Wacky Wednesday Poll

1)  Color of the shirt you have on + the last thing you ate = Your band name. What would be yours?

2) Pet Peeve?

3) What bookmark are you using right now? If you only read ebooks or listen to audio books, tell us what you used back in the dark ages before all the e-gizmos.

    1)  Color of the shirt you have on + the last thing you ate = Your band name. What would be yours?

    Blue Grapes!
    2) Pet Peeve?

    Do I have to stop with 1? Talking to me while I'm reading. Not replacing the toilet paper roll.  Using too much paper towels and toilet paper.  I could go on, but I think I will stop there.

    3) What bookmark are you using right now? If you only read ebooks or listen to audio books, tell us what you used back in the dark ages before all the e-gizmos.

    I don't use one.  I just try to remember the page number.  It's silly since I have like 80, I just never have one close by.

    1)  Color of the shirt you have on + the last thing you ate = Your band name. What would be yours?  Black Watermelon

    2) Pet Peeve?  People who stop at a yield sign.  YIELD DOESN'T MEAN STOP!  Also, people who slow down before turning on their blinker.  I don't like wondering why you're slowing down!

    3) What bookmark are you using right now? If you only read ebooks or listen to audio books, tell us what you used back in the dark ages before all the e-gizmos.  Bookmarks or plane tickets.

    Ugh. There are two that do this at least once a week. One will clip her toenails!!! All grooming should be done at home! Especially if it means bits of your nails are flying all over the place.

  • 1)  Color of the shirt you have on + the last thing you ate = Your band name. What would be yours? Gray Bagel :-)

    2) Pet Peeve? Someone taking the last snack from a box but leaving the box...it gets my hopes up and then major disappointment when it is empty :-(

    3) What bookmark are you using right now? If you only read ebooks or listen to audio books, tell us what you used back in the dark ages before all the e-gizmos. A bright colorful paper bookmark printed from the Book Barn :-)

    2) Pet Peeve? Let's just make this easy and put my SIL. Because everything she does is my pet peeve.

    3) What bookmark are you using right now? If you only read ebooks or listen to audio books, tell us what you used back in the dark ages before all the e-gizmos. A breast cancer awareness plastic ribbon on a stick that says "Strength". MIL and I helped at a fundraiser and got to keep a bunch of leftovers because we read so much. We have "Strength", "Hope", etc.

    1. Black Smoothie
    2. I hate it when I'm at work and people approach me on the phone or with headphones on. Its kind of obvious I will be talking to them.
    3. I have 3 bookmarks that I use, I have a Lord of the Rings one with Elijah Wood on it, a hologram star one from a charity, and another is a really nice tag off of a gift.

  • @booknerd226 - A group of friends and I held a bookmark swap for Christmas every year for awhile. We haven't done it in the last couple of years, but I loved it. We'd run it differently each year, sometimes we'd draw names so that we could personalize the bookmarks to the recipient. Sometimes, we wrapped them up all purty, and then drew numbers and people got to pick and trade. 

    We should do a swap here.

  • 1)  Color of the shirt you have on + the last thing you ate = Your band name. What would be yours?   Black Toast, lol.  If I waited it little while, it'd be Black Nectarine (ew!)

    2) Pet Peeve?   One that comes to mind is coworkers who crunch on ice or carrots at their desk. Drives me insane.

    3) What bookmark are you using right now? I have one with some colorful owls on it that says "who's been reading my book?"

    2) Pet Peeve? People who are brake-happy and people who talk to themselves all day long in the office next to me.


    3) What bookmark are you using right now? If you only read ebooks or listen to audio books, tell us what you used back in the dark ages before all the e-gizmos. I would know this if I had actually read a book in months. I have some pretty cool bookmarks though. I love my penguin magnet one. :)

    Not gonna lie, I have clipped a nail at work when it broke but I did it in the bathroom. Also, toenails? That's just way beyond gross.
