Are there any clocks in your home that you forgot to"spring ahead" so as of next week it will finally be right ? There's a clock or two that I never adjust. Oddly enough, it never poses a problem. I get to realizing that those clocks are an hour ahead.
Bonus Question: Yesterday we talked about food you didn't like when you were little,it made me wonder
When you were little did you have to
If it was being served you had to eat it ? Often, not always. At least try everything that was being served ? If you didn't like it you didn't have to eat it ? There were times that I literally sat the table for HOURS because I refused to eat something. Yes, I was one of "those" kids.
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever worked 2nd or 3rd shift at a job ? I pulled a double once when I waited tables. Wasn't worth it.
What would your "ideal" working hours be ? About 16 hours a week. WITH benefits! So I'm a dreamer. . . .
Just for Fun:
Who is your favorite loquacious person ? Co-worker and friend named Bernie. Talks TOO much, and it gets on my nerves, but we love her.
Who is your favorite non-loquacious person ? Hmm. The stuffed bear on my massage chair.

If it was being served you had to eat it ? No

My parents always encouraged me and my siblings to try everything at least once but they never forced us to eat something if we didn't like it. Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever worked 2nd or 3rd shift at a job ?
Yes, when I was younger I worked a 10PM to 6AM graveyard shift at a residential facility. It was tough to sleep during the day so I hated it!
What would your "ideal" working hours be ?
Flex hours. It would be nice to have a job where I could set my own schedule. I've known some people who have this kind of schedule and they all love it. I would probably work 9AM to 6PM most of the time since I'm not an early morning person.

Are there any clocks in your home that you forgot to"spring ahead" so as of next week it will finally be right ? No, all clocks in my house must be accurate! I even set the clocks on the coffee pot. I tend to only follow the clocks on my cell phone or the cable box, since they are 100% accurate

Today in History:
1492 - Lead pencils 1st used With lead on them, I bet they were a little heavy back then..
1785 - The first mules in America arrived in Boston, Massachusetts. They were a gift from King Charles III of Spain.) I think they're now the family that owns the Mayflower Moving Company..
1941 - U.S. savings bonds go on sale They were on sale? Was it a Blue Light Special?
1964 - Rolling Stones appear on Ed Sullivan Show I used to call them "The Rolling Stoned".. Have you seen how Keith Richards looks these days? He could go to a Halloween party, and he won't need a costume...
1972 - Guided tours of Alcatraz (by Park Service) begin I was on there one time, not locked up, but on a tour. - This was in 1983, but I don't think they have those tours anymore.
Today is:
Pumpkin Day
Pretzel Day
Mince Meat Pie Day
National Sleep-In Day
Worldwide Howl At The Moon Night Perfect combination.. Somebody can eat a pumpkin, pretzels, and a Mince Meat Pie, and that combination is probably enough to wake that person up in the middle of the night, and make him/her Howl at the moon, then sleep in the next day.... so if I hear one of my neighbors howling at the moon tonight, I'll know why..

No.

If it was being served you had to eat it?
At least try everything that was being served?
If you didn't like it you didn't have to eat it?
If it was being served, I had to eat it. I hated that rule, which is why I don't make my daughter eat anything she doesn't like.
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever worked 2nd or 3rd shift at a job?
No. Never.
What would your "ideal" working hours be?
11 a.m. - 7 p.m. I am NOT a morning person. 11 a.m. would be a perfect start time for me. And, 7 p.m. is still early enough to make it to the mall or whatever, before they close.
Today's Question(s): Are there any clocks in your home that you forgot to"spring ahead" so as of next week it will finally be right ? I don't leave clocks unchanged for 6 mos. But this q reminds me of the saying: a stopped clock is right twice a day. Modern twist: a digital clock just dies. Bonus Question:
Yesterday we talked about food you didn't like when you were little,it made me wonder At least try everything that was being served - this one. I don't believe in forcing anyone to eat something they don't like.
Extra Credit Question: Have you ever worked 2nd or 3rd shift at a job ?
Yes, both. I like those schedules actually.
Have also worked jobs where I worked every weekend so days off were something like Monday and Tuesday. The plus is you can run errands on your days off. Minus is not as many fun things are scheduled as they are on Saturdays.
Also, worked all holidays for years when single and no kids. Got double pay for those days.
Today is:
Pumpkin Day gotta get home by midnight or turn into a pumpkin
National Sleep-In Day shouldn't that day be on a weekend?
