Ropers- I wore these DAILY when I was about 23 or so. Thank heavens I got rid of them. Not nearly so cool as I thought they were!
Andrea Boccelli's "Time to Say Goodbye" is one of my fave songs of all time.
I don't understand not liking chocolate! I haven't had ANY in 6 weeks and I feel like I am going to freak out! I think I want some of Jubal's double chocolate triple layer cake. Yes, even after watching him TALK with it in his mouth! lol
Finally, my parents hated my hubby until our 2nd wedding anniversary when my dad had a heart attack. Rob sat in the hospital every single day with my mom, even when I couldn't (because I'd just started a new job). Now I think my mom loves Rob more than she does me! :-)
This was very interesting! Rock on, my Texan sister!
Good list and good to know about you.
And hey - I so remember poochie. I wanted this poochie lipstick once - and well...I never got it.
As you can see it is still effecting me.
nnylmyfv nanny l my favorite.
I just wanted you to know that I have lots of comments on your list and no patience to type them all up. Just a few questions:
Why not India? Anything in particular bother you?
3 passports - does this mean from three different countries, or that you've renewed your US passport three times? If 3 countries, which?
Is Bible Study now to compensate for skipping Sunday School all those years ago?
Why did you stop playing piano?
There, now you see that I have all these interesting and insightful questions, and you're wondering what all the other ones are, aren't you?
haha. your red ropers, I remember those. I've been meaning to learn Name ever since you mentioned that in colorado, I'll look for it soon.
later dude
props from the miracle baby.
I love 100 things posts.
Jayleigh, we had more in comment than I thought. If you ever come down to Texas, I will crank up the stereo for you. "Conti....partiro..."
Curious, do you like the solo or duet version best?
Cav - if I ever see Poochie lipstick, I'll buy it for you.
Lia - I'll answer your questions on a separate comment.
Miss Anon - Yes, please learn "Name" for me and I will play it vicariously through you. My red LACE-UP ropers, thank you very much. Saw them when I was moving. I had the blue plain ones that Pops bought for me too. I remember that he bought me my blue boots and my Music Machine record right before you were born. And a purse. And the broken bell from Canada. Only things I remember him ever buying. I can't make myself get rid of the purse.
Jef - Glad you liked my list.
rqgvuve (Ricky, give UV!)
Oh my goodness. just read my COMMENT. And I had typed COMMENT instead of COMMON.
I'm not awake yet, and now I've got to go into an hour-long meeting. Sigh.
Lia - Questions are welcome.
Answers:
They always go to India on the Amazing Race and the groping and packed trains, as well as the smells freak me out. I get uncomfortable just watching it. No thank you.
I've had to renew my passport two times. It expired between each of the trips.
1st passport - stamps from England, Holland (didn't need one for Wales)
2nd passport - stamp from Guatemala
3rd passport - stamp from England, fun one from train station in Wales.
Bible study is because I need it. And for guilt for skipping Sunday School.
Piano was a forced thing for me. I'm glad I know how to play, but I never really enjoyed it. I hated the lessons and sitting there to practice. I guess I'm rebelling now.
zfywxjh
AM: LOVE "Time to Say Goodbye."
Um...three passports? Isn't that illegal? Or do you mean one current and two expired passports? That would be all right.
You don't like sandwiches? You don't like sandwiches. You don't like sandwiches?
I also used to play piano, although not very well. I loved it.
JLR and I would be happy to lend you some books from our wall-o-mysteries.
apkkgrf!
Wow that's a lot to take in on my friend JCol - good to know some of these things.
You never knew I was so complex, eh, K-T?
sajyd. (say Jude)
picky picky.
100 now.
It only took me like 20 minutes to do this. Maybe I will change it up sometime.
plmbf plum boyfriend?
I might have to do one of these sometime...
Dahcd!! (what you be playin when you in yo Jammaz!)
RR - Solo or Duet version?
shjah (should you stay or should you go now?
Thank you for your answers. Very enlightening.
I remember waiting till my sixteenth birthday to renew my passport because if you're fifteen, the renewal only lasts five years and if you're sixteen, it lasts ten years. So now I'm stuck with a picture of me at 16 which will be in my passport for five more years. But it's still better than the hassle of renewing.
I like Eric's idea. I think I may have to update my 100 Things sometime.
gqtroawi - gee, a cute row. I'm in awe.
Now I get to learn a few somethings about you! Good stuff!
