Tuesday's random questions:

Tuesday's random questions:

Usually just one store at a time...although the store may vary (keep in mind in pre-Covid times we would go to the store every couple of days for perishables.) I live within a ten minute drive to Trader Joe's, Meijers, Krogers, Whole Foods, Aldi's, Walmart Grocery and Good Food Co-Op and in growing season there is a Farmers Market not far...nowadays we use grocery pick up or delivery or my Husband or Son picks up groceries.They are "essential workers".
Grocery or not what is the furthest you drive to get a special item that you like and how often?
There is a restaurant we like, and have driven to Versailles, Kentucky to go there(about 25 miles)
How do you like your water and how often - plain out of the faucet, filtered, bottled, with fresh lime or lemon, or anything else?
Use to have one of the filter things but that died, so lately just bottled or tap water, but am thinking of getting one of those filtered water pitchers.
What was one of the last photos you took? it's been so long I don't even recall.
It's sad, I use to love to take pictures, I just don't anymore....
At any time was there an inside of a building or two you were overall fascinated with and what was it? Maybe the state Capital or the Cathedral of Assumption in Louisville(stars on the ceiling)....but that was awhile ago. I prefer natural outdoor scenery the most.
Is there something that you are interested in but an overwhelming amount of people aren't? I am sure there is, but I am drawing a blank.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
u-2!

One place, especially these days.
Grocery or not what is the furthest you drive to get a special item that you like and how often?
40 miles, one way.
How do you like your water and how often - plain out of the faucet, filtered, bottled, with fresh lime or lemon, or anything else?
Bottled but not often without some sort of flavoring.
What was one of the last photos you took?
That's easy. I took some pictures and movies of our recent snow with my smart phone and but they got lost in the "cloud." I no longer use the camera on my dumb phone.
At any time was there an inside of a building or two you were overall fascinated with and what was it?
Most definitely the Library of Congress main reading room in D.C. after they finished the renovations.
Also, I would say the lobby area of the Omni Hotel and CNN Center in Atlanta was quite impressive in the 1990s.
Is there something that you are interested in but an overwhelming amount of people aren't?
As Eddy Albert once sang, "Farm living is the place to be."

Have a wonderful Tuesday! You too John. And thanks.
Do you do all your grocery shopping at one store or do you go to multiple places to get what you want? Examples are welcome! I do my normal shopping at one food store. However I do shop the "pricey" food store for their deals each week or for certain items they carry in which I like their quality. I also buy some groceries with Target Drive Up and WalMart pickup.
Grocery or not what is the furthest you drive to get a special item that you like and how often? I drive to a butcher shop about 40 miles up the interstate from here. It's a nice ride and the meat is great!
How do you like your water and how often - plain out of the faucet, filtered, bottled, with fresh lime or lemon, or anything else? I fill a gallon jug from the faucet and chill it in the fridge.
What was one of the last photos you took? Took some photos of our new dog (we lost two in the past year), so we now have two replacements.
At any time was there an inside of a building or two you were overall fascinated with and what was it? I had to go inside the max security prison in Joppa, MD for business awhile back. Along with some other lockup's I've visited for work, they are amazing on the inside. Not nice, but amazing.
Is there something that you are interested in but an overwhelming amount of people aren't? For years it was geocaching (I started in 2002).

I usually shop in our local grocery store but I have to go to another for a few things I can't get there.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Thanks John. So these plumbers that showed up yesterday were all drunk. Ugh. Why is it so hard to find a plumber?
We are installing this cute original pantry cabinet that's 12x16 and 54 inches tall that I sanded down and refinished. It fits perfectly back where it was originally and up against the new cabinets. It turned out good.
Do you do all your grocery shopping at one store or do you go to multiple places to get what you want? Examples are welcome! - Multiple. Many examples so I'll just name a few items.
Harris Teeter is overall my favorite.
Mom's Organic Market for free filtered water and some other items like soap and cereal.
Safeway - They always have perfect avocados (a challenge most of the time) and the best pre made salads. Wegmans is a close second as far as salads. I use as starters and add...
More below and I'm not going to mention all. It would take too long.
Grocery or not what is the furthest you drive to get a special item that you like and how often?
20-25 minute drive:
Trader Joe's especially for their Indian dinners. I use as starter and have with vegetables. Wegmans is close by. I like their whole grains and other items. Usually hit both as they are within 5 minutes of each other.
Harris Teeter - I will make a special trip there just to get their carrots w/garlic which is in their deli case. I think I'm addicted...
Across the street is Sprouts. Great deli case especially 3 types of chicken breast, dinner turkey slices where I can get one or two, roasted Brussels sprouts, and garlic green beans.
How do you like your water and how often - plain out of the faucet, filtered, bottled, with fresh lime or lemon, or anything else? - Between the mentioned filtered water and regular Perrier. That's just about all I ever drink.
When out (only occasionally) and before Covid I'll ask for either lime or lemon for the water.
What was one of the last photos you took? - When I moved 1.5 years ago my old apartment to prove I left it in pristine condition.
At any time was there an inside of a building or two you were overall fascinated with and what was it? - The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco is highly recommended.
National Baseball Hall Of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY especially the Negro League exhibit. Very moving to say the least.
Is there something that you are interested in but an overwhelming amount of people aren't? - Horse racing.

Back in my day, we / I respected elders.
Not feeling it...
Hello and welcome to the Tuesday edition of Questions Of The Day.
Our regular Tuesday host PJSaturn is having some computer issues so as a result I was asked to fill in. I finally picked up my laptop from the PC repair store this evening. I was lost without it! Thanks so much for filling in for me, John13.
Tuesday's random questions:
Do you do all your grocery shopping at one store or do you go to multiple places to get what you want? Examples are welcome! I shop at two different stores, but never both on the same day. I will do all of my shopping at one store or the other.
Grocery or not what is the furthest you drive to get a special item that you like and how often? Generally, I wouldn't have to go more than three miles to get everything I need. A few times I've traveled about 18 miles to visit an ethic food store for obscure items needed for specific recipes.
How do you like your water and how often - plain out of the faucet, filtered, bottled, with fresh lime or lemon, or anything else? Water from the faucet, run through a filter in a pitcher.
What was one of the last photos you took? Some pics of the drifted snow in my yard.
At any time was there an inside of a building or two you were overall fascinated with and what was it? Westminster Abbey was pretty awesome. I toured it a couple of years ago.
Is there something that you are interested in but an overwhelming amount of people aren't? For many decades, I loved reading MAD magazine. I was sad when MAD finally went out of publication a few years ago.
Fill in the blank:
Back in my day, we / I felt perfectly safe riding a bus alone to down Gary, Indiana to shop or see a movie. Sadly, it hasn't been safe to do that since the 1970s.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
