Just MeMe … And YouYou …
[Written in bits and pieces over the last week, which may explain any temporal juxtapositions that seem to lack harmonic continuum synchronization.]
Just as I was beginning to think I had safely hidden from all the remaining memes, here comes another one. It is not yet clear what I did to deserve this, but my new found friend, Pagan Sphinx (doncha just love that name), has whapped me upside the head with a tag. I s’pose she is working off her anger from being dragged into it herownself. Or maybe she was having a bad hair day. Or maybe I really did do something wrong that raised her ire — but I certainly don’t know what that might be. Whatever the case, I am but putty in her hands. So with that bullshit out of the way, here goes…
1. Ten years ago I was… several years younger than I am now.
2. Five things on today’s To Do list… will probably not get done. The list includes taking the dog out before I go to work, going to a customer’s site to investigate a problem that I already do not not know how to solve, returning to the office and installing hard drive upgrades in two notebook systems, call Roomie a couple of times to see if she’s OK (still recovering from hysterectomy 2-1/2 weeks ago), a visit to Waffle House and/or Donut Den, cursing spiraling gas prices and the beneficiaries of those excessive oil company profits (think Bush and Cheney for starters), and then in the afternoon I will…
3. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire… do not include working my ass off as I now do. Some things that first come to mind include paying off everything and telling all my creditors to go to hell, taking care of my extended family’s needs, including getting my Mom out of the nursing home and into a place of her own with full-time paid round the clock help. Significant donations to my alma maters, University of Tennessee and University of Pittsburgh, and setting up a major research foundation for stem cell research (go to hell, George W. Bush!). I think a new house on one level (bad knee) would be in order, something like the California contemporary that I designed and built several years ago, the one my ex stole from me. Whatever billions are left, I would turn over management of to my good friend and customer, who I believe to be one of the brightest financial advisors in the land. Then, I would have me some fun… maybe even buy that shetland pony that Santa never brought me…
… Join us again tomorrow, same time, same station, for Part Deux, the exciting conclusion of this mind expanding post …

Now this is fun! You could be addictive yourself. And how cool that you designed a house! I hate it that it’s no longer yours.
In the afternoon, you will WHAT? Will it be in the next installment?
Thanks for being a good sport about the meme.
If you get rich, can I come over and stroke the pony?
If you think you are working hard now, wait till your Billion comes in. You will be working 10 times as hard protecting it from the government and other leeches.
first of all i guess my ai or ia or what ever it is doesn’t pick up your get your name in stars…second of all, every time i come over here my computer has to block a virus of some kind…like 3 of them each time…weird..can i get all the stuff i already have on my browser thingy(stumble upon, favorites etc. on firefox?..i used to have it and liked it ok..but i also found that i got a lot of blocked virus’s from my computer when i used it…????
the virus blocked says ‘infected webpage’
@Jackie: I had no idea there was any kind of problem. So sorry! I’ll do some checking and see what’s going on. Can you tell me what piece of software you’re using that tells you ‘infected webpage’?
I hope Roomie is recovering as expected…we had no idea that was what was keeping you so occupied. My very best wishes to her.
As for your Mom, tell me where you would find the reliable, considerate, trustworthy, and knowledgeable round the clock help. I would ante up for that a few hours a week.
