Have a great weekend! KKate ! Nice job!
Happy Saturday everyone. Here are today's random questions for your entertainment.
* Do you have franchise restaurant like Chili's or Applebee's in your community? If so, which one is it and what's your favorite meal there? No one franchise that's special, I enjoy a wide variety of foods so we spread out to different places. Mostly enjoy the local restaurants over national franchises.
* Who is your favorite actor or actress? What show or movies did you enjoy that they were in?
George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington.
* Do you subscribe to any streaming services like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime? If so, what are some of your favorite shows? No, there's enough stuff on tv (satellite dish) to watch & local tv broadcasts that I don't need to pay for the other services.
*If your car got a flat tire, could you change it? Do you know where the jack is in your car? Do you have a spare wheel? Is it inflated? Yes I could change it, however that's something I'd rather avoid these days. Normally when I walk up to the car I'll pay attention to if a tire looks like it's getting now on air and avoid having a flat. This has saved me several times in the past; dad taught me to do that.
* What have you done with all of your old photos? I just started working at getting the boxes out and going through them. I've started discarding the bad shots or duplicates and when I finish I'll copy them into digital forum to store on the computer.
* Do you have a garden -- flower or vegetable? If so, what do you enjoy most about gardening? No garden here, it's too darn hot and sunny as well the soil in the yard is very poor for growing.
* Do you have a local newspaper? If so, do you subscribe? Yes there is a local paper but I don't subscribe to it.
* Are you planning a vacation this year? If so, where will you go? Nothing planned yet for this year, however I might take a short trip driving in the state. The June trip to the Mediterranean was cancelled for this year and moved to next year if things go well.

Happy Saturday everyone. Here are today's random questions for your entertainment.
* Do you have franchise restaurant like Chili's or Applebee's in your community? If so, which one is it and what's your favorite meal there? Many. My favorite is Outback Steakhouse.
* Who is your favorite actor or actress? What show or movies did you enjoy that they were in? I do not have a favorite. I no longer watch current Hollyweird productions. My favorites are all dying off now, including Brian Dennehy as of yesterday.
* Do you subscribe to any streaming services like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime? If so, what are some of your favorite shows? No.
*If your car got a flat tire, could you change it? Do you know where the jack is in your car? Do you have a spare wheel? Is it inflated? No, that is why I have AAA. I may have a donut, I did in my last car.
* What have you done with all of your old photos? Packed away in moving boxes from multiple moves years ago. This is a chore I have to get to.
* Do you have a garden -- flower or vegetable? If so, what do you enjoy most about gardening? No. My mother and middle sister were the "green thumbs" in the family. I will, however, take care of a flower bouquet, I can make one last a week or two. I love cut flowers.
* Do you have a local newspaper? If so, do you subscribe? Yes, and no, I do not. I do like to read the Sunday issue that I get from a friend, however. I don't like that newspapers have ink that gets all over my fingers and turns them filthy.
* Are you planning a vacation this year? If so, where will you go? Not this year, but perhaps next year. I have been doing some research on Israel, aka the Holy Land, but have not found a tour that "hit" me. I am now looking into Switzerland, which caught my attention and I have now done research on.

* Do you have franchise restaurant like Chili's or Applebee's in your community? If so, which one is it and what's your favorite meal there? We have an Applebee's here but rarely eat there. We prefer and support the smaller locally owned restaurants, especially during this paranoia virus
* Who is your favorite actor or actress? What show or movies did you enjoy that they were in? Can't say I really have a favorite
* Do you subscribe to any streaming services like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime? If so, what are some of your favorite shows? I have Disney+ on my roku. Been enjoying what I call the MR. Walt Disney movies, those Walt produced before his death. Not the remakes. But Togo was good! On my roku, and I think I may have mentioned this on here before, but I've been enjoying old TV shows. I've watched the first seasons of the Dick Van Dyke Show, Bonanza, and Dragnet, plus a few others. I've got 60 or so channels of movies that don't cost me a penny.
*If your car got a flat tire, could you change it? Yup
Do you know where the jack is in your car? Yup
Do you have a spare wheel? Is it inflated? Yup and yup. Hate those emergency spares

* Do you have a garden -- flower or vegetable? If so, what do you enjoy most about gardening? Not any more
* Do you have a local newspaper? If so, do you subscribe? Well they call it a newspaper. Takes about 10 minutes to read it and that includes working the crossword puzzle

* Do you have franchise restaurant like Chili's or Applebee's in your community? If so, which one is it and what's your favorite meal there?
I like Smashburger (grilled chicken with jalapeños sandwich), Taco Cabana (there are several things I like).
* Who is your favorite actor or actress? What show or movies did you enjoy that they were in?
I don’t really follow actors. I just go for which movies appeal to me.
* Do you subscribe to any streaming services like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime? If so, what are some of your favorite shows?
Netflix: Stranger Things, Black Mirror
Disney+: Imagineering Story
Amazon Prime: I’ve been rewatching the original Roseanne series but I haven’t looked into any of Amazon’s originals.
*If your car got a flat tire, could you change it? Do you know where the jack is in your car? Do you have a spare wheel? Is it inflated?
No sadly. Those are good skills to have.
* What have you done with all of your old photos?
Boxes, hard drive.
* Do you have a garden -- flower or vegetable? If so, what do you enjoy most about gardening?
I’ve actually gotten really into gardening since the lock down. I made a little container garden using only things from my kitchen since I can’t really get out and shop for plants. So I’ve planted green onions, pinto and lima beans, bell peppers and jalapeños. A cluster of tomato plants came up voluntarily in my yard (guess I threw a bad one in the grass) and they’re doing really well; I’ve already picked a couple of tomatoes. I’ve also gotten cuttings from some flowering plants that I had already and relocated them to other areas as well as planting some flower seeds from scratch. So far most everything is doing well.
* Do you have a local newspaper? If so, do you subscribe?
I don’t subscribe.
* Are you planning a vacation this year? If so, where will you go?
No. Even if I did I can’t think that far ahead. So much uncertainty and weird stuff going on. I want my old boring life back.
Happy Saturday everyone. Here are today's random questions for your entertainment.
* Do you have franchise restaurant like Chili's or Applebee's in your community? If so, which one is it and what's your favorite meal there? In my town, we have Applebee's, Outback, Calhoun's, Waffle House, Shoney's, IHOP, McAllister's, Panda Express, Red Lobster and Aubrey's off the top of my head and in addition to the usual burger, sandwich, Chinese and Mexican places that are fast food places. They are chain restaurants but are they franchises? I don't know. Of the above, I eat at Outback the most. They do take out and delivery even when we aren't hiding from a virus.
* Who is your favorite actor or actress? What show or movies did you enjoy that they were in? My current favorite is Jacob Pitts, a working actor, who was a regular cast member in 6 seasons of Justified, my favorite TV show of all-time, and who has done Law & Order, Law & Order SVU, The Sinner, Sneaky Pete, Person of Interest, Elementary, The Pacific (WWII mini series on HBO), the movie Eurotrip, the movie 21, among other things,and this past weekend I saw him in an old TV movie called "We Were the Mulvaneys" playing Blythe Danner's and Beau Bridge's son. Old favorites are Humphrey Bogart, Kurt Russell, Gregory Peck, Clint Eastwood and Robert Patrick.
* Do you subscribe to any streaming services like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime? If so, what are some of your favorite shows? Amazon Prime - Favorite was 3 seasons of Sneaky Pete with Bryan Cranston, Giovanni Rubisi, Margo Martindale and the afore mentioned Jacob Pitts.
*If your car got a flat tire, could you change it? Do you know where the jack is in your car? Do you have a spare wheel? Is it inflated? I could not even lift the tire out of trunk and can't squat down or kneel down. I would call AAA. When I take my car in to the dealership regularly, and before every road trip, it's one of the things they check. Have an appointment a week from Monday.
* What have you done with all of your old photos? How old? You mean "hardcopy" ones? The wedding photos are in a wedding album, the favorite photos are in 2 other separate albums in a box in a closet and the old but still digital ones are on CDs I got with the hardcopy ones. A few are on my desk in frames. Anything after 2008 is on my computer, on two external hard drives and also backed up on an outside commercial server. My sister has all of the family photos except for a handful she gave me that are framed and propped up on my desk.
* Do you have a garden -- flower or vegetable? No. If so, what do you enjoy most about gardening? N/A.
* Do you have a local newspaper? Yes. If so, do you subscribe? I subscribe to the digitized version, only.
* Are you planning a vacation this year? If so, where will you go? Sore subject. I still haven't canceled or postponed my May photography trip to Delaware waiting to see the Delaware governor's next move but since that governor is going postal on out of state license plates (all will be stopped by the police and be required to spend 14 days in quarantine) until May 15, looks like the answer is "I don't know if a vacation is in the cards this year." Guess the tourist industry is not one he's looking to, to fix his economy. I spend my entire trip in the wildlife refuge (it's open) in my car on an auto loop taking photos or driving around taking photos of barns from my car. I order delivery at night (or I could bring food with me), don't eat breakfast anywhere or congregate in the lobby or anyplace else. Can't schedule it for another time until I know his plans for out-of-state visitors but I sure as **** know I'm not spending any time quarantined in another state while paying for a hotel and there are 2 other states, I will have to pass through to get there. Who knows what their governors plan to do? I go the time of year I go, for a reason (particular birds, lack of swarms of mosquitoes and no kids home from school). Other than gas, fast food drive-thrus, and the desk clerk, I don't come in contact with anyone. Plus, I'm coming from a Tennessee county that has had only 15 cases total, 1 death and 11 recovered. So right now, April 18, we have only 3 current cases in the entire county. The adjacent county (my town straddles 2 counties) has had 7 cases, 6 recovered and 0 deaths, so 1 current case. I have gloves and enough masks to take with me.
Sorry for the rant but I'm a planner and don't like uncertainty.
* Do you have franchise restaurant like Chili's or Applebee's in your community? If so, which one is it and what's your favorite meal there? None in my community. The only time we go to a restaurant is when we are traveling. With that--I try to go to local independent places.

*If your car got a flat tire, could you change it? Do you know where the jack is in your car? Do you have a spare wheel? Is it inflated? Would have no idea how to change it. I know where the jack is, I do have a spare. My tires are in good shape. Last flat, my husband drove 30 minutes to where I was to change it.

* Who is your favorite actor or actress? What show or movies did you enjoy that they were in? It's hard to say because I have so many.
