    House Hunters

    I watch it all the time and have done so forever. I don't even care that it's set up. I love seeing other people's homes and deciding which one I would choose.

    Teenager Before Smartphones

    I'm thankful that I was a teenager pre smartphone and social media. I believe I was a better problem solver, better communicator, more patient, less anxiety ridden, let past relationships remain in the past, more confident, more independent, less vain, and so on than most teenagers today.

    When was the last time you were in your local police station?

    During the summer. Our local police station is a drop off location for old, expired, prescription and OTC meds. I had a few bags from my parents to get rid of. This is a great way to safely dispose of unwanted no longer used meds.

    What did you spend a lot of money on that you ended up hating?

    Knocked a wall down between our kitchen and dining room to make one large kitchen area. I don't hate it but I don't like it now either. I miss the coziness of my former kitchen with a kitchen table and separate dining area. Never use the new dishwasher either. I didn't really want one because I...

    Self-checkout etiquette - is it rude to start scanning while someone else is still there?

    Some people are so self-absorbed they don't even think. Just this week, the cashier had just finished ringing up my order and I was standing at the end bagging my groceries when the woman behind me came right up to the debit machine to put her card in for her order. At the same time the cashier...

    What's the worst thing a teacher did to you at school?

    A teacher wrongly accused me of leaving my lunch tray in the lunch room without cleaning up, based on other kids telling him who was sitting there. I absolutely always cleaned up after myself and I actually had to stay after for detention for that. This still annoys me when I think of it (40...
