A HEAP OF MEMES1. Spell your name as it sounds.
Fee-oh-nah

For?

Puce

THE CANS:

1. Can you blow a bubble?
In water - yes. With bubble gum - nope.

2. Can you touch your toes?
If I cross my legs or bend my knees. Touching one's toes whilst standing is bad for one's back. (That is my theory and I'm sticking to it.)

3. Can you whistle?
I can make noise. Whether it can actually be classified as a whistle or not.....

4. Can you wiggle your ears?
No but my Pop could. It was his coolest attribute.

WTF?

THE DIDS:

1. Did you ever want to be a doctor?
No.

Yes, in 1975.

3. Did you ever want to be a fire fighter?
Not only wanted to. Was. For 15 years.

THE DO’S:

No. I don't DISbelieve, I just don't know.

I am Australian, therefore I swim.

Own - yes. Use - no.

5. Does your car get good gas mileage?
I drive a Getz. They run on the smell of the proverbial oily rag.

6. Does your family have family picnics?
Not any more. We used to regularly meet my parents halfway between our houses and picnic when the kids were small. We also used to meet the in-laws in a park because our kids were way too boisterous for home visits!

7. Does your home have a bookcase?
Nine. All overflowing.

THE HAVES:

1. Have you ever been to Canada?
Yes. Love it. If I had to live somewhere other than here, Canada would be my second choice (after NZ).

2. Have you ever gone fishing?
Reluctantly, yes. I even caught a fish. It was gross. Now, crabbing, on the other hand......mmmmm crabs

3. Have you ever seen a celebrity?
I shared a lift with David Duchovny once, passed Mohammed Al Fayed in a foyer, had my back signed by Russell Morris and Johnny (when he still was Johnny) Farnham, had breakfast at the table between Tony Greig and Ian Healey, threw Johnny Young out of a hospital ward, stood next to Kim Beazley Jr at the airport carousel, spilt water on Angry Anderson and sung for the queen.

4. Have you ever been on a motorcycle?
I went out with a bikie a few times in my misspent youth, my best friend owned a PeeWee 50 when I was a kid and my SIL owns a Harley so, yeah, I've been on the odd bike.

THE HOWS:

1. How much money do you have on you right now?
On me? None. In my purse? A couple of hundred.

2. How many cars have you owned?
Me personally? Legally - one. It was my son's Monaro and it was cheaper (way way cheaper) to insure if it was owned by his mum than the 19yo youth he was at that stage. All our family cars have been registered in my husband's name.

3. How many jobs have you had?
Bloody hell, this is dredging the memory. Paid jobs - fruit picker, kindergarten assistant, nanny, student nurse, ward sister, day care, charge sister, fire-fighter, fire fighting instructor, OH&S nurse, agency nurse, farm hand, industrial trainer, soccer team strapper, assessment manual writer, army officer, cadet instructor, grief counsellor. I think that's all. Unpaid jobs - P&C secretary, committee treasurer, committee secretary, fire-fighter, wife, mother (cook, cleaner, chauffeur, counsellor, teacher, wet nurse, nanny, clown etc etc etc), kindergarten president, tour guide, . That'll do.
