Today's Question(s):

When was the last time you said or wanted to say "Not Helping !!!" ?
Very frequently...when my hubby makes dumb jokes when I'm in the middle of something that takes concentration and focus.

Bonus Question:

When was the last time you said or wanted to say "It's about time" ? Once again..blanker than a toy pistol!

Extra Credit Question:

For those that are single and for those when you were single what is or was a "Dating Deal Breaker" or "Turn off" ? lack of conversation on the date (silence) or an inflated ego! (annoying) Cheapness was also a biggy!!1

Just for Fun:

Do any of our QOTD family have any New Years Day Traditions ?

No, I do not have any New Years Day traditions.

I have to defend my fellow mechanics. People who do not make their living with their hands have no idea important feel is. A surgeon has a nurse slap a tool into his hand. Nobody slaps a 1/8" set screw into a mechanic's hand. He has to find it. Then after you find it you need to get it turned so you can insert it in the right direction. Frequently this is done without being able to see the screw. Constant use also makes a mechanic's skin tougher. Add gloves to this and some tasks become very difficult. So please excuse our sometimes dirty fingernails.

When was the last time you said or wanted to say "Not Helping !!!"? Yesterday while shopping in Menards with my hubster. I have a plan of attack, and he's bouncing around the store like a kid on junk food!

When was the last time you said or wanted to say "It's about time"? I said it Christmas Day! A certain person actually, finally, never thought I would ever see it... brought a dish to a family get-to-gether!

For those that are single and for those when you were single what is or was a "Dating Deal Breaker" or "Turn off"? Flirting with someone else like the bartender!

Do any of our QOTD family have any New Years Day Traditions? Trying to keep me awake long enough to say "Happy New Year"!

Today's Question(s):

When was the last time you said or wanted to say "Not Helping !!!" ? Daily. As the old saying goes, I help those that help theirselves! Can't stand when some lazy crybaby constantly asks for help! Sorry for the rant!

Bonus Question:

When was the last time you said or wanted to say "It's about time" ? When above people decide to do their own job!

Extra Credit Question:

For those that are single and for those when you were single what is or was a "Dating Deal Breaker" or "Turn off" ? Not being dependable, being lazy, sloppy, untrustworthy, a smoker,heavy drinker or doesn't like animals!!! Me thinks I am a bit picky!!! STUPIDITY will bring everything to a screaching halt. One date was so bad, I excused myself from the table and never returned. They said the person waited a good while for my return!

Just for Fun:

Do any of our QOTD family have any New Years Day Traditions ? We have a great one!! Called "sleeping in"".

Older son was here changing a half shaft on his car. It seems like he can't do anything without me helping.

Yikes I can not believe tomorrow is NYE !! 2009 just flew by
We are all another year older, another year wiser and it was another wonderful year spent with the terrific QOTD family !!! Ditto!

Today's Question(s):


When was the last time you said or wanted to say "Not Helping !!!" ? The time the remains permanently planted in my brain is when my mother sent my brother to Denver to help me move back to MN I won't go into detail here but my workload went way up and once again I had to put up with his rotten attitude. Never again~~~~~~

Bonus Question:

When was the last time you said or wanted to say "It's about time" ?


When it finally stopped snowing this past week. Oh no!! I just let the dogs out and it's snowing again - eeeeekkk!

Extra Credit Question:


For those that are single and for those when you were single what is or was a "Dating Deal Breaker" or "Turn off" ? Hmmmmm - I vote for many that others have mentioned but the absolute worst date I was ever on, and it was blind date, was one that a lady I worked with in Denver set up because "We would be absolutely PERFECT for one another". I was freshly divorced and not too keen on jumping back into the "game" just yet but I agreed. We (yes, she picked me up) met at a local bar. The entire evening was spent with the two of them talking about old times in Kansas. ALL night. If I tried to join the conversation I got a look like "What would you know about it". When we pulled into my driveway she said "Wasn't that fun - would you be interested in going out with him again? I could tell he likes you" NO! A few days later she said I intimidated him And that would be because??????????????????????

Just for Fun:

Do any of our QOTD family have any New Years Day Traditions ?Only that, it is a day when everyone does exactly as they please, which usually means, being extremely lazy - watching TV, reading, soaking in the tub - whatever.
