Happy Monday February 19, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
Today’s Question:
Have you heard a notification sound (such as a ring, ding, or other tone for mobile device) and thought it was yours-
but it was another person’s device instead (whether in real life-at home or out in the world-or noise from a tv show/movie) ?
Extra Credit:
Does any of your clothing (coats, shirts, pants) come with extra buttons (sewn inside/attached) in case one falls off & needs to be replaced ?
Bonus:
If the skin on your face is reactive/sensitive, do you have different soap(s) for your face (than what you use to wash your hands or for bathing) ?
Just for Fun:
If it were technologically doable & at no financial cost to you, would you accept an offer to be among the first civilians to try living on Mars ?

Have you heard a notification sound (such as a ring, ding, or other tone for mobile device) and thought it was yours-
but it was another person’s device instead (whether in real life-at home or out in the world-or noise from a tv show/movie) ? No, I don't carry any devices with me. I have one cell phone and it sits in the vehicle and is used for emergency's primarily. Am happy without all the expensive junk on the market today that goes obsolete every few months.
Extra Credit:
Does any of your clothing (coats, shirts, pants) come with extra buttons (sewn inside/attached) in case one falls off & needs to be replaced ? Not anymore.
Bonus:
If the skin on your face is reactive/sensitive, do you have different soap(s) for your face (than what you use to wash your hands or for bathing) ? I use scent free soaps.
Just for Fun:
If it were technologically doable & at no financial cost to you, would you accept an offer to be among the first civilians to try living on Mars ? No, too old now.

For a split second I've thought ringing on the TV was our phone several times over the years.
Extra Credit:
Does any of your clothing (coats, shirts, pants) come with extra buttons (sewn
inside/attached) in case one falls off & needs to be replaced ?
Lots of trousers and shirts come with spare buttons in the hem or inside near a pocket.
Bonus:
If the skin on your face is reactive/sensitive, do you have different soap(s) for your face (than
what you use to wash your hands or for bathing) ?
No, jsut regular soap.
Just for Fun:
If it were technologically doable & at no financial cost to you, would you accept an offer to be
among the first civilians to try living on Mars ? No way! I'm staying earthbound.

Bonus:
If the skin on your face is reactive/sensitive, do you have different soap(s) for your face (than what you use to wash your hands or for bathing) ? N/A
Just for Fun:
If it were technologically doable & at no financial cost to you, would you accept an offer to be among the first civilians to try living on Mars ? No, thank you. Especially after seeing that movie Total Recall.
Have a great start to the new week and Happy President's Day!

Have you heard a notification sound (such as a ring, ding, or other tone for mobile device) and thought it was yours-
but it was another person’s device instead (whether in real life-at home or out in the world-or noise from a tv show/movie) ? Oh, that happens to me all the time.
Extra Credit:
Does any of your clothing (coats, shirts, pants) come with extra buttons (sewn inside/attached) in case one falls off & needs to be replaced ? Yes, several of my shirts and PJ tops have those extra buttons, and so do some of Mr. Bay's clothing. I've only ever had to use a spare button once, but I think it's a nice feature. Bonus:
If the skin on your face is reactive/sensitive, do you have different soap(s) for your face (than what you use to wash your hands or for bathing) ? My skin is pretty normal, but since I'm older I am careful not to use any soap or other products that are excessively drying, and I moisturize religiously after cleansing. Just for Fun:
If it were technologically doable & at no financial cost to you, would you accept an offer to be among the first civilians to try living on Mars? There is not a snowball's chance in you-know-where I'd ever agree to a thing like that. I like Planet Earth too much.

Have you heard a notification sound (such as a ring, ding, or other tone for mobile device) and thought it was yours-
but it was another person’s device instead (whether in real life-at home or out in the world-or noise from a tv show/movie) ? Nope. I use different ring 'n' ding tones from other people.
Extra Credit:
Does any of your clothing (coats, shirts, pants) come with extra buttons (sewn inside/attached) in case one falls off & needs to be replaced ? I've had a few, yes.
Bonus:
If the skin on your face is reactive/sensitive, do you have different soap(s) for your face (than what you use to wash your hands or for bathing) ? I use liquid castile for my face because it's non-drying and washes off my makeup better.
Just for Fun:
If it were technologically doable & at no financial cost to you, would you accept an offer to be among the first civilians to try living on Mars ? Nope! In fact, I think life criminals should be sent there to colonize.

My cell phone plays "Here With Me" by Dido, currently, when it rings so I never think it's my phone when someone else's phone rings. Even Dido fans probably pick a song of hers that was more popular as a ringtone.

Yes, but lots of luck with thinking I'm going to do the sewing.
Bonus:
If the skin on your face is reactive/sensitive, do you have different soap(s) for your face (than what you use to wash your hands or for bathing) ? No.

but it was another person’s device instead (whether in real life-at home or out in the world-or noise from a tv show/movie) ? No. If I had a phone other than the landline, it would probably happen.

If the skin on your face is reactive/sensitive, do you have different soap(s) for your face (than what you use to wash your hands or for bathing) ? I use creamy cleansers instead of soap.
Just for Fun:
If it were technologically doable & at no financial cost to you, would you accept an offer to be among the first civilians to try living on Mars ? Might consider it if I were much younger and had no family attachments.
