Carole,

Thanks for sharing !  Those questions are great : )   Find it very cool that you are such a good poker player !

Great MeMe, Carole!  (No, don't anyone MeMe me - I have done a bunch already and don't have time). I managed to not know that you have kids. How many, how old? (We just launched our oldest to college a few days ago. I am still recovering!)

Carole~It is great knowing you and I am glad that you found your voice.  You have so much to share and I have learned so much reading about fung shei.  Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself with us.

I love to sing (I'm pretty bad too) and belt away in the confines of my car lol! I like this kind of meme...easy to read and simple ..to the point!

I love to read all those wonderful things about you.  Is it the dancing that helps you keep that slender figure?  :o)

Carole,

Beautiful meme!! Even after all of our long talks, I learned many things about you by reading this meme. The poker one is particularly interesting...I hope one day we get to be partners at pinocole! Maybe we could line a game up with a bunch of ActiveRainers?

Carole- I love getting to know you more and more through your writings and through your memes. I just got tagged for one but won't get to it til next week. I am going out of town this weekend to play with my son for his birthday:)

Very interesting reading your meme's carole........i still haven't finished my list, i thought it was going to be easier to do than it is!  I'm sorry about your brother and sister..:-(....you sound like such a lovely person...:-)

Carol- I love your MeMe ! You did a wonderful job ! I play pinnocle as well, although not as good as you. My favorite game is spades. I play in pogo.com , it helps to wind down from the day !

Carole ~ Great job!  I have a fear of speaking in public too, but I stay nervous through the whole thing and I've only spoken in front of maybe a dozen people tops; I'm sure you have much larger crowds to address, and my hat is off to you for doing that. 

Very nice Carole.  Have a great Thursday.

Carole- And to think I liked you LOL :)  OK....since you said there are absolutely no excuses, and no way out.....I did my meme Meme...Fill in the Blank Style, or Did you pass the MMPI.  I loved yours so much you helped make mine easier.....yep....I embraced the new Re-Blogging :)  Thank God we think alike in some things.......

Christopher, You're next, you were tagged!  It will be interesting to read YOURS :)

Mary, Believe me, it crossed my mind--I thought you would shoot me so I chose other victims :)

Joan, You and so many others have been so supportive of me, I always appreciate it so much!

Sally, When I do finally meet you (and I WILL), I will have you singing anywhere.  It's contagious (and besides, I'm sure I sound worse then you!).

Cristal, I love to dance but I've always been on the thin side anyway.  And I'd hate to give up dancing to find out.....

Goodness, Jo, I had no idea you played pinochole!  And what a fun thought that is, the first official AR Pinochole event!

Katerina, Good for you, I value my playtime as well.  Wish your son a very happy birthday!

Liz, I don't talk about it much because I can't....and I will be very interested to read your meme, they do bring out things in us that our writings don't always.

Melissa, Now we have THREE pinochole players.  One more and we've got a game!!

Kathy, After my first 5 minutes I am fine, it just sort of flows and I surprise myself.  It's still getting started that is so difficult for me---seeing all those people can be unnerving.

Paddy, Thank you, you too...we have a gorgeous day here and I'm in and out.

Kathy, I am off to read your meme and sorry to tag you but you are so interesting!   You've had quite a life already with much more to go!

Hi Carole,
You positive spirit comes through in all your answers.  Play days are very important to me too.

Carole, I love that you have no regrets.  I want to get to that place someday.  I have a new insight into you and I like it!!

Carole, you did a great MeMe, and you are such the wonderful person. We share that no regrets philosophy. I like that you are similar to me as well in wanting enriching experiences in life. With your Active Rain bunch and all you share with us you are doing just fine.

Carol, I just finished a meme of my own and it was a bit intimidating but I just let er rip.  I really like yours it is succinct ando pen and remind me never to play poker with you! Thanks

Russell

You sound like someone I would love to sit and have a cup of coffee with.  Great MeMe!

Hi Carole!  I'm just catching up on some of your 'old' posts (!!)...if a person were to read this who didn't already know what a kind and interesting 'spirit' you are, they would totally want to get to know you better!  Lucky for me, I live close enough to you so that I can!

Val

Carole - great positive responses and very nicely written, thanks for sharing, I think fear and being scared are really two different things, or, at least they can be.

Carole:  I can see why you were tagged again because you are so very interesting.  I am glad you were tagged because I do enjoy learning more about you.

Cynthia, I wonder this year if I've taken enough play days!  And if I have to wonder, it means I haven't--yet!

Audrey, I always think that in spite of some poor decisions, I wouldn't have what I have without those choices--so I wouldn't change a thing.

Gary, I absolutely believe from reading you that we share similar values and thoughts.  I don't regret a thing or I wouldn't be what I am or have what I have!

Russell, I'll have to go check out your MeMe but I'm sure you did just fine!  They are difficult to write (and they're all around these days :)

Melody, I believe that would be one LONG cup of coffee...it would probably turn into dinner we'd have so much to say!  Anytime you're in New York, Please look me up!

Val, It is SO nice to see you back.  I know I can be pushy but we are ALL glad to have you back on AR.....Now whens that trip to Chinatown?

Mike, Maybe they are different things.  I try to stay away from fears because I don't want them to become my realities.

Donna, I find it so interesting too that no matter how many MeMes I read, I learn more and more about another person, always things I didn't know!

WOW this is the first time I see this type of Meme ! I know you a lot more now. no wonder I love your vibe everyttime we speak! Thank you for sharing all this

Carole - Thanks for sharing the MEME alway allow us to learn more about each other.

Is the renovation completed on your hiouse?  I hope so.  Have a great weekend

Carole - those answers are just what I would expect from you.  It depicts your 'energy' just as your blogs do.

Well done, nice to get to know you.

Fernando, Your turn is coming, just you wait :)  Your wonderful energy always shines through as well and thank you for the nice compliement.

Jennifer, Thank you for asking!  No, it's going to be another 3-4 weeks and I went SO much over budget I hate to say.  But it's looking lovely and not at ALL like my home.

Carol, You are very sensitive to energy.  Sometimes I love being that way....and sometimes I wish I weren't!

Georgina, Thank you, I look forward to reading your MeMe and getting to know you better as well.

 Hi Carole, no such thing as too honest, that says a lot about you! I should add to my meme "I lose my car keys and then realzie they're in my pocket". Yes I have dumb blonde moments! Have a great week and say "hi" to Oits for me. ;-)
