For those of you who are new to blogging on Active Rain, MeMe's are our little "Getting to Know You" ritual.  They come in all shapes and sizes.  

 

James Downing and Konnie Mac  tagged me for this MeMe.  And my targeted list of seven might follow.  Here are all of the ground rules that need to be followed:

1.  Create a blog post with a link to the person who so happily tagged you.  See above!

2.  List all of these rules in the post. Feel free to cut and paste this.

3.  Share seven things that others may not know about you.  Do I or have I HAD a life outside of real estate?  

4.  Identify seven friends, contacts or near enemies in which to adorn this MEME. Tag them at the end of the post and give a link to their blog. 


5.  Contact each of the tagged members and let them know that you were indeed fast enough to catch them and that you did indeed tag them...no matter how much they say you missed them!  No schoolyard rules in this MEME, nope you gotta do it if you are tagged.  Sorry guys!  

1.  I have never stuck my tongue onto a frozen metal post!  In fact I was grown up before seeing a frozen post, having been raised in South Georgia.

2.  As a child growing up in the South, our fast food job was working in tobacco fields.  Wonder if all that fresh nicotine has an affect later.....

3.  My first job after the tobacco fields, and one that required a social security card, was in a 5 & 10 store.  I think it only lasted a day or two because I had to ride a bus to get to the job.

4.  Because I was tall in high school, I was accepted on the girl's half/court basketball team and made a forward.  That was good exercise.  Since then I have not cared to watch spectator sports.  In fact, I really don't like spectator sports.

5.  I am surrounded by books and magazines all the time because I've always loved to read.

6.  I hate watching TV because of all the commercials!  If I want to see a show I try to tape it and watch it later.  The networks seem to play with their schedules and I sometimes tape the wrong thing. 

7.  I have one pet who lives on the back porch, a cat who just devours birds.  She is noted for having taken down a Raven (crow) which is a pretty big bird.

8.  I have a lovely daughter.  She's the one on the right.

Barbara's daughter

I'm going to disobey the last part of the Meme which is tagging a few friends.  I've gotta ship this friend on the left to Nutsy!

Mrs Barbara,

This is all well and good but I am still stranded somewhere. Help. I have a parttime gig at a nearby Dennys. Buell still not coming through with my cash.

Nutsy, sometimes I question your IQ.  How can anyone get you transportation OR money if they don't know where you are.  Mr Charles is probably desperately trying to wire you funds and now my little Nemo is pawing around restlessly wondering why he's in a shipping crate with no address.  ASK someone what city you're in.    sshheessshhh.....

Barbara, I am afraid it is all consistent with him being "dumb as a bag of hammers."

Dear Mrs. Barbara,

Things have changed. I still no longer know where I am. In fact, I do not know where I am, but I know I am somewhere. I thought that your ride had arrived. I got on with this man. They took me far away to these mountains. They put me in a dress and I am herding these animals that have a similarity to the ride you arranged for me. Do you know where I am. I am south somewhere, but not an idea where.

Charles, I'm really starting to wonder about that.  See below.

Nutsy, you hammerhead!  Those animals don't look anything like what I sent you.  Get yourself back to whereever you used to be.

I just noticed the similarity!  They are the same!!  Exactly.  I hope their IQs are different!

Barbara, now I am really confused.  I thought it was his wallet that was in the red?

Mrs Barbara,

I am not so dumb. I found out that I am in the Andes. Is that anywhere near your house. These people are nice, although the ponies smell and I am working on earning some money to get back into the USA to sue the drawers off Mr Charles. PS...that is me in red. They are making me wear a skirt for now....only thing they had that fit. No bags of hammers here, cannot buy one for you.

"I found out that I am in the Andes. Is that anywhere near your house."-----I rest my case (unless there is an Andes, Arkansas:)

Mr Charles,

You are so rude. I suspect that it is closer to her house than your house. Did you get the chewed doggie door fixed yet. My uncles are persistent. Good news for you is I should be back in the USA soon. I have a new job that is adding up to big bucks fast. My old Grandpa once told me to make sure that I take advantage of my assets. In this case, these Andean folk did not know anything about my natural abilities on a tightrope. Hence, I am part of a traveling circus. In a week I should be back in the USA. Have you been able to scrape my salary together yet. I did nearly 500 inspections in the week you were away, so where is the money?

Nutsy, 500 inspections in one week??????  You'd better watch that exaggerating.  I think he probably owes you for 5 in that week!  You look pretty good on that highwire but I don't know why you need that balance beam.  Remember you're a a squirrel!  You could swing by your tail!!

Mr. Charles, remember he's still just a youngster......patience required.....needs money......

Steve, why don't you just have him meet up with you in Mexico?

Mrs Barbara,

The bar is just for show. They like to see me use it.

Carol, I hope you meant a resemblance between me and my daughter.  Nutsy is pretty prominent on my blog.  And now there's Nemo, the donkey.  LOL

Nutsy, be brave.  Show them you can do it without the bar!!

Donald, I'm glad you laughed.  But a lot of people think I'm the other name for a donkey so I felt it might be best to clarify!  LOL
