Here is where most people read any introduction/preamble. I didn't receive word of the QOTD ending, I read it in the 'What are you thinking about?' thread. Horse hockey. I read about it. It was one person's speculation. One regular has stopped posting and Monday's announced she needs replacement at end of April. That's hardly "ending." I've filled in once or twice when BeerGeek40 vamoosed.

~ What did you eat during this last week that you enjoyed? My wife and I went for an "all you can eat" Japanese food outing

Here is where most people read any introduction/preamble. I didn't receive word of the QOTD ending, I read it in the
'What are you thinking about?' thread. Horse hockey. - Not enough volunteers and it's overall too repetitive.

~ What did you eat during this last week that you enjoyed? - Lobster dinner last night.

My brother is in my area for a couple of days and he insisted I order what I want.

That was the highlight but I enjoyed everything.

~ Today's jinx question: Have you had a tire go low on air lately? - Yes, about 2 months ago. Twenty bucks for a plug.

~ Are you happy with your health insurance? - I guess. Medicare has been good to me so far but I feel it's still expensive and it could be better.

. Dental is healthcare in my view but not enough politicians think so...

~ Have you been receiving political mail in your mailbox? - Not recently. My brother said Florida had early voting this week. Our primary election isn't until mid-May.

Here is where most people read any introduction/preamble. I didn't receive word of the QOTD ending, I read it in the
'What are you thinking about?' thread. Horse hockey.

~ What did you eat during this last week that you enjoyed? Crab legs!

~ Is there any sand near your home...enough that you can grab a bucket if you had a bucket? Yes, my entire yard.

~ What was the last can that you opened? This was hard, I eat mostly fresh, whole foods. It had to be crushed tomatoes when I was making spaghetti sauce.

~ Any 'filters' that you change: vacuum cleaner, HVAC

~ Today's jinx question: Have you had a tire go low on air lately? Not answering that on grounds it may jinx me!

~ Steak with nothing and salad. I'm a steak purist, nothing on it, just a salad accompanying it.

~ Are you happy with your health insurance? Yes, love it.

~ Have you been receiving political mail in your mailbox? Not a single piece. The secret is "No Party Affiliation."

~ Any actors that you really like their movies: Don't watch movies, don't know any contemporary actors.

~ Things that you eat with tomato in or on them: Tomatoes don't taste good anymore, I stopped adding them to sandwiches and salads years ago. Now I avoid them altogether or just eat the little cherry tomatoes as a snack, even most of them are tasteless too.

~ Stuff that you sometimes watch on YouTube: animal videos, travel, healthy lifestyle, history - and some pretty obscure channels like a guy who collects plastic chairs (he has over 5k of them!), a worm farmer, and a 91yo grandmom.

Thanks, rainroosty!

[LauraC]

Here is where most people read any introduction/preamble. I didn't receive word of the QOTD ending, I read it in the 'What are you thinking about?' thread. Horse hockey. Agree.

~ What did you eat during this last week that you enjoyed? I usually get take-out (2 meals) once a week on the same day from a restaurant and they each come with 2 sides. I only eat 1 side with each meal because it's enough. So, I eat the other 2 remaining sides on a third night with either soup, a salad or an appetizer. Last night I had steak and broccoli. Tonight, I'll have pork chops and a baked sweet potato. Saturday night, I'll have the remaining 2 side orders of mac and cheese, maybe with soup. I don't eat breakfast and if I eat lunch, I have it around 2:00P and then I usually don't eat dinner. The rest of the week, I'll eat whatever I don't have to cook much or at all like pancakes, soup, some type of quick pasta, pizza or fast food. Last night, the steak and broccoli was good.

~ Is there any sand near your home...enough that you can grab a bucket if you had a bucket? No sand.

~ What was the last can that you opened? Tomato paste.

~ Any 'filters' that you change: Nope. Maintenance man does the air filter in the apartment and car dealership does the car.

~ Today's jinx question: Have you had a tire go low on air lately?

~ Steak with broccoli and any kind of potato except french fries.

~ Are you happy with your health insurance? Yes, except when they scam you (by them and politicians) and say your rates are cheaper now. What they do is switch you to a cheaper brand and sometimes those cheaper brands have bad customer reviews because of side effects.

~ Have you been receiving political mail in your mailbox? It never ends. Every single politician, even ones I vote for, who contacts me in email goes into junk mail automatically because they are immediately put on Block Sender the first time they contact me. On my phone, every single one of them is blocked and goes to spam. My phone does it automatically. In snail mail, there is a garbage can by the mailbox kiosk. I walk from my mailbox to the garbage can if it's a catalogue or political mail. I don't even open it or bring it into my home. I'm politically active every day. I give 3 politicians, donations once a month during election season and follow everything they say or do. I don't need for them to contact me and really get annoyed at the ones looking for money that do not represent me because they are in another state. Try contacting their office via email on their government website. You can't if you aren't in their state or district. The party can take their fake surveys and shove them, too.

~ Any actors that you really like their movies: There are some that make the type of movies I like and others that don't. No reflection on the actor. It's just my taste in movies. Example: Since I rarely watch comedies, I'm unlikely to know the actors who make them.

~ Things that you eat with tomato in or on them: Don't eat tomatoes at all but do like things made from them like sauce, ketchup, soup, juice.

~ Stuff that you sometimes watch on YouTube: Watch YouTube every night for hours, sometimes. Watch pet rescue videos (subscribe to about 6 different ones), photography videos (subscribe to 4), political videos (several including live speeches), music mix videos, Best and Worst places videos, whatever became of type videos and medical videos (but never finish these, doctors may be good in their field but they are the worst at making videos, IMHO).

~ Place your order at the good Italian restaurant: chicken parm with spaghetti dinner and house salad.

Doing the QOTD is easy enough for most anyone to do. Don't be afraid to pitch in! Thank you for your answers and have a great and safe week ahead! ~roosty~
