Great job, Wings. Thanks!

[wingsovernc]

Coming to you from a library, somewhere on the Eastern Seabord, is Wings...

here to fulfill her promise to post the answers to questions 8 & 9 from last

week:


8. Women spend on average 47 minutes per day grooming themselves.

Men spend about 32 minutes. I was very surprised at the women's

average till I started looking around. Do the women in your immediate

vacinity look like they spent more or less than 47 minutes on themselves

today? I have to admit, the stats seem about right.



9. America's favorite activites are (in this order):

Watching TV

Spending time with friends and family

Exercising

(I was surprised the last one was even in the top 10)


Hope to see everyone again soon!

I just need to keep my library card up-to-date

And maybe pay off those fines
