Stray Yellar Dog has tagged me so I now have to
if tagged we are asked to write six things about ourselves AND tag six other bloggers to do the same, as part of a way of supplying some diversion for those who will be sauntering the web with care over this weekend.
So here I go:
1.I call January 20 Homecoming Day because it’s the anniversary of my coming to America – the 28th this year
2.In 2004 my brain nearly exploded when the country I left to come to The Land of the Free had a recount and reversed the crooked election result as per the demand of the winning candidate who had been robbed
3.As a result I sometimes wonder if I am not some sort of political jinx, carrying authoritarianism everywhere I go
4. I have recently adopted a rescue dog, a yorkie-poo named Boongo that makes everything that could upset me seem unimportant
5. My daughter (10) has became a wonderful activist. Right now she is conducting a crusade to have Petland ban chicken jerky from China that made our dog very sick (we asked and they refuse). She wrote letters and will write an article in the school newspaper
6.Blogging is the first conscious thought in my mind when I wake up – which is why I wake up at crazy hours
I tagged shtuey, madamab, myiq2xu, Riverdaughter and Hillary Unleashed

Edge: It sounds like fun but I can only play here on your blog and I can’t tag anyone else. {{sigh}}
So here goes:
1.) I went to 14 schools before I graduated from high school.
2.) My great grandfather was a stow away from London to America. His future wife found him on the ship and kept it a secret in a real Titanic kind of moment.
3.) I don’t like cats.
4.) I think beets taste like purple dirt and can’t understand why anyone thinks they’re edible.
5.) My left foot is one size bigger than my right.
6.) I can write backwards fluently with my right hand while writing forwards with my left hand. In fact, this is the only time I can write with my left hand.
There. I tag murphy at pumapac.org, taggles, Alegre, lambert, anna belle and vbonnaire

I was already tagged by Nunly at Bad Habit, which is how you came to be tagged. In compliance with being “it” I will reveal six new things, but will not pick another 6 bloggers.

Gee, Thanks edge, 🙂
Here are some of my ruminations:
1.) Today, I heard it will be mandatory to provide proof of your Social Security number when you renew your Drivers License.
2.) My neighbor is a War Veteran. He is disabled and unable to drive. I drive him to the VA once a week for treatment and monthly to the Barber Shop.
3.) Someone in our family discovered the Fountain of Youth. My Great, Great, Grandmother looks like a 40 year old. She does 100 push-ups every day to stay strong and runs at a “5” on her treadmill for 30 minutes everyday for her cardio workout.
4.) My little “puddin dog”, Jack Russell Terrier, gave us four beautiful puppies yesterday. (1) male and (3) females. I think the gender ratio was a good omen. The proud daddy’s name is “Louie”…
5.) I visited Ireland a few years ago and fell in LOVE with the Emerald Isle. My paternal G-Gran immigrated from Ireland.
While visiting there I applied for an Irish citizenship and found out last year I was eligible.
6.) I’ve met so many wonderful people as a result of blogging. Acquaintances who have tuned out to be more ‘real’ than virtual friends.
I’m not tagging anyone either…. So, I pass…
