Can You Guess Who I Am....

Can You Guess Who I Am....

OK, my dear readers, as many of you already know, when I'm not working in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area helping people buy or sell a home, I'm enjoying my free time watching sports, listening to music, playing around with Photoshop, and surfing the web.

Well, in my endless quest to visit every web site ever created I came across this little tidbit of interest and decided to turn it into a little game.

Are you ready?

OK. Here goes:

Guess Who I Am....

I'm celebrating my 70th birthdy this year.

I'm great any time of day.

12% of you buy me each time you make this kind of purchase.

I'm pretty good for you.

I can be found under the seat of nearly every mini van on the road today.

Can You Guess Who I Am?

If not, perhaps this recent photograph of me will help you!

You can read all about our mystery guest in this USA Today article.

Craig, I don't do very well on the Tuesday Brain Teasers, but I DID guess cheerios, BEFORE I scrolled down to see the lovely photo of you in those great shorts. :-)

I bought a box recently, now that I have grandbabies and I rediscovered how much I like them. I have been enjoying a bowl now and then while watching TV in the evening, LOL!

Ann - It seems that since we spend so much time in our cars we could make a whole meal out of the things that fall under the seats!

Ed - The General hit a home run with Cheerios. Such staying power.

Tish - That's me! A bowl of Cheerios with a sliced banana in the mornings.

Kristine - They're perfect any time of day. How many foods can you say that about?

Anita - Uh Oh. We have a dissenter among us folks! Go easy on her. Anita's a wonderful woman... despite her Cheerios short comings!

Nick - Hmmm. And I had you pegged as a Post Nasal Drips kind of guy....

Philip - Shhh! Don't tell anyone the secret to my success. I'll lose my competitive edge!

Dorie - I knew I should have kept this a secret!!

Larry & Sheila - I'll never tell! But let's just say there's a store for everyone's taste down here!

Shar - I should have posted a warning that you'd need sun glasses to view this post properly! My bad! So sorry!

Frank & Karen - And a tall glass of orange juice! My version of the perfect breakfast.

John - Dogs will eat broccoli if you gave it to them!

Sharon - I love that you love my jammies! And I agree, who doesn't love Cheerios?

Donna - Ding! Ding! Ding! And you move into the bonus round Donna! Well done!

Gay - You know the old hands aren't as steady at my ripe old age Gay!

Sharon - You know you love 'em! Even after your brief absence you came back to the old tried and true taste of Cheerios!

Laura - In milk. Dry. It doesn't matter. Cheerios make a great meal or snack. Digging my "summer" look are you?!!!

Gabe - Oh come on Gabe. We know you're not that old! But if you do have one of the original Cheerios you might just be able to make a pretty nickle on eBay!

Craig, well the the "Incredible Hawk" spewing Mucus with Mucusmallow bits does sound tempting...guess I led a sheltered life.

Craig--70 years? Wow! I have been eating them my whole life. When I was a kid, there were only a few kinds of cereals---much easier to make the decision in the morning.

Nick - You really do have to get out more Nick!

Pat - Me too Pat! We only had 3 channels of TV, and just a few cereals to choose from. Cheerios has been a staple in my life for, well, forever!
