Hey I like being thought of as being 'a Child of the Universe, thank you!'
I've been called many things but I've not ever been called a Child of the Universe. ~:o)
I'm stealing the jpg, btw. I'm going to use it in my post when I blame it all on you.
You have ESP....
....I knew you were going to say that :)
Diane
Hi Kim,
Hmm, you really think I am "obtuse"?
Lol!
In my dictionnairy (Merriam-Webster; I had to check, I didn't know the word; I am not a native English speaker) obtuse means:
"1. not pointed or acute : blunt - (of an angle)
2. a: lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility or intellect : insensitive, stupid
2. b: difficult to comprehend : not clear or precise in thought or expression"
Thanks Kim! I sure do hope I didn't come across as blunt, or stupid or unclear all of the time :)
btw: you wrote "...her blog". (but - yes - I am a guy :(
-Jos:)
you're welcome Netster
I have the plaque hanging in my kitchen...and it's my daily affirmation :)
Hi MA
haha blame it all on me.....
I'll be looking forward to reading it :)
ah yes Diane
I knew that you were going to say that you knew I had ESP ;)
oh dear Jos
I meant "obtuse" in the best possible way.....in referring to the title of your blog...
I will refer to this article to explain how I see the meaning of "obtuse"
THE "OBTUSE BARD"
Homer was "obtuse" in his behavior, in ways which remind me of John Ciardi's comment about poetry, "There is duplicity at work. The poet pretends to be talking about one thing, and all the while he is talking about many others."
and "obtuse" as in comparing to angle....direction....unclear.....
I'm sorry for thinking you were a "her"....thanks for clarifying that for me :)
gosh I am "obtuse" aren't I ??? :)...and this comment/reply....is certainly becoming more and more obtuse...with each word I write...
ah the power of words.....
they cannot be underestimated can they....
you wouldn't think that English is my native language after reading this would you .....
and if you can translate my waffling on ...then you are a better person than I ...
simply put.....I apologise for my unintentional irony (where a statement or situation implies both a superficial and a concealed meaning which are at odds with each other.)
I think I'll stop now before I really put my foot in it !!!
hey MA
I see you name is linking back to your profile...
mine is working through myopenid....if you have time check out 'myopenid'....
Hi Kim,
MA tagged me too..so it's me myself and I again!
You tagged me for being 'so Colin' and MA because 'Colin because he is always Colin'....I think I have a multiple personality disorder approaching....hand on ...it just overtook me LOL
Have a great day and will post this when I have a moment or three in the next few days :)
Colin
Hi Kim,
Hmmm... A ESP 8 tag?
Look into my Crystal 8 Ball and see all my 8s at my Blog.
What are the odds of being Double Tagged and Double Teamed in the same week?
I hope my post completes your Blogger assignment, too? :)
Colin mentioned himself as being 'me, myself, and I, therefore, according to my math skills, Colin has room for one more meme.
Whatcha think, Toots?
oops MA!
I meant your !
LOL Colin....me myself and eye :)
and a typo on hand ?
or am I just being ridiculously ambiguous today....
*clappies* to you for being my first Wordpress Reader to get the OPENID working.....
I have dubbed thee clever Colin!!!!
ah so you have a crystal ball Debbie....
can you tell me if I will make any more faux pas today ?
I will investigate your enigmatic post :0
I think my mind has been muddled by the OPENID saga :)
Girlfriend, look at me go!
Heck, read the instructions? Not me, that's too simple, right?
Got 'er done, Chicklet
I hadn't filled out the whole information thingy up till now. Doh!
hey MA...
break out the bubbly....hoorrrrayyyy!
she's got it ....she's got it ....
I agree what's the point of reading when you can just follow your nose and still get there in the end.....
I'm bringing the glasses over now ......
Strangely, Kim, your 10 facts all fit me to a "T", even the water drinking. And I walk on steep hills instead of the beach, but I do walk every day.
And, I have that quote by Eleanor Roosevelt taped on my little scrap paper caddy! (I even used to have it quoted on my web sites! A little bit of synchronicity for the psychic to ponder...)
How are we going to get you over your fear of airplanes, so you can go to Italy? :-)
haha Lynda
I have a feeling that I'm not going to hear the end of the Italy trip :)
steep hills.....you're a hardier gal than me.....:0
hey tootsie...
I'm with you !!!
I think Colin deserves an award for being the first wordpress blogger to crack the openid code....
what do you think???
By Golly Ollie, I think you're onto something.
Yessssss, Colin needs an award for cracking OpenID on WordPress.
Let's make it a mission to see to it that he gets an award for it, ^5!
Colin needs another award, by cracky.
haha ^5 ;)
Thanks for including me Kim! I am one of the "odd" and love to do these tags / memes. The key is to put a personal twist on them. I'll try and whip up something special for you!
You have a wonderful lists. Of course, I am partial to #6 on the "random facts". Very important :)
I am glad that I don't have a fear of phones, as mine is always in my back pocket. No bold print on that one...
Have a super day! - Speedy
hey Eric...
#6....is my calm time of the day....and you're spot on ...very important :)
very handy ...the back pocket...I don't have a mobile haha...
the computer is enough technology for me to deal with !!!
I'm looking forward to reading your meme with a twist...hehe...
you and Colin should get together and start a meme/award blog...
what a combo !!!
Speedcat,
You are so funny heheheh
actually I have ringing tone phobia LOL i normally kept my phone in silent mode :)
the ringing thingy really annoy me hahahah this only happen few months back.
cheers
Hi Kim, thanks for explaining, but "no worries"!! :)
I DID get your irony, lol! I knew you didn't mean to imply I am "blunt, insensitive or lacking preciseness in thought". Actually, I was only playing a bit with the word 'obtuse' in an equally ironic way ;P.
That's why I said "Thanks, Kim!
As for the "her/him" confusion: actually, I am kinda proud of that a woman like yourself thinks I am a woman..
The name of my blog.. well that is a real mistery :) - even to me
Thanks for the Tag
-Jos:))
Kim my dear, am I obtuse? And don't you know that I too have ESP? Or I should say am psychic. Funny we have the same conversations with the same people...
Course in my case, I'm talking to the dead and God! No wonder you tagged me. I refer to it as the sixth dimension or sixth sense my friend! Many just don't pay enough attention to their sixth sense.
And I'd say we have the same priorities!
hey Netster
I don't like the sound of a phone ringing either :)
oooh no Jos...
I never meant to imply that you were "blunt, insensitive or lacking preciseness in thought".....:)
I have a feeling you may remind me of my gaffe from time to time though :)
and maybe me thinking that you were a woman is because you are probably a S.N.A.G. (sensitive new age guy)....
oh no Ev...
I wouldn't think of you as being "obtuse" either :)
I have banned the word from my vocabulary!
I know you are psychic because I didn't even have to tell you that you were tagged.....
and my real Dad....(not the Bob Barker Dad.....).......has talked to me in my dreams......nothing like the lengthy conversations that you have wth your Dad though !!
Kim, I am so happy with your latest comment on my blog...
Thank you for recognizing that connection between those two posts. To me that proves you have the mind of an artist.. A message not necessarily written "in the same layer" - it is that kind of 'obtusity' that I am after, from time to time ;)
-Jos:)
not so sure about the s.n.a.g., though -- I'll confess to trying to be a s.g.
hey Jos...
s.g. that sounds good to me....
and it is nice when the communication doesn't get lost in the translation....
I really think blogging is invaluable when it comes to making connections (no matter how "obtuse" they may seem to be)...lol couldn't help myself...
have a great day.....
ps... this open ID is great for clicking back to blogs instead of going through the profile ....
You are one of the smartest and wittiest people out there and you really can be "out there" you made great choices as you passed on the awards...the best of luck Kim and the Merriest of Christmases..
thanks Maunie :0
and the happiest of Christmases to you and your family too :)
Nice article. So you are a psychic?
Nice.... no better way to put it... its all about believing in the end... about being ready....and being sure...
