Jenett Salon Post Topics

[jjhunter]

I checked with jenett, and she affirmed she'd be fine with having topics from her prior Salon Posts recycled here if links back to the original posts are also included.

A sampling of Project: Salon post topics I periodically think about:
"what's a fun extra-nice outing for you? (Something a little out of your usual routine, for a special occasion.)"
container gardening
"Things you look forward to in the coming next season where you are"
"How do you use your Dreamwidth account? Has that changed over time? What's important to you? What do you not care so much about? And while we're at it, do you have a favourite feature you don't think enough people know about?"
"Do you have traditions or superstitions about moving into a new place, or starting a new project, or basically anything new that happens sometimes?"
What do you keep in your pocket / daily bag?
