4 day weekend

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Yes! a 4 day weekend! Happy Labor Day (Monday)!
I was not aware that pregnancy messes with bone structure. I will remember this for later.
.
Gustav is still undedicded, but it looks like we still will see no effects. Regardless, we should have had our hurricane ride-out snacks all sumer. That will be one of this morning's missions.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What non-perishable food would you most like to have* if you were going to be without power for 1.5 days?
.
Love,
The Asker
.
*Please avoid "foods that I would need for my sanity" like alcohol or tranquilizers for the dogs downstairs.

Act your age, not your...

Dear QotD?ers,
.
No, I don't have today off, but I do have a meeting today off-site. I have been thinking about you though.
.
Amanda, I am jealous that you got to have lunch with Matthew and Jackie. Matthew and Jackie, I'm jealous that you got to have lunch with Amanda. You should all come have lunch with me!
.
Gustav is still on the radar, but he's not as exciting as we thought he would be. It looks like our labor day exended weekend will be unaffected. I will probably purchase some water and non-perishable snacks this afternoon to be held until hurrican season is over. Just in case there are other hurricanes on the way that may actually effect our power supply.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What's your shoe size?

Sometimes, Sci-Fi books assume that Soviet Russia will exist in the future

Dear QotD?ers,
.
I'm reading a sci-fi novel written in the 50's.
.
I think Gustav is headed towards New Orleans on Monday. If so, it will be a terrible Labor day for them. There is a small chance I will get a hurricane day on Tuesday, but I'm so far from the coast we would only be risking power outages.
.
I appreciate all the answers yesterday and knew who most of them were! ALF wins! Evie I sort of remember, but I get her mixed up with the "small Wonder" robot-girl. Justin, good choices. If only Riker was an alien... I dont' remember hypnotoad. I don't really like Q and his arrogance. Mom, ET still scares me unless it's in spanish. Alicia, I remember when that show came out. It was hilarious.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
How would you feel about a hurricane having your name? (Alicia can answer from experience)
.
Love,

"It was like being in a Final Fantasy Game"

Dear QotD?ers,
.
The Olympic closing ceremonies were Sunday. I missed the and asked a co-worker how they were. His response is the title of today's post. I went to the NBC website last night and figured out how to watch their Olympic videos, so I watched the hours worth of closing ceremonies footage. favorite part: JACKIE CHAN!
.
BREAKING NEWS: Hurricane Gustav!
He won't hit for another two weeks, anywhere between the Florida panhandle and Mexico... So, um, get your hurricane kits ready?
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
With all the science fiction out there, what/who is your favorite alien?

"Paul free! in van number two!"

Dear QotD?ers,
.
I just had a 3-day weekend. It confused me so much that I thought it was actually a week later that it really was. I've gotten my days confused before, but never my weeks. Good thing that this week is only 4 days too! HOORAY!
.
For those of you interested in a QotD? challenge, I have one for you! I would like to have a Rorschach inkblot theme week, but since this is QotD? I need it to be a little strange. I'm calling upon you to create some Rorschach condiment-blots. Get some ketchup, mustard or your favorite condiment or sauce; put some on a paper plate (or suitable substitute), fold the paper plate in half, photograph the 'inkblot' and e-mail it to me. I'll then use your blot as part of a question.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What is your favorite TV show of all times?

I've got juice!

Dear QotD?ers,
.
Yesterday's question didn't seem very popular, but I thank all of you who did answer. I was very pleased with stories of 35 drums, nutant ants, horrifying gas station restrooms and shedding.
.
You might be saying to yourself, "I know it's Friday, but she was off last Friday, how come she didn't post her question promptly at 7:15ish?" If so, here's the asnwer: I had a doctor appointment this morning and decided I wanted to take a day of vacation rather than drive 100 miles for the sake of being at work for 4 hours.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
Are you feeling lucky?
.
Love,

Dear QotD?ers,
