What about apartments? A home can be anyplace, even a shed out by the two-seater. The wording of the question can mean apartment dwellers too, who might otherwise think it's a question only for those in houses. Just trying to include as meaning people as possible.

Interesting take on McConaughey. I thought he was supposed to be a heartthrob.

A house with lots of rooms and maybe a secret passage or two. Also want a sun porch to sit on during the winter.

Finish the thought, "I never get tired of:
Stinky cheese

What do you think of the Matthew McConaughey commercials for Lincoln?
I try not to think about them.

Definition below. Have you noticed the expression "in someone's wheelhouse" has become popular?
Um, as you might have noticed it appears I failed to notice that I needed to copy and paste the word of the day so that I would be able to answer this question. Therefore there is a very good chance that I also might not have noticed the expression becoming popular.


Foodie Qs:
Let's eat like squirrels.
Fat chance of that happening. Unless of course you are talking about a really huge squirrel.

Pumpkin seeds. Sunflowers seeds. Nuts. Craisins or Raisins, etc.
what are your favorite snacky seeds, nuts or dried fruits?
Raisins for me. While you are at it please put those raisins in some bread. Maybe spread some butter on the bread. Feel free to pop the bread in the toaster.


Just for fun:
Even if you're already in a relationship or just not interested in a new one:
-What is the maximum number of years OLDER than you that you'd likely find acceptable in a romantic partner?
-Okay, now what is the maximum number of years YOUNGER than you that you'd find acceptable?
More important than age difference is whether or not she is financially stable enough to keep me in stinky cheese and cheap beer.

Today's Random Questions:
What beverage would you like on hand while answering these questions?


I don't usually drink and QOTD. Water.

What type music, or TV show/channel or background activities are going on around you right now?

None. I don't even hear the birds outside.

Do you prefer a home, apartment or house, with an open floor plan or a more compartmentalized one?


Compartmentalized. I really don't need to see what anyone is doing.

Finish the thought, "I never get tired of: ice cream

What do you think of the Matthew McConaughey commercials for Lincoln? Never gave it any thought. No opinion.

Definition below. Have you noticed the expression "in someone's wheelhouse" has become popular?

Haven't noticed.

Foodie Qs:

Pumpkin seeds. Sunflowers seeds. Nuts. Craisins or Raisins, etc.

The squirrels I know like peanuts and red grapes. I'll go with peanuts or cashews but not dry roasted.

Not interested at playing nursemaid. Think the older you get, the age acceptable gap gets smaller. You know, when you are 25, 35 - 40 might be okay with you but when you are 60, do you really want some 70 - 75 year old? Two years.

-Okay, now what is the maximum number of years YOUNGER than you that you'd find acceptable?

Two years. We're talking romance/love not sex, right?
