A MeMe......Ate (eight) Random Facts

I’ve been tagged by Eve on the 8 random facts meme:

First, the Rules:
1) Post these rules before you give your facts
2) List 8 random facts about yourself
3) At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them
4) Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they’ve been tagged

Many know I cannot tag too well and am not sure how to leave a comment on this on blogs...but here goes....how does one randomize this.....it seems hard to do that.

1) I stink at following "the rules". That's a personal defining "issue."

see (Another Brick In The Wall)

2) Every clock or watch I have either breaks or does not keep time.

see (Does Anybody Really know what Time It Is?)

3)Facts and perceptions walk a thin line for me.

see (Send in The Clowns)

4) I dog ear pages.

see (Book of life)

5) My current favorite word is "this".

see (Days Like This)

6) Hotel fridges full of snacks give me a thrill, to my bones.

see (Hotel California urban legend in my neighborhood)

7) I don't wear make up and like the idea of French perfume

see (Something So Right)

8) I've cared for and adopted 28 cats in my life(counting kitten batches), 4 ducks, 2 turtles, 25 or so fish, goats, several sheep, 3 hampsters, 2 parakeets, a rabbit, sea monkeys, 2 lovebirds, 1 parrot,
2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree......

see (Random Act of Love)


and for "ATE" Random Facts:

1)Mashed potatoes are the best, gravy good, a butter fest
2) Mom endlessly makes pie of every kind , love the custard rum, no rind , berry ones to her sublime, but my favorites include key lime
3)Chili is a special thrill, heat it up and pay the bill
4) Creme sauce, cheese sauce, Benedict egg sauce can I ever stop the nod that plops this down on my facade, but I tell you eating creme ever my late night dream
5) Turkey and dressing extra nice, sage such a lovely spice.
6) I love stew, soup, salad, chowder, albondigas , fried fish, fresh fish, spagetti carbonara, makes me stop to think some more of mignon, brisket, salami, roast and ...oh my...chili verde, and fully loaded pizza pie. All are something I should miss but unfortunately have defined my bliss.
7) Sure baked potatoes know my name
8) and ham and bacon are my shame.

This is what sprang to mind when on thinking it ATE up my Mind.....

Thank you for asking Eve, so I'll ask people but my thoughts are they will :

1) Ignore me
2) Politely decline
3) Reveal they already did this one so of course that 'Reveals' I'm not reading them carefully or consistently and THAT's embarrassing
4) Run,
5) Say they can't
6) Say they won't
7) Talk about sports, running, laps, yardage.........measurable things
8) Or just play along..maybe?

Thanks again Eve, stop in and tell me about yourself...I will try to read your blog.
At least out of teaching for a week or so...then to be "trained"...a little giddy with a day or two not working.
Tagging then.....no promises they'll see this...
