The Curse Of The MeMe

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with R & D Art

OK, lately I have managed to stay out of the way of these pesky little bugs, but not today. My good fiend friend in Aiken, South Carolina hit me with another one. So, if you do not like MeMe's go away.

I was given the following 'rules':

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

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!

So, let's get this show on the road.

1) Tagged by Kara Casamassina. If you have not read her blog, stop by and throw things at her.


2) OK, we can check that off, I did it up above.


3) 7 things that you might not know about me

  • My small toe on my right foot is not connected. I demolished my foot in a wreck and it was rebuilt. The screw never worked in attaching it.
  • I eat sour candy like it was regular candy.
  • I have my head shaved at least once a year.
  • I used to play softball 7 days a week.
  • I coached one peewee football team, on jr baseball team, and one senior basketball team to a league victory. We lost the state championship games in the finals for each sport.
  • I can cook French, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese Cuisines to a perfection, but can not speak the languages.
  • I am naturally left handed in writing, but because my parents thought it was wrong, I was forced to learn to write right handed.

4) I am awarding a reprieve from spreading this around. I know it is in fun, so if you feel the need to do one, consider yourself tagged.

Danny ~ You are very good about doing these!  My son is left-handed and is the only one in our family who is.  I remember seeking out left-handed school supplies for him so that he could have an easier time of it.  

I can make reservations at French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese restaurants and can't speak the languages either, so we have a little bit in common there! ; )

I can eat French, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese and be quite happy to do so though I can only vaguely speak one of those languages.

Rebecca, you name it, I will make it. Spanakopita is one of my specialties if you like Greek. Stuffed Manicotti if you like Italian, Sushi if you like Japanese, Thon A La Languedocienne (Tuna Steak) if you like French, Raspberry Chipotle Chicken if you like Mexican, Ginger Beef if you like Chinese.

Kathy, sometime I am going to have to cook for the entire AR crew. I wonder if Bob and Jon will buy the food.

Hi Danny,

Fun to read! That is an impressive coaching record - and I envy your cooking skills!  Good thing I live in an area with loads of take-out.

Since we are on the subject of dinner ... how did those ribs turn out?  LOL  Good MeMe, Danny.  The little toe thingy is interesting.

Elizabeth, I do not. The nearest food is 20 minutes away.

James, I am just not sure.

Carol, the ribs were great. Nothing better than nawing the meat off the bone while the dogs beg.

Danny,

That's a feat to be such a culinary whiz.  I know my way around a kitchen, but cannot claim full culinary prowess.  Let me know what time you have dinner:-)lol

Danny,

I eat French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese food . . . . plus, German, Mexican and Latvian.  Speak some Spanish and Latvian, although rusty at it now (took 4 years of Spanish in HS).  Hey, tell you what, when you cook for the AR crew, I'll bring the German, Mexican and Latvian food.  :-)
