Today’s Questions:

When’s the last time you physically assembled/put together something, anything (could be furniture, but doesn’t have to be) ? I think it would be the security camera unit that required wiring and installing the cameras to the DVR unit, then wire the DVR unit to the PC router, after the physical work I needed to change settings and options to make everything work together. Other things around the house always require being disassembled and repaired, that's what I do more of these days.......

Do you keep cold/allergy symptom remedies (medications) on hand/around-such as decongestants, antihistamines, or cough syrup ? Yes.

How many sweatshirts and/or pairs of sweatpants do you own ? None, it's too much work working out..........................

How many of those have school or team names on them ? The school called and asked that I not wear them with their names on 'em.... and better if I would send 'em back to the school.

Which sorts of products (if any) do you buy “extra” of, stock up on-and/or buy in bulk ? Anything that is on sale I will buy several of. Seems the price always goes up so if it's on sale I buy extra and save them for later. My best bargain buy was finding a pair of shoes (high dollar ones) that went on sale for a unbelievable price; they had one pair in my size that I bought and when I went to another store I found the "other" pair of shoes that I bought. Two pairs that look exactly alike, one to wear and one for a spare. They are my favorite shoes and the FIRST time I found any that fit perfectly....... Nothing like saving near $200 bucks per pair!
