Meme This
As a rule I don’t do memes. I don’t even like the word; and if I met Richard Dawkins on the street, I would gladly knee him in the gonads and gloat as he crumpled to the ground and writhed in agony.
But in this case I was tagged and one of the questions intrigued me, so I agreed. In retrospect I should have eaten green bottle flies. They’d have been more appetizing and less demanding.
Anyway, these are the rules:
The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about himself or herself. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
And here are the questions:
- Ten years ago I was ….
- Five things on today’s To-Do list ….
- Things I’d do if I were a billionaire ….
- Three bad habits …
- Six jobs I’ve had in my life ….
You’ll notice right off the bat these aren’t interrogatives. They don’t end in question marks. They’re also dull. Anyone who cares what is on my for-real To-Do list should get a life and a To-Do list of their own. Also, I’m so far out of the loop of the so-called “blogosphere” that, unless Sister Katherine, Dr. Fred, Cousin T or Ms. Bobbi should take up the challenge, the thread will probably die here at the Whistle & Fish. Rest in peace. Does this make me a poor blogging citizen? Probably.
That said, I liked what my carny pal did with the challenge, and I decided to bend the rules to suit my own warp. For the next few days I’ll tackle them one post at a time, beginning with ten years ago, when I was still naive. Enjoy. Or not. Your call.

I will exact revenge for this.
Perhaps I shall share your e-mail address with others insuring that you will begin receiving mail with photos of cute kittens, letters pleading that you not break the chain lest bad luck befall you, and memos from the Republican Party soliciting your help in protecting America, the flag and family values.

I thank my lucky stars that I do not have a blog nor do I blog 
That said, I am looking forward to reading Fish’s answers.
