Questions of The Day / GTKY (2.28.2015 - Weekend Edition)

[wittyandwaiting]

Things slow down on the weekends so I figure I'll just post a one set of questions and call it the weekend edition. Happy Saturday all!

1. Name something you think will become obsolete in ten years.

2. If you were a shoe, what kind would you be and why?

3. What’s one of your favourite things to do by yourself?

1. Home telephones
2. Um... I guess a sparkly pink one! Then I would hopefully be a favorite shoe that gets to go on nice dates?! lol I have no idea!!
3. Shopping- I love to browse and look and go up / down every aisle at my own pace!

1. I'm kind of a ludite, so I don't feel qualified to answer this question, ha ha- although I do agree about home phones. I also feel like computers are shifting more towards tablets/smaller interfaces, so I'll say desktops and laptops.

2. My Merrell barefoot shoes which I wish I could afford in every color and only wear because they are soooo comfy and practical and that's me


3. I am an introvert, so I need to be alone to recharge. My favorite things to do are yoga, vegging on the computer, reading, singing, watching Netflix. I also like going on walks by myself.

1. Cable TV as we know it today. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

2. Running shoe. I wish I could wear them all the time.

3. Most thing I prefer to do by myself but def read.

[wittyandwaiting]

1. Daily newspapers. Sadly.

2. I thought long and hard about this and decided that I'd be this shoe:

It's casual, feminine, flexible and fairly resilient, it also seems like it wouldn't get too sweaty and it doesn't get tied up.

3. I also need downtime on my own to recharge. Enjoy reading, puzzle games on my phone and Netflix.

Yes! That's the one!!

1. I think cable TV will be obsolete in 20 years. Does that count?

2. A purple one! Something practical and walk-able, but with some attitude:



3. I like to curl up and watch sitcoms with my cat. Friends is the current favorite, but I also have liked New Girl, How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory are also up there on my list.

[mrsnorris]

1. CDs, TV as something separate from the internet, credit/debit cards and checks

2. A flip-flop. Comfy, no-frills, and practical.

3. Shop and use the computer.

Im with w&w- newspapers. Its also possible my kid will never use a phone with a cord- which begs the question How did he know what that toy with the face and the dial was for?

Im probably a pair of Chuck Taylors nerdy, retro with a bit of flair, and possibly kindof sweaty. ( I dont own any since Im incredibly flat footed.) Im the most like my orange gymshoe/mary jane combo. But I kinda like my Red Wing Irish Setter side. .

Soak in the freaking bathtub. Im the mother who has put her shrieking child in the crib and taken a quick shower when it all was unravelling. But normally Im a tub person. The true purpose of a book with actual pages is that you can read in the tub. Having a relaxing bath without several sets of eyes peering at me- both canine and human -- is a mere memory.

Checks. J and I haven't even bought checks in 5 years.

You know the cheapo old navy flip flops that they sell every spring/ summer? That's totally me

I love to cook alone, especially elaborate meals. I love to cook and it helps me unwind. Other than that, I would love to be able to use the bathroom alone again. Those were the days lol.

Those flip flops are the BEST

1. Agree with newspapers, CDs & checks! Probably land line telephones too.

2. A ballet flat.

3. Shop for clothes! I tend to take a really long time, and I hate feeling like I am holding other people up.
