Have you ever smoked a cigar, a pipe, or cigarettes, and if so, was it a habit, a one time thing, and do you have any stories or anecdotes to tell about smoking? an occasional Hava Tampa cigar, once every other month or thereabouts. Thankfully never got into cigarette smoking, I worked around a nasty environment of smoke at power plant and pipeline jobs I was on for 3 decades plus. The tobacco smoke I never worried about, and actually still don't.

Foodie Question(s):
Have you bought any Halloween candy recently or is there any candy you look forward to this time of year? Yes, the mini Snickers, Milky Ways too!

Describe what you'd like to order at the QotD soda fountain: an ice cream shake, a malt or an ice cream soda or a float or anything else? There's nothing like an A&W Root Beer float!

Just To:
This question was formed before Wednesday's bookish questions. Really! It was. If you buy a paper book, as opposed to an e-book, are you more likely to buy it online or in a brick and mortar store? A regular store-always!


Wishing everyone a good September!
Hope everyone has a safe Labor Day weekend!!

Today's Question(s):

Maybe because of calendars I grew up thinking it was Sunday. Though, as someone pointed out Sunday is a part of the weekEND. Or was the week historically supposed to start on Sunday for religious reasons? I don't know. *shrug*

Do you have a specific day of the week when you take it easier, even if you're retired?
Sunday is a day I let myself do whatever i want without thinking about what I need to do.

Have you ever smoked a cigar, a pipe, or cigarettes, and if so, was it a habit, a one time thing, and do you have any stories or anecdotes to tell about smoking?
I tried cigarettes a few times when I was younger and cigars once. I just never got into it and never smoked enough to get addicted.


Foodie Question(s):

I haven't, but saw it in the stores starting in July! Btw you don't have to be giving candy to trick or treaters to buy it this time of year. Just sayin'. I used to like candy corn, but don't indulge much in candy any more.

Describe what you'd like to order at the QotD soda fountain: an ice cream shake, a malt or an ice cream soda or a float or anything else?
A chocolate malt!

If most of the books I've bought the last few years are any indication, mostly brick and mortar used book stores, supplemented by online purchases.

Wishing everyone a good September!
Thanks, everyone. Happy Labor Day weekend!

Monday.

Saturday. Sunday I'm also off from work, but I do laundry that day and usually go out and get my groceries for the week.

Have you ever smoked a cigar, a pipe, or cigarettes, and if so, was it a habit, a one time thing, and do you have any stories or anecdotes to tell about smoking?
I have never smoked and have absolutely no desire to do so.

Foodie Question(s):

Nothing's coming to mind. I more look forward to the Christmas candy - the candy canes!

Describe what you'd like to order at the QotD soda fountain: an ice cream shake, a malt or an ice cream soda or a float or anything else?
I better not have any of that. I need to lose weight!

Online. The reason being I don't drive so I don't go to bookstores often.
