[quote=cloven;48006404]Happy Monday May 1, everybody-and welcome to QOTD.
Today’s Question:
Have you had a dental filling (or crown, etc.) fall out while you were sleeping ?
Yikes no.
Have you ever lost an item down the drain (of plumbing fixture-sink, bath, toilet) ? If so, was it retrievable ?
Not yet.
Have you found forgotten items (such as receipts or coins) in your pockets (of jacket or trousers)-weeks, months, even years later ?
Yes, but it's usually money.
Which do you own/wear more of, "solids" (each piece of clothing is a single color)-
or "stripes" (clothing with multicolored patterns & designs-incl. stripes, dots, flowers, tie-dye, etc.) ?
A mix of both. I went shopping with a friend on Satyrday and she picked out a pair of pants that looked like Grandma's carpet. I tried them on for a good laugh. There was no way those pants were coming home with me. I bought six tops, all solid colors. Extra Credit:
How many nights, (0—7) in an average week, do you feel like you have gotten “enough” sleep (feeling “rested” when you wake up) ?
Zero. I usually get broken sleep. Joe woke me up off of the couch at 330am because he needed to go out. It was raining and I always go out with them to keep Howie from eating something disgusting. I picked up Joe's mess right away. Then I had to clean up the kitchen and put a load of laundry in the drier. I usually get between 4 and 6 hours of sleep a night. It's not enough. Bonus:
Have you ever watched a televised “roast” (comedy event mocking a public figure) ?
Not usually but Trump's roast has been all over the media.
“Springfield” is a very common place-name in the U.S. Is there a “Springfield” city/town/county near you ? It's our capital but not close. I've never been there.
If you reside in the USA, does your locality have an area, street, or park (public place) named “Washington” ? Oh yes.
If you reside outside the US, do you know of a seemingly ubiquitous, frequently used & reused, place-name there ?
Just for Fun: Have you ever been inside a yurt (or structural derivative of that design) ? Not yet.
