Barrie said...: Very interesting. And I didn't realize you'd lived in Manchester.; 12:14 AM
David Cranmer said...: Yeah, I could have added The Graduate to my list. A movie I've seen at least twenty times and have never grown tired of.; 9:11 AM
Frank Loose said...: I'm with you on Double Indemnity. In fact, I watch it once a year!; 9:17 AM
George said...: Patti, you have insomnia and I have the opposite condition: sleep apnea. But, at least I have a little CPAP machine that keeps me alive. Hopefully, the Mayo Clinc will discover a cure for both of our conditions.; 11:37 AM
pattinase (abbott) said...: George-I may have that as well. It may be what makes staying asleep difficult. Also grind my teeth. A pretty image, isn't it?; 1:18 PM
Charles Gramlich said...: We're very different about movies and TV shows, but it's all good.; 1:21 PM
George said...: No, Patti, you're not alone. I wear a Night Guard when I go to sleep because I grind my teeth, too. Plus, when I'm hooked up to my CPAP with all the hoses, I look (and sound) a bit like a mutant Darth Vader. Nice image, isn't it.; 2:49 PM
Paul D Brazill said...: Oh, Manchester/so much to answer ..fer.; 5:26 PM
Peter Rozovsky said...: Nice food list. I set my summer camp's record when I ate fifty-two lamb chops at one sitting.

Why fifty-two, you may ask? Because the kitchen ran out.

pattinase (abbott) said...: Peter-You must have put that camp out of business. At my camp in the Poconos, we just ate sloppy joes most nights.; 6:21 PM
Peter Rozovsky said...: The camp did shut down a few years later. I had never thought that I might have been responsible.

I was tagged with this meme as well, if you'd care take a look. I like lamb chops to this day, though I did not include them on my list of four.

Linda McLaughlin said...: Patti, I love Bringing Up Baby and Mad Men, too. I didn't know you lived in Manchester and Amsterdam. How fascinating. A play in the West End sounds good. When do we leave? ;)

I may join in this weekend if I can figure out all the answers. The last one is probably the toughest.; 11:29 AM
Kerrie said...: This is an interesting meme isn't it. I'll come with you to Venice, and Amasterdam, and Greece. Peter Tagged me with this result - just realised some of the links I've left elsewhere had incorrect html and so won't work :-(; 8:30 PM
