Today's Question(s):
Do you ever go out or take a few minutes just to get some sun?
I work outside in the sun, every day...rain or shine.

Do you have candles for power outages or do you ever just like to light candles? I only use them for power outages, and haven't done that in a few years. I probably couldn't find them if I needed them.

Do you have any preferred scents of candles, soaps, cologne, etc.? I have a vanilla body spray I sometimes use. It's a very light scent. But, I usually don't think of spraying it.

Is there a store, a restaurant, a gym, etc. you wish you could magically move to where you live now? No. I'm 5 minutes away from stores and restaurants, and everything I need is closeby.

What restaurant(s) do you go to more than any other(s)? Texas Roadhouse, and McDonalds for cappuccino

Foodie Question(s):
Do you ever enjoy fried fish and chips? No. I had them once a few years ago. Too greasy for me.

Do you ever have malt vinegar on fried fish? No

Coleslaw, yes or no? Good coleslaw is hard to find in restaurants. I don't like a lot of mayo, or long strings of cabbage. My mother made it the best!

What Say You:

"I'm so glad I don't live in or next to an SPCA. I've had business appointments in homes with those locations and it's irritating with dogs barking all the time

Have a pleasant Thursday.
Thanks BJH

Good morning.

Today's Question(s):
Do you ever go out or take a few minutes just to get some sun?
Multiple times/day.
Do you have candles for power outages or do you ever just like to light candles?
Yes, I do. I also like to light very small candles daily.
Do you have any preferred scents of candles, soaps, cologne, etc.?
Lavender, sandalwood.
Is there a store, a restaurant, a gym, etc. you wish you could magically move to where you live now?
Yes, a few grocery stores from Europe and a few International (for instance an Iranian Store in Orange County that is one of my favorites. It has lots of cheese, chocolate and other delicatessen from Europe, India, Australia, UK etc.) I also miss a few clothing stores, one from Germany and one from the UK. I do miss all these sometimes. You would too...if you were living in a different country/continent. It's natural to miss things, places, people, nature, scents etc.
What restaurant(s) do you go to more than any other(s)?
Indian. I don't go to other restaurants in general, or maybe once or twice a year, or something like that.
Foodie Question(s):
Do you ever enjoy fried fish and chips?
I liked eating them in the UK. I haven't eaten this combination in a loooong time.
Do you ever have malt vinegar on fried fish?
No. Not into sweet vinegar. Not into sweet foods in general. Except ice cream of course.
Coleslaw, yes or no?
I love it. I'm going to make a salad today, thanks for reminding me about it.

Thank you very much. You have a wonderful day.

Hello and welcome to . . .

Today's Question(s):
Do you ever go out or take a few minutes just to get some sun?
Not for that reason. One of my daily "vampire" prescription drugs (and I don't remember which one ) has instructions to stay out of direct sunlight. But, that's okay because except for errands, I go outside for long periods of time to take photos and I don't do that except on cloudy/overcast days (because of shadows). I usually look at weather forecasts to find out what hours of the day the clouds will roll in and go out, then. Take a lot of photos from the car. Take Vitamin D3.

Do you have candles for power outages or do you ever just like to light candles? No candles. Have a 3 battery (AA) powered lamp that is small enough and light enough to carry around from room to room.

Do you have any preferred scents of candles, soaps, cologne, etc.? Like: liquid soap that is pear and green tea scented, pine and cedar anything and lavender. Just hate the smell of lilacs and anything lilac scented.

Is there a store, a restaurant, a gym, etc. you wish you could magically move to where you live now? No. Don't want to live near anything like that. Like driving and a lot of trees. Wouldn't mind being 3 - 5 miles or so from a good non-chain Italian restaurant.

What restaurant(s) do you go to more than any other(s)? Outback, Calhoun's

Foodie Question(s):
Do you ever enjoy fried fish and chips?
Don't eat anything that comes out of the water.

Do you ever have malt vinegar on fried fish? No

Coleslaw, yes or no? Yes. Love it.

What Say You:

"I'm so glad I don't live in or next to"
a large city, a halfway house, a neighbor with a lilac garden (lilacs smell like cat urine to me), a prison, a mall, a school (especially an elementary school because every weekday during the school term, the cars are lined up in front of them on the street to pick up kids), a thief the DA let go, any sports field that is lit up brightly at night, a duck farm, a hotel, a hospital, a homeless encampment, a drug den or meth lab, a bar, a Sulphur anything (smells like rotten eggs), a lima bean warehouse...just kidding about that last one


Have a pleasant Thursday.
