Just MeMe … And YouYou … Part 2
[In yesterday’s exciting opening act of this meme, we followed the request and instructions of Pagan Sphinx, who recruited me into participation in this important discussion. The opener included hair raising commentaries on my To Do list, and what I might do if I became a billionaire. If you have not had the pleasure of reading that first installment, it doesn’t matter since it has nothing to do with today’s conclusion, but you are certainly welcome to jump back, Jack, and read it prior, during, or after reading today’s edition… ]
4. Three bad habits… are difficult to sift out of the many that I have. Hmmm… I guess number one would be eating patterns — no breakfast, lunch on the fly or not at all, gigantic dinner followed by too many late night snacks. Secondly, though I quit a while back, I am and will always be a smoker. Every hour, every day, I want a cigarette. It’s like being an alcoholic — there is no such thing as being over it. It’s forever just one hour, one day at a time. And in third place… I don’t know… I’m torn between picking my nose while driving and farting out loud when there’s nobody around.
5. Five places I’ve lived… if you call it living. Pittsburgh PA, Richmond IN, Meridian MS, Knoxville TN, NYC (briefly) and currently Franklin TN, which is suburban Nashville. That’s six and there are more, but this question is boring.
6. Five jobs I’ve had… ran the gamut from clerk in a department store, to pin setter in a bowling alley, engineer in a major industrial plant, middle-management position for a Fortune 50 company, and currently business owner/entrepreneur. There are several more. Perhaps one of these days I’ll find something I can do…
Now here is where I balk. I played the game. I gave it my all. And I sincerely hope that Pagan is not too terribly embarrassed or disappointed. Or sorry that she picked me. But rather than tag folks and have them stalking me for all eternity with revenge in their hearts, I will leave it for you, dear readers, to honor Pagan with a visit to her blog . If you are among the first three to read these words (I can assure you that you are), then take it upon yourself to respond as if I had tagged you myownself. Honor system, now, boys and girls…

Oh bu**er, you caught me out there Winston, (honour system etc).
As regards four: Oh boy does this sound familiar. The advice I’ve been given (medical) in the past six weeks in relation to the passing of wind is, that the wind prob is related to the eating pattern. And better out than in, so trumpet away. It’s better for your system.
Nashville, eh. An ancestor of mine according to the family tree, emigrated to Nashville and was a nun with the Sisters of Mercy.
I attended the local Srs of Mercy Convent School, though I recall little mercy, except from one nun, Sr Enda, our one-eyed Art & Domestic Science teacher, she was the gem that saved their reputation in my eyes.
Ok, I pwn-ied up.
I, terribly disspointed to have picked you? No. However, you never did answer my questions in the comments, which perhaps is in good taste on your part.
Thanks for the linky-love!
@Pagan: Check your email…
Winston, I took the non-tag and ran with it! Smiles.
Good for you for not smoking. Every day. I know that’s not easy because I share that habit or shared it.
More fun reading, neighbor!
It is hard to quit smoking. But you can do it. And you will feel much better.
One day.
One week.
One month.
One year.
One decade……
Pin setter? You mean there’s a little man on each lane standing the pins up again? I thought it was all done by machine!
@Liz: We’re talking about bowling antiquity here, before automated pin setters. Yes, there was an actual human back there setting the pins, which were of course each individually hand carved from maple tree trunks. I did that as a part time job when in college — pin setting, not the pin carving. Actually, I fabricated the part about the pin carving, though they really were made of wood back then.
