Okay, nail biting not so bad. Interesting insight into your character. You're quite a character. Glad to know yah!
I was MIA, But I m back now!! I hope all is well! Take care, MM XOXO
The most interesting & intelligently answered 'tag' I've read yet.
I can sympathize with the business ownership debt. If I may ask, are you happier now that you are out of it? Also, if you could go back: would you have the business again?
Happy Wednesday :-)
I've been tagged, eh? I'll try to do it over the weekend. Work is kicking my ass, so it will be nice to write something I barely have to think about.
By the way, Dewar's is good, but I usually drink Glenfiddich.
Glad to get to know you a little more.
I am a weird one I love brussel sprouts.
Tagged??? Thanx!
I post in such secrecy, U little S#%T! Now I will have 2 work on this 4 today~~~Lucky 4 me, I'm up early! I do this cuz I like U!
;]
A Gemini huh?! The twins, so you have two different personalities? My sister is a Gemini too, but I don't like either of her personalities, lol. I like both of yours. 8-)
OK- Here I am...
Nurse,
For what it's worth, Thanks.
Hey Nick,
Thanks for stopping by.
Mystical- Did miss ya!
I'm fine now that your back in a bikini.
Hi Jin- Why I thank you very much for the kind words.
My debt is a 500 pound gorilla on my back. Got 3 years left.
I am so happy to leave electronics behind- what I do now is so much more rewarding.
I started the bus. in a spare room
in my house and grew it to where I bought a building and had employees. If I could do it over I'd probably keep it small in the house.
Hi Lisa- I got to get to your spot.
Morbid: TAGGED! Don't they do that to livestock? Can't wait to hear your story.
Lori,
Nice to know you too.
ice- Hey man- can't keep you a secret! Down with Brussel Sprouts!
They did a number on you, hah?
Star- your another one that is the
blogs best kept secret...I want the cyber-world to know ALL about you...cause I like you.
lady- well, there's still some things I'll never tell.
Shannon- your so nice, if you were here I'd give you a great big Poly-hug. As a Gemini, I am so interested in everything that it's hard to stay focused, but once I am-I dive in completely.
PS. Brussel Sprouts Suck!
Becky- I am multi facetted. I think my positives far outweigh my negatives...and I like you!
I'm a gemini as well. Had a friend of a boyfriend (female) ask me my sign. when I said gemini, she said "OH. I hate geminis." FINE BY ME!
I'm a nail biter too and I dont like it a bit.
I get here 2 early! I'm gonna have to clear some of my afternoon time to come read "new" posts. Always a day late and a dollar short!tehee. Out of my 3 children that I birth'd, 2 of them are Gemini!!! Talk about a handful! It was like having 5 with just them, not 2 mention the 2 step-kiddies. Hey~the more the merrier!!!
:o
Thanx 4 all of u'r kind words!
Zooom- Thats OK, sometimes I hate me.
Le Chitelier- Not that I was a gigilo, but I was never without a girlfriend when I was younger and no relationship lasted longer than 3 months. When it did I married her, and that lasted 4 years-There.
Mona- I'm working on a cuticle this very moment as I write this-
it will be a bloody mess shortly.
Star- This is my busy busy season now in irrigation- I tried all day to get to my blog- it is now 4:25-
and I'm just getting to reply- so you didn't miss anything.
2 Gemini kids- Ahhhhh, run away!
Capt.- Silver bling, silver bling,
soon it will be Poly's b'day...
Video,
This was fun- Like I said before;
It's like confession, only more serious.
I started on the cuticle about 15 minutes ago, now it is killing me.
I think nail/cuticle biting is a form of masocism. I hate doing it-but I can't stop.
I hate raking leaves too, one weekend my dad made me give up my football tickets I had when I was in college to come home and rake leaves...grrrr!
Sounds like you have a great unusual talent/skill ;)
Brussel sprouts, I used to not like them as a kid, but now, if they are cooked just right, they are delicious!
oh....I bet you do smell good!
Le Chitelier,
Inquiring minds need to know.
Lee Ann,
Thanks, It's hard to smell nice in a stinky world, but I try.
Just stopping by to say hi & show you some love. (((HUG)))!! Take care sweety, MM XOXO
we have a lot in common! except the being male part...and the Gemini part...and...ah forget it.
mystical,
always thrilled when you stop by.
Jlee,
I know what you mean, and I'm honored to know you.
"when you think you have them eating out of your hand- count your fingers"
Loving that quote :)
Ya know, I was just thinking, what a view, hanging off of that cliff like that!
;]
Not surprised at all to hear you're a Gemini.
fuckkit,
Been saying tht quote for 25 years.
star-
you know that's not me and my fear of heights-
I just like the cliffhanger connotation.
Theresa-
All my personalities say, HI.
Well, I love brussel sprouts.
My husband grew up in Levittown, LI.
I don't drink, never wanted to.
Does you wife read your blog?
hi lucy, I work about 10 min. from Levittown, does he miss it?
Mrs Poly really has no interest in my blog, and that's cool.
It's funny, I grew up in a dry house, but once I turned 15 Bam!
drank everything in sight. Now I'm a bit more sophisticated. Hah!
