See kids, you too can be an interesting person! I'm supposed to pass this along to six other worthy bloggers, who may or may not want to play along. It's up to them, but here are my choices. Before I go any further, I started to make this list, and the first thing I would write about each person was that they had a good sense of humor - so I'll just say it here, and stop repeating it six more times!
dmaxi - she is unafraid to speak her mind, knits, and she lives in Ireland. Need I say more?
Carrie K - she is a great book and TV fan, and I wish she lived closer.
Brigitte - she has 4 cats, knits, loves Tim Horton's, and lives in Canadia!
Chris - she is mom to Chaos and Mayhem, and loves to read and knit.
Chan - she is mom to Missy Sissy and Gretchen Greer, two of the sweetest pup girls, knits, and loves tea.
Kathleen - she is mom/stepmom to three sweet kiddos, is a budding designer, and is also mom to Riley, Jetsam's doppelganger!
As you were. 'Night.

We forgot our mutual fear of land sharks. :-)
It's nice to know I'm not the only person in the world who doesn't have a cell phone :)
I enjoy lists of questions like this. It lets me know a little more about you without actually invading your privacy.
What fun, and I was truly honored and delighted to see my name on the list! I'll comply... right after the DoT post, which should follow the folding and stuffing and stamping of the last few statements...
LOVE Chaos and Mayhem as names. My first fish were Bogie and Bacall.
Tell me more about what you're wearing....
Alright, cool! I have my assignment for this weekend!
Wait a second...the Nigerian Prince said that I was the ONLY one chosen to be e-mailed. You're fibbing. No WAY he'd be conning me.
"As you were" is pretty good --- don't sell yourself short on this blogging thing!
(Oh, and my verification word here today is drankine. Where I'm from, that means the imbibing of certain spirits. . . )
Thanks, babe! I'm working on my questionnaire now :)
Oh alright :) perhaps Jetsam's not exactly a Faulkner, but you have to admit,those long, long, run on sentences without a break that make you want to gasp for air, reminded me so much of one of my favorite authors.
Jetsam, don't you let anyone sell you short, always continue to express yourself as you have done, explaining always that truth is beauty and beauty truth, and all this shown on an ancient Greek vessel where two beautifully painted figures reached for each other in an unachievable stretch for true and unending love, where mortals and gods .... Oh, sorry, I need to take a breath now :)
Seriously, Faulkner's The Bear, and his Nobel acceptance speach, there's little better I think.
"Our tragedy today is a general and univeral physical fear so long sustained...."
Mary gasp for air now...
