Friday Five

(Link in meme-roll)
Zero

1. What is something you have run out of?

Patience? Youth? Interest in my job? On a purely practical level, I think we're out of cheese and some other groceries, and hay for the guinea pigs.

2. What is something you don't know anything about?

I don't think I could even create a coherent thought about how internal combustion engines work, or physics. Sorry, Dad.

3. What is something that needs emptying?

We desperately need to weed our garden(s). We have 4-foot high weeds!

4. There are a lot of stylistic or slangy ways to say “zero.” Which are your favorite?

"Zip" or "zilch" are a couple I use a lot.

5. When did you last receive something free when you were expecting to pay for it?

I can't think of anything. I'm pretty careful about knowing what's for sale and what's not and how much things are going to set me back. Plus, I haven't been out in public shopping much lately.
