All those sound good to me. I'm especially fond of #1.
The one I'd add is to live to see Democrats take back Congress in 06 and the White House in 08.
Oh, and I am soooo ready for that lotto win myself as well!
I had Jeremiah Johnson on my list too, but then it got bumped by something else (can't remember what). I love that movie.
I have a pretty good memory, but sometimes in the middle of speaking I forget a word, and it just won't come to me at all. One of the lesser known symptoms of menopause.
I still haven’t filled mine out yet – and I have that '4' one as well. Lord, has this been a busy week – or at least a long one! And let us not talk about menopause! No one told me about that memory thing. It just drives me wacky that I can't find the right word. That’s enough on it’s own to make you irritable right there!
Hey Wanda,
I think if the Republicans win in the 06 elections, there will be the start of an exodus, because it will mean that the little power the people have left has been usurped.
Hey RD,
That movie makes it for me, if only for the incredible scenery (not to mention the youthful Redford).
Whew, Menopause! I thought I might be getting alzheimers! The words tend to come a half a day later... after you don't need them anymore. Dictionary.com, and thesaurus.com - my favorites!
Hey FLS,
I doesn't so much make me cranky, as embarassed, especially when my son starts finishing sentences for me in frustration, then I hafta say - no no, I meant....
Hey DPR - *chuckle* I must have forgotten more than I remember, by now.
Well, here's a comment. I think I read that you might like comments? Great answers to the meme! Happy New Year, SB_Gypsy! Let's win that powerball! :)
oh, now I read the comments you already had and remember that I forget a lot of stuff, as well... and what The Fat Lady Sings said about not being able to think of the correct word... goes double for me! It really is ANNOYING!
my word verification this time is alzknf - since alzheimer's starts with alz, do you think it's a bad omen for me? What do I do to counteract it? Throw salt over my right shoulder? Just not worry about it? Well, that is certainly what I'm going to do:)
Yes! I think you are a very good photographer! The bottom picture stayed as my background until Rexroth's Daughter posted those pictures from Peter Pan in Germany. The first one she posted, ended up making your's move. That one looks like the ice princess's forest. By the way, I'm sorry for cluttering up your comment thread, but you did say you liked comments:)
Hey, OWL,
I love getting comments!
The hard part about winning the Power ball is remembering to buy the ticket!
I'm so glad you like my pics, I've copied a few of yours for my wallpaper too!
OWL - I ended up with the third pic from RD's ice princess photos - I really love that one.
