Hi Teach - I've already done this one back in October. Here's the link: Crazy Eights. Thanks for thinking of me though. Have a great day. :)
No problem, Sandee!
Ooh, very interesting. That Aerosmith song brings back a few good memories for me. I haven't been to Ireland for many years - but if you get the chance, go. You won't be disappointed. I know what you mean about network TV. It generally stinks here in the UK, too. I simply don't understand how so many people can sit in front of the TV for hours on end, being spoon-fed utter brain-rot. If there was no such thing as cable TV, and documentary channels, I'd happily live without a TV.
Thanks for accepting the tag - I've discovered quite a few interesting and unexpected things about you. Hope you're having a nice weekend!
Thanks Siani!
Mary,
Thanks for the tag. I will give it a try. I enjoyed reading your answers! Thanks for thinking of me. God bless.
I will do mine on Tuesday. Actually feels like ages since I have done a tagged meme.
Planning to do my 100 list today.
Oh, "Love In An Elevator" - I love this song... and Jake Gyllenhaal *sigh* =)
Thanks for thinking about me, teach. I´ve done one of those 8-things MEMEs a while ago (To MEME or not to MEME) - some of the questions were mentioned as well, but I´ll answer yours, too - it looks like fun and I like to have a look if my mind has changed =)
Have a great day!
Netflix definitely can stink if you'd rather read a book. Check out BookSwim.com and see if it's up your alley. It's got the same idea (no due dates, no late fees, free shipping, online rental pool), but for something useful: books.
