Stylish Blogger Award


I humbly thank Bernie from One Mixed Bag for giving me the Stylish Blogger Award. Her blog oozes talent and humor as she daily writes about life with her charming other half, Mr. Bernie. I admit I start my day with her blog because it puts a smile on my face for the entire day. (as I schlep around the house in my baggy sweats. Stylish, indeed!!)

Hummmm..... I have to list 7 things about myself.

1. I've been trying to find a blogger older than I am. So far, no dice!!!

2. When I was young I wanted to be an opera singer. I didn't make it but it doesn't stop me from belting out "La Habanera" early in the morning, sending my neighbors to the real estate ads.

3. I haven't eaten meat in 40 years. Fish.... yes. My favorite, wild caught salmon or trout.

4. My family has always thought of me as the "Health Nut." I've done natural health all my life.
Never had a pap test, a mammogram or any of those allopathic tests I don't know the names of.

5. Marilyn has been my best friend for 50 years. We try to talk on the phone every day.

6. My 2 favorite men of all time would be Edgar Cayce and Max Gerson.

7. I have all the old films of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald. If I ever get stressed with life, I drop everything and watch one of their movies. Miracle workers, they are!

My last promise I will cheat on slightly. I'm to pass this award on to 15 bloggers but how can a Pisces make choices like that? I love all who follow me so please help yourself to the Stylish Award when you visit. Thank you, Bernie, for this honor.

  1. Awesome! I tagged you on my Thursday post. It might seem like a bizarre dedication, but it was addressing people and their "purpose" in life. Some people go through life and never figure it out. Of course, even people that do figure it out, don't always "like" it. LOL. Anyway, that is the what's what behind your dedication. Normally I don't explain unless someone asks, but you are new to my "process."

  5. Congrats, Manzi!

    The mama has yet to have a pap test or mammogram and she's several years older than you. Her taking regular blood tests is more for my sanity than hers, I think.

  7. Couldn't agree more with Bernie's decision to award you! There's always something interesting, entertaining, thought provoking and downright humourous to be found when I visit.

    As for helping myself to the award? I couldn't - that would feel like cheating, as I'm learning so much from you!

    Have a great weekend!!

  9. Very well deserved award. Congrats big time. "Stylish" is how you carry off a style and you have that mastered.
    So that is how you stay so slim and agile? Gad, I wish I liked fish.

  19. How cool that you and your friend have been friends for 50 years. I love that. Nothing like having an old friend.
    Did you take classes for Opera? What happened that you didn't go through with it?

    I do think you have a lovely stylish blog. I learn something each time I read it!

  20. Dear Bernie,
    Nope. I never took singing lessons, although I had an OK soprano voice and loved opera. I had more of a pull toward dancing. I had learned Flamenco when we lived in Morocco and when I got back to Mpls a Spanish gal was teaching classical Spanish dance and flamenco so I got heavy into that. Then I found a ballroom partner who wanted to compete and I also did that for 30 years so the singing got booted from the train.

    Old friends are great but some new ones are pretty fantastic, too.
    Thanks for the kind words...


    Gerry Dear,
    That was a groovy poem. I had one but keep forgetting it... Let's see...

    One potato, 2 potato, 3 potato Four.
    It's just Gerry, I adore.
    If you look for meanings in the transition
    Go to Gerry, she's the best darn musician.

    Bless her heart. I just started telling my real age when I hit 80. Up to that point I was 65 and people believed me. Suddenly I didn't want to lie anymore and it didnt make any difference how old I was, anyway.

    Love ya...

  22. Зажим ягодиц, подобно постановление, говорит… относительный ожидании какого-то наказания со стороны. Собственно, это следствие того, сколько у нас ровно бы принято ребенка лишь сколько ходить по попе. Вот и закрепляется этакий рефлекс…С противоположный стороны, это и очень интимная зона, и в то же пора довольно унизительная (в частности, с ней связано видимоневидимо всяких ругательств), и кроме только – незащищенная (предполагать, прикрывать ее руками в случае чего считается достаточно неприличным). Так что ягодичный зажим в принципе может содержаться отражением какой-то внутренней незащищенности.
