I remember when we lived in Beaconsfield, (Bucks) having to pay the TV License and keeping it showing by the set all the time. I still have the last one, I keep it displayed by the set as any Loyal Subject of the Queen should (okay, so I'm only a Loyal Subject in my heart, it is only because I had to be with my mother when I was born is all...) <BR/>Two things I love about myself? <BR/>I love that I am capable of being a good friend and handy shoulder to cry on (shoulder has been a bit soggy this year, too)<BR/>and 2. I love that I'm so much like my mother...while others might complain that one day they looked in the mirror and saw their mother staring back at them, I in fact love that there is so much of my mother in me.

My son turned 18 last year but received a polling card for a local election months before his 18th! (I had ticked that he would be 18 in 2007 because he was.)When I pointed it out and said he wouldn't be voting obviously, I was told if he had a voting card then he could! :-/ He didn't.<BR/><BR/>Now 2 things about myself that I like...<BR/>1. I am honest - sometimes TOO honest but you will never catch me lying.<BR/>2. I am a loyal, empathic and trustworthy friend.<BR/><BR/>Where are your two? I presume they are at Bindi's? I'll have to go look.<BR/>Well deserved award and thanks for passing it on.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247084030899971480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-39668354227475536892008-05-06T22:55:00.000+01:002008-05-06T22:55:00.000+01:00I vote for you!I vote for you!david mcmahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009095220051075552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-38232216199315351422008-05-06T21:08:00.000+01:002008-05-06T21:08:00.000+01:00Two things?

It's against the law not to fill them out. My gram, of all people, was always suspicious of having to fill them out ('What do they want to know all that for?') but I made her fill it in, anyway.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on that beautiful award, Akelamalu - I'll take it proudly, but once again I have to put it on hold as I have a few other things I have to post, first. I'll let you know when it goes up.<BR/><BR/>Now, two wonderful things about me...gosh, where do I start, there are so many...<BR/><BR/>I have a huge sense of humor and love to laugh.<BR/><BR/>I'm always willing to give someone who needs to talk a few minutes of my time.
