You know when it's windy when....

It only takes half an hour to dry the clothes on the washing line, and that included towels.  We get some blustery winds up here, but Monday's wind was very, very windy.  Our hydro/electricity also went out for a while.  I guess that had to do with the wind also.


It was also humid on Monday, I had to put the de-humidifier on in the basement to clear out the humidity in there. We got up to around 20 oC/68 oF.  It just seems like yesterday that I was complaining about how cold it was.


To answer a question from yesterday, the llama's are all on farms.

As you know I am a member of Swagbucks.  Every day I go to the site and get swagbucks for various things.  You get 1 swagbuck per day for answering the daily poll question.  Today's question was:

Do you wash your hands after using the washroom/toilet?

Can you believe some people answered NO?  I find that hard to believe that people would not wash their hands after using the toilet.  Isn't it something that you were taught from an early age, both male and female?  I can't think of a reason not to wash your hands, can you?

Bathroom habits........and other "stuff!"

I know bit of a strange thing to talk about, but something is puzzling me and has been for quite some time now.

Do you have magazines and books in your bathrooms?  The reason I ask this is, when I go to use the toilet the last thing I think of doing is reading a book or a magazine.  If I want to read a book, I prefer a more comfy seat.  Also when I go to the toilet I am in and out in as short a possible time.  Why do some people like to hang about in the bathroom for half an hour at a time?

The guys I worked with used to take the newspapers into the bathroom and you wouldn't see them for half an hour.  What on earth were they doing for half an hour????    Is this a man thing only?

I got a number of books in the mail on Thursday from a new to me online store, called Christianbookdotcom  It's an American site, but for us Canadians they ship out of Canada too, the warehouse is around an hour from where I live.  Great service, super prices and a good variety.

I paid $40 USD for all those books and the Waltons dvd, that includes $7.50 for shipping and 5% GST.  They were mainly 99 cents each, including the dvd.  I did pay $9.99 for the Kim Vogel Sawyer, "Sommerfield Trilogy" which of course is for three books!!

I will of course donate the books to the local library when I have read them, like always.
