I think I ask a lot of questions like this. I guess American capitalism is just in my veins or something.

  1. When did you last eat or drink something purchased from a truck or other wheeled vehicle?
  2. When did you last purchase something previously owned?
  3. When did a purchase most recently exceed your expectations?
  4. When did you last overpay for something because you needed it right away?
  5. Among recent purchases, what was the best bargain?

Thanks for participating, and have a lovely, wonderful, delicious, safe weekend!

  3. What are you waiting your tern for?
  4. Who do you suspect is robin you blind?

Today is a state holiday where I live, and although we just had the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S., I really need this day off! Maybe I’ll have time to actually answer my own questions this week!

  1. How’s your sense of hearing?
  2. When did you most memorably swear to do (or not do) something?
  3. What trouble have you caused without anyone important ever finding out?
  4. How gracefully do you handle losing?
  5. What would you like to get to the bottom of, sometime this weekend?

Thank you for participating, and have a lovely, safe weekend!
