Today's Question(s):
Have you ever used:

Have you ever re-used aluminum foil or sandwich bags or other disposable items (you tell us what)? I reuse the zip lock bags I keep my memory cards in. They (the bags) are labeled with a Sharpie (new, used and already uploaded, Upload).
Foodie Question(s):
What are the best, most memorable or oddest food cravings or food combinations you've had or heard of? I once went on a spinach kick. The only vegetable I wanted was spinach. Probably due to folic acid deficiency, something for which I was hospitalized. I also went on an orange juice kick and didn't drink anything else except orange juice (with pulp). Maybe I was Vitamin C deficient. I think if this ever happens again, I hope it's because I'm chocolate ice cream deficient. I'll yield to pregnant women when it comes to odd food cravings. They're the experts on this.

Should we change October to Octember? The Hunt For Red Octember just doesn't have the same ring to it. Sounds like someone looking for their lost musical instrument. BUT, we could pronounce October the way I did for most of my NY life --- Octobuh.

Today's Question(s): Have you ever used:
- a riding lawn mower? yes, I used to cut it myself.
- an electric lawn mower? nope
- an old manual push mower? nope never
- or has it just been the typical walk-behind gasoline mower for you or yours? I've had one in the beginning but the yard is too big, bumpy and hilly even with self-propelled. I had to get a riding mower.
- a hired lawn service? That's what I have to do now.
- a yard trimmer or edger?just a weedwhacker, after one season of that mess I said "nope". When we were still able, my neighbor and I worked it out to where I cut his yard with my riding mower and he did all the trim work with his push mower for both yards. It worked well for a while, then life happened.
Or, have you never mowed or kept a lawn or yard? See above.
Have you ever re-used aluminum foil or sandwich bags or other disposable items (you tell us what)? I don't re-use anything that has had food on it. I do repurpose things, lots of things. If I tear off too much tin foil, I will save the piece I didn't use, things like that. I'm on a tight budget.
Foodie Question(s): What are the best, most memorable or oddest food cravings or food combinations you've had or heard of? I craved regular Doritos mostly when I was pregnant. I think pickles and ice cream is a disgusting combination, pregnant or not. Other than that, I can't really think of anything.

What are the best, most memorable or oddest food cravings or food combinations you've had or heard of? Remember my cousins making a turkey, Nutella, Coke, and whip cream sandwich on white bread for me when I was a kid. Wouldn't recommend it.
