TAG, We're It

Emiline made me do this. I feel like tagging her again, but there are so many other worthwhile folks out there.

Rules:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.

2. Share 5 facts about yourself

3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).

4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

Ok, here are 5 riveting facts about me:

1. I baked my own wedding cake.

2. I was always embarrassed to admit this when I was growing up and now I don’t care: I never learned how to ride a bike. My father refused to put training wheels on a bike and I refused to ride it. I spent my youth making troll houses and baking brownies instead.

3. I have a twin brother. I’m 13 minutes older and 7 plus inches shorter, plus I have A LOT more hair. People have asked me (upon hearing I have a twin brother) if we’re identical.

4. A Brit Out Of Water reminded me of this. I know I’m a baby, but I refuse to eat by myself in public, except if it’s on the street while I’m walking. I have HAD to do it very rarely and I really hate it. I feel as if everyone is staring at me and so whenever I see someone eating by HERself (men are so full of themselves they don’t care) I’m so impressed by her bravery that I end up STARING AT HER.

5. I LOVE talking on the phone. (Call me anytime.) I’m old enough to remember the advent of cordless phones. Now THAT was a great invention. It meant I could I unload the groceries, make dinner, sit outside, take a walk, get the mail, paint the basement, do whatever I needed to on the computer AND talk on the phone.

These are the 5 people I tag. You’re it:
Fruity
Tracy
CommonDialog
A Brit Out Of Water
Madam Chow

Nothing To Do With Food, But Very Cool - People Aged One To One Hundred...

Especially when you see the person representing your own age. YIKES!

The 99 year old has a real twinkle in his eye.

This Is Definitely Not Food Related

Is that ok? After posting about my problems with word verification, I found this post, "Senior Citizens and Technology", on another blog. The reason it's so funny to me is because, although I'm not quite as bad as this particular blogger's parents, I could be. If I didn't have computer, digital, video, cable and text-savvy kids, I would be completely lost.

Don't tell my aunt I told you this. But when she heard her daughter tell her other daughter that she would fax a recipe* to her, she said, "Oh, could you fax that to me, too?" She had no fax machine or even a computer. And she had no idea that you NEEDED an actual fax machine to send or receive faxes.

Thanks, Cuz, for ratting out your poor mother.

*See, I got food in here, after all.
