Another 50 things about me
Frank Sinatra once, long ago, released an album titled;

I'm not sure you mentioned blogging, but it's good to know! ;)
I hope you like blogging. I sure do!
Good list!
It is so much fun to read this, Peter. I love blogging too, of course. I used to be 5'10" but I have lost about 1/2", and gained too much! (even though I cook and eat to live, as you do.)
I love to blog too. I call fellow bloggers that I've gotten to know my "blog friends" too. My hubby thought that was funny, since these are people I have never really met. I said they are like pen pals.
I hope you have your dad's genes too, and then some!
Ordering a Diet Coke helps ease the guilt.
I, too, am too short for my weight. :)
I never was able to even finish my 100. don't think I'll try for 150 :)
Hi all, You might notice that I haven't listed the colour of my eyes Muzik, they are a sort of blood shot brown I think.
By the way I love your 100 things list!!!
Hi Peter ~~ Another good list.
It seems quite a lot of us are shorter than we were and not tall
enough for our weight!!!
I've read your post. Should it concern either one of us that we are very similar in our taste's?
I had a suit saleman call me 'fully developed'. You might add that into your vocabulary.
As I said, I enjoyed the list, it was a list wasn't it. My memory isn't as good as it once was.
Merry Christmas!
Hahaha! I love blogging too! And I'm a Gemini too! :)
It's great learning more about you!
Lois Lane
I'm a Gemini too. Never occurred to me that some people might have a problem with that.
Interesting that there are no Australian stars among your favorites.
E.G. Mel Gibson, Paul Hogan, Yahoo Serious.
Road Warrior is one of my very favorite movies.
Hi Dave, It's surprising what slips your mind in the heat of list making, yes some of my favourites are from Oz;
Mel Gibson, Guy Pearce, Russell (Kiwi) Crowe, Bryan Brown, Naomi Watts, Claudia Karvan, Jack Thompson, Nicole Kidman, again the list could go on!
Same with films, an oversight not to mention any; The Man From Snowy River, is just one of my all time favourites.
Two things you forgot:
Actors: Leo Gorcey, Jay Silverheels
Things to do: You didn't mention whether or not you enjoy b**gging.
You love blogging? I never would have guessed. ;-)
Vickie sent me over, you've got a great place here. I'll be back.
Have a good day.
no.135, lets set it up. They'll never see it coming, I love it!
If you do successfully attempt 135 - please take pictures. I imagine the pizza boxes and other non-essentials will be strewn about like those beer bottles were after your last party.
Peter - again - another fabulous list. You and I have a lot of things in common. I think if my height were weight proportianate I would stand about 8 feet tall... then I know for sure everyone I dated would be shorter than me. As it stands right now they usually are since a lot of men are not taller than 5 11 and a smidge themselves. Oh well!
You're the best and I am happy happy happy that you sorta like to blog from time to time. Ha!
Meg
