Ella's.....Have You Ever....

              Ella posted her version of Have You Ever.....  After reading her version...adventurous is a word that comes to mind....Here are my answers...

Said something very rude to a doctor during childbirth? 
      Not that i remember....but it could part of the process that i have since blocked out....


Seen someone pop their eyeball out?
    Thankfully, I am positive that i can say no, I have not.

Had  your stomach pumped?
    See the above answer.....happily saying no, again.

Been to a drag show with a very large gay man?
   No, again.  But this time I am wishing it was a yes.....sounds like fun.

Eaten a worm?  
  A gummy one yes...a chocolate one yes...a real one...NO.

Run a nifty, little money -making business when you were 11 or 12  years old buying girlie magazines for neighborhood boys?
No, but i do admire Ella's business sense.

Crawled through an underground storm sewer for 5 blocks?
Once again ....no.

Lied about your weight?
Well DUH....yes.  (and to Master...never with You Sir.)

Needed your husband to help you up the stairs because you were inebriated?
Been inebriated many times...I just sleep where ever i land...stairs would be too much of a challenge.

Seen a movie star in an airport?
Not an airport, but in NYC last year, celebrating my birthday with my daughters, Sally Fields sat next to us at dinner...and she toasted me!

Walked out of a movie?
Not that i remember, but i have slept through many a movie....

Sat on a jury?
Yes...although i had been told lawyers do not like teachers on juries...they think too much, i was chosen twice.  The first time, the accused and His lawyer walked in, looked at us, asked to speak to His lawyer and decided to plead guilty.  I do not think he was looking at me at the time.  The second time, trial lasted 2 days...deliberations a  day....guilty.

Told a child...because i said so?  Oh yes....mine and other people's.  Is there a mom who has not?

Ran a cash register in a grocery store when you were 8 years old?
Not when i was 8, but my first paying job...besides baby sitting...was a cashier in a supermarket.  I was even robbed one day...handed over all the cash without him having to ask twice...

Wrote a eulogy for a parent?
No, my niece volunteered to do my dad's...and she nailed it.  She did the same for my mom.

Heard a song you were sure was written and sung just for you?
When i was in a college and a few years after.....Jeremiah was a Bullfrog...that song could get me 'having a few more', dancing on tables....
now...Rod Stewart's, "I'll Stand By You"....it is on my ipod and i hear it when i walk..i always think it could have been written by Master for me...

Roasted chestnuts on an open fire?
Yes...very yummy...

Eaten 44 shrimp at a sitting?
I have never counted as i ate...but 44 seems like a lot.....so I am going to say no.

Thrown all phones in a drawer for an entire weekend?
No, but during family vacations, they can only be used first thing in the morning, and before bed....

Gone on a vacation with just you?
If you count going to a retreat, yes a few times. Loved it.

Thanks, Ella...
