What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know?
Hmm!! havent been on that many formal dates. I did meet my DH at his hotel one time when he was in town. We never made it to dinner
Have you ever really counted sheep to get to sleep?
No...that seems like to much work when I am trying to go back to sleep. I have to picture the sheep "and" count, lol.
If not, what do you do to get to sleep that you can tell us about?
I toss and turn until I can't stand it anymore...then I get up and read in the living room.
How do you like your eggs?
Scrambled soft but not runny.
What do you want with them?
Ketchup and salt always...and once in awhile I like to break up pieces of bacon in them...yum.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag?
Birdseed. The mice were stealing the birdseed from our feeder and hiding it in our motorhome.
Wonderful picture. Thank you Lamplight. And thank you bjh for the QOD.
Today's Question: What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know?
I married my high school sweetheart and divorced him twenty years later. A friend commented that it must be odd as I'd not been without someone since my teens..... I decided to stay single for a while and found I liked it, so dating for me is ancient history.
Bonus Question: Have you ever really counted sheep to get to sleep? No
If not, what do you do to get to sleep that you can tell us about?
I don't usually have trouble getting to sleep.....It's staying asleep that's the problem & nothing helps with that. My mother used to count backwards by 3s.
Foodie Question: How do you like your eggs?
In an omelet with cheese, onions, peppers, mushrooms.... Or sometimes hard boiled and cut up in a salad. Just for fun: What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag? My parents used to vacuum their dog. He loved it!
Beautiful picture, Lamplight!
My day will be spent with my granddaughters. Berry picking, some time at the pool & a concert on the green tonight. Have a great day, all!
What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know?
~ I had a date and we were riding along on my motorcycle and a cop pulled us over for going too fast.
As the cop was talking with me on the side of the rode, this girl started telling me off for getting us pulled over. The cop looked at her and said, "You're Italian, aren't you"? "Yes, I am", she replied.
At that point the cop looked back at me and said, "you go ahead now and go wherever you're going. You've got enough problems already". No ticket, nothin'.

What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag?
~ I was on a paint job by myself. There was a nest, swarming with big wasps up on the soffitt.
....hehehe....boldly springing into action........I grabbed a big industrial shop-vac and carried it up a step ladder and jammed the nozzle end, real fast, over the nest. I held it in place for perhaps 30 seconds and then I quickly came down off of the ladder and sucked up lots of sand into the vacuum so that it would render the rotten bastards unflyable! ....it worked like a charm!

Mornin' all! We finally got some good rain up here in Northwest Indiana. Yay! I just wish the rest of the country cold get all the rain it needs.
Today's Question: What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know? Afriend's boyfriend once brought her 8 roses. Eight?!?!?!
Bonus Question: Have you ever really counted sheep to get to sleep? I have tried it on a few occasions.
If so, did it work? Not so far.
If not, what do you do to get to sleep that you can tell us about? I usually get into a mode of thinking about something pleasant. As much as I want to stay awake thinking about it, the pleasantness relaxes me and I fall asleep.
Foodie Question: How do you like your eggs? Yes! I love eggs! My two favorite ways to eat them are hard boiled with nothing on them, or fried with a soft yolk for dipping. And fried eggs are best with crispy brown edges. None of those perfectly pristine white fried eggs like they show on TV for me!
What do you want with them? Ifthey're fried, I want hash burnts with onions, soy bacon (the kind in the green box), and toast with butter and blackberry preserves. Hmmm...I think I know what's for breakfast this morning!
Just for fun: What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag? I slipped a nylon over the hose to find my hard contact lens. Worked like a charm!
