Early bird or night owl? I’m an early bird

Favorite song:  “Andante, Andante” from “Mama Mia Here We Go Again”

Ghosts, are they real? Yep, I think so

There are few things that rile me more than intolerance and hypocrisy.

This sounds just like YOU, Myrl. I do notice you have an affinity for red, too. But you are not yet older than the gods, LOL.

Trust me, I have seen that date on my birth certificate!  It's been hovering around and haunting me lately. . .Hence, my belief in ghosts!

Hi Myrl- Thank you so much for having fun with this! You may be older than the gods but at least you're not older than dirt! (remember who used to say that all of the time?)

Myrl Jeffcoat

I know the "Older than dirt" saying.  If I remember correctly, it may have been said by Olympia Dukakis in the movie, "Steel Magnolias."

Myrl, I may use your line about age...older than the gods... yet I don't feel old!

Myrl Jeffcoat

I actually feel younger than that date on my birth certificate.  But, it is there to remind me!

Hi Myrl Jeffcoat - I really enjoyed reading your "Nitty Gritty".  

Kansas was funny!  Speaking of older than the Gods... I remember "Paint Your Wagon". My memory was that it was so cinematic and bigger than life. I want to say I saw it in Hollywood at a theater that used 3 screens - almost mike being right in the movie!  

But this line defines you ....Best Trait: Outrageous creative ideas that pan out when they shouldn’t.

Sheri - What I remember most about Paint Your Wagon, was back when it was first released.  We had actually gone to the movies to see a double feature and especially to watch "Love Story."  "Love Story" played first, and after that emotional ending, on came the beginning of "Paint Your Wagon."  I sat there and thought, there is no way I can sit through a Western now.  And, then the casket came flying into the air.

Good morning Myrl. Nothing much surprised me here but your lines about Kansas made me laugh out loud.

If you have been to Kansas much, you'll fully understand what I mean.

I really enjoyed getting to know more about you, but I don't believe that you are older than the gods, haha.

I'd post my birth certificate to prove I'm right.  But, I fear someone would steal my identity. . .LOL

Myrl, Thanks for sharing some of your nitty gritties. The fact that people still ask you what do you want to be when you grow up, to me says that you truly are a fun soul to be around.

We share the same experience of being one of seven.

Enjoy 2019!

Myrl Jeffcoat, believe I am late to this party, but I am happy I didn't miss it entirely.  Loved knowing more about you and disappointed when the list ended.  Fun to know about  our friends...especially the ones who can make Italian Chicken and Tortellini soup.  Still craving your soup!!!!!!!!!  So you are a Taurus...
