"They" say there is no such thing as a "Dumb or stupid Questions"
Well "they" might change their mind because I have been asked these 1. Are you working in your yard today? (Asked by neighbor who's watching me do so!) How hard is it to keep a straight face when someone asks you something like this?...
2. Do you want any help? (DS as he's watching me move a 250 lb piece of driftwood on my own!)
3. What's the matter, did your car die? (From stranger on a huge bridge, during rush hour. "NO, the view from here is spectacular today, just thought I'd stop and get a better look!!!" Okay, I feel guilty about that one though, because bless his ever lovin' heart, he blocked traffic behind me, so that I could roll my car back down off the bridge til hubby could get there and tow me to his shop! ....still, yeah...ummm of COURSE my car died!! Crap! LOL
Extra Credit Question:
Do you prefer: Red or white wine ? Oh neither...they both give me heartburn Cake or cookies ? Depends entirely on my mood A summer or winter vacation ? Summer, usually...winter, if I could go someplace warmer! Salad or Dessert ? Another one that depends on my mood. hehe...I'll say both! I love salad! A screaming child or barking dogs ? OMG..neither. My first thought tends to be "duct tape", when dealing with either one. LOL Both of these sounds stress me out, terribly. Okay, if I HAVE to choose, I'd say I can take a barking dog longer than I can take a screaming child.
Inquiring Minds Question:
When you log on your computer,which do you do first Turn on tower ? Yep, this one. Turn on monitor ?
Bonus Question:
When you shower do you wash your hair: First ? Yep, this one...condition hair while I'm washing everything else. or Last ?
Just for Fun:
Are you a Jigsaw Puzzle fan ? Not so much anymore. I used to be a huge jigsaw puzzle fan. I just don't have the patience anymore!

Are you a Jigsaw Puzzle fan ? Yes. We have a 10,000 piece puzzle we never finished. Once we are retired we will pick a permanent location for it and work until it is done. We took two 3 foot by 8 foot tables and put them next to each other and it just barely fit.

Hoping for Rain Day Great! How about the tornadoes coming through?
National Etiquette Day A forgotten day, for sure.
Bloggle
Just saw the news. Craziness prevails.
A young man died in a car accident, and a young woman may not survive. The driver is okay. This because he decided to drive away instead of paying for gas. A chase ensued.
A sports coach was arrested for driving the team to a game while under the influence. She tested at .21 percent.
A man blew through a stop sign on a school bus, killed a 7 year old girl and kept going. He was arrested and released. Charges are pending. Excuse me?
Just another day of insanity in the Heartland....
And on another note: All that flooding? We are at the beginning of rain, possibly heavy, until Sunday. Here we go again.
Today's Question(s): "They" say there is no such thing as a "Dumb or stupid Questions" Well "they" might change their mind because I have been asked these
Everyone's entitled to ask a dumb question now and then.
Extra Credit Question: Do you prefer: Red or white wine ? Don't drink wine. Cake or cookies ? Cake is for more special occasions, birthdays, etc. A summer or winter vacation ? I'd like a summer vacation at a remote northern lake and a winter vacation at the beach. Thanks! Salad or Dessert ? In an ideal world, dessert. A screaming child or barking dogs ? Gotta find out what the child is screaming about. I'm sometimes more annoyed by parents apologizing for or telling their kids to be quiet. Find out what the problem is. Kid's don't cry or scream for no reason, even if it's just because they're scared.
Inquiring Minds Question: When you log on your computer,which do you do first
Turn on tower
Bonus Question: When you shower do you wash your hair:
First - what's left of it.

Hoping for Rain Day Hoping for dry, myself.
Today's Question(s): "They" say there is no such thing as a "Dumb or stupid Questions" Well "they" might change their mind because I have been asked this: 1. The quintessential stupid question to ask someone in a business office: when you tell a caller that so-and-so is on another line, the caller will ask, "How long is he going to be?" Well, I'll just get out my crystal ball and determine that for you, twit!
Oh, yeah.... That brought back a memory from way back in the day, when I had my first sort of professional job.
It was a small office, only four of us, and the three of us who weren't the company owner would all take turns answering the phone. By far the vast majority of the calls - as many as a dozen or more in a day - were from the owner's wife, and we'd make bets each day about how often she'd call and how long she'd talk each time.
Well, Mr. Bossman was a pretty hen-pecked fellow, and didn't have the courage to tell his demanding wife that he really didn't want to listen to her gripe about the maid and gossip about the neighbors for hours on end, so his favorite form of escape was to take a book or magazine or newspaper and disappear for an extended period of time into the men's room. Which in turn often led to the following dialog:
Me: "_____ Company, may I help you?"
Mrs. Bossman, "This is Ethel and I need to talk to Roscoe right away!"
Me: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Bossman, but Mr. Bossman is away from his desk at the moment."
Mrs. Bossman: "Is he in the crapper again??"
Me: "Um....."
Mrs. Bossman: "Well, how much longer is going to be in there?"
Me: "Um...."
Mrs. Bossman: "Well, don't just stammer at me, go bang on the door and ask him!"

Didn't see this until just now, MBW. Hilarious!!!!!!!
I haven't been down to this part of CD in years. I think I should show up more often, this is GREAT stuff!
I worked in tech support for years, so you can imagine how many stupid questions I've heard, not to mention I've been on City-Data in the states area trying to help for a few years, too.
Yes, how long will it take to fix something and other related questions take the cake.
On CD, recently, a teacher asked how far one city was to another. Wow. Try Google maps or other assorted programs. And while we are at it, I'll make sure you are not my child's teacher!
MidwesternBookWorm, great stuff! Anyway, thanks for the much needed laughs.

Okay, if I HAVE to choose, I'd say I can take a barking dog longer than I can take a screaming child. 
It's hoping for warmth and SUN day here!
