Today's Question(s):

What was your "why did I wait till the last minute" moment ? Switching out my landline phone for one of the better ones I have. Even though I knew it was getting ready to go kaput (not charging like it should) I waited until it died, fortunately at the end of a call so no biggie there. Just kills me because the good one with an answering machine was sitting right there waiting for me to just charge and hook it up.

Bonus Question:

Last time you said "Wow how did I miss that" ? My nieces birthday I have never, ever forgotten her birthday


Extra Credit Question:

Big deal.
