Monday Teeny Poll
By Glinda
Oooh! Last week’s poll about watching movies at the theater wound up with a tie! I don’t ever remember that happening. People, you know my life is in need of a change when I get excited over a tie.
27% of you enjoy seeing movies at a theater, and another 27% would enjoy it more often if it didn’t cost quite so much money. Seriously, I think ticket prices, at least in my neck of the woods, are a little out of hand. 20% only like to shell out the dough to see certain types of movies, and 17% would rather wait on it to watch at home. And that leaves 6% of you who don’t really like watching movies that much at all.
Today I’ve got an admittedly odd question, but I wanted to get a larger sample size than just my friends. You see, I recently went out to dinner, and we planned on seeing a movie afterwards. I had enough of my meal left over to take home, but I waffled because I don’t like to eat food that has been sitting unrefrigerated for more than a couple of hours. One of my fellow diners thought this was ridiculous and offered to take my leftovers for themselves. And they did. And they claimed to have no ill aftereffects. Allegedly.
Do polls fill you with inexplicable joy? I’ve got another one at Manolo Beauty!

We left the (cooked) turkey out all night when I was a Peace Corps volunteer because we didn’t have a fridge. Everyone – about 20 at my house for a party – was fine.
I leave stuff out for a while here. And I have had food poisoning twice. Both times from restaurants.
Hmm. Now I am re-thinking my leaving out restaurant food, although the food poisoning had nothing to do with the food being left out. OK, I’m good again.

Depends on the food. Pizza, for example, is okay to sit all night (though I’d rather it didn’t). But anything meat, fish, or egg needs to get refrigerated right away or I’m not touching it. When the boy and I dine out, usually he takes my leftovers, because I can be weird about eating them and he hates it to go to waste.
