~ Do you ever consider cutting back on the amount of time that you use the Internet? - Nope.

~ Have you any idea how much money that you spend at the grocery store, weekly or monthly? - Not going to worry about it...

~ Where do you buy any new clothing to wear? - Prefer high end stores. My favorite and the best clothing store I have ever been to is Dillard's. Sadly there are none in my area as the closest location to me is in Richmond, VA.

The location I went to my one and only time is in your area. Bring money, LOL.

~ What kind of cake and frosting should you and I buy at the supermarket to bake at home? - Something I haven't done in ages. I have no one to share with.

~ Salami, cooked ham, chicken or roast beef (deli sliced) from the delicatessen? And with what cheese and bread? - Pass on all.

~ Do you have a Amazon Fire stick or similar device attached to your television? Wireless service? - Don't at this time but who knows whenever I move out of here. Thinking very strongly about that since I have to make a decision soon whether I want to renew my lease or not. At this time I'm leaning no. I'm currently being tempted with very affordable housing in this city that would be a palace compared to what I currently have...

~ Do you know of someone named Aubrey Plaza? - Don't.

~ Is there ever noise in your home? - Only the ceiling fan from my neighbor which I am hearing right now. That used to be a problem but isn't anymore. I was forced to get my landlord involved because she is very unreasonable. One noise I will not miss!

~ Noises that you hear outside you home from the inside: - In the seldom category are people talking and ambulances as there is a hospital about 1/3 of a mile from here.

~ Noises that you really dislike: - Car horns and alarms rank high on that list.

~ Things that you very much like: - Money.

Happy to see your post today. Thank you for the QOTD!

Sorry to hear about kitty.

Hello to all and thank you!

~ Do you ever consider cutting back on the amount of time that you use the Internet?

Always. But not very successful.

~ Have you any idea how much money that you spend at the grocery store, weekly or monthly?

Yes. I check my receipts and monthly statements.

~ Where do you buy any new clothing to wear?

In my home country. Much better quality and style.

~ What kind of cake and frosting should you and I buy at the supermarket to bake at home?

Don't know about you, but I bake mine from scratch. I don't know much about cakes in a box and I don't make frostings.

~ Salami, cooked ham, chicken or roast beef (deli sliced) from the delicatessen?

I cook/bake/roast my own cold cuts - don't want any processed from a deli.

And with what cheese and bread?

European bread or my homemade bread. Real cheese - Swiss, Gouda, Havarti, feta, labneh, quark...

~ Do you have a Amazon Fire stick or similar device attached to your television? Wireless service?

I have Amazon Fire stick for years now.

~ Do you know of someone named Aubrey Plaza?

No. Should I?

~ Is there ever noise in your home?

Not an outdoor noise, except when the windows are open - then I hear birds singing. Other than that - just noise created by me, or media. Or visitors.

~ Noises that you hear outside you home from the inside:

Birds singing. Many different birds - day and night. Some very loud, but I love it. Soon to be cicadas.

~ Noises that you really dislike:

People talking loud on the phone. Kids screaming and running wild. Chained dogs that are non-stop barking. Emergency vehicles.

~ Things that you very much like:

My family, my SO, smart company, travel, classical music, good book, my work, observing nature, cooking and eating...

**** Thank you for any concern for me and sorry for missing last Fryday. I am one month into taking a new
prescription drug that is supposed to make changes to me, Really weird! It is called Citalopram.

Hope it helps you feel better!

I think my kitty Buttercup will die very soon. He is 18 years old and being well cared for! ****

Buttercup has a long and great life with you, you both are enjoying each other company for many years. Treasure it.
I am glad to see you back and posting!! Hugs!!!!!

Hello to all and thank you!

~ Do you ever consider cutting back on the amount of time that you use the Internet? Not really.

~ Have you any idea how much money that you spend at the grocery store, weekly or monthly? It depends on the month. In a month that I buy a lot of meat, it’s higher. I’m guessing $400-$600.

~ Where do you buy any new clothing to wear? Mostly online. I have favorite companies that fit me.

~ What kind of cake and frosting should you and I buy at the supermarket to bake at home? Duncan Hines, tastes the most homemade to me. I’d never buy canned frosting.

~ Salami, cooked ham, chicken or roast beef (deli sliced) from the delicatessen? And with what cheese and bread? I’d go with salami, ham and other Italian meats, with provolone and Italian bread.

~ Do you have an Amazon Fire stick or similar device attached to your television? Wireless service? No

~ Do you know of someone named Aubrey Plaza? No

~ Is there ever noise in your home? If dh is in the house, the tv is on. I like peace and quiet.

~ Noises that you hear outside you home from the inside: I’m hearing the Friday morning garbage truck now. Neighbors lawn mower, and barking dogs.

~ Noises that you really dislike: High pitched, squealing voices.

~ Things that you very much like: Babies, and days when nothing hurts.

Yes I should cut back on screen time.
In this house we spend roughly about 200 bucks a week.
Honey ham with mild cheddar on sourdough bread for me.
We have Roku on all our tvs.
Noise in this house is common. Hearing the grandkids play is a blessing.
Noises outside, we live away from the city so its dogs in the neighborhood but theyre doing their job so we cant get angry at them.
Noises I dislike, video games.
I like lots of things, namely food!
Have a great day everyone~~~

https://www.breadalone.com/

~ Do you have a Amazon Fire stick or similar device attached to your television? Wireless service?

### been thinking about the Fire stick and the Roku

Duncan Hines Yellow Cake, and my Pineapple Dream Recipe. Ingredients: Yellow Sheet Cake, Vanilla Instant Pudding, Flaked Coconut, Crushed Pineapple. I've never purchased store-bought frosting.

~ Things that you very much like: Birds singing, frogs croaking at night.

Thanks, RR
