I’ve been thinking about this “question of the day” for some time now.  In my parent’s house, we had a clock in every room.  Sometimes we had (I think they still do have) several clocks in each room.  Wall clocks. Alarm clocks. Bathroom clocks. Grandfather clocks. Oven clocks. Microwave clocks. Kitchen radio clocks. Watches. Cell phones.  These things are everywhere.  The thing is…all the clocks were set to different times.  If you were late in one room, problem solved, just walk into the next room where the clock is 10 minutes slow.

So, what I don’t understand is why people set their clocks fast on purpose.  I took a small survey of people last week and most of them set their clocks fast by 5-10 minutes.  Why?!  I never can understand why people create an alternate reality to live in.  If you know your clock is set fast, how does that help you get ready and be on time?  (Not to mention how confusing it is for you when your digital clock or phone shows one time and your programmed clock shows another!)  Why not just set your clock to the real time and learn to live in reality?

Ok, so here’s the question of the day:  Do you set your clock fast? If so, how much?  Ready, Go.

I thought that knowing how to do jumping jacks was something that everyone knew how to do.  I was wrong. Very wrong.

The question for today is one that I know we have all had to answer.  The bowl contains an assorted selection of candy bars. Krackel. Mr.GoodBar. Dark Chocolate.  You reach in and grab…?

The details are not really important as to why, but here I am on the last day to file taxes. I have no idea what I’m doing.  Enter TurboTax.  They ask questions like the following:

Is there an option on that list that shouldn’t be?  Maybe I just don’t know what I’m doing…

Short post today, but it comes with a question.  I’m compiling a mental list of all the things that we seem to buy for “other” people.  These are things that you buy at the grocery store, gas station, target, or walmart if you have all day to wait in line…

I think I have the top 2 so far, but I could use your help.  I think, in no particular order, we buy:

  • gum
  • advil

for the “others” in our lives.  Would you agree? What else do we buy at the store, give to everyone else, or ask everyone else for because we never seem to have it with us?

Go.
