"Hello out there in television land...."......(Ed Norton)
'tis Friday once again and I hope you are all well and happy today!


~ You find a box on a table in your home. It's dimensions are about 2 feet by 2 feet.
What do you wish is inside the box?


~ Today you get to ride around in one of those battery powered sit-down carts like they have in the supermarket. It has an unlimited battery power and a basket on the front.

Where would you like to drive it around?

What would you like to have in the basket?


~ What was the best concert that you've ever been to? (Up to 3 answers)


~ Did you ever play with an electric train set or an electric race car set?


~ Make a wish for what you would like for a free lunch today - anything you want from anywhere at all!


*** HappyWishes for you all! This weekend will bring you some good luck! ***

Hmmm...This could be a trick question. I notice rainroosty did not give the third dimension. The box might only be 1 inch high and whatever I pick would look like it was run over by a steam roller to make it flat enough to fit in the box. On the chance the box is higher than an inch or two I will go with a new fully loaded laptop computer. Feel free to use 100 dollar bills for packing around the computer.

Let's see now...It is Black Friday. The stores will be crowded. Add one each Alaskan Mutt all hopped up on beer and stinky cheese driving around in a powered cart. This is going to be fun. Might as well make it a large mall. That way I will have more people to run into with the cart.

What would you like to have in the basket?
Beer and stinky cheese.


~ What was the best concert that you've ever been to? (Up to 3 answers)
1.Many years ago when I lived in Sitka Alaska several world class classical musicians would come there for a month. They would put on two formal concerts a week. During the day time they would have jam sessions that the public could attend for free.


~ Did you ever play with an electric train set or an electric race car set?
I had an electric train set. Always wanted to play with an electric race car set.


~ Make a wish for what you would like for a free lunch today - anything you want from anywhere at all!
A reuben sandwich is sounding pretty good right about now.

Good morning!

~ You find a box on a table in your home. It's dimensions are about 2 feet by 2 feet.
What do you wish is inside the box? Money!


~ Today you get to ride around in one of those battery powered sit-down carts like they have in the supermarket. It has an unlimited battery power and a basket on the front.
Won't happen today. Too many people at the store!




~ What was the best concert that you've ever been to? It's hard to answer. I haven't been to that many concerts, and I enjoyed them all...


~ Did you ever play with an electric train set or an electric race car set? I think I played with an electric F1 race car set with my brother, many moons ago!


~ Make a wish for what you would like for a free lunch today - anything you want from anywhere at all!

Judging by the heat it's putting out, I think my computer may be on the way out... so perhaps there's room in the box for a new one, together with a nice big monitor!

~ Today you get to ride around in one of those battery powered sit-down carts like they have in the supermarket. It has an unlimited battery power and a basket on the front.
We don't have those in our supermarkets, just regular shopping carts, so I'd be the centre of attention if I drove around in one!

Where would you like to drive it around?
I'd use it for a regular run between home and the nearest shops, which are slightly too far to walk to, but not far enough to be healthy for the car battery.

What would you like to have in the basket?
Hugh Jackman!

~ What was the best concert that you've ever been to? (Up to 3 answers)
Oh gosh, so many over the years. I'll vote for the first one I ever went to... The Beatles, back in about 1963 (which featured four or five other Liverpool bands of the day, and cost the vast sum of 50 cents)! I'll also vote for Bette Midler (2005 I think), and Pavarotti (some time in the late 80s/early 90s). Can I go over the limit of three and give honourable mentions to Norah Jones, Dido, Rod Stewart, and the Rolling Stones.

~ Did you ever play with an electric train set or an electric race car set?
Yes both. They belonged to my brother, who wasn't keen on me getting into his train set, but needed me to race against with the Scalextric cars.

~ Make a wish for what you would like for a free lunch today - anything you want from anywhere at all! It's nearly bedtime Friday evening here - the thought of food right now isn't very appealing. Today I had lettuce and cucumber on a bread roll for lunch. If I can have anything I want for lunch tomorrow, I'll have Maine lobster thanks!

Thanks Rainroosty.

Have a relaxing post-Thanksgiving Day!

~ What was the best concert that you've ever been to? (Up to 3 answers) I've been to many concerts and it's hard to pick the best. Okay, I'll say The Rolling Stones,Rod Stewart and Bon Jovi.


~ Did you ever play with an electric train set or an electric race car set? Yes, when I was little.


~ Make a wish for what you would like for a free lunch today - anything you want from anywhere at all!I don't usually eat hamburgers anymore but years ago Rossi's down in the (Chambersburg) section of Trenton, NJ,made these awesome bacon burgers that I could definitely enjoy again. The burgers were huge! The steak fries were good too.


*** HappyWishes for you all! This weekend will bring you some good luck! ***


Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

What do you wish is inside the box? Keys to a lake house and $$$ to furnish and maintain it.

Where would you like to drive it around? I'm not interested in shopping today, so not sure. Somewhere quiet, away from the crazy crowds. Actually, after helping an older lady the other day who was riding one I don't think I'd want one, even for a day. There was no one with her, so she must have been able to get around on her own somewhat, but she couldn't reach the top shelves and then the battery went out on her in the middle of the store. In another store there was a really large woman riding one and ordering this poor man around in a loud & rude voice, not appreciative of anything he did.


~ What was the best concert that you've ever been to? (Up to 3 answers)
Yo-Yo Ma, a jam session with Elvin Jones, Sonny Rollins
Hard to choose only three.

~ Did you ever play with an electric train set or an electric race car set?
Many years ago.

~ Make a wish for what you would like for a free lunch today - anything you want from anywhere at all!
I'm still full from yesterday. Maybe a turkey, brie and cranberry sandwich.

*** Happy Wishes for you all! This weekend will bring you some good luck! *** And to you, rainroosty!

I will be spending the next three days with grandchildren. Today and Sunday I'll have Abbie, two years old. She's a corker, as my dad used to say. Tomorrow I'll be going to Santa's Land with my three little ones and maybe a great niece. My grandmother used to take me there, happy memories. So excited they decided to reopen even if it's just for a month. Enjoy your day, all!

Wow, only 3? I have been to so many concerts over the years. Any list I make I will leave many good times that I had out.

To name a few off the top ---

Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood (together) in 2009.
Both times I saw Mindy Smith, 2011 and 2012.
Elvis Costello and the Imposters, 2007 in a small club in DC. They played non-stop for 3 hours!

Sorry, I know that's 4!
