Sundays Questions:
-Have you ever had something quit working just days after the warranty either expired or went from full no cost replacement to pro-rated replacement? Probably. I'm getting less and less good at remembering specifics when they happened long ago.
-Not counting the ocassional hurricane or tornado does it get very windy where you live? It sure does and the surprising thing is we're hundreds of miles away from Washington.
-Do you like to go outside on real windy days? I don't mind it. It can be downright refreshing, especially with rain or sleet.
-Do you enjoy watching lightning and thunder storms? Sometimes and been near strikes that were uncomfortably close a time or two.
-If TN Tin Man goes outside on a windy day does his funnel start to whistle? What tune does it play? It absolutely does. It plays, we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz.
-Do you ever stay awake at night pondering important things such as how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? No, but now you mention it I'll stay awake some night to ponder how much Cher gets in royalties for the playing of "I've Got You Babe" over and over again in Groundhog Day.
-If you dropped ten pounds of feathers on your foot would it hurt? Only if it's 2 feathers wrapped in a lead container.
When it comes to doing laundry I...
-Sort the laundry into different loads. Sort of.
-Pre-treat stains before washing. Maybe.
-Sort of look like I know what I am doing.
-Just shove everything into the washer and hope for the best.
-Do laundry? That is someone else's job.
-Have you ever accidently dropped something heavy and without thinking stuck your foot out to try to stop the heavy item from hitting the ground?
After riding around in the Jeep for a couple days, it was decided the questions were not improving with age.
Therefore, once again as Geraldine would say..."What you see is what you get". At least they were aged like a fine stinky cheese.
Welcome to the 'While I was waiting' edition of the QOTD. A couple days ago the battery in the Jeep decided 3 years of service was enough. During the hour I had to wait for road service to come get me going again I came up with the questions for today.
Sundays Questions:
-Have you ever had something quit working just days after the warranty either expired or went from full no cost replacement to pro-rated replacement? I don't think so.
-Not counting the ocassional hurricane or tornado does it get very windy where you live? Unfortunately it hardly does...the windiest times are when "cold" (50 highs 30 lows) fronts come through and the average wind speed during the day is around 10-12 mph. It typically lies between 4-7 during the day and calm at night.
-Do you like to go outside on real windy days? Yes!!!
-Do you enjoy watching lightning and thunder storms? Usually from our front porch
-If TN Tin Man goes outside on a windy day does his funnel start to whistle? What tune does it play? I wish I knew
-Do you ever stay awake at night pondering important things such as how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I ponder important things but not this one
-If you dropped ten pounds of feathers on your foot would it hurt? I don't think so
When it comes to doing laundry I...
-Sort the laundry into different loads. Yes
-Pre-treat stains before washing. Never treated a stain
-Sort of look like I know what I am doing. Basically
-Just shove everything into the washer and hope for the best. Ehhh sorta
-Do laundry? That is someone else's job. True
-Have you ever accidently dropped something heavy and without thinking stuck your foot out to try to stop the heavy item from hitting the ground? No but I've DEFINITELY dropped stuff on my foot.
-How long did your foot hurt afterwards? The rest of the night and I could feel it the day after too.

-Have you ever had something quit working just days after the warranty either expired or went from full no cost replacement to pro-rated replacement? Many years ago I had a washing machine that quit after one year--due to something mechanical in the machine. The warranty was up.

at least you spent the time constructively.
