Anyway, here is the award:
But, like anything worthwhile, it comes with a set of rules (dammit).
Rule 1. Put the award/logo image on your blog.
Rule 2. List the rules.
Rule 3. Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog. Thanks to Toni at http://musingsfrommara.blogspot.com
Rule 4. Also mention the creator of the award and provide a link. The Mystery Blogger award was created by Okoto Enigma.
Rule 5. Tell your readers three things about yourself. (1) born & bred in philly and damn proud of it, (2) 28 year cancer survivor, (3) knitter.
Rule 6. Nominate other bloggers (in no particular order; I don't play favorites):
Dr. Spo
Dave
Fearsome Beard
R.J. (San Diego)
Mitchell
Rule 7. Nominate those people (this rule is stupid; we already did that in Rule 6).
Rule 8. Ask your nominees any five questions of your choice, plus one weird or funny question.
1. What deceased person would you like to meet and why?
2. Truth or Dare?
3. What is your creative talent?
4. Clothing - necessary or useless?
5. What is the first name of your BFF?
Weird/funny question - what is your fave tune that ALWAYS makes you smile?
Rule 9. Share a link to my blog's best post.
UPDATE: Toni "reminded" me that I forgot to answer her questions. So here goes:
1) What made you decide to start blogging? - I was dared into it by several friends.
2) Do you have any schedule for posting or is it spontaneous? - My Saturday Night Protest Party is my only scheduled scribble; otherwise, it's when the mood strikes me.
3) Have you ever been in a situation that seemed bad but ended up leading to something positive? - So many shitty jobs have always led to something better; I have been in my current position 14 years come October.
4) Ever given up on reading a book but then gone back to it later? - Only one: Gilda Radner's "It's Always Something". I was given that book when I was fighting my own cancer battle. It took me 3 tries to go from cover to cover 2 years past my diagnosis.
5) Name one main goal that you want to achieve in the next year. - New wills, living wills, advance directives completed and signed. We ain't getting any younger!
Funny/weird question: What would be your current protagonist's go-to song in karaoke? If you're not working on a book at the moment, name a song for your favourite book character. - Eleanor Roosevelt would sing "I Won't Back Down" (and she didn't).
:-)
ReplyDeletethank you, TDM!
DeleteCongrats, your royalness! It seems winning comes with a lot of work.
ReplyDelete(curtsy) ain't THAT the truth!
DeleteYou're getting credit where credit is due, W.Q. Well done - and we all know that you'll keep the right royal standard up.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Anne Marie, but hey, aren't you supposed to answer TONI's list of 6 questions too? I ask because I just spent yesterday answering them myself! My post won't be up until the last week of July though.
ReplyDeleteThat's right! You forgot to answer my questions! Geez! I thought Debra was the rule breaker!
Deletecheese louise! I LIKE breaking all the rules! see the new UPDATE post, both of you!
DeleteGood show! Thumbs up!
ReplyDeletethank you! :)
DeleteCongratulations! A more deserving blogger there is not, especially one from Philly!
ReplyDeleteYO, DAMN STR8 (or gay)!
DeleteCongrats! Now I'm stumped. I think if I nominate 5 people there will certainly be overlap.
ReplyDeleteyou can do it!
Delete1. What deceased person would you like to meet and why? JFK. We could use his expertise on how to deal with the Russians.
ReplyDelete2. Truth or Dare? Dare
3. What is your creative talent? It's a tossup between drawing and trolling.
4. Clothing - necessary or useless? Necessary when you're out and about.
5. What is the first name of your BFF? Kent
cool!
DeleteAnd I forgot the weird/funny question -- I'll go with Nasty Girls by Holychild. It's a catchy tune I hear all the time while playing The Sims 4.
ReplyDeletemiss jackson if you're nasty!
DeleteI, too, got the nod, so I best get busy!
ReplyDeleteyasss; put carlos down and get to work! ;-)
DeleteOh nice!....at least you didn't get two big boobie prizes!

DeleteCongratulations! RJJS
ReplyDeletethank you, dear! :)
DeleteAll those rules for an award! I'm giving you an award for the 'Biggest Jahoobies in Blogland' and you don't need to do a damn thing!
ReplyDeleteWOO to the HOO! you KNOW it, noble ape! :)
DeleteThat sounds like a lot of trouble Anne-Marie. And what is a BFF? Is it a new model of mobility scooter - like a the recently launched CVA?
ReplyDeletewhy hello YP! a BFF is a "best friend forever". smooches from across the pond! :)
DeleteI'll be right on this after I recover from Comic-Con. Thank you.
ReplyDeletecool; can't wait to read your answers!
DeleteLove that you went back and answered questions.
ReplyDeleteI will forever envision you, Eleanor and Gilda, arm in arm, marching down Philadelphia's main streets wearing knit sweating emblazoned with the words "FUCKING RESIST"!
Thanks for playing.
smooch!
