Miss Begotten is one of my pet names for myself, for Southern Gothic reasons best kept to myself. Miss Begotten tries to speak plainly, but sometimes she tends to babble -- parenthetically, of course. It's never my intention to offend (and usually that's true - except on those [maybe not so] rare occasions when I mean it very friggin' much) but it sometimes happens, so if you're unusually easily offended...

2. Name 3 foods you hate. Green peppers, raw onions, cooked turnips.
3. Name the 3 times when you were the most frightened. During a resuscitation in the hospital setting, when I lost Evil Genius in the grocery store, and...I guess that's it.
4. Name 3 thriftshop items in your home. Our rocking chair (from St. Vinny's), our other rocking chair (from the curb), and an ottoman (from the curb). The curb is kind of like a mega thrift shop, right?

Great answers, VE. It sounds to me as though you meet life head-on. I admire that. Love your antique thriftshop items in #4.:)
Kan, you don't like coconut? My goodness! I hear your pain in #3 and #5. And what happened to YOUR thriftshop items?:)
It's good you so admire those 3, /t. Lord knows they'll soak up plenty of news ink this year, so you won't get bored.:)
I hate those three #2 items, too, Greeny. #3 -- yikes! I can see how frightening that must have been. You hit the nail on the head with #4, my dear. The curb is the biggest, bestest mega thriftshop in the world.:)
1)..GM Shop Rat, Civil Service, Chiropractor..
2)..Liver, Canned Peas, Headcheese.
3)..In 1987, I had a Kidney stone, In 1995 I was in ICU for 3 days nearly in a diabetic coma, and in 1997 I had an intestinal resection.
4).. hahahahahahaha
5)..Social Security, The War, My 401K
6)..Godiva, What on Earth, and Victoria's Secret.
7)..Bill Gates, Tiger Woods, , Serena Joy!!!!
Have a great evening Sherry...xoxbgxoxox
You know, Galen, just reading your #2 is triggering my gag reflex. Ugh! #3 -- Whoa, that's some serious stuff. I'm SO glad that's all in the past. I am insulted by #7. Hmph! For putting me behind Gates & Woods, I believe something nice from your Godiva catalogue would be in order.:-)
DOH!!!!!
Boy, THAT was stupid of me!!!
Are you telling me that you like chocolate?
hehehehehe...xoxox
We shall see....
Do I like chocolate? Duh! You know which kind. You know what you have to do, bud.:-)
1. Name 3 career options you considered before settling on your chosen profession.
Career?
2. Name 3 foods you hate.
Other than meat?
raw onions
cantaloupe
bell peppers
3. Name the 3 times when you were the most frightened.
I can't think of any.
4. Name 3 thriftshop items in your home.
3???? 3???????????????
Outside of underwear and edibles, I'm not sure I have anything new. Oh, except my washer/dryer and my mattress. Those are new.
5. Name 3 compelling reasons for the necessity of political reform.
too...much...thinking......must...go...eat...ice cream.......
6. Name the last 3 catalogues you received in the mail.
I have no idea, as they are all unsolicited and I throw them away [into the recycle bin]. Oo-oo: I get the Portland Art Museum catalogue of upcoming exhibits -- does that count? That's one.
7. Name 3 public figures you most admire.
Gah! Enough with the thinking!
You don't like cantaloupe, Camille? I love it! I hate onions and peppers, though.:)
It's always the ONLY fruit in the 'fruit salads' in Texas. They might as well just put it on the menu as 'Big Bowl of Cantaloupe.'
I think I got burned out in the days before there were many non-meat options at restaurants.
