Today's Question:
What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know?
I had a New Year's Eve date once with someone who had a cast on his leg. That's not really funny or odd, is it?
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 used to tell my co-workers who complained about not being able to sleep to take their manuals home and read them in bed. They'd be out by the second page. Me, I just don't go to sleep until I'm tired.
Foodie Question:
How do you like your eggs?
fried and over - no goop I don't eat eggs at home, ever.
What do you want with them?
toast and bacon
Just for fun:
What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag?
A dust ball that looked like Elvis.
Nah, nothing weird.

Today's Question:
What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know? I cannot think of anything that stands out as odd in my dating experience but a friend was sharing recently about a date she had with a guy she met online. On their very first (and only) date, this guy proceeded to get really emotional and starting sobbing about his prior relationship ... My friend basically had to assume the role of counselor
Bonus Question: Have you ever really counted sheep to get to sleep? No
If so, did it work?
If not, what do you do to get to sleep that you can tell us about? I count cute guys with sexy buns
Foodie Question: How do you like your eggs? Boiled, scrambled, eggs benedict and inside a McDonald's Egg McMuffin
What do you want with them? Orange juice
Just for fun: What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag? What's a "vacuum"????

My friend went out to dinner to meet her daughter a date (just a guy who liked the daughter, but the daughter wasn't interested). However, when the guy met the mother they really had a connection- so much so, the guy decided to stop pursuing the daughter and pursue the mother. Now it is a big joke between them. It is weird the guy switched up like that.
Bonus Question:
Have you ever really counted sheep to get to sleep? yes
If so, did it work? I guess it was fine but it is much better if I recite my favorite hymnal/ passage.
Foodie Question:
How do you like your eggs? fried over hard w/ no yellow mushy.
What do you want with them? toast cheese and tomato
Just for fun:
What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag? N/A
Love and Peace

If not, what do you do to get to sleep that you can tell us about? Check out what's happening in c-d land, watch tv, read or sing "99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall."
Foodie Question:
How do you like your eggs? I don't eat eggs
What do you want with them? Hold the eggs but I'll have some hash browns and sausage.

okay. okay, rainroosty. I won't underline the date. Thanks for the questions , bjh
Welcome to the Thursday QOTD! I hope your week has been a good one.
Today's Question:
What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know?
Hmmmmmm. I think when I brought my then little boy along on a date & the guy told me that I must have a deep deep problem if I did not want to be alone with him (which was true).
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? This is frowned upon in all sleep manuals, but I fall asleep watching whatever is on at 10:00 p.m. Then I have the craziest dreams because usually I am watching The Investigation Discovery Channel.
Foodie Question:
How do you like your eggs? I never eat eggs. There is just something creepy about them.
FINALLY ..... I am younger than CIRCUS MAXIMUS

Today's Question: What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know? That would have been the time the night watchman reported me for sneaking out of the girls dorm after hours. Actually I was helping my date sneak back into her dorm. However the night watchman's version sounded so much better so I refused to deny it.
Bonus Question: Have you ever really counted sheep to get to sleep? I have
If so, did it work? Don't know. I keep falling asleep before I finish counting the sheep.
If not, what do you do to get to sleep that you can tell us about?
Foodie Question: How do you like your eggs? First you crack 2 eggs into a bowl. Next add a little salt and pepper. Put a few drops of hot sauce in. Stir well and pour down the garbage disposel. I DO NOT EAT CHICKEN BUTT PRODUCTS!!!!!
What do you want with them? Just about anything but more eggs.
Just for fun: What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag? I think I can safely say I am not into vacuuming weird things. As far as digging thru the contents of vacuum cleaner bags, I am not one to go vacuum cleaner bag diving. I have yet to ever lose any sleep wondering what might be inside my vacuum bag.
I was living in Washington when Mt St. Helens erupted. All of the radio stations went to 24 hour emergancy brodcast. Of course they did not have anywhere near enough material to justify 24 hour emergancy brodcasting so they started having call in shows where people could call and ask for advice on dealing with the ash that was falling on them. Wouldn't you know it...a Kirby vacuum salesman called in and volunteered to demostrate the vacuum by vacuuming the ash from your lawn

Today's Question: What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know?
I once went out with a woman from work to see Raiders of the Lost Ark. The woman turned out to be twice my age. A weird lady in line for the movie followed us to our seats and sat directly in front of us and kept turning around during the movies to look at us.
Bonus Question: Have you ever really counted sheep to get to sleep? No, that's just too weird. I am not australian or texan.
If so, did it work? NO!
If not, what do you do to get to sleep that you can tell us about? I just close my eyes and stop thinking. Don't think about sports or fighting. It's easier to go to sleep that way.
Foodie Question: How do you like your eggs? Fried or scrambled.
What do you want with them? sausage, bacon, tators, you name it. In a tortilla too.
Just for fun: What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag? Nothing weirder than looking in a vacuum bag to see what was vacuumed.

Today's Question: What's the funniest or oddest thing that's ever happened on a date for you or someone you know? I'd have to give it some thought.
Bonus Question: Have you ever really counted sheep to get to sleep? Nope! Not exactly! If so, did it work? Doubt it.....then again.. If not, what do you do to get to sleep that you can tell us about?
Foodie Question: How do you like your eggs? Over easy but just about anyway is good.
What do you want with them? Bacon, sausage, toast or biscuits, and jam/jelly ...grits as an extra bonus.
Just for fun: What's the weirdest thing you've ever vacuumed or found in the vacuum bag? the cat!
