pink ribbon

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Last night I finished watching the first episode of Dancing with the Stars. It was shocking! I don't know that DwtS has ever needed to cut out sound due to celebrity contestant language! And yes, I know someone who knows the cousin of that young dude from HannaH Montana.
.
In other news, we watched Heroes, my reaction : Huh? could it be more confusing?
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Do you like banana bread?

.
Today's Question of the Day? is:

When was the last time you were on a slip-n-slide?

eggs! in the fridge!

Dear QotD?ers,
.
We have perishable foods in the refrigerator and RamRom the Tumputer is out of the closet and hooked up for all my home computing needs. Hurricane Crazyness is officially over.
.
Anne shared some useful ear cleaning fact in yesterday's answers. Also, I believe a yellow bedroom is a very strange gift indeed.
.
Today's Question is going to be a two-parter. If you've ever been to a party, sleepover, 'get to know you' function or team building activity, you may have played the game Three Truths and One Lie. I don't know if that's actually the name of it, but it describes the gameplay. You provide the players with three truthful statements and one false statement about yourself. The other players then try to guess which one is the lie.
.
This is what it would sound like if George Washington was a QotD?er:
I was the first President of the United States.
I did not chop down that cherry tree.
I find powdered hair stylish.
I only had 1 tooth when I became president.
The more obscure the truths are, the better!
.
For tomorrow's Question, I will ask you to read through everyone's list and guess which is the lie. So save your speculations until tomorrow.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What are 3 truths and 1 lie about yourself?
.

Our refrigerator is now more clean than it has ever been and smells faintly of bleach. In it you will find some fresh ice, water pitcher, three oranges, 3 apples, 2 dishes of baking powder.
.

How often do you clean your ears?

Thank you, Centerpoint Energy

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Despite being in one of the crazy week-and-a-halfs of my life, I had a good birthday. I got to see some family (Matthew) and friends (Paris & Jackie), Midnight yell, afternoon football game in the shade (2nd deck, row 38), home cooked dinner, birthday brownies with ice cream (also cobbler). And the best present, the one I was really really hoping for: Our Apartment Has Power! (the in-laws also got power on Saturday)
.
That was a delightful suprise and life should get back to normal for us now. We cleaned out the fridge yesterday (only keeping a bottle of unopened worchestershire sauce & unopened fruit cups). The power had been on long enough to re-freeze everything and I think that helped with depressing the funk smell. Every part of the fridge has been wiped down or rinsed off. Tonight I'll probably go through again and scrub what needs scrubbing and do a final rinse with a bleach solution.
.
We have been so very lucky, but there are still so many people that have lost. Please keep praying for them, especially QotD?er Amanda and her family.
.

Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What was the (1) best, (2) strangest birthday gift you have ever recieved?
.
Love,
The Asker

Skinnamarinkydinkydink. Skinnamarinkydoo

Dear QotD?ers,
.
I've got a few pictures posted on my lj. Last night on tv we started watching the movie The Crow which I had never seen, but Justin had. I remember it being a scary movie that I shouldn't watch. Within the first few minutes, I could see why it was so scary and that was without the eyeball eating and stabbing scenes that were cut for TV airing. I was also very confused on the raven's part in the movie and how the 'good guy' was sooo creepy. Then we flipped to hilarious NBC sitcoms.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Why do people without power need ice?
.

P.S. "Un elefante se balanceaba" is remarkably close to the theme song for Sharon, Lois & Bram's The Elephant Show.
"One elephant went out to play
Upon a spider's web one day
She had such enormous fun
That she asked for another elephant to come"
