Retro meme

-
I was tagged by Tin-Tin and I have to tag some people later. The instructions are:

1. Post 5 links to 5 of your previously written posts. The posts have to relate to the 5 keywords given below:
  • family,

  • friend,

  • yourself,

  • love,

  • anything you like.


    • 2. Tag 5 other friends to do this meme. Try to tag at least 2 new acquaintances (if not, your current blog buddies will do) so that you get to know them each a little bit better.

    3. Don’t forget to read the archived post and leave comments.

    Hmmm ... don't understand the comment part. Am I supposed to leave comments on my posts? I think I will wait for clarification from Tin-Tin.

    Who to tag? Who to tag?

    Last time I tagged people it was MOI, KayMac, breal, tin-tin, and Barbara.

    So this time I will tag: Ingrid, Carra, Tena, Cavalock, and Freckled One.

    If I didn't tag you and you want to play, please feel free to appropriate this meme.

    Happy New Year, Richard!

    I appreciate your tagging me but I'll have to decline for now. Today's post will tell you why.

    Great meme! I enjoyed going back and reading through those posts, as I had not read a couple of them!

    P.S. Nice legs in that one photo! ;-)

    carra: there is never any rush. I it took me over a week after tin-tin tagged me. Once it took me several weeks after breal had tagged me.

    cavalock: don't feel pressured. I had a hard time with those keywords too since I don't blog about family, friends, or love.

    tena: I am sure that one day, when you are scratching for a post, you'll say, "I'll can take the easy way out and follow through on the tag by Richard"

    breal: thanks! I used to walk at least 10Km each day (usually more). I thought some of those posts were interesting too. I tried to reach further back so people didn't have to re-read posts.

    thank you so much for doing this meme. you don't have to post a comment.

    i'm sure glad i tagged you. it's the first time i saw a picture of you. even if you're 29 1/2 that time. hehehe.

    and you're right.. the opposite of love is indifference. i think i've written a blog about that also before.

    again, thanks. happy new year! :)

    tin-tin: you see me every time you visit my blog or I leave a comment on yours. That avatar is me. However, if you have missed pictures of me you can find them here, here, here, here, and here.

    Thanks for the tag... I'll get right on it. Tehehe.. It might take me a little while while I work on my very slow computer on my even slower internet service.

    Happy New Year....

    freckled-one: thanks. I have been tagged a few times and sometimes it takes me several weeks before I actually do the meme. So ... don't feel pressured, just get around to it whenever you can.

    Risky Singapore?

    -
    CBC Radio had a documentary on Singapore and its lack of risk taking yesterday (only just heard it this morning). Since I know there are 1 or 2 Singaporean readers of this blog, I am curious to know how accurate the documentary is. I find that people often have mistaken impressions about other cultures and people. You can hear it here .

    Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

    -
    I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some
