TODAY'S QUESTIONS

Do you have any baskets? If so, what do you store in them?
Two plastic laundry baskets and a metal miniature shopping cart basket. Nothing is stored in the laundry baskets and I have pens and pencils in the shopping cart here at my desk.

Facial tissues: do you prefer an oblong box or a cube box?
Oblong.

If you have a pile of magazines, where do you store them (e.g., in a box; on a shelf; on the floor; etc.)?
No magazines.

In your shower: is the shower head stationary or a removable hand-held one?
All stationary except for one in the RV.

Do you use lip balm?
Occasionally when I can find it.

When did you last use sunscreen?
At least 30 years ago.

Do you have a favorite brand of hand cream or lotion?
No favorites. Whatever is close by.

BONUS QUESTIONS

How have you been affected by the huge storm system that's sweeping most of the U.S.?
The worse has been frozen water pipes at night. No blackouts yet but the generator is ready to go.

The large wind turbines in the area are all shutdown as far as I can see. Too cold for them I guess?


Today is Fat Tuesday. Will you be eating any Paczkis?
No and no King Cakes either since leaving New Orleans.

If you have no clue what a Paczki is, what sweet treat might you have today instead?
Ice cream.

Name one or a couple of your favorite things about spring.
Heat, greenery, ice in a glass not in your water pipes and did I mention heat?

Are you hoping to travel out of your area in 2021? Where would you most like to go?
We've been wanting to travel to Mount Rushmore but no plans yet.

Thanks Pam for the questions on this very cold Tuesday morning.

Just for the record, I really really dislike the cube tissue boxes! I find that when I pull out a tissue towards the end of the box, the whole darn box comes up in my hand!

TODAY'S QUESTIONS
Do you have any baskets? If so, what do you store in them? Yes. I have a Longaberger basket on display in my kitchen, and have one that is an Easter basket.

Facial tissues: do you prefer an oblong box or a cube box? Either/or, but when I buy in a multi pack it is usually the cubes. And only Puffs. I have lived long enough to have tried all the brands. A complaint about the cubes.....years ago at craft shows I bought 3 holiday crocheted tissue box "cozies" for cubes, tried to use them last year and they no longer fit today's cube tissue boxes, they are now too small to fit.

If you have a pile of magazines, where do you store them (e.g., in a box; on a shelf; on the floor; etc.)? No piles. I recycle or pass them on. I have also donated to the library at my community's community center.

In your shower: is the shower head stationary or a removable hand-held one? removable. Replaced a standard stationary, after using a removable shower head ain't no way I'd go back to stationary.

Do you use lip balm? Only one I use for sore or chapped lips is Blistex medicated in the green tube. Any others of that brand, or Chapstick, are nothing but flavored useless wax.

When did you last use sunscreen? Rarely, and it has been awhile.

Do you have a favorite brand of hand cream or lotion? Gold Bond Hand Cream for hands. It absorbs quickly, no greasy feel and has a light, fresh, pleasant scent. Others leave my hands sticky or don't soften them.

BONUS QUESTIONS

How have you been affected by the huge storm system that's sweeping most of the U.S.? Power outages as described by Elnina, and cold, cold, cold. I don't "do" cold, I can take heat until the cows come home, but I cannot tolerate cold. Who'da thought this kind of weather would occur in Southern Texas, of all places?

Today is Fat Tuesday. Will you be eating any Paczkis? https://nationaltoday.com/paczki-day/ Sorry, didn't even realize what with this weather we are experiencing. So, no.

If you have no clue what a Paczki is, what sweet treat might you have today instead? I know what they are. Am not too impressed by them. Just a filled doughnut, IMO.

Name one or a couple of your favorite things about spring. Texas Bluebonnets!

Are you hoping to travel out of your area in 2021? I am. Going on a trip of a lifetime.Where would you most like to go? My next trip, if I am blessed enough to be able to take one, will be to the Holy Land. I am waiting for one of my favorite pastors to lead it. Pastor Paul Sheppard, are you listening?


That's it, boys and girls. Now have yourselves a totally terrific Tuesday and wish me luck shoveling more than a foot of new snow later this morning. And don't forget to commit an act of kindness today.

Don't give yourself a heart attack! Shoveling snow is notorious for making these happen.
