Yes dear readers it’s meme time again.  I was tagged with this new twist of an old theme.  Instead of being asked to post things about myself I was tagged by Kate at ….because I said so! to ask others for their input on things about me.  Hmmmm said I and off I sent an email to one of my sisters, my best friend and his wife, an old friend who lives overseas and a virtual friend from Oz.

This is the email I sent.

I have been tagged to do another “6 things about you” meme on my blog but this one has a twist.
I would like you to write back and tell me something about me that I can put on my blog.  I’ll credit you as author.
I’m going to ask 5 other people to do the same so I can post “Six things about me by others”

The first to respond was my sister Trisha.  She said…
You are the best at  helping someone “in need.”  Many, many times in my life I have been in need……of support,  of someone to listen, of a friend, of someone to drive 100 miles to offer that support and you’ve, without fail, have always come through.  How’s that?

Then my friend Michele in Dubai wrote back and said….
No fair….
I’m not a blogger….
1.  U like sitting in a hot tub when its snowing 2.  U can’t drink Tequila 3.  U SHOULDN’T drink Vodka 4.  U don’t Hate cats even though u pretend u do. 5. Quite sentimental & romantic even though it spoils ur tuff guy image. 6.Ur a jerk and it’s on ur permanent record. 

Helen in Sydney Austrailia also took the time to write…..
Ah so is this a test to see if I’ve been paying attention over the past 8 months?
You had a romantic tryst with Joan Jet
You shoot squirrells as they attempt to break in through your bathroom window You have an unhealthy fascination for time pieces Your favourite sayings are “Horse Hockey”, “Cool Beans”, “Too Too Funny” “Aint no thing” “No biggie” and “For real”
You have an addiction to Stromboli Pizza which kicks in most Friday nights You’re going to mount the saphire in your wedding ring on the front sight of a  Kreighof or Benelli You have a vyall of crude oil pumped from the McClintock well to sitting on a bookshelf beside a piece of coal from somewhere else in PA
Shall I go on?

My best friend Jim finally got back to me with this….
Brian was my first roommate ever… in a hospital nursery then 19 years later in college we were roommates again, he grew 6 feet 2 inches in that time, I think he has stopped getting taller now.

Jims wife Linda also chimed in…
Brian is a motorcycle enthusiast he likes to ride to Ephrata Pa. to look at all the motorcycles and sidecars. He is a master of trivia and a lifelong friend.”  Don’t Ya know I had to include sidecars.
Geez even their dogs got in on the act.
Polly and Duke the aussie dogs say:
He smells like meat sometimes and is pretty good with a ball. 

So now you have a bunch of information about me as written by others.  My last task on this meme is to tag some other unsuspecting bloggers.
The envelope please?
And the winners are……
Jefferson Davis
K8 the Gr8
Grandad
Cravey
Baino
