Ok, how have you not pumped your own gas??
ReplyDeleteAnd I think 95 deserves a blog post all of it's own!
I hearby tag you with the "Another 100 things" meme, and I can tag you, because I've done it, so there. Keep going - I really enjoyed reading this!
lovins,

Hi Burfica,
ReplyDeleteI can still do coasters but definitely no virtual reality stuff with a headset like they had in Disney.
Oooh, I love Mary Poppins!
Hi Fiwa,
Let me clear up #94: In New Jersey, we have gas station attendants so I've never had to pump my own. I would look like a complete idiot in other states sitting there waiting for someone to come over to my car.
The #95 one isn't interesting enough to blog about on it's own, but I will say that while walking on South Street in Philadelphia one day, a small motorcade came by and lots of people were on either side of this one convertible. I looked in and riding in the passenger seat was O.J. Alot of people were asking for his autograph, yes, a few were calling him names too, but mostly it was friendly. He was in town for an appearance somewhere in the City. I gave my hubby a dollar bill and asked him to get an autograph. I have NO idea why I wanted it. Maybe because everyone else was asking?? Hub couldn't get it. So I grabbed the dollar and walked up along side of the car. O.J. looked at me, smiled, and said hello. He took my buck and signed his name. He apologized, saying the signature was a little scribbly because the car was moving. I said something like, no problem, and smiled back. That was that. I didn't really know much of him before the trial. But it was just one of those strange things you do sometimes.
Thanks for the tag... I'm working on the next list! ;) Hugs, M
