Today’s Question:
Is there a public figure that appears on talk/interview shows who is always (in your personal opinion) an interesting & engaging guest ?

Cheeseburgers.
Do you have a guilty displeasure, thing you dislike but feel you ought to like ?
It seems we're supposed to like news stories sympathetic to people who've committed wrong doing. I think it's a question of, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And I don't feel guilty.

Vehicle maintenance, registration and inspections, etc. Just got back from an oil change for the truck.

Today’s Question:
Is there a public figure that appears on talk/interview shows who is always (in your personal opinion) an interesting & engaging guest ? Yes but don't ask me to remember who they are Nah I really enjoy the very talented children that Ellen features on her shows - they amaze me. Other than that most people I come across either in person or a public figure seem disingenuous and just love to hear their own voice. Whatever happened to "quiet time"?

Do you have a guilty displeasure, thing you dislike but feel you ought to like ? Yeah I guess that would be sushi, I hate it but everyone I know eats that crap and they act like there's something wrong with me! I don't even like cooked fish that much
Bonus:
Is there a chore or task which you stay on top of, accomplish reliably ? Yes washing the dishes. I have to stay on top of it because I don't have a dishwasher to hide all my dirty dishes. If nothing else, I wash the dishes.
Is there a chore or task you tend to put off, avoid until you can’t any longer ? Everything else?
Just for Fun:
Do you sleep with your windows open in summer ? Noooooooo way, too much wildlife roaming around here at night, some of my windows are close to the ground.
