Cloudy and 106 in the NV desert today. According to the forecast, we may even have a few showers and a thunderstorm .
Today’s Question(s):
Have you ever used one of those e-readers like the Nook or the Kindle? Nope.
Would you (or did you) buy one for yourself? I have an Android tablet that could be used as an e-reader, but I don't have wireless internet, so can't download books at home.
How about for someone else? Perhaps I'd buy one of the cheaper ones as a gift for a grandchild.
When was the last time you got the credit or the blame for something that someone else did? Can't remember this happening.
It’s International Left-Handers Day! Are you a southpaw? Why yes I am!
Is anyone in your family left-handed? I'm the only one in a generation or two.
What is the longest time you’ve ever gone without taking a shower or bath? Just a couple of days when I was hospitalized.
Good Monday morning, all, and welcome to another week! I hope your weekend was restful and fun, and that you are starting the week full of energy and enthusiasm.
And speaking of starting the week, thanks for stopping by the daily Question thread to start your week with:

I take one everyday, sometimes twice a day. I never miss.
The longest time between showers in my recent memory is about 36 hours.

Today’s Question(s):
Have you ever used one of those e-readers like the Nook or the Kindle? Nope
If so, what did you like about it?
What did you dislike about it? I'm concerned about the E-readers being too hard on the eyes
Would you (or did you) buy one for yourself? Not unless I had no other options ... I prefer paperbacks
How about for someone else? Maybe

Why did you wait so long between ablutions? I had a time, about 6 mos after Nancy died, that I did not want to do anything. I wandered through the house dirty and naked (getting dressed was too much work) like a hermit for about 2 mos. Thanks to good friends, a great pastor, a shrink and meds I'm OK now.
