Good morning everyone
Happy Friday

Ok I or should I say "we" have a confession to make
"We" being me & Big Mike

A couple weeks ago we were joking how he always seems to be first to post and how it became a race
Well the "quirky always looking to mess around" side of me came out and I joked "I am going to send you a DM right before I hit submit" so you can be first and we can see if anyone figures it out

But today we decided before folks start "hunting us(especially him) down" we would let the "cat out of the bag"

So yup I was the instigator,but from now on it will be "let the race begin"

Well unless I decide to give the advantage to G.G


Today's Question(s)
While reading the daily posts I have seen folks say "yay I made it to page "zxy" and I looked and it was a different page number than I saw so I came to the conclusion that folks must have chosen different "view # of posts per page selections, so of course I have to ask

How many posts do you "view" per page ?


Bonus Question:

What do you call the thing you put groceries in
Shopping Cart ?
Cart ?

Trolley ?
Other ?

Does the store you frequent the most have
A cart corral you return the above mentioned to ?
or
You have to take it backup to the store ?

When shopping with your spouse or S/O, who pushes the above mentioned ?


Extra credit Question:

Woo hoo with some luck and "fast talking" I might be able to convince ________ to let me ________?

Use the Word of the Day in a sentence ? I'm a bit pothered because one of Shredder's eyes swelled up and think he has an infection, so we have a vet appointment at 10AM.


Today in History:
1783 - Montgolfier brothers launch 1st hot-air balloon, unmanned how did they land it
1789 - U.S. constitution goes into effect and now . . . sigh
1850 - Self deodorizing fertilizer patented in England
1896 - Henry takes his 1st Ford through streets of Detroit
1939 - Sylvan Goldman introduced the first grocery-store shopping cart in Oklahoma City, OK. The original shopping cart was actually a folding chair mounted on wheels. and OKC to boot! Course the original one sounds like a 'you know you're a redneck' joke

1977 - Apple II, the 1st personal computer, goes on sale

Word of the Day:

2. A state of nervous activity; a fuss. well Shredder's my 'other' baby so yeah, I'm pothered.

Today is:
National Cognac Day
National Cheese Day Cheddar please
Shopping Cart Day think it's going to be more of a cat carrier day
Salesman's Day though depends on what they're selling
Happy TGIF everyone. Now to get a bit of work done before I head down the hill with Shredder. Even did the vet a favor and clipped his front nails when he was laying around last night. There is a reason why that's his name, though usually it's because being a boy he plays rough with mom - my hands are proof of that.
