Ohhh... that's a really long one Josey, I'm afraid that I WILL DO IT!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteZanadu?????? Ha haaaaaaaaa!!!! You are so silly Josey. I like that...
Great answers! I LOVE roasted aspargus too! The only way I'll eat it now! I know these memes can be a pain, but it's fun to learn more about blogger friends this way! You cats are adorable! Is that a website just for animals????
ReplyDeletehaha, speedcat...i didnt even get to replying to your comment here because i was too shocked that you finished the meme already! LOL! it was great. thanks for the entertainment, as usual :)
ReplyDeletehey olga :) yes, i grew up HATING asparagus. it grew wild around our house and my mom would douse it with velveeta and i hated it! i just dont like cheese on my veggies. hehe. of course, like many people, it took me years to like any green veggie other than green beans and peas. hehe!
ReplyDeletehonestly, i love doing the memes. they're superfun, like doing all those online quizzywizzies :D and i agree, its a fun way to learn about people, too!
yes, dogster and catster are websites just for pets. they are free to sign up for; altho i have the "plus" version so i can put up more pix and stuff like that. :) if you click on their pix in the navigation bar, it'll take you to their personal pages (unless that's what you already did). hehe!! they are really neato!
your a dork I thought I was the only one that still used that one...:):)..I don't care how you do it I can't stand asparagus...except maybe with Frank's Redhot
ReplyDeletehey there robert! or dork (lol!)...or grumpy...or crusty...or redneck canuck...what in the heck should i call you? LOL! seems like everyone's gotta different name for you :P
ReplyDeletei am cracking up that asparagus is starting to become the hot topic of this post. i mean, what deep, meaningful qualities it has!! you know, as compared to talking to God and stuff like that. hahahah!! asparagus is da bomb! ;) i may have try a few dashes of Frank's...good idea :)
I'm wondering if I should hold up my fingers and do the sign of the cross or something,"Olivia Newton John and ELO?" :-)
ReplyDeleteAsparagus...love those greenies. I have to start Yoga in two days...my fiance told me to. I hope you're right, And finally, have you started that book? If you haven't,then start :-)
Take care Josey.
i like your list of things you want to do before you die. they're realistic and not idealistic. none of this climb to mt everest stuff. it's real-life living! i am going to do this meme. it looks fun! and as i was reading yours, i thought of mine and you're right; i think i'll learn a few things about myself. thanks!
ReplyDelete:-O *GASP* jd, how can you curse such things that bring others such happiness? LOL. ;)
ReplyDeletegood luck with yoga! are you going to a class? IMHO its the best way to get started. i cant wait to hear how your first twisted pigeon or downward dog goes! hehe!! ;) oh, and FYI...have a good supply of epsom salts at home. seriously. i was literally sore for the whole first two months i did yoga!
and nope, i havent started the book. im having a really hard time figuring out what i even want to write about...AYYEEE! it just stresses me out thinking about it. LOL. i figure at least blogging most every day is a good exercise for me to get my creative juices flowin. one 'a these days. :D
hey, ames! :D yeah, you're right! they were pretty realistic; i didnt really notice. hehe :) even tho i'm a bit of a dreamer, i'm definitely not a risk-taker! (normally. not that i NEVER get a brave, spontaneous streak.) maybe one of these days i'll totally break out and do one of these memes in a crazy, goofy way instead of always being so introspective. hehe ;) maybe!
ReplyDeletei cant wait to read yours!! i'll be watching for it :)
Hey Josey. Just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful comment. That made me realize how I'd love to see yours lol........and while you're at it, you may as well include this in your to-do list
ReplyDeletehttp://blackbaies.pansitan.net/2007/12/let-cat-out-of-bag.html
Better late than never lol.......
Cheers! :)
Asparagus wrapped in parma ham then olive oil and seasoning then grilled. Yum-yum!!!
ReplyDelete(Also wanted to say thank your for your comments on my blog)
haha hey ivy! did you want to thank me for the second comment? (that you're evil--for going back and adding me to that meme? LOL!)
ReplyDeletehowever, because i am such a nice and grateful person, i'll do it ;) hehehe!!
aside from that, you're welcome for the comment. i am truly impressed!
hi, robert! i had to look up "parma ham." LOL. i figured it was something like prosciutto, is that right? that really does sound SOOO GOOD. lol!
ReplyDeleteand you're welcome for the comments. your posts are always so thought-provoking! even this one. HAHAH! ;)
you have so many comments, girl. you are quite popular! i'm going to save this meme for a lazy day. it's a good one.
ReplyDeletehey, i hope so!! remember that half my comments are ones that i write back ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by, and i'll of course be watching for your version of the meme whenever you feel lazy. teehee!
I don't know how I missed this, but I will put it on my list. I mostly tell stories. I've already written my 100 things about me, and I figure nobody really wants to know them. Heck, I don't find the stuff about me very interesting. The people I know, those are interesting people.
ReplyDeletewitchyp :) no worries...whenever i pass on a meme, its ALWAYS optional :D i quite enjoy reading stories anyhoo (esp yours!). however, if you do finish the 100 things, i'll be excited to see how in the heck you filled it! *I* havent even done the 100 things. its just too redundant unless people want to know dumb things like how many hangnails i've had or something. hehe ;)
ReplyDeleteHey There... You're on to something good here. I'm bored, lonely,and frisky. Perhaps I'll play. As soon as I can work it in.... Hugs!
ReplyDeletehey, intrepid!! glad you stopped over! i'll be watching your page for the meme :D have fun!
ReplyDeletei'm not really into meme's but i heard they're good to increase backlinks which will later help in improving a blog's website... in your experience, were meme's of any help?
ReplyDeletehi there, jessie :) honestly, i dont concern myself much with the backlinks, no/do follow, and all that stuff. i certainly do appreciate it when someone links me, because then i get more people to add meaning to my posts and the conversations in the comments :) and of course, i add folks' links to my posts and in my nav bar, but its usually because their blogs are places i enjoy and it's my way of letting them know that and expressing my interests to my visitors =D
ReplyDeletei've decided to not get too wrapped up in all the superdooper link hype...its just too stressful for me! LOL! the quality of my visitors is more important than the quantity. i appreciate your question, and sorry i couldnt really answer it! =)
