Hello!
I hope you are fine!
I had a bad night. Maybe because today we are going to tell our families that we can't go back for Christmas... I know they will be very sad and disappointed...

Today's Question(s):

Have you ever gone up to someone you didn't know to ask them about something that caught your eye ? No. I'm too shy to do something like that.


Bonus Question:

How many different magazines do you read each month ? It depends. Sometimes several, sometimes none. But now I've managed to have 4 free subscriptions (thank you freebie forum!), so I take a look at these.

Do you have a subscription or do you buy them at the store ? As I said, I now have 4 subscriptions, but honestly I would never buy these in a store!

Extra Credit Question:

Ok fess up !!
How many of our QOTD family wants to put up their Christmas tree now ? I don't want a Christmas tree, but hubby does. Anyway, I guess we'll decide in a few weeks!

Whats the earliest you have put your tree up ? Never decorated, because never stayed home for Christmas!


Today is:
Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day
National Fig Day That's for hubby
Magazine Day
Chemistry Day That's for hubby too!
International Tongue Twister Day

Have a nice day!

Have you ever gone up to someone you didn't know to ask them about something that caught your eye ? I do things like this...but it is so "normal" for me, I have remembered no examples.
Maybe their haircut, something they were wearing, something they were doing etc.... You know what?? I'm about to go out to coffee with a friend...I think I will seek out a victim who needs a compliment this morning just to see what response I get.....and report back. I hate not having examples....let's see how friendly people are today..HeeHee

Was their response:
Polite,they answered your question ? Usually...some people are short with their answers...but many love the attention.
You got more information that you needed ? Yes! This happens ALL the time to me...I am the kind of person people feel obligated to tell there life story to! AND I LISTEN! LOL
They just walked away ? No..don't recall this happening.
How cool !! you ended up with a new friend ? I don't think any of my friends I acquired this way...so NO

Bonus Question:

How many different magazines do you read each month ? Read??? ROTFLMAO!!! Skim...several...I get a few subscriptions that I skim each month because I don't have time to read.

Do you have a subscription or do you buy them at the store ? Oops..answered this above.

Extra Credit Question:

Ok fess up !!
How many of our QOTD family wants to put up their Christmas tree now ?
Nope...not yet....after Thanksgiving!

Whats the earliest you have put your tree up ? Thankgiving....but that would be an artificial version

I do this often! I'm a people-watcher.

How cool !! you ended up with a new friend ? Folks are usually friendly and nice. Some have said I made their day!

Bonus Question:

I like magazines! Actually need to restrict myself sometimes.
Do you have a subscription or do you buy them at the store ?
I have four subscriptions- 2 craft-related, Woman's Day and Consumer Reports. Others I borrow from family or the library. I rarely buy the at a store unless I'm at an airport.

How many of our QOTD family wants to put up their Christmas tree now ? I'm not in the mood, because the weather is strangely warm and sunny for November. I won't have a tree anyway, because last year I gave mine to a single mom who couldn't afford one. I will put up lights and some special decorations...it will be enough for me.

I dont make a habit of this ..... but I think that type of thing happened regularly at the Jimmy Buffet Parking Lot madness....."where did you get that shirt" ; "how did you get that beach and palm tree in here?" ;"Did you hook up your own generator to run that blender?"; "Wow, real grass skirts and are those coconut shells?"
Was their response:

Always well rec'd and I often got offered a marguerita or some teriaki or whatever they were in to.

Bonus Question:

How many different magazines do you read each month ?

I seldom read magazines, unless I am in a waiting room.

Do you have a subscription or do you buy them at the store ?
I don't buy them at all.

NOT ME! In fact I heard a Christmas commercial on the TV today and it annoyed me no end....It isnt Thanksgiving yet...not by a long shot.

Whats the earliest you have put your tree up ?

Maybe two weeks before Christmas. (I like Christmas but not all the hype and it is not a major holiday for us.)

Yep, I do it a lot. I ask what scent they are wearing, or comment the boots or shoes, or whatever other unique thing they are doing or wearing. Hey at least I dont do what someone else I know has done, going up to guys at the mall and asking if they wear boxers or briefs!
I dont read too many magazines but love my word searches.
