In today "technical world " when was the last time you used an actual Pencil ?
I still have kids in school, so there's pencil's always laying around the house. I don't remember the last time I used one, but it was probably fairly recently, if I needed to take a phone message.
Have you ever been the "chew on the end of a pencil or pen" type of person ?
Nope. I always thought pencils were dirty because I KNOW where my hands were as a young boy. (Sand box, trees, mud... keep your mind out of the gutter!!)
When was the last time you took a nap ?
This last Saturday. My oldest works at a movie theater and often doesn't get off until after midnight. So, he got home about 2:00 am, and because I worry about him, I stayed up until he got home.
When you were a kid did you take your naps willingly or fight it "tooth and nail" because in your mind you didn't need a nap ?
I fought it tooth and nail... right up until I was the last of the family to get up from the nap! (My mom would make my sister and I take a nap when she was tired... lol)

National potato day - YeeHaw!
And national crabby co-worker day. Dang, can't we limit them to just one day? They are so annoying! Kinda like the people that bash Florida just because they aren't happy there. Why can't they just leave? I didn't like Florida either, but it wasn't the state's fault that I prefer a four season state. Oops. Did I start a pet peeve thread in the ?otd thread? Oops. I'll leave now...
Yesterday, fallfanatic treated everyone to donuts and coffee. My turn: Drinks are on me!
I use pencils every now and then...should use them in my check register.
I never chewed on them!
Last nap was yesterday afternoon. I take one daily unless we have company. Getting old, ya know.
We did not take naps as children (my siblings and I). We went to bed at 8 and got up at 5...regularly. We were farm kids, and had chores to do.
When my son was young I would have him take naps. He would get too hyper by evening if he didn't. As he got older, I would lay down with him to get him to take his nap. Sometimes I was the one who took the nap.

I used to hate napping when I was younger. In fact I hated sleeping of any kind. I tried to stay up as much as I possibly could. Now that I'm older I love to sleep and do it as much as I can!
