flemmings un-tagged me.

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

I don't know seven people who haven't been tagged! Besides, tagging people without first checking if they wanted to be tagged would be rude. So I guess it dies here.


1. I grind my teeth in my sleep.
2. Ever since I was a teen, I've been able to make my bed by pulling the covers up over my head before sliding out of bed. (Except when I thrash in my sleep.)
3. I used to not care for hydrangeas, but I lived in a desert climate. Now that I live in a wet climate, I see that hydrangeas are one of the most beautiful shrubs in the garden.
4. My favorite color is deep ruby red, known as pigeons blood, except that I like deep sapphire blue better.
5. I'm a horribly intolerant person, but letting on would be rude, so I hide it.
6. I'm a spider solitare junky. Freecell solitare got too easy and minesweeper takes too much thinking
7. I have owned a copy of Harry Potter vol. 7 since the day it came out, but I've only read chapter 1. I plan to read chapter two next week sometime ... maybe.

LOL! I don't know why you would think PT would say that, but in fact she prefers very dark colors.

I'll have to take a look at yukon!

I finished Harry Potter on Sunday. I wound up escorting the younger child and friends to the amusement park and during my 7 hours of imprisonment, I polished off the book.

Younger, more. And I was thinking of the inherent illogic of the sentence itself: 'I like x the best except that I like y better.'

Weren't you supposed to be making sure the youngies didn't fall out of ferris wheels or have their feet severed in rides?

Oh, yeah! I can see where Younger might just say that!

Naw, I no longer monitor the teens. If they want to fall out of ferris wheels, that's their problem. Severed feet hadn't occurred to me and might have put me off. The good thing about the local amusement park is it's primarily water rides, so more chance of drowning and less chance of disfigurement. On the way down, they were busily telling me this place has had 4 deaths already this summer - three apparently due to electrocution. I didn't catch the 4th cause of death.

These days, I mostly act as an anchor point, storage locker, and ATM. It's a lot like with two year olds, they can leave you, but you can't leave them. Only, teens have a lot further and more expensive range.
