How do you "Do" the "Today's Question"

I copy the parts of the "Question" to which I want to respond, and then I respond ... kinda like I just did.

How many of our "Question Family" have ever sung the "Hallelujah Chorus"?

Not me. I don't sing very well. The way I hit notes, I'm surprised they don't want to hit me back. It would take a very special event to catch me singing!

What is on your Monday "To Do" list that you really really need to get done?

What else? I'm going to the doctor. It's also on my Wednesday "To Do" list and unless I have a successful morning at the doctor, it will also be on my Thursday "To Do" list.

Eat a Hoagie Day AND National Cream Filled Donut Day on the SAME DAY???

"Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"

I copy the question portions of Karla's initial post and paste them into the reply box. I change the font of the questions to bold in order to distinguish between the questions and my replies. I reply to each if I can and if it's relevant. And then I read through the other replies.

Bonus Question:

Gotta get that final big inventory entry calculated, keyed and posted. And then I want to test my new alternative spreadsheet that I'm developing to see if the outcome on that one is the same as on my old one. And tonight I'm going to help my spouse roll up dolmades for tomorrow night's supper.

I have sung the entire Messiah in concert at least half a dozen times, and the Hallelujah Chorus probably a dozen or more.

Nope, none of those I do it this way I quote your message, then erase what's not necessary for me to keep (i.e. your personal comments), then answer question after question unless nothing comes to my mind straight away, so I answer the other questions first. Then I read all my answers to correct mistakes, if any. And I put all my answers in color, to distinguish them from the questions.

Bonus Question:

I never thought the simple idea of taking a look at what "question of the day" was would of turned into an addiction


Extra Credit Question:

I must go and buy sun screen because we don't have much left and are leaving on Wednesday. Hubby also wants me to get him new socks. And I must call the beauty salon to see if there's a possibility to go there either this afternoon or tomorrow for an underarm waxing, since I forgot to make an appointment last week and really need to go before we leave. Otherwise I'll have to have a hairy vacation! (and no, I won't shave!)

Just for Fun:
