I've missed so many questions over the last two weeks. My MIL went into the hospital and passed away last Sunday morning. The first week was mostly spent by her bedside and last week was planning her funeral. It feels strange and sad with all the family gone back to their homes.


So sorry for your loss.

Let's see, my encounters with the police have been for a ticket a very, very long time ago and when our house was broken into 16 years ago.

Hmmm, I would like to go to a seafood buffet. I've never been to one.

That's all I can remember off of the top of my head. No, wait a minute, I do remember one more. I make Sugar and Spice Pecans at Christmas. And I have received one of Mickeyfan's crocheted hand towels. Those are awesome!

So sorry for your loss. :sad1:
 
Have you ever had an encounter with the police? If so, tell us your story ;) .

Three times in my life. First time me (17y.o) and my boyfriend were pulled over for speeding (he was driving) and I got us off by asking the officer nicely to please let us go, that we didn't know we were speeding.

Second time was for speeding too, only I was driving and I was speeding. I don't know what possessed me to go so fast, but we were all eating in the car and laughing, not paying attention to how many cars I was passing. Totally shocked me when the sirens went off and I was getting out of their way, when I noticed it was ME they were after! The officer let me off for that one too.

My husband said I was laying on the charm!

Third time was when our house was robbed and vandalized very badly. Police came to the house to take a report. I remember how surreal it all felt as the officer brought a dining room chair outside to the garage to talk to me. (one of the few pieces of furniture still fit to sit on)
 

Remember those coin machines where you put in a quater or fifty cents, and you get a plastic container with some cheapy toy, ring, sticker.... if you were to make a machine that took only a five dollar bill, and put something better into that plastic container, what would it be?
 
Thanks everyone!

I can't imagine putting a five dollar bill into a vending machine but if I did I better be getting something really good back. :)
 
Last night was a hectic night, so I didn't get to posting the QOTD then, but here it is :).

If you were to order a steak at a restaurant, what type of steak, how would you like it prepared, and what one side dish would you like with it?
 
New York steak (had one on the cruise...yum ), lightly seasoned, grilled, medium. Loaded baked potato on the side.
 
Whatever steak they serve at the Rose & Crown. It was wonderful! And whatever they want to give me as a side is good.
 
So today while we were at the store, I had seen something that just made me :scared: :eek: :headache: . This boy who was maybe 12-14 years old, was brushing his hair with one of the hairbrushes that were being sold :headache: . So, today's QOTD is-

Have you seen anything out of the ordinary, or something that made you discussed?

I like a small steak, so a fillet mignon, well done with a big buttered baked potato and some baby carrots on the side.

Once I saw a lady try on some lipstick (on her lips!) and then put the tube back on the rack!
 
If you were given a months supply of _____________, what would you choose? It has to be something that won't go over $500.00.
 
I would choose a month's supply of groceries. My monthly grocery bill comes to a little more than that so $500 would do.

Or, I wouldn't mind restaurant gift cards. We don't spend $500 a month in going out to eat but I wouldn't turn it away.

Gas would be even better (edited to say that I mean gasoline:rolleyes1 ;) ).
 
I would also like the gasoline or store gift cards-I love recieving gift cards :goodvibes . Groceries are good as well since I spend ALOT each month.

I can't think of anything else at the moment.
 
I love gift cards too.
Scrapbooking store cards, I could totally use up $500 in a month, easy.
Gasoline or groceries would help the family, so that is what I would choose.
