I was toting up what happy is for me today. Then I glanced down at my menu list. Hmmm. "Wild life!!!!" I'd slipped a cog and written wild life instead of wild rice. I love it. Happy for me today is: temps above...

Do you wear socks at home?

Ricki Dillane @ricki_911 (21625) • Toronto, Ontario 9 Jan 16

I always have socks on and everyone comments on that. My feet get fairly cold fast so even during the summer months I have socks on. My friend never has socks on and walks on the tile with no socks. I don't know how she does it...

Michelle I almost always wear socks at home now. I used to be the opposite, but then we traded in the carpeting for hard wood floors and they always seem cold to me! My husband is the opposite. If he's at home he's usually barefooted!

Do you think it's weird to put up more than 5 posts in a day?

Candice Quigley @cxndie (1075) • India 5 Jan 16
