Stay at home and light the fireplace, and bundle up to go out.
__Jan. 16 is National Nothing Day. What would you do if you had nothing to do?__

People who don't understand the "yield" sign.

__What do you make of the low gasoline prices?__
I love $2 gas or less; I can come to the mall more often.
__How do you deal with the extremely cold weather?__
We burn wood. We love the warmth of the wood-burning stove. We've had it 30-some years.
__Jan. 16 is National Nothing Day. What would you do if you had nothing to do?__
Sit in my recliner and crochet.

It drives me crazy when parents don't make their kids mind.

__What do you make of the low gasoline prices?__
I really like it. I'm from Chicago, so gas prices went up to $4 there. This is a lot more reasonable and affordable.
__How do you deal with the extremely cold weather?__
Bundle up. Make sure I have extra covers. Be equipped to stay warm.
__Jan. 16 is National Nothing Day. What would you do if you had nothing to do?__
Take care of my baby, and watch Netflix with him.
__What's your biggest pet peeve?__
Lack of communication. When you don't communicate, you confuse things.

Layers. Bundle up with layers.

Kick back and read comics all day. That's the ideal day for me.

Odd numbers. And sneezing, in general.
