Have you ever gone up to someone you didn't know to ask them about something that caught your eye ? Maybe their haircut, something they were wearing, something they were doing etc.... For multiple reasons.Nice looking pet, or to find out where they acquired something. I'm not shy.

Bonus Question:
How many different magazines do you read each month ? Used to read up to twenty a month, from subscriptions, friends, library etc.. I don't have time to read much now.

Ok fess up !! How many of our QOTD family wants to put up their Christmas tree now ? NOT ME! Stores start shoving stuff at you earlier and earlier. They have made me so sick of Christmas it turns my stomache. By the time it gets here it is no longer enjoyable. If it is a christian holiday leave it at that or call it what it has become, another retail money grabbing day. I'm still sick over that young man being trampled to death over black friday. Black souls is more like it. Sorry for the rant!
Whats the earliest you have put your tree up ? A week before Christmas and take it down the day after. Now I don't even bother.
I've gone up to people I don't know and have asked about their tattoos (I have 5).
Most people will carry on a decent conversation.
Hey, yeh ~ that just gave me MY answer to those questions!
Two years ago I noticed tattoos all over this guy, interesting tattoos of various "Indians", Jesus, New Agey stuff. . . So I just went up to him and asked if I could take a look. He paused graciously and let me take my time. Most of them were quite beautiful.
We don't have children but still enjoy the Christmas tree.
