Ella's "HAVE YOU EVER?"

Ella created a fun Meme for many of us to try! It was a lot of fun! Of course my life is not nearly as exciting as hers!

1.  Said something very rude to a doctor during childbirth? No, but I should have……I was high risk with my first pregnancy. I had Preeclampsia  and other complications.  There was a very eager resident who was 'grand standing.' I needed to be induced and he snuck in to break my water….The idiot didn’t let the nurses know or make sure the bed was covered etc…..I had no clue this was unusual but those nurses let him know!

2.  Seen someone pop their eyeball out? Nah….but I actually had an experience with a bouncing cow’s eyeball in a HS Biology class!

3.  Had your stomach pumped? No, never. Thank goodness!

4.  Been to a drag show with a very large gay man? Definitely been to a few drag shows with some very attractive tall gay men!

5.  Eaten a worm? Thought about what would happen if someone ate the worm in a bottle of Taquilla!

6.  Run a nifty, little money-making business when you were 11-12 years old buying girlie magazines for the boys in the neighborhood? No but read them when I was babysitting at a funeral home around the age of 14

7.  Crawled through an underground storm sewer for 5 blocks? Um….Never ever would I have gone down into something like that! LOL

8.  Lied about your weight? Every single day of my life! I even refuse to get weighed at the doctors these days!

9.  Needed your husband to help you up the stairs because you were inebriated? I have been in some situations where I was a bit unsteady! Hubby was there to assist! But I have also helped the man!

10.  Seen a movie star in an airport? Not the airport, but I have seen a movie star in Ireland!

11.  Walked out of a movie? I don’t think I have……

12.  Sat on a jury? I have been called for Jury duty but I have always been let go…..

13.  Told a child, "Because I said so." Oh yes I have! I used to be so idealistic. I promised myself I would always talk to my kids….and at school. Eh! It is so very liberating to use those words!

14.  Ran a cash register in a small grocery store when you were 8 years old? No but played store with a toy cash register!

15.  Wrote a eulogy for a parent? I have been involved with the communal theme and thoughts that were to be shared at my mother’s Eulogy this past May.

16.  Heard a song you were sure was written and sung just for you? Not sure I have thought a song was written specifically for me, however I have felt that songs have captured emotions for me during difficult and happy times.

17.  Roasted chestnuts on an open fire? No, however we always received Chestnuts in our Christmas stockings as a child!

18.  Eaten 44 shrimp at one sitting? I never counted. However I am sure I have come close! I LOVE shrimp!

19.  Thrown all phones in a drawer for the entire weekend? PANIC! I am unfortunately addicted to a phone or PC. My Scotsman is bad too, however he has taken the phone from me a few times, (I may be worse than him) when I am not in the moment. He always returns it after a short time!

20.  Gone on a vacation all by yourself? No, but I have gone to museums by myself. LOL

Thanks Ella!
