Ever put your heavy groceries on the belt first with the hope they'll actually be put in the cart first and not crush everything? Does it EVER work?

I'm probably going to jinx myself, and I rarely purchased many items at a store anyway, but it seems to me that they load the merchandise in the order they scan it. I might have some beverages that are heavy in a case of 12, and I put that on the belt first. I think they go ahead and bag those as they occur.

Have you left something you paid for at a store recently?

That is probably my biggest concern if I am actually purchasing several plastic bags worth of merchandise. I can never tell if I have them all or not. I have caught them telling me that I have everything before and I reached around and found a bag with some of my paid merchandise in it, so they are not foolproof.

No but my wife left her keys on the counter at Kroger one time. The little old lady behind her in line apparently thought they looked like hers and picked them up. They had her on video but of course had no idea who she was. They called us 3 or 4 days later and said they had them back.

Ever left a store with the security tag still on items you've just purchased? We had this happen at an outlet mall about 20 miles out of town. Of course the alarms kept going off but everyone was so busy they would just say go on, it does that all the time lol. Luckily I was able to talk someone at a store much closer to home into removing them once we discovered the problem.

I have, a long time ago. Can't remember how it was resolved, but did.

Are you currently sitting at your office watching online professional education courses to make sure you get your credits in before the end of the year? (6 hours of it I'm getting....over the next week or so....)

No I am not. I completed the course hours back in Feb.

Do you have more than one television in your house?

Yes - (2) people, five television sets.

Can you find all the remotes to your TV's?

If my daughter is away at College, yes. If she is home, no. I don't know what happens when she's home, but they disappear.

Are your outside faucets covered or insulated in preparation for the hard freeze?

No sir they are not, but they are all freeze proof models.

Do you subscribe to any print magazines or new papers?

Birmingham News, but only 2 or 3 days a week. I rarely read it.
Wall Street Journal during the Fall.
Birmingham Business Journal weekly.
Birmingham Magazine monthly.
Sports Illustrated (my son, but I can sometimes read it since it comes to the house).
280 Living (local newspaper)
One Voice (weekly Catholic newspaper)
Alabama print newsletter concerning court decisions and legislation.
Alabama Lawyer monthly magazine.
Probably a few more. I'm old school. Still like print publications to hold in my hand and read. Oh, and my daughters get those trash magazines like People or US or something, I dunno. I see those from time to time.

Do you have any DIGITAL subscriptions to newspapers or magazines online?

Not anymore, I find I either don’t have the time to read them on regular basis, or I don’t take the time to read them.

Have you already got your Christmas decorations taken down... including outside ?

Yes. Now. Wouldn't have been when you asked, though.

Have you broken any New Year's Resolution yet?

Yes. Resolved not to take my phone to bed and scroll through stuff before sleep. I think it lasted a day.

Have you ever installed a doorknob? (I'm working up the courage to try. Has me a little intimidated.)

Yep. Installed the one in the picture in the other thread.

Have you recently put your foot so far in your mouth that you have to undo your fly to trim your toenails?
I did recently.
I called a lady, sir. That is something that is a byproduct of the stroke. Doesn't happen often but when it does, oh boy. Lady was working at a counter, slightly large and with a mustache, and I called her sir.

It's already been answered, but I've probably installed 10. I promise, I am the LEAST "handy" guy on the board. As long as the door knob fits the already-cut hole, you're good. Everything else is drag-and-drop easy. Sometimes I've had to fiddle a little with the placement of the strike plate to make sure the latch goes in easily, but that's easy, too.

Did you notice it immediately and correct it, or allow her (him) to correct it? Details!

I can't recall RECENTLY putting my foot in my mouth terribly, but it has happened so often in my life that it just sort of is like water off a duck's back to me now, so I may have forgotten.

Do you use a notebook/legal pad/stenographer's book/something like that regularly to do a manual "to do" list?

Backstory: After my stroke the one lingering effect is not being able to say a word when I want to. I can think of it, visualize it, even write it down. After a little bit, I can read it. One of the first phrases I said to Grammy when she asked what I wanted for lunch at Olive Garden, I said Soup, Salad and Umbrellas instead of Soup, salad and breadsticks. Other than that I am back baby and Praise God and then some. But along with that I will say Ma'am to a fellow and Sir to a lady. It doesn't always happen but boy with this lady, Grammy was with me and she politely said, "Honey, you called this lady, sir."
And when I went to apologize and explain, all Hell broke loose. She advised us that "that was alright, she knew what I meant." Proceeded to get real nasty. I advised her that whatever she perceived, that was not the case and I tried to apologize, again.
She wouldn't hear it, so I said believe me Ma'am, I did not intend it as a slight and started to walk on away. She said something charming, I did not hear or care to, but Grammy did...well, it didn't end up to well for the young lady. Let's just leave it at that ...glad I don't get on Grammy's bad side too often...

Interesting story, Pappy, and in the grand scheme of things, it's "sand." Something unimportant. (It's the old story of the mason jar, filled with golf balls and sand.)

Repeating my question to get the thread going again-- Do you use a notebook/legal pad/stenographer's book/something like that regularly to do a manual "to do" list?

I make to-do lists all the time, usually just on scrap paper because I have to destroy the evidence before Mrs. Catfan sees how much I didn't get done.

Have you ever gotten tired of people posting pictures of their kids on facebook just to get attention?

No. But only my wife has Facebook, so there's that.

Had you forgotten about this thread?

Completely.

Have you begun any spring yard work like trimming shrubs, fertilizing, mulching, etc?

Lord no I have not. It is still going to snow again before spring. Our weather never really settles into a springlike pattern until after Easter.

Did you ever purposely start a fire using a magnifying glass as the source of ignition?

Yes, but it has been many years. At least, my old memory seems to remember doing that. Hasn't happened in years, though.

Have you mowed your lawn yet this year (mine is in desperate need of it--not grass mowing, but weeds, apparently. No, my home will never be the showcase lawn...)

No, haven’t mowed yet, however I am going to fertilize this weekend.... I know, I Know, when you fertilize you have to mow more, counter-productive.

Have you ever been cooking/grilling and dropped something on the floor/ground either going on or coming off and still served it?... without mentioning it?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No

The food dropped after or during grilling belongs to the cook at my house.

Do you have an operating aquarium in your house?

No

Wish I did, but do not want to take care of it.

Is anyone else just now seeing or remembering this thread for the first time? (I am apparently)

Yes. Forgot about it.

Anyone want to help me finance the purchase of a bar? Yes I know this is putting the fox in charge of the hen house.

How much are palm fronds going for these days?

No.

I had two friends who hit a large plaintiff class case. They had more money than sense, so they thought they'd open up a bar. Thought they'd save on their own bar tab.

I formed the legal entity and helped them with miscellaneous agreements. In the end, as bar owners, they were great lawyers.

It was a very cool place, though.

Been to a new restaurant or bar lately?

I think we need to seriously consider a weed dispensary. That’ll eliminate the “kid in the candy store” syndrome (at least for me) all the while making a boat load of money.

Yes. Blaze pizza. Just OK IMO, wife really liked it.

Does your immediate family own a pick up truck?

No, 3 SUVs (down from 4) and a van, but no pick up truck. Would like one some day.

Do you (or have you in the past) counted your daily steps?

Have you ever posted on KSR while at work sitting in a meeting??

I want to hear your answer, but for me, no. While "listening" to my wife? Sure. :)

Have you bought something recently that exceeded your expectations?

I actually typed that question while working yesterday, I don’t recall ever making a response in a meeting, but I’m sure I’ve read thread pieces while in a meeting.

My iPhone 7+. My son had been trying to get me to switch from androids for a couple of years and finally did. This thing is awesome!

Have you ever woken up with half of one of your eyes blood red? I did last Sunday and it’s just now starting to look a little better. I’m going to miss freaking people out with it.

I don't think I have, at least not that I remember. I have awakened before with both eyes swollen shut, where I could barely peeking out after apparently rubbing my eyes while grilling shrimp. Of course, I have a shellfish allergy. I thought I had been careful. Hard to be careful enough.

Have you filed your tax return yet?

I do not know. We decided to use Avenatti's CPA this year

Have you read a thread on Kentucky Sports Report that is more than 5 years old recently? (I have...)

Yes, I went back and read through a couple of years of the this thread.

Have you personally washed a vehicle by hand since the beginning of spring.

(I have not)

No, but having my truck hand detailed today by a college kid that does this on the side.


Do you guys believe UK will win more than 6 games in Football in 2024?

I think eight wins is doable and would be a good season but I’m still hoping for 9 or even 10.

Would you rather be too hot or too cold?
