Dear QotD?ers,This is what we did this weeked, walked a 5k in Houston! There weren't any official timing devices for walkers: so going by a watch, our time was 45 minutes! Not bad, considering that we hadn't been practicing/training. I am feeling it today. It was lovely on Saturday, but already this evening it's gotten windy and cold again.

I'd spend the day with the Pres at Disney. I'm assuming they would close the park for security, so we'd get the whole park to ourselves! I can imagine we could have a lot of fun, and then we'd eat all the mickey mouse ice creams that we wanted!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Would you rather ride a fish or a large chicken?

Love,
The Asker

A day of [choice]

Dear QotD?ers,

Today we had a potluck at work! There was delicious variety.
As we were leaving the house this morning, Justin saw a cat and rolled down the window* and I talked to it, but it wasn't very responsive.

I agree with marshmallow Q, D, ?, !, ducks and add computer shape, magic cosmic swirls and a free boat.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Would you rather spend a day with the President at Disney World or with Tom Hanks at arts and science museums? Why?

Love,
The Asker

*it's possible that he was just rolling down the window to squeege off the frosty moisture...

puffed sugar!

Dear QotD?ers,

I like the carmel delights, what used to be called 'Samoas.' My favorite used to be thin mints.

mm, I have some nice delicious hot chocolate. I still find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, mainly because it's all warm and snuggly under the covers. I could look forward to extra snuggly time on Saturday, but we will be participating in the Houston Rodeo Run 5k! We are going to walk it, and we haven't trained, so we might be over 45min. but Justin and I just might crank it out... never know!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What marshmallow shapes would you design for QotD? cereal?

Love,
The Asker

COOKIE

Dear QotD?ers,

I have some family pictures on the fridge currently. I do have many family photos framed and waiting to go up somewhere. I'm still trying to decide where I want to put everyone, though I'm thinking it will be the wall where the Christmas cards went. Would it be odd for a light switch to be in the middle of a bunch of family photos?

Today's Quesiton of the Day? is:

What is your favorite kind of Girl Scout Cookie?

Love,
The Asker

Dear QotD?ers,

Yesterday it was 70ºF. tomorrow the high will be 49ºF. crazy Texas. We had lasagna soup tonight which was remarkably tastey

"Have a fantastic (day/afternoon/evening/night) and be safe!" I say that a lot generally, so I should be able to pull it off well.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Do you have a lot of family photos hanging up in your home?

Love,

Dear QotD?ers,

Hearing bad news from the dentist would be aweful.

This was a three day weekend and I got quite a bit done. took in the recycling, went to the dentist (I heard only good news!), made returns at hobby lobby, did lots of laundry, did lots of ironing and watching movies while ironing that ironing. Stations of the Cross Friday night. Saw some friends for dinner Saturday night, grocery shopping. Did I mention the ironing? because it seems like I spent forever doing that.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

If you were some sort of cheesey newscaster, what would your sign-off/catch-phrase be?

bad news

Dear QotD?ers,

I ate chocolate and cookies on Fat Tuesday. hooray!
Ugh, I hate complaining about being cold all the time, but my feet are so cold! Why did that groundhog have to see his shadow? :*[

The pizza lunch was great. I had three slices, two of which included olives and mushrooms. and my feet are so cold!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Who is the worst person to hear non-fatal bad news from?

Love,
The Asker

FAT

Dear QotD?ers,

I GET TO GO TO A PIZZA PARTY TOMORROW! ok, so it's just a work meeting where there will be pizza... SO ITS A PIZZA PARTY! HOORAY!

answer: I'd be cozied up in some blankets on a lawn chair enjoying the sunset and watching the cats chase the birds.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Did you do anything gluttonous for Mardi Gras?

Love,
The Asker

I talk to cats

Dear QotD?ers,

I would have Justin speak with a british accent. MWAHAHAHAHA.

Yesterday there was a cat in the front yard and Justin called me out to see it. We had a pretty good conversation and the cat actually came over to check me out. That is, until it realized that I was People and not Friendly Cat Friend and then it ran across the neighbors yard. That's probably the best cat conversation I've ever had!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What's the best activity for a cold July night when the wind is low, the birds are abundant and no one can hear you but the neighbors in their backyard?

Love,
The Asker

oh, i'm getting sleepy

Dear QotD?ers,

If you haven't checked yesterday's comments: Jackie is engaged! to my brother! I am so very excited for the both of them.

I saw the ducks again as I drove home. I took my stuff inside, grabbed my camera and walked back down the street to feed them some bread and take a picture. But some woman walking a big barky dog got there before I did and they had scrambled across the street and were swimmning away in the pond before I got within bread-throwing distance. sigh. maybe tomorrow.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Assuming it would be possible, what goofy thing would you want your best friend, newly hypnotized, to do on command?

games or love

Dear QotD?ers,

This weekend we went to see some friends and had a great time playing many games of Killer Bunnies, even though I never won. pictionary also got pretty rediculous. REDICULOUSLY FUN! For those of you who remember Bob/Rashaun from college, we were visiting him and his wife, Angela. They now have QotD? bookmarked and may be participating soon (or already).

I love IHOP hot chocolate.

I was a latchkey kid! at ages 8&9 and then junior high. That sounds pretty young, so I must have been mature for my age, or Mom got hom shortly after the buss dropped me off.

Somebody has some super good news. I'm hoping they will be able to share it with all of us soon :D

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Which did you spend more time on this weekend, Olympics of Valentines?

Love,
The Asker

latchkey

Dear QotD?ers,

Some of you have magic and wonderous snow in the DFW area. I am really jealous. I've seen some pictures and it looks fantastic. TamiJean, Skittl, Angel-A, Alex, your snow is enduring and terrifying.

Yesterday I got a collect call from the Harris County Jail. Anna ~something~ was making the request and then the recorded message got all weird. I started talking about #76 or something. That's the point I hung up. A good thing too, it turns out that people all around the plant were getting these phone calls and it was a PHONE SCAM!!! Once you accepted the collect call, your number would be billed for who-knows-what!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Were (are) you a latchkey kid? What ages?

bonus for parent participants: what about your kids?

Love,
The Asker

feel sorry for them?

Dear QotD?ers,

Yesterday and today we have seen ducks in the yard across from the fake lake. It appears to be a mallard with two of his lovely ladies. If I'd had stale bread, I would have thrown it out of my window at them as we drove past. I hear they make quite a mess if they live in your flower bed, but that's at least 7 houses down!

For dinner tonight we had tacos, with taco meat.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

If someones one phonecall from jail was to you, and it was a wrong number, what would you do?

Love,

100% Cotton vs 100% hollywood

Dear QotD?ers,

Tonight we had a dinner of spaghetti and meatballs while watching Dr. Who, and then watched LOST! No, the show isn't getting any less complicated. And tonights episode focused on one of my least favorite characters. booo.

Is anyone interested in Valentine's themed questions?

Someone might choose gold dollars because those are the most awesome monies to use at the Renaisannce Festival!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Why would you choose a free t-shirt over free movie tickets?

it's a random question

Dear QotD?ers,

last night I had a dream. It was a dinosaur adventure dream! A bunch of people I know where trying to save ourselves by penning a raptor inside a chainlink fence. That ended up not working and a fat guy got eaten. Someone had a giant piece of cardboard and we WRAPPED IT AROUND IT REAL QUICK-LIKE, because cardboard would keep the teeth and claws from tearing us apart. Sometime soon after, the raptor became and aligator and the crowd became me and Justin. Now, I'm sure that a crazy dream aligator has just as much intent to eat me as a raptor, so I wanted to subdue the gator! incapacitate it! tie it up! kill it! something! But Justin insisted that we didn't hurt it. He wouldn't even fetch duct tape for me so I could warp up its snout. At this point I am single-handedly wrestling the alligator, though it's shrunk down to 3'. Justin wanted to just lock it up in a living room until animal control could be called. BUT IT STILL WANTS TO EAT ME. There is some glaring and grumbling and I have to lock all the living room doors (there are 4) before I feel safe putting an alligator in there. One door doesn't have a lock, so I'm goign to have to put a sign saying "Alligator! keep out!" and hope people pay attention. I toss the alligator in, slam the door...
and wake up.

We never permanently adopted strays, but there were some stray cats that I would feed milk and cheese slices and plead to keep.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Why would someone choose 6 gold dollars over free tickets to a movie?

Love,
The Asker

animal charity

Dear QotD?ers,

I didn't even watch the SuperBowl! Justin bought Star Trek Online, a video game that allows him to fly through space and shoot lasers and then run around with a tricorder. I guess it's real awesome because he was playing that this afternoon. So I was playing my own computer game. I think that spike tv has put all of the commercials on the internet, if you want to see them.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Have you ever adopted a stray pet, or fed and cared for it for some time?

Love,
The Asker

mega tv event

Dear QotD?ers,

I'd like to see a dinosaur adventure movie with more water and air mobile dinosaurs. and lots of herbavore battle action by stegasaurous and triceratops.

Tomorrow is my Friday off and I'm looking forward to sleeping late in a warm cozy bed. I'd also like to make a trip to the library and stock up on some good reading material.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Did you know that the Super Bowl is this weekend? Will you be watching it for sports, commercials or halftime shows?

Love,
The Asker

rawreeeooo!

Dear QotD?ers,

At work I have an 'ergonomic'c chair at an 'ergonomic' desk. The chair, my body and the desk don't all fit well together. boo! I use the 'guest' chair instead. it's not rolly or adjustable, but at least it fits better.

We are currently watching Jurrasic Park III !!! Justin has not seen it, but I saw it in the theatre when it came out. No one else wanted to see it, so I went by myself and I dressed up all nice. It's dramatic and full of dinosaurs and foolishness! Which dinosaurs will try to eat them next!?!? Actually, that's not a bad question

Today's Question of the Day? is:

If you were writing a screenplay about adventurers on a dinosaur island, which dinosaurs would you feature most and why?

Loooove,
The Askersaur

SIT IN IT

Dear QotD?ers,

Well, I've watched 3 hours of LOST related television, including commercials. I don't know that I feel very satisfied with what I've got so far. For thsoe of you who answerd about the smoke monster, thank you! They were all pretty good answers, considering the subject material

I wish I had more to entertian you with today, but I'm out. I've got nuthin'.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What sort of chair do you use most?

Love,
The Asker

it's a LOST question, you can be confused like the rest of us!

Dear QotD?ers,

"Did we get drunk?" My favorites are Angel-A's first option and Sweetie Pie's. Good job girls!

Tonight we watched The Persuit of Happyness, which was a good movie. I bet if I had watched it in a theatre I would have been more sad with more crying, but we watched it after work while we were making and eating dinner, so I just cried at the very end.

The first episode of the last season of LOST is this tuesday night!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

No need to have any knowledge about LOST, since it probably wouldn't result in a better answer.. What is the story with the 'smoke monster', or as Justin and I call it: the alien-dinosaur?

Love,
The Asker
