I figured the tagging business would find its way to MyBloggers sooner or later, and it looks like it happened sooner. I like most of these questions, so I'll answer them honestly. I think number one is kind of pointless, since folks who lie about their age on their profile page will probably not answer in a post, but what the hell..... Here goes.....
1. How old are you? I'll be 55 in less than two weeks--at least I won't be insulted after that when a cashier offers me the senior discount, since 55 is usually the qualifying age.
2. What is your favorite color? It used to be green, but I don't have one any longer, although I do tend to prefer earth tones.
3. How old were you when you got your first kiss? I have no clue. Probably 12 or so. But my memory for most of those days isn't what it should be.
4. Did you ever do something illegal? Nothing major: smoking on the subway, messaging the data on my tax return. I tried shop lifting when I was 14 (a belt that I didn't need). I can understand how the adrenaline rush might appeal to some folks, but it wasn't for me.
5. What was one of your most embarrassing moments in life?
I think it was on a drive to Bear Mountain (about 2 hours) during the "summer of wine". You'll have to use your imagination here, but it was gross.
6. Did you ever win anything major? A few hundred bucks here and there on the numbers, but not much more than that. I did win a bracelet for my maw at a fund raiser in third or fourth grade. That shaped my opinion of luck.
7. Who was your first love? Ah.... puppy love in sixth grade... Ellen K****! I don't know what happened in the park that day, but I layed awake until 3 a.m. on a school night thinking about her! In adult terms, it was Miriam "Jackie" S****. She went to Israel in 1970-something and I never heard from her again.
8. What was your first car? Well, I don't drive, but it was a 1992 Plymouth Voyager that I bought when I got together with my now ex. I loved that van!
9. What is your favorite dessert? Hard to pin down... Chocolate cream pie, or anything that contains chocolate and cream!
10. Have you ever been skinny dipping? Probably.
11. Have you ever been out of the USA? I've been to New Jersey a few times, but never to California.
12. What is your most "unfavorite" food? Anything that involves fish bait or animal guts.
13. Do you have a hobby? I like everything about RVing/camping, but we don't get to do much of it in these parts. I'm usually inside during the winter...at the computer.
14. Are you a jealous person? Nope
15. What is your greatest strength and greatest weakness?
There was a quiz thing going around in email. Each sender had to describe the recipient with one word. The word the person used for me was "resourceful". I think that fits well. There is a solution to every problem, and a "best" thing to do in every life-situation, and I know how to search for it.
The weakness is easy: It's a guy thing. Sometimes we are supposed to "just listen" and I haven't mastered this at all if the situation involves me in the slightest way.
I tag Jim, Had to do this after the "Do I Know You" post,
Catdancer You need an excuse to post more, and...
