Awkward Dates and a Free Library ~j

Today's Writing Prompt: Dating Scars

What's the weirdest or most awkward date you've ever been on?

Went out for lunch at Michael's on the Thames in London. I was probably 19 or 20 a the time. We were way underdressed for the restaurant. And while we were waiting to order, my date casually mentioned that he hoped I could pay because he was broke. Yup. I only had a few bucks on me so I ordered a caesar salad to share and then we got the heck out of there. I think that one qualifies as weird and awkward.

Clean Out Your Computer Day

When : Second Monday of the month
Clean Out Your Computer Day is a day to logically review, and delete old files and programs.
Most of us add programs and files to our computer with reckless abandon. After all, computers have huge storage capacity. Many of these files and programs are forgotten over time. Overtime they clog memory and cause confusion during retrieval and use of other files. And, some may slow down your computer.
Somewhere along the way, a (most likely) computer geek or service person, created this day as an opportunity for us to remember to cleanup and delete old and unused files.
So, get into the spirit of the day, and clean out the old computer.

Here’s How To Cook This Springtime Veggie Properly Fiddleheads are a Canadian delicacy, but undercooking them can lead to food poisoning by Amy Grief Updated Apr 9, 2019 Fiddlehead season is short, so when you see the adorable green curlicues at your grocery store or farmers’ market, buy them while you can.

Annual Organization Challenge Week #2 How did you make out with last week's challenge? Did you find your work table? Here's this week's challenge: Your challenge this week is to S.P.A.C.E. your paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, and all those SCRAPS!
