When you’re tagged, post these rules and 8RF about yourself.
Tag 8 other people.
My 8 Random Facts:
- I have lived 8 time zones to the east of home (Syria) and 8 time zones to the west of home (Japan). Like those 8s.
- I proposed to Roger. At a Bronco game. On the DiamondVision scoreboard.
- I have never had a PBJ sandwich.
- I played the piccolo in high school.
- I would go to great lengths for a really good mojito.
- I was told by a ski instructor my first time out that I had “rubber knees.” The nickname stuck (the comment was overheard by a member of the church group) and it took me two decades to get back on skis.
- When I was a Brownie, I won a baking contest for a recipe called, “Rickety Uncle.”
- I can usually guess the time within about 5 minutes.
So, if you’re reading and you haven’t already blogged 8 Random Facts, consider yourself tagged. Comment here when you post your own.

Nicknames are horrible to get rid of! My dad still calls me “bugger”.
I was going to be all incredulous about the PBJ thing, but now I get it. I figured you were probably allergic, anyway.>>I’m so impressed by your world travels. I’d like to live outside of my STATE at some time in my life.>>If only I had shortening, I could go make some Rickety Uncles right now.
You really have never had a PBJ sandwich? WOW it is one of my faves. If you ever try it, grill it like a grilled cheese. THE BEST EVER!!!!>>You should post your winner recipe. 🙂 What does it make?
Deathly allergic.>>I might grill one up for the kids, though. Sounds, ummmm, interesting.>>Rickety Uncles (I found out it’s plural) is a dessert. I googled and found this (no nuts!):>>RICKETY UNCLES>>3/4 cup shortening>1 cup brown sugar>1 cup rolled oats>1 cup of flour>1 tsp. salt>1 tsp. vanilla>>Blend well so that the mixture is crumbly not dry.. like pastry.>Press into pans or a cookie sheet with fork>>Cook at 325° for approx. 10 min. watch edges carefully for burning>Cut into squares before it cools.>>Checking out your meme now…
