Today's Question(s):
Would you rather be somewhere you feel too cool or too warm? Too warm. I am in the minority as I like heat rather than cold.

Today's Question(s): Would you rather be somewhere you feel too cool or too warm?...........At the moment we have gusty,cold,snowy weather on this very first day of spring and I am longing for warmer weather
Do you have any plans for the upcoming April 8th eclipse that will be crossing the US from Texas to Maine? ........No

Today's Foodie Question(s):
"A side dish of GREEN CHILE/CUCUMBER RAITA goes with practically anything."
Can you describe any foods or drinks served by relatives on visits or holidays, good or not so good ? ...... Traveling to the Punjab/India we received at our arrival "Chabeel" ( rose-water syrup, ice and milk drink) and for me it tasted awful
I am like baby bear....I want everything just right. I don't like being either too cold or too hot. I suppose I would rather be too hot if I had to be one or the other.
I have seen eclipses, and I don't think it's going to be anything special in my area, so I won't even bother to look.
I leave a light on in the kitchen. It's over the sink and doesn't use much energy. I think it's just habit, leftover from when we might be returning home in the dark. The outside lights go on by sensors. I can remember my family leaving a porch light on overnight when I was a child.

Today's Question(s): Would you rather be somewhere you feel too cool or too warm? I prefer between 60-70F, but my wife prefers 75-80. While we do compromise some she is not going to get her wish in winter when we have a high heating bill, 72 is about it. Even then we can get up to $350. In summer I can keep the AC down to about 74.
Do you have any plans for the upcoming April 8th eclipse that will be crossing the US from Texas to Maine? No, it will not be visible anywhere near us, I may look at pictures online but I've seen partials before and the 2017 total so it's just not a big deal.
Inside or out, are there any lights you routinely leave on overnight? Outside, there are two porch lights, and two above the sides of the garage doors, one is a motion-activated floodlight. Inside everything is off all night until a timer brings on one at 4am so I can see when I go downstairs.
Today's Foodie Question(s):
"A side dish of __French fries______________ goes with practically anything."
Can you describe any foods or drinks served by relatives on visits or holidays, good or not so good ? One Christmas we had 3 different guests bring green bean casseroles. We have had relatives bring appetizers that were way too salty. On the good side, our son is a competitive pit master, and when we go there or he brings BBQ here it's amazing. So far he has taken a 3rd and a first in local events.

Today's Question(s): Would you rather be somewhere you feel too cool or too warm? I'd prefer a cool climate because I can always put on a jacket or sweater. When it's too hot, I can only take off so much without getting arrested.
Do you have any plans for the upcoming April 8th eclipse that will be crossing the US from Texas to Maine? No, but I hope to be able to see it. Inside or out, are there any lights you routinely leave on overnight?
Yes, the overhead light in our bedroom. It's on a dimmer. We leave it on the lowest setting overnight because Mr. Bay's vision is poor, and it helps him see better when he has to get up at night (which is often). We also have night lights in the bathroom, hallway and bedroom. Today's Foodie Question(s):
"A side dish of sliced tomatoes goes with practically anything."
Can you describe any foods or drinks served by relatives on visits or holidays, good or not so good ? Good: My mother's pancakes Not so good: Her "No-Bake Fruitcake," a godawful combination of crushed graham crackers, sugar, margarine, rum flavoring and candied fruit. It was sickeningly sweet and heavy as a brick.
Today's Question(s):
Would you rather be somewhere you feel too cool or too warm? Warm and hot for me. Anything below 70 is too cold for me. I'm a desert rat.
Do you have any plans for the upcoming April 8th eclipse that will be crossing the US from Texas to Maine? No, normal day as usual. Won't be seen in our area and I wouldn't want to burn my eyes anyway. Mybe see it on TV news that evening.

"A side dish of vegetables goes with practically anything."
