Meme
Today I was tagged for a meme by “Amusing” at “amusingonlife” for this massive meme. 18 items must be the biggest one I’ve attempted yet.
1. What were you afraid of as a child?
The definition ‘child’ gives me pause. If you mean under 11 then absolutely nothing at all. Over 11 then it would probably be the dark.
2. When have you been most courageous?
I have never been courageous about anything, I am an out and out, fully signed up member of the wimp brigade. I wear my yellow stripe with pride.
3. What sound most disturbs you?
Dentist’s drill. Actually any noise within a dentists office is enough to send me off to the funny farm.
4. What is the greatest amount of physical pain you’ve been in?
Jaw surgery. Worse than giving birth drug free four times, even if it had been consecutive.
5. What’s your biggest fear for your children? (or children in general if you don’t have your own)
That they might not reach adulthood. That when they reach adulthood they might not have long enough lives. That any life that they do have might not be as happy as it might be.
6. What is the hardest physical challenge you’ve achieved?
Aerobics instructor course when pregnant with number 2.
7. Which do you prefer: Mountains or oceans/big water?
The sea. [translation = the ocean]
8. What is the one thing you do for yourself that helps you keep everything together?
Read.
9. Ever had a close relative or friend with cancer?
My mum. Breast cancer, ten years ago and faring well now.
10. What are the things your friends count on you for?
I have no idea?
11. What is the best part of being in a committed relationship?
Always someone on hand to annoy.
12. What is the hardest part of being in a committed relationship?
Their infuriating annoyingness.
13. Summer or Winter? Why?
Late Spring in the UK, early Spring in the States.
14. Have you ever been in a school-yard fight? Why and what happened?
We didn’t have school yards we had play grounds.
15. Why blog?
Ummmmmmm?
16. Did you learn about sex, and/or sex safety from your parents?
No I was told the facts of life by my chum when we walked to school together one day, when I was about ten. I laughed like a drain and told her the real truth, that they come out of your tummy button.
17. How do you plan to talk to your kids about sex and/or sex safety?
I answer the questions when they come in an age appropriate manner, or rather this is what I have done for both the girls, I may need to alter my approach.
18. What are you most thankful for this year?
This year? As in 2007, or this year as in the last 12 months? Happy to answer following clarification.
So who am I supposed to tag? How many? Hmm? Let’s see.
“Elissa” from “managing autism.”
“Mary [MPJ]“ from “Mamampj”
“Blissfulmama” from “mumkeepingsane”
“Furiousball” at “furiousball”
“MmomOf3″ at “Momofonetwothree”
If I’ve not tagged you, have a go yourself and then get back to me so that I can come and take a peek - I nosy like that!
Cheers and a very happy Thanksgiving to everyone who stops on by.
Stumble it!

I really enjoyed this. That said, I don’t think I will do it. Maybe next time?
November 22nd, 2007 at 3:54 am
Just spent the last 20 minutes catching up! Love your sense of humour! And of course the excellent writing … You have a great way of capturing the essence and humour of even the most ordinary situations!

Happy Thanksgiving, Maddy! I’m afraid of the dark, too!

BWAHAHA
LOVE #s 11&12! So glad you did this meme. I’ve enjoyed learning more about you! :o)
Happy Thanksgiving!

I wasn’t scared of anything when I was under eleven either. The world was just full of excitement and fun. Looks like you and I where the lucky ones !
I thing the sound of the dentist is bad, but the smell is the most frightening.
Okay so I’m going to back track now. I was scared of the dentist when under eleven. I still remember my mother trying to bribe me, that I could have a Sindy (British Barbie doll)
if I would only let go of her coat in the waiting room and have my filling done !

Thanks for the tag. You know I always love being loved. And now I get the opportunity to show how much less witty I am than you. Drat.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Hope you’re having a great day.
I completely agree with you on #5 there.
November 22nd, 2007 at 7:05 pm
I totally agree about the dentist drill! And giving birth without painkillers wasn’t so bad; I’ve had worse pains, too.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’ll stop in again soon.

November 22nd, 2007 at 7:31 pm
thanks for stopping by my blog. my daughter and I had a good and intereting morning at the shelter.
And I’m an ocean girl, too.
November 22nd, 2007 at 7:33 pm
So with you on number 5.
And I’m an ocean/sea girl too - which is a good thing seeing as how we are moving from the mountains to the sea at the end of 08.
November 22nd, 2007 at 8:17 pm
I am so with you on the dentist noises!! Nice to read about you too.
November 22nd, 2007 at 11:04 pm
I’ll make the clarification–because anything goes–how ’bout in the last 12 months? No, make it better: how about in the last 15 months, just for kicks.
I like this insight into your selfitude.
November 23rd, 2007 at 3:05 am
Very interesting.
I have done it on my blog.
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:11 am
I loved reading about you and was nodding my head in complete agreement with you on many things. I am definitely a big scaredy-cat too, which is why I am surprised when jpeople call me scarey. If they only knew1
November 23rd, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Great meme. I sure agree with you about the dentist! And I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was 10. Scary stuff dentists and cancer. I am not ashamed to say they cause me nearly the equal amount of anxiety.
November 23rd, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Very fun. I love memes.
November 23rd, 2007 at 3:10 pm

Yours sincerely.
It was with some satisfaction that I read their chronic and saw his Biography.
This BLOG intends “TO GIVE & TO RECEIVE” information, of everything what in it encircles them, to say the truth without fear. To say a language that the people understands and likes to hear, and to see the reality of a “naked and raw SOCIETY”, much ignored time. Valley the penalty to see and to hear. Still, that the impact of these “PHOTOS AND VIDEOS “can produce a reflection effect, and until preventive.
I also want to make my “BLOG” which I think is a good vehicle for the transmission of information and awareness of global issues!
And already now call for after seeing make any comments if they feel, and also if possible to disclose your friends or with other communities.
Now my thank you for your attention!
Hug and all the best!
We count on all internautas, that they can order information that judge important PHOTOS VIDEOS TEXTS
