I've gotten razzed about not listing my quirks. Well, if you must know, I wear thick socks to bed in the winter because I keep the heat low and I hate cold feet. I've also been known to wear a sweatsuit to bed - there, are you happy now!   |

How many in our "question family" are experiencing "Open Window" weather ? Beautiful weather here in Maryland! With the exception of one day, I've had the windows open everyday! Because we don't like to sleep with the windows raised, we do still run the AC at night because it gets way too stuffy with the house closed up.
If not yet,when are you usually able to open them to enjoy the breezes ?
Bonus Question:
Lets discuss Quirks !!!
Ok, we all have them, so being the cozy little family that we have become I thought it would be fun to see how many of us might share the same Quirks
So tell us, what are some of your Quirks ? I avoid stepping on cracks in a sidewalk....when I sleep, the room has to be completely dark....I cannot sleep in a quiet room, I have to have 'white noise' in order to go to sleep....I must have my favorite foam pillow too, it even travels with me when I go on vacation...lol I have more quirks, but these are the main ones...LOL
Extra Credit Question:
The other day I so wanted to just "Stand up and yell will you stop complaining!!!
Just for Fun:
What are your favorite chores to do around the house ? I love spending time in my remodeled kitchen so I'd have to say cooking and doing the dishes/cleaning are my favorite chores. I also love to hang laundry out on the clothesline...especially on these beautifully cool days. Everything smells so fresh and clean! 
Have you ever collected rocks ? Not since the third grade.
Do you own a raincoat ? Yes. It looks like a hefty bag!

Well, the Rep Police got me so I'm under CD house arrest for a bit    . Guess I'll call it a night - my socks (they'll cover the ankle bracelet I have to wear ) are ready and fresh sheets on the bed so everyone have a good night - see you in the a.m. for more QOD fun. Anybody know where Karla is headed to? Our MN weather is gorgeous right now and has been for weeks.
Later... |

Oh dear, I've almost missed this one due to work ... so I'll try to sneak under the line ....
Today's Question(s):
How many in our "question family" are experiencing "Open Window" weather ? No, not yet. We've just come into Spring here "Down Unda" but it's been quite Wintery so it won't be Open Windows for another few weeks.
If not yet,when are you usually able to open them to enjoy the breezes ? From about mid-October to late May. Our warm season is long here in Perth. And all our windows have screens, of course, because Oz has about 92 trillion flies, at least  and gazillions of mozzies (mosquitoes) too. And they find me extremely attractive
Bonus Question:
So tell us, what are some of your Quirks ? This is a hard one so I looked at some other answers and found a few I have ... like sleeping - the room has to be dark and quiet and I have to be lying down. That's why sleeping on a plane is impossible for me. Unless it's First Class, which we got upgraded to once. Heaven! But unaffordable otherwise.
I love friends and socializing but I so need some 'ME' time. If I don't, I get antsy and a bit cranky 
Extra Credit Question:
The other day I so wanted to just "Stand Up & Yell" How does someone so dumb as you manage to be employed when there are so many others far more intelligent in need of work?!!!
Just for Fun:
What are your favorite chores to do around the house ? Painting walls. Washing windows. Planting new seedlings.
Have you ever collected rocks ? Sort of, in a real non-serious way. No idea what their official names were, they were just pretty or interesting.
Do you own a raincoat ? Yes, have owned raincoats for most of my life. I used to live in Vancouver where you hardly ever took it off as it rained so much. Perth is very dry but winters can bring some serious downpours. I hate that soggy feeling.
Today in History:
1981- the pilot episode of Miami Vice aired on NBC-TV I loved that show! It was so different for that era.

Me too But it is because we heat with a woodstove, and I am the one who is responsible for tending it day and night. |

Wait a minute. You're telling me these are quirks? I thought everyone that was frugal did that. I must be quirky, too. |

Alright, so I know it's Friday but I didn't have a chance to answer Wednesdays, so I'm going to cheat and go back 
Today's Question(s):

I live in England...it's freezing and raining 99% of the time

Once a week?
Bonus Question:

Ok, we all have them, so being the cozy little family that we have become I thought it would be fun to see how many of us might share the same Quirks
So tell us, what are some of your Quirks ?
-I am a grammar nazi to the highest degree. I will go out of my way to correct people and I'm sure it drives them crazy.
-My kitchen cabinets are organized by vegetable type, as well as the way they are cut (for example, cut green beans and french-style green beans are separated)
-I hate children. Hate me all you want, but I have zero tolerance/patience towards any sort of whining, crying, etc. I love animals though.
-I will become that crazy cat lady; even if I'm married, he will just have to deal with it.

1620 - On this day, 102 passengers and crew set sail on the "Mayflower" from Plymouth, England. Their destination was the New World. This hearty group of 41 men, the rest, women and children; half religious dissenters and half entrepreneurs, made it to Provincetown, Massachusetts on November 21, 1620. A month later, the Plymouth Colony was founded by the passengers of the "Mayflower".
1908 - General Motors was founded on this day. The man responsible for the beginning of the huge auto-manufacturing company (maker of Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevrolet) was William Crapo ‘Billy’ Durant.
1968 - Richard Nixon appears on "Laugh-in"
1981- the pilot episode of Miami Vice aired on NBC-TV
