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…

Mama JunkYard Says: Thank you Charlie, I wish I had the ability to write as openly as you do.
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?
I have read thousands of 100 things about me posts on message boards and blogs and this one simply takes the cake for the best one I have ever read. Thanks for the smile!

Mama JunkYard Says: Yes..you need to have a go pia.
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.
in response to comment left on mshairi’s..till monday sunset right?
Now will that be affected by daylight saving? a lil ka-juaji bird has been informin me on this concept…so ebu tell me where and where!!!
happy easter nonetheless
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.
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.
Ga!
You found out at the embassy!!! Oh my….! Your list was the bomb!
And most important question of all..WHO DO YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON????!!! This is so juicy I am dancing in my seat.
Mama JunkYard Says: Thanks and I hope you fanya your soon. As for the crush…LMAO…my lips are sealed but you are welcome to guess away.
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. 🙂
LOL!
I loved this list.. especially enlightening were some of the predicaments you’ve been through… wow.
And you have a blog crush???? Now I’m jealous!!
Mama JunkYard Says: Ted you would have so easily been a blog crush had you not attempted to leave the blogsphere.
