchase because it was on clearance-
the last one in the store, a floor model/demo (slightly damaged), or the store was no longer carrying it ? Yes, I've gotten some great deals that way.
Extra Credit:
Is there something (such as a condiment, spice, sauce, or garnish) you bring with you
if you go out to eat (whether fast food or fine dining), in case the place is out of that food-related topping ? No, never had that experience at any dining establishment.

Just for Fun:
Don’t know if it exists/has been invented yet but-
would you want a fridge with a transparent/clear door, so you could see inside without having to open it ? No, because the refrigerator doesn't always look neat and organized inside.
Or would you like to be able to get a live video feed of the refrigerator interior on your internet device ? I wouldn't have much use of this unless I was expecting a burglar.
Today’s Question:
Have you ever intentionally worn same outfit as someone else (by mutual agreement ahead of time), for the effect it would have on others ?
Never.
Have you tried on footwear or clothing that you didn’t expect would fit because the number it was labeled with wasn’t your size, yet the item fit surprisingly well ?
A few times. Differences by manufacturers or within one manufacturer's line.
Have you ever gotten a great deal/bargain on a purchase because it was on clearance-
the last one in the store, a floor model/demo (slightly damaged), or the store was no longer carrying it ?
My first couch was the last one on the floor at a department store.
Extra Credit:
Is there something (such as a condiment, spice, sauce, or garnish) you bring with you

Heard of that once. So you're saying it's not just that one person.
Bonus:
Can you name-
…something punctuated ? Speech.
…something punctured ? Leather stitching.

…something prorated ? Refund based on partial use of a product.
Just for Fun:
Don’t know if it exists/has been invented yet but-
would you want a fridge with a transparent/clear door, so you could see inside without having to open it ?
Kind of sounds good until you imagine it will make the kitchen look messier when you could just open the door.
Or would you like to be able to get a live video feed of the refrigerator interior on your internet device ?
What? Not necessary.
Wishing all y’all safety and steadfastness, whether braving the elements or sheltering in place Thanks, cloven. Batten down the hatches those who need to and Have a great week everyone!

Today’s Question:
Have you ever intentionally worn same outfit as someone else (by mutual agreement ahead of time), for the effect it would have on others ? No, I've never done that.
Have you tried on footwear or clothing that you didn’t expect would fit because the number it was labeled with wasn’t your size, yet the item fit surprisingly well ? Yes, I found out recently that I wear a half size larger shoe than I'd always thought. Clothing sizes can be inconsistent, so I may try on one size larger and smaller in addition to the "correct" size, because you never know.
Have you ever gotten a great deal/bargain on a purchase because it was on clearance-
the last one in the store, a floor model/demo (slightly damaged), or the store was no longer carrying it ? When our new refrigerator was delivered, one of the doors had a small dent in it. The installer said that I could receive a credit rather than get a replacement door. But I wanted the fridge to be perfect, so I opted for the new door. Extra Credit:
Is there something (such as a condiment, spice, sauce, or garnish) you bring with you
if you go out to eat (whether fast food or fine dining), in case the place is out of that food-related topping ? I used to bring packets of Splenda with me when I traveled because I don't like Sweet 'n' Low, Equal or Stevia. Bonus:
Can you name-
…something punctuated? Irish surnames (as in O'Brien or O'Flynn).
…something punctured? A piñata.
…something perforated? Those subscription cards they put inside magazines.
…something prorated? Rent or utility bills.
Just for Fun:
Don’t know if it exists/has been invented yet but-
would you want a fridge with a transparent/clear door, so you could see inside without having to open it? No, I'd rather not see all those cartons, jars and bottles. They're not THAT attractive!
Or would you like to be able to get a live video feed of the refrigerator interior on your internet device ? That would be the most boring video in history! "Nothing to see here, folks, move along." But hey, what the heck. I'll take it.
Thanks, cloven!

the last one in the store, a floor model/demo (slightly damaged), or the store was no longer carrying it ? Not that I can think of. Of course, I most often shop at thrift stores.

Or would you like to be able to get a live video feed of the refrigerator interior on your internet device ? Oh.... people spend more than enough time on devices as it is.

Today’s Question:

Have you tried on footwear or clothing that you didn’t expect would fit because the number it was labeled with wasn’t your size, yet the item fit surprisingly well ? - Nope, but I recall a few times when it didn't fit as expected.
Have you ever gotten a great deal/bargain on a purchase because it was on clearance-
the last one in the store, a floor model/demo (slightly damaged), or the store was no longer carrying it ? - The only thing I can think of is my ottoman. One left from a going out of business sale that by coincidence matched my chair. Sidewalk display that I saw by accident.
Extra Credit:
Is there something (such as a condiment, spice, sauce, or garnish) you bring with you
if you go out to eat (whether fast food or fine dining), in case the place is out of that food-related topping ? - Salt and pepper. I don't go to restaurants but I hit food or deli bars sometimes. It saves me from asking when the bins are empty.
Bonus:
Can you name-
…something punctuated ? - Help! …something punctured ? - My food tray when getting it microwaved. The deli at Harris Teeter grocery store sells gourmet meals in the deli case for a very good price. I punch a couple of holes in it using a key to let the steam escape. …something perforated ? - Balducci's food coupons that get mailed to me. …something prorated ? - Car / vehicle battery

Today’s Question:

Have you tried on footwear or clothing that you didn’t expect would fit because the number it was labeled with wasn’t your size, yet the item fit surprisingly well ? It's happened. Size seems to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Shoes are notorious for this.
Have you ever gotten a great deal/bargain on a purchase because it was on clearance-
the last one in the store, a floor model/demo (slightly damaged), or the store was no longer carrying it ?
Yes. The jumper I've been wearing the last couple of days was on sale in a shop where I normally just window shop as it's so pricey. I was after a warmer weight item and it was on the sale rail and boy did I get it at a good price!
Extra Credit:

I used to bring orange marmalade with me and take it to breakfast at some places in France many years ago. I like the orange version and they seem to go for apricot.
Bonus:
Can you name-
…something punctuated ? My postings!
…something punctured ? Tyres- that's how we spell it!
…something perforated ? Clingfilm
…something prorated ? Energy bill payments
