How many of our QOTD family have a GPS unit in your car ? I have one.
If you “don’t” and you get lost what do you do first ? The first thing I do is wish I had not gotten lost. Then, since I am a man and men do not ask for directions, I backtrack to where I was not lost. Sometimes I have to repeat this step several times before getting to where I wanted to go.
Can you re-fold a road map ? I am very good at that. I am equally good at crumpling, shredding, tossing out the window, or cramming maps into the glove box.
Bonus Question:
When you were a kid did you have
A teen line for yourself ? There was never a chance of that happening. Three of the places we lived while growing up only had the old fashion crank style phone systems. The phone rang at everyones house. I remember one of our phone numbers was 3 longs and a short.
An extension phone from the main line in your room ? Nope
Sigh everyone heard my conversations ? Everyone in the housing compound could listen in on my phone conversations if they wanted to.
*and for those younger QOTD members* Define "younger"
Instead, did you have your own cell phone ? I am guessing I am not included in the defination of "younger" so I will go no for my answer.
Extra Credit Question: Lets talk about crayons !!
How many crayons did you have in the box ? I usually only had the starter pack of 8 crayons. There was always someone at school that would show up with the 128 crayon box. The rest of us would sorta borrow what we needed when they were not looking.
When coloring in a coloring book did you
Stay in the lines ? Trace around the lines first ?" Not only did I color outside the lines but I often had blue trees Let's just say there are none of my colorings hanging in any art gallery. For that matter I do not ever recall my mom hanging any of my colorings on the fridge. Hmmmm...

I turned on the heat today. 58 degrees in here when I got up. I suppose it's time. If the leaves would drop the sun would get in through the windows and I wouldn't need the furnace! Our first freeze is expected this weekend. Bye-bye leaves.
Got firewood brought in today. Mrs. Tek is coming home (she just called and is almost home - "Open the doors I have to pee!!". Don't you ever tell her I told you that!) and I think an evening with a fire is a great idea.
How many of our QOTD family have a GPS unit in your car? Not I
If you “don’t” and you get lost what do you do first? Stamp my little feet and have a hissy. Then I ask for directions. After driving around aimlessly for another 4 hours.
Can you re-fold a road map? Not like it was folded when I unfolded it. When I'm finished with it, it looks like a pile of old newspapers.
Bonus Question:
When you were a kid did you have
A teen line for yourself? HA! With my parents?
An extension phone from the main line in your room? Yes, one of these, after I installed the wiring and the jack, then bought my own ancient, black rotary dial Stromberg-Carlson phone for 10 bucks from Allied Electronics.

How many crayons did you have in the box? I think it was 64? maybe more. Too long ago.
