Invisible Airwaves Crackle With Life

We're having a thunderstorm in the Big Woods, and even though I dearly love to have a roll in the hay while it rains we've done that and he's asleep, so I guess it's time to do Woe's meme:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

So, here goes:
1. Woe tagged me.
2. See above.
3. Here goes:
A. I have become a secret squirrel. I have stashed away cigarettes, pills, various kinds of dope and even an epinephrine pen and antibiotics 'just in case.' I never used to do this.
B. I get this weird little charge out of wearing HB's underwear. He wears colored boxer briefs, very stylish, whereas I haven't bought new tighty whities in a few years. Every once in a while I'll think about the fact that I'm wearing his underwear and smile. Like I said, weird.
C. I have downloaded three hundred and twenty three music videos, five hundred and eighteen movies and I've lost count of how many TV series episodes (Family Guy, Simpsons, Sopranos, Entourage, Weeds) I've got now. I haven't watched a tenth of them, but I have them.
D. I write a note and slip it in HB's lunch every day when he goes to school. I did the same thing with my kids... but I didn't write things like that in their notes, that's for sure.
E. I shop for all of Amber's clothes. I know her up-to-the-minute size, I know what colors work for her and which ones don't, and I read style blogs. All of her friends comment on how well she dresses, and she always says, 'well, I inherited good taste, you know.'
4. I will tag some people, but it's up to them: Dave, Spo (who is probably tired of memes), Lem (I can count on you), Kazari (I know you're going on vacation, have fun), Rob (who chats online with my son, evidently), and Cameron, whom I absolve of participation if it doesn't seem like fun.
Yes, I still expect everybody else - well, okay, not Kazari... and Dave never does... Oh, hell. Do what you want.
5. Watch for my comments, guys.

b. ? [smiles an evil grin]
d. I heard HB has been collecting them and intends on publishing them. Curious minds want to know. :-D

Lem,
You are entirely correct, I still owe one. Here goes: I don't know if it's the medication or what, but I itch unbearably on my calves, the inside crook of my elbows and the sides of my hands along my little fingers. When nobody's looking, I often scratch these spots like a fiend, to the point where I have actually bled a little in some spots.

Wish I'd left that one out, huh?
Cheers
Bigg

Biggo:

Now you are really in the dog-house. You'll roll over and meme for Woe, but not for your ol' pal the troll?

Ah, well. Truth will out...
