The following people have been brave enough to share aspects of their lives: (in the order I have read them) Margaret in Germany, Xquizzyt1, Brutha Coded, Guess, Ms K, Mshairi, Bubudiu(?) and Nick.
I really enjoyed their lists. I have debated whether to do one. What will I say. What if I say nothing at all? What if I offend someone? Embrass someone? Bore someone? I won’t know if I don’t try and no matter what I shall make sure I have fun doing the list. So…
==============================

57. Love each and every
58. Last one
59. But this list is about ME
60. End of family stuff
61. By the way
62. Look at the first letter of
63. Every line

Lots of melodrama here (in a nice way, of course:-) So we get on your nerves, do we? Who is blogger crush? Tell me and I’ll tell you mine – it’s the one you think:-)I got the hidden message. Same to you. Any prizes going?
Mama JunkYard Says: You and this melodrama. People just don’t do things for free anymore eh? Ati prizes! As for getting on my nerves…LOL actually you guys rarely do but it had fit in with what I was trying to spell. The blogger crush can not be revealed here, I may offend him. As for yours…hahahaha….does he own a plane?

Life Moments says
I wish I had a 100 comments but I think this one is just enough.
Ps: Don’t you think there’s a postive side to you being adopted, just try to think about it 😉
Mama JunkYard Says: Torments, you are giving me advice on how to be positive? I am no longer upset about the whole (half) adoption thing. 99.9% of the time I don’t even think about.

Mama JunkYard Says: How can you disregard our peace treaty? You wait until I have disarmed my troops and then you attack? Gunia wewe. The war is back on. Sod Easter wishes. Oh and again I had to remove the yahoo smilie code. Some of the symbols conflict with HTML.

Memoire says
Wow I love this, love the hidden message also. I never liked balloons either and I also kumbuka the saba saba melodrama mpaka schools were closed for a week. Great list MJ
Mama JunkYard Says I am so happy someone else does not like balloons. That Saba Saba stuff was mad but schools being closed was so much fun.

How do you “find out” that you have a crush on someone? 😉
Mama JunkYard Says: When someone asks you “do you have a crush on me?” and you realise your first answer is giggle giggle giggle. That’s how.
