Six useless things about me - the newest crack spider MeMe

By
Mortgage and Lending with Guild Mortgage Co - Oak Harbor WA

My "friend" Danny Thornton tagged me with the latest MeMe and referenced his blog about Crack Spiders while doing so. And, since this is such an important blog, I had to pass on the Crack Spider link.

This blog is about six usless bits of information about me that you don't know and probably don't care about. So, that part is easy. After that, I get to pass this on to five unsuspecting individuals, hopefully ones that I haven't tagged in the past. Who knows, maybe it is time for a tag back or two.

  1. I am actually a second generation Oregonian. My father was born (according to him) in a chicken coop in beautiful downtown Macleay Oregon. (see if you can find it on your map)
  2. I was raised on a farm and was driving tractors to the store long before it was legal for me to drive a car. (The nearest store was 2 miles away)
  3. I once followed a girl that I thought I was in love with all the way to Yakima where her family was picking apples. (thankfully she didn't feel the same)
  4. I have been to Guam, Rota, Tinian, Siapan, the Phillipines, Japan, China (Nationalist), Thailand, Mexico, most of the western and southern states but never to the northeast or Canada. The most important thing I learned was the counting game, one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
  5. I am one of the best pinochle (double deck, of course) players in the world. (just ask me.)
  6. I am competitive but not in sports.

Well, that is six. Now for the five. Who to choose? Where do I go for revenge? Let's see:

Margaret Oscillia just because she needs it.

Thom Abbott because he will enjoy it.

Greg Nino because he is funnier than me.

Jason Crouch just so I can have Jason Crouch's name in my blog.

Jennifer Bukaty because I am going to be the flower girl in her and Jason's wedding.

That's it. Now who know the most about nothing?

Mr. Fred you've never been to the Northeast. What? Well then I have never been to the left coast either but I do have plans. Funny just heard the West Coast referred to the left coast earlier this week. I have never heard that before. Glad I came by to read your post. That is the best thing about associates you scroll through and say "Oh I like him/her wonder what he/she is up to. Best Wishes.

You are right Lisa. It is fun to see what people you have decided to check on are doing. I hope you enjoy your trip to our coast soon. One day, I hope to make the Northeast. So far, the closest has been West Virginia.

Okay Fred, I was going to make a comment here, but I completely forgot what I was going to say because of the picture of you in the cinderella dress!  Scary stuff!

Pinochle, Fred, who knew? I once knew how to play it but haven't played cards in years. Reminds me of the worms go in, the worms go out, the worms play pinochle on your snout. Must say, Fred, you look loooooveeely in pink!

Elizabeth - I think the pink kind of clashes with my rosy complexion, but it is Jennifer's wedding afterall. Yes, I know the song about hearses going by too. BTW, my nephew is manager for Davis Shows, do you want him to set up a ferris wheel in your back yard next time they are in town?

This is good information you shared with us.  I feel that much closer to you.  I'm pretty sure I could do without the Pink Dress above though...

How right you are John. It would have been much better as a cocktail length, don't you think?

It may just be the lack of accessories.

John, I am not sure what you could use to accessorize this dress that wouldn't be gaudy.
