Did your class have show and tell in school when you were in school? I don't remember having show and tell when young. It's now called "sharing time" at our elementary school. As a teacher I remember having to interrupt some of the sharing. Little ones will tell you more than you want or should know. It was sometimes hard to look a parent in the eye after their child had shared....
If CD had a show and tell gathering:
What would you "show"? I would bring my granddaughters. They are both adorable and very entertaining.Extra Credit Question(s):
Does/Did your family ever have a family game night? We didn't growing up, but have for several years now had weekly game nights. We play all sorts of games, mostly ones that start conversations and we never follow the rules. One of my sisters made a game she titled "Reminisce." The box is covered with pictures of family members. You shake a die and move around the board having to respond to prompts such as, "Tell a story about a vehicle we had." So, I might tell about the jeep we had & how my friend decided to teach me how to drive standard. My favorite prompt is titled "Fess up." I've learned a few things about my sibs with that one.
Have you ever participated in a trivia tournament of any kind? We used to play Trivial Pursuit, but only with friends and family.
Bonus Question:
Have you ever been interviewed for a news article or TV (anything but employment)? When I was a teen I was supposed to be interviewed at a TV station in Burlington about a 4-H project called "Know Your Town." We had spent months visiting businesses around town, interviewing people. We kept a binder with pictures and narratives about our visits. So, anyway... my sibs went to Burlington. I did not because just before the interview I fell from my horse & broke my wrist.

What are your feelings towards leaf blowers? I can see both sides. I will say that I'm glad to live in the country where there are no rules as there are in some communities. My younger daughter went to school in a town where people had rules about what they could do with their property. I think they spent more on their lawns than.... well. I'm just glad to live where I do.
Did your class have show and tell in school when you were in school? I think so
If you participated, what did you present? Geez! I started 1st grade in '62. Don't really remember if I took anything or not. lol
If CD had a show and tell gathering:
What would you "show"? I haven't the foggiest idea.
What would you tell us about it?
Extra Credit Question(s):
Does/Did your family ever have a family game night? My wife and I do 2 or 3 times a week.
What games did you play? We turn on the Wii, get in 18 holes of golf, maybe some table tennis, then bowl 3 or 4 games, both the 10 pin and 100 pin games and end up with a few rounds of tennis.
Have you ever participated in a trivia tournament of any kind? Nope
Did you win anything?
Bonus Question:
Have you ever been interviewed for a news article or TV (anything but employment)? Yup
For what? I was a "Storm Team Spotter" for a local TV station where I used to live. I'd call or email in my weather and sometimes they would call us and talk to us on the air during the weather report. Plus, working in the office at the state highway department, I would get calls and talk on the air about road conditions every now and then. Completely Unrelated Question(s):
What are your feelings towards leaf blowers? I saw the same story on HLN about a month or so ago. I think these people are crazy! These workers they are whining about are trying to make a living, cleaning parking lots, getting rid of leaves, etc. If the City Idiots ban the blowers, what's next? These clowns going to have rakes banned for all the noise they make pushing the leaves into piles to get rid of them? Somebody posted that pretty soon burning leaves would be banned. Sorry to say it already has! Which is VERY stupid!
Did your class have show and tell in school when you were in school? Sure
If you participated, what did you present? Don't remember anything specific.
If CD had a show and tell gathering:
What would you "show"? Bird photos? My drawings? Sacred objects? Mementos? Geeky things around the house?
What would you tell us about it? Standard stuff: a history of how I obtained it would definitely be involved, and why it is important to me. Extra Credit Question(s):
Does/Did your family ever have a family game night? No
What games did you play?
Have you ever participated in a trivia tournament of any kind? I love trivia, butI don't do well at all under stress. I have a history of embarrassing myself with really stupid answers at crucial moments (think elementary school spelling bee).
Did you win anything?
Bonus Question:
Have you ever been interviewed for a news article or TV (anything but employment)? Many times, for both newspaper and online show.
For what? I'm one of the local "go-to" people for my non-mainstream religion, because I can afford any backlash (never had any actually [not obviously anyway]). Completely Unrelated Question(s):
Did your class have show and tell in school when you were in school? - Ehh.. I don't have any class...
If CD had a show and tell gathering:
What would you "show"? - Hmmm.. nah, I can't do that, I might get arrested... Seriously, I'm not much of a Show and Teller, but I'll probably show the ammunition reloading equipment.
What would you tell us about it? - How to load/reload very accurate ammunition and save a lot of money, it's one of my hobbies.
Bonus Question:
Have you ever been interviewed for a news article or TV (anything but employment)? - Not really... but I was on Cops one time... Does that count? - Just kidding, I was never on Cops, and I've never been interviewed for a news item.
I think the whole thing is Blown out of proportion.. Leaf Blowers are essential tools, and for those who have an issue with them, let them go out there and pick up the leaves themselves. Here's one solution, there are ear plugs that can be used to significantly reduce the noise.
There's apparently a nationwide uproar over leaf blowers (see video below).
What are your feelings towards leaf blowers?
I cordially despise them. What is so darn hard about using a rake, anyway???
MBW, rakes are okay if the area to be raked is small, but if you have a large area with leaves scattered all over the place, using a rake is cumbersome and the task can take many hours or days.
What are your feelings towards leaf blowers?
I'm not a fan of blowers. It isn't the noise that bothers me so much as I think raking leaves is something to be encouraged. It gets people to exercise more, and also tend to make neighbors socialize more.
Did your class have show and tell in school when you were in school? yes
If you participated, what did you present? the only thing I remember was a book I really, really liked.
If CD had a show and tell gathering:
What would you "show"? my kitty
What would you tell us about it? "She has one blue eye and one green eye."
Extra Credit Question(s):

What games did you play? ten-penny is a favorite
Have you ever participated in a trivia tournament of any kind? no
