MEME: Monday Madness -- Potpourri




Otto reaches into the grab bag, looks at the mess in her hand and exclaims:
“This week's questions are totally unrelated to one another; just a 'pot pourri' of randomness! Have a great week and thanks for playing!”

1. When putting groceries away, do you rotate your food so your newest items (cans and such) are in the back, and older food in the front?

Huh? I consider it a good omen if they get put away before they need to be used... Does writing the date a jar is opened on the lid count?

  1. Do you own a digital camera? If so, how long have you had one? If not, do you plan to purchase one soon? Yep, the Mrs. And I got ourselves one for Christmas last year. It's been fun, too. Good thing we haven't got servants who'd post OUR movie on the Internet!

    3. How do you store your precious photos?

    On CD's, in photo albums, on slides and in the original processing envelopes. One of the things I am not is organized – I lack the attention span to get the job done.

    4. It's 6:00 am. and you've just lost power due to a severe thunderstorm; they say it will probably take at least 12 hours before power will be restored; what do you do?
    Get dressed. Tape the refrigerator and freezer doors shut with a big NO! in red Sharpie and go to town to get coffee and a bagel to hold me over until lunch (I'm diabetic).

    5. How many times a year do you (or does someone dear to you) wax your automobile? Twice a year.

    6. Gas prices; what can we say except they've reached an all-time high. How are you dealing with this?

    Poorly. And getting poorer every day. It bodes ill for this winter. Last year's heat was over two grand – this year? I suspect I'll end up with frostbitten toes...

    7. Have you ever purchased a book or cd twice, forgetting that you already had it?

    More times than I can count. It is happening more frequently, too. Sucks to get old.

    Have a great week, comrades. Summer is almost over and the tourists will be fleeing south along with the geese. Yay!
