Today's Question(s):

Have you ever gone up to someone you didn't know to ask them about something that caught your eye ? Yes - when mini coopers came out I started seeing many in Mpls. I thought they were cute but too close to the ground - this is MN and it snows. I asked someone during the winter how it was to drive in winter. As I suspected, roads have to be plowed to really be doable. I've also approached women that had that perfect hair cut.

Was their response:
Polite,they answered your question ? At first people seem startled but as soon as they realize you're not loony tunes they are friendly and helpful.

Bonus Question:

How many different magazines do you read each month ? 4

Do you have a subscription or do you buy them at the store ? Never buy them in a store

Extra Credit Question:

Ok fess up !!
How many of our QOTD family wants to put up their Christmas tree now ? Me Me Me! I heard a short Christmas commercial on TV and the music got me going. I'll wait til the day after Turkey Day (maybe )

Whats the earliest you have put your tree up ? I started the week before Thanksgiving because I wasn't having it here - but if I go all out with the decorating, it takes several days to finish. This year will be time to part with some of it in prep for moving.

Enjoy your weekend!!

Whats the earliest you have put your tree up ? We always put it up the day after Thanksgiving - that way we avoid lines and get first pick plus I really get full enjoyment for my money by having it up an entire month. I have a ton of homemade Christmas decorations that were my Grandmother's gift to me year after year so it is a time to remember her as well.
