Tagalicious

I just read our friends the Gunnell's blog and we have been tagged to share a few things. I don't normally do these but what heck.

4 Things you might not know about me:
(This is a tough one for me because I pretty much just let it all hang out, so to speak)
1.  I make snap judgments about a people I meet and they prove correct 95% of the time.
2.  I took a tap dancing class in college
3.  I am relentlessly persistent and a procrastinator (you figure it out)
4.  I'm very strategic.  I min/max everything: determine the worst possible(minimum)/best possible(maximum) outcome.  It helps me figure out the most likely realistic outcome.  My friend Dan calls this risk/reward.  Whatever it's called, I do it all the time.

4 Things I value the most:
1. Family
2. Close friendship
3. Loyalty
4. People who are there when you need them

4 jobs I've had:
1. Shearing sheep
2. Subway sandwich artist
3. Shari's host and waiter
4. Chemistry tutor  (at community college)

Some websites I check regularly:
1. Every news site you can think of
2. Then I check them again
3. PVP
4. Many different cartoons/cartoonists
5. You Tube
6. Craigslist

Nicknames:
1. Twitch
2. Meathead (two uncles in Oklahoma)
3. Dev, Devy, Big D, E-Dev, Dev-Dogg, Heavy D, Dev-ilweed
4. BadAngryBarney (I use that one for online games)

Places I've lived:
1. Pennsylvania
2. Waldorf, Maryland
3. Owasso, Oklahoma
4. Dallas, Oregon
5. Corvallis, Oregon
6. Bothell/Kenmore, Washington

Important life lessons:
1.  If you need or want some thing ask for it.  No one owes you anything.
2.  If you need something done, do it.
3.  Swallow your pride, it will slowly drag you face down along the rough gravel road to your destruction.
4.  Failure is just another path to success if you learn from it.
5.  Don't wait to be happy.
6.  And do not take Cayenne capsules for stomach problems (thanks Brandi!)

Now how could she have possibly known about the medicinal benefits of cayenne?
Go figure!
I believe I may have learned something new about you.
Shearing sheep?????????
Grandpa Gunter would be proud.

You may have misunderstood. After taking cayenne for my stomach problems they got much worse and I spent the evening throwing up. Not really a ringing endorsement for its medicinal benefits.

Margo Clift said...

Wow, that is a bummer deal.
I always have great luck with cayenne.
May be you had a bug that would have done you in had you not thrown it up.
It may have saved your life. LOL
