Oh The Lion King... how did I miss that? The Usual Suspects was also an awesome movie... very cool! Very cute meme you had me laughing at the snoring part! I used to like Dan Brown until I realized all his books are exactly the same... he is the Danielle Steele of suspense... boooooooooring.

I can also only snap with my left hand.
Also, I enjoyed the lion king a lot too.

:-) I'm glad I had you laughing. Considering the fact that I was possibly the last jblogger home for the summer to do his/her MeMe that's quite an accomplishment. I agree with you on Dan Brown. I was disappointed with the last of his books that I read, not that it was any worse than the others, but because it followed the same pattern.

I am right handed, but can only snap with my left hand. One of those weird oddities I guess.

I am impressed you did the meme. Interesting stuff. I feel bad for your wife that you snore loudly lol. Kasamaba was tagged by me first, and a bunch of others.

swfm - thanks, but we found a way around that. I didn't say I was the first to tag kasamba, I just wanted to make sure that I tagged people that haven't already posted their MeMes, and she hasn't.

""I am right handed, but can only snap with my left hand.""

I'm the same way. Maybe there's something about that, huh?

Mr. frum Idelaist you are one interesting fella!you are very "idealist" to want to find world peace before dying. But I hear you about seeing your kids be established. That is a menucha for every parent. Now if you say you can't speak chinese that would mean you can speak many other languages. what are they? you seem like a caring and LOYAL friend and spouse. your wife is one lucky woman! Tell her to give you a BIG kiss!

I remember seeing the Usual Suspects in school (for English)nad wanting to go out and download it right away.
Learning Chinese may be hard but it's possible to learn!

Hey Thanks for the Tag!
I keep pushing it off until I have some 'time' to really think!
lol
although I'm probably taking it too seriously -
love the challenge!
it's so interesting - so many men write 'her eyes' when it comes to what attracted them to their wives.
I've always said 'eyes are the windows to the soul'
I think it must be true.
