I Have Been Tagged
The last post sports a comment wherein a fellow-survivor says she is participating in an internet meme and has tagged me "It." The rules are to post seven facts about myself and then tag seven other people, listing their names in my blog with links to get people there.
Well, I have a list of people's names to choose from right over yonder in the margin, but what if those people already got tagged and get irked at being tagged again? What if I start getting multiple tags from other people who are desperate to come up with seven people to tag? I could Google for survivors to tag, but what if they take unkindly to some random stranger tagging them? I just can't do it. I have a fear and horror of irritating people (which is quite unfortunate because I seem to do so regularly without intention anyway).
I'll go ahead and post some facts since I was asked, but I don't really want to intrude on other people.
1. I can't swim. I have an extreme dislike of putting my face in the water, and am almost always sure I am going to drown unless I have some kind of flotation device. However, I go to the beach every year for vacation.
2. I keep talking Brian out of selling his motorcycle, only partly because he enjoys riding so much. The other reason is that I think it's incredibly exciting to be married to a man who rides a Harley, and I would be sad to not be able to ride with him. Besides, what would I do with my chaps if he had no motorcycle?
3. I have chaps. They have fringe down the sides, tee hee.
4. My Star Wars Death Star Space Station Playset is complete with the original trash compactor foam and rope swing. I had to acquire components from multiple sources. eBay: allowing people to relive childhood for lots of money plus shipping.
5. I have ridden a camel at Giza and been inside one of the pyramids.
6. I was born two months early but was actually bigger than the other babies in the preemie ward. It was the first and last time I was ever "taller" than my peers. It is also one of the few times I have ever been early for anything.
7. I can recite the "Pledge of Allegiance" in Latin.

Just as an addition to me selling my motorcycle is the reasons that I often think of doing it. 1) So we could go on a nice trip somewhere. 2) The safety of it does bother me sometimes.
I do love it so much and it is a big stress reliever for me when I get a chance to go on longer rides but sometimes I think it would be nice if we could travel more than we do.

Hi Amy, you can tag me. I was orignally diagnosed at 39, progressed to mets at age 42. I learned about your blog from Brian on Club-Mets-BC.
