9. If you had the choice to age forward (like we are now) or aging backwards (think Benjamin Buttons) which would you choose and why? I would age back 20 years...reasons that only one other understands.

Another Sunday Meme from Sunday Stealing. Many answers I could of put but chose the ones I thought of at first.

My First Sunday meme

I was over at Crushed's site touring around blogs, followed his link to Judd Corizan's site and am joining in on the Sunday Stealing meme. I think its a great idea and interesting....

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find both traditional and unique memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to either make it more relevant to our global players, or make it less repetitive.

My favorite age: 40, it's when I started learning there are people in the world who matter and real men do exist.

My best friend(s): My hobby farm consultant, Gina, and Rita.

My celebrity crush: Lots here, I would have to say, Patrick Swayze comes first followed by Robert Downey Jr.

My defining characteristic: My sense of what is right and wrong and ability to laugh.

My most evil moment: Having the sim card and phone locked on my ex's mobile phone when he wouldn't return it back to me. Was mine anyway.

My favorite food: Moreton Bay Bugs mmmm

My grossest injury: A dog bite just underneath my eye but that was when I was a wee child.

My biggest hatred: Is of Those who think they know you better than yourself

My most illegal activity: When I tried pot.

My need for justice: That those in positions of power have their power halved, that they be removed from the pedestal they put themselves on. Those who make decisions that ultimately affect us all, come down from their ivory towers and see how life is, not just cos it says something else in a text book.

My most knowledgeable field: Life in general as a mother and working with aged people who have dementia/alzheimers and those who require high care in nursing homes.

My life’s goal: To see my children healthy and happy and to dunk the hobby farm consultant.

My mother’s influence:. Not to treat my children the way she did us, and to never turn my back on them.

My nerdiest point: Loving it when I was doing work experience in the Library and also being involved in Drama plays.

My oldest memory: Going to Sunday School and then onto the movies. I recall nicking off from my older sisters and taking the ferry across the Mersey River alone at 4, and my Grandad waiting for me on the other side with a switchy stick lol.

My perfect date: On the beach at sunset with a picnic basket, just the two of us.

My unanswered question: If there is a God, surely he would not allow all the suffering we see in the world on such a grand scale, for example, the starving children of Africa.

My random fact: When you sneeze, air escapes your nostrils at 150kph

My stupidest decision: To take the advice of a solicitor which in turn caused years of heartache.

My favorite television show: The Great Outdoors

My style of underwear: Nun.....kidding

My favorite vegetable: pumpkin, but I like them all really. Variety.

My weakest trait: Allowing others to use me

My X-men power: ..

My strongest yearning: To live life virtually hassle free and for those who intrude on my personal space without my consent, to bugger off.

My moment of Zen: I don't have one particular moment.

Arte y Pico Award

Wednesday , Pam from Life On a Southern Farm awarded me the Arte y Pico award for which I am very thankful and flattered. I think I have this correct where I have to choose 5 bloggers to also hand out the award. I would have said Pam but she has already received this a few times and rightly so. There are so many in my links who are deserving , would like to nominate you all as the reason you are there is because I find your blog interesting , I may not agree with all that you write but have the respect to accept and acknowledge differences.

Cherie from Cheriesplace as her blog is a mixture of fun things to see and read about and she touches base with the rights of the 'ordinary' person. Cherie shows us not to be afraid of experimenting with photos and has produced awesome results.

Welshcakes from Sicily Scene who teases us with delightful foods and recipes from Sicily, making me envious of the lifestyle there. Occasionally Ms Simi makes her presence known to remind us she is the Mistress in charge.

Ginro from An Englishmans Chronicles, although he writes some serious issues, I find his sense of humor and style of writing with the use of bigger words easy to understand.

JMB from Nobody Important simply because her caring nature shines through on various posts and the many different topics of which she writes are always insightful.

Jams ODonnell from The Poor Mouth. Jam has one of the best blogs I have read. Ranging from topics that are humorous to heartfelt, arty to serious, Jams mixes it up with something for everyone.

There is only supposed to be 5 but I am thinking of Megan from Imaginif, Crushed, Grendel, Calum, and Mutley who cracks me up! you all are deserved of this award also.

M...M...M..... Mere Male Meme

Think it is about time we had a male orientated meme. The first 6 questions are Ginro's ideas and a few more have been added. How many of the male readers are game enough to answer and post this in their site, or here if they wish? Just answer and nominate who you wish to tag with M...M...M. I will tag ALL of the male readers who appear in the list on the left.
