Hello, everyone! Thanks again to farm108 for filling in the last few weeks as I took a break from the Tuesday Q's. If anyone has an interest in taking this slot over permanently, please let me know via DM. Business aside, let's get down to brass tacks with


TODAY'S RANDOM QUESTIONS!

Have you been to Alaska or Hawai'i?

How many U.S. states have you been in?

What is the greatest number of states you have traveled through in one day?

Your favorite place to buy tacos:

Do you ever use hot sauce?

I have two family members who were born on February 29. Do you know anyone who's a Leap Year Day baby?

Approximately how many feet from your home is your closest neighbor's home?

When did you last change out your furnace or AC air filter?

When and where did you last use a broom?

Are you a neatnik, a little messy or a pack rat?

Whether or not you own a clothes washer, do you ever take items to a Laundromat to clean?


That's it for today's random questions! Thanks for playing. And remember to commit an act of kindness today. The world needs your love.



Edited to add: I just noticed that LauraC needs someone to take over the Monday questions as well. I hope a couple of people will step up and help us out. Some of us have been preparing weekly questions for many years and we need a break!

I've been to Hawaii but not Alaska - yet. I've been in at least 16 states and Puerto Rico. I think I have been in 5 states in one day. Hatd to remember.

I usually make my own tacos. No current favorite place to buy them. I don't go to chain restaurants for them. I like salsa.

My closest neighbor is about a quarter mile away. Can't see any houses because of trees and I like it that way.

Swept around the wood stove yesterday. I strive for neat and clean. Am currently failing. There are tax papers on the dining table.

I haven't been to a laundry mat except when a washer or dryer died.

TODAY'S RANDOM QUESTIONS!

Have you been to Alaska or Hawai'i?

Not yet. Alaska is on my list

How many U.S. states have you been in?

Not sure. Maybe 30?

What is the greatest number of states you have traveled through in one day?

Traveled... like driving a car? Maybe 3.

Your favorite place to buy tacos:

Some of Mexican supermarkets here have little restaurants inside, and sell great tacos. Those are my favorite, because seem very authentic.

Do you ever use hot sauce?

Oh, yes!!! I love spicy food!!

I have two family members who were born on February 29. Do you know anyone who's a Leap Year Day baby?

I am not aware of that.

Approximately how many feet from your home is your closest neighbor's home?

We are pretty spread out here, but still living in the city limits. I don't know the exact distance, but I cannot see their houses from my yard. It's a wooden area too.

When did you last change out your furnace or AC air filter?

Me? Last year in May. My son changed it last in December.

When and where did you last use a broom?

Today. Swept my garage.

Are you a neatnik, a little messy or a pack rat?

Homey messy, but more like neatnik. My house is not crowded with stuff.

Whether or not you own a clothes washer, do you ever take items to a Laundromat to clean?

When I came to this country and saw what people wash in public laundromats, I decided that I rather wash everything by hand than ever use public washer.

That's it for today's random questions! Thanks for playing. And remember to commit an act of kindness today. The world needs your love.

Great questions, Pam!! Thank you

Edited to add: I just noticed that LauraC needs someone to take over the Monday questions as well. I hope a couple of people will step up and help us out. Some of us have been preparing weekly questions for many years and we need a break!

I am aware that some of you are doing it for years, and while I enjoy QOTD very much, I also admire your creativity!!

TODAY'S RANDOM QUESTIONS!

Have you been to Alaska or Hawai'i?
Neither one, but one of my best friends in High School moved to Alaska (She later married a Doctor and moved to Hawaii! Talk about a climate change!) and I have a cousin who lives in Hawaii.
How many U.S. states have you been in?
Not for sure 2 or 3 dozen I guess...maybe more.
What is the greatest number of states you have traveled through in one day?
Traveling from Kentucky once, we made it all the way to Texas before getting a hotel room.
Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas I think it was.....it was a long time ago.


Your favorite place to buy tacos:
Just home. I buy the ingredient from the Market and bring them home and make them myself.
They are delicious and healthy...I use grilled chicken breast strips in place of ground beef.
With fresh, and organic produce. I use zero net carb wraps in place of soft taco shells.

Do you ever use hot sauce?
No. But we have some, because my husband likes it.
He also likes this hot Italian relish (Giardiniera) and also Hot peppers.

I have two family members who were born on February 29. Do you know anyone who's a Leap Year Day baby?
No.
Approximately how many feet from your home is your closest neighbor's home?

A few weeks ago.

Yesterday.
Are you a neatnik, a little messy or a pack rat?
Sometimes a neatnik but sometimes a little messy.
Whether or not you own a clothes washer, do you ever take items to a Laundromat to clean?
No, except for once when the washing machine broke down. The last one that broke down i went online and Lowe's delivered me a new one the next morning....so haven't been in a very very long time.

What is the greatest number of states you have traveled through in one day? 9

Your favorite place to buy tacos: - It's been a long time. There is not a location near where I live but near my job is doable - California Tortilla. But I usually order a burrito. I have had their soft tacos before and do like.

A car drove through their business and I was informed the last time I was there which was about a month ago that it would be about 2 months before their dining room opened back up. I have to eat it there because it's an hour drive to my home. It was a mess inside, they were barely functioning...

Do you ever use hot sauce? - Never.

Approximately how many feet from your home is your closest neighbor's home? - Only a couple of feet. She was / is a major disappointment and has been a crappy neighbor overall despite me being very good to her.

When did you last change out your furnace or AC air filter? - Landlord replaced about 1.5 years ago.

When and where did you last use a broom? - Tile here. Seem to average once per month. It's only me here...

Are you a neatnik, a little messy or a pack rat? - More organized at work, always have been...

Whether or not you own a clothes washer, do you ever take items to a Laundromat to clean? - I have to take to a laundromat. It's a nightmare...
