Today's Question(s): Retired or not, do you have any work related things around your home? Yes, I have some company jackets that were given out as Christmas gifts to the employees. I also have all my old ID badges and a stick-on wall thermometer with our former meteorologist's name and picture on it.
Do you have any arts or crafts that you or yours made?
My aunt was an artist, and I have several of her watercolors and pastels on my walls. I also have some drawings and a painting that a talented friend of mine did.
Food or non-food, what does it seem like your always buying at the store? Milk, bread, cereal, orange juice, bananas.
Do you have any toys of any kind? Yes, I have a kaleidoscope and a teddy bear.
How long do you keep day to day store receipts, not anything you'd need for taxes? I keep them to reconcile with credit card and bank statements, then I discard. Foodie Question(s): If you couldn't eat out or buy any food, how long do you estimate the food you have at home would last? That's hard to say. Maybe a week or so; longer if you don't mind a diet of canned beans, rice, pasta, tomatoes and chicken broth. Just To: Do you have sticky notes or post it notes on your fridge, computer, mirror or any other places, and if so, can you tell us what any of your sticky notes say? There's one on Mr. Bay's computer to remind him of our bank password.

Today's Question(s): Retired or not, do you have any work related things around your home? Yeeeah....about that. I stole a lot of office supplies from every office job that I ever had, and that was a lot. Nah, just a few pens. And legal pads, pencils, sharpener - no wait, I bought that -- tape dispensers, tape, calculator, hole punches, letter openers, staplers, staples, copy paper, paper clips, hanging file folders, manila folders...I think that's it. But just to clarify, I only stole supplies from jobs that I got fired from.
Seriously, I have an office for no apparent reason other than I'm used to having one. That's not true, I use the heck out of it. I'm in it right now, typing. I do seem to have an extraordinary amount of supplies though.
Do you have any arts or crafts that you or yours made? Just a couple of cross-stitching items and two pillowcases that I embroidered, many years ago. I made a few things over the years that I just made for someone's special occasion or to give away. I like to paint so I used to do that too. It's all past tense now.
Food or non-food, what does it seem like your always buying at the store? *sigh* Diet damn Coke. I got to quit that stuff.
Do you have any toys of any kind? Can't do that anymore either. I have a few stuffed animals that I kept and a few that have been given to me. Things like the original bouncing talking Tigger and my son's original Tickle Me Elmo toy. That ostrich beanie baby family was just too precious to get rid of. They are all in a closet, I'm a little too old to put them on my bed.
How long do you keep day to day store receipts, not anything you'd need for taxes? Not very long or not at all. I usually don't get a receipt. I check my account frequently. If it's something I might need to return then I keep the receipt for a while.
Foodie Question(s): If you couldn't eat out or buy any food, how long do you estimate the food you have at home would last? Do you know something we don't? I only have, if rationed, one month at best. Should I stock up?
Just To: Do you have sticky notes or post it notes on your fridge, computer, mirror or any other places, and if so, can you tell us what any of your sticky notes say? I have quite a few of them, but they aren't stuck to anything. Inside files maybe, I do use them but it's more for reminders and figures. Usually goes in the trash right away because I can't stand seeing them stuck to everything. I don't like disorganization or clutter.
That'll do. Have a thoroughly pleasant Thursday!
Thanks bjh!

Today's Question(s): Retired or not, do you have any work related things around your home? Yes. For years I have had identical office set-ups at home and work so I could leave work, drive home and just slap the laptop down and have everything up and running (for the flexibility).
Do you have any arts or crafts that you or yours made? No, I don't unless you count an art poster that a friend of mine had custom framed that she gifted me about 30 years ago.
Food or non-food, what does it seem like your always buying at the store? Sunflower seeds (but, I am giving it up -- LOL)
Do you have any toys of any kind? I recently pared down the cat toys; but, there are still a few cat nip kicker pillows, yarn balls, little wool balls, mouse and/or bird on leather string and even a catnip squirrel...
How long do you keep day to day store receipts, not anything you'd need for taxes? I get rid of unnecessary receipts almost immediately.
Foodie Question(s): If you couldn't eat out or buy any food, how long do you estimate the food you have at home would last? I have actual freeze dried emergency food for a month for myself and my neighbors that are friends. I have 30 gallons of spring water and 10 gallons of cat water. I have regular food that could last about 10 days. I also practice extended water fasting and my last fast was 37 days. So, I could subsist quite an extended period of time as long as I had access to water.
Just To: Do you have sticky notes or post it notes on your fridge, computer, mirror or any other places, and if so, can you tell us what any of your sticky notes say? Yes I do; and No I cannot

Today's Question(s):
Retired or not, do you have any work related things around your home? Two things: A nice ceramic mug with the seal of my agency that I received as a gift from someone when I retired and that sits on the shelf of my desk and a wood award plaque that sits in the box it came in and which I think I got at either 25 or 30 years of service. There might be some things in a box in my closet that is still sealed from my move from MD to TN in 2007.
Do you have any arts or crafts that you or yours made? No
Food or non-food, what does it seem like your always buying at the store? Bottled water, old lady prescription drugs.
Do you have any toys of any kind? No
How long do you keep day to day store receipts, not anything you'd need for taxes? Discard immediately except for the ones that I give to a friend for a gasoline discount.
Foodie Question(s):
If you couldn't eat out or buy any food, how long do you estimate the food you have at home would last? Let's put it this way. Still haven't gone to the supermarket since I came home from vacation on Mothers Day but it's time I did.
Just To:
Do you have sticky notes or post it notes on your fridge, computer, mirror or any other places, and if so, can you tell us what any of your sticky notes say? Don't have them. I didn't even know people still use them. Thought for sure something on a cell phone replaced them.
