Tuesday Telling

Time for some Tuesday Telling...but this time it will be my MOM'S turn! Our furiend Huffle and her mum
and our furiend Stella and her mom both tagged 'us'. Stella tagged us furst AND then Huffle's mum tagged my mom soooo I've delegated that SHE khover the 40 things:

1) I was born August 26, 1959
2) In Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital in suburban Philadelphia – the official city limit is within sight of the hospital.
3) I'm the oldest of four
4 ) I've always lived in PA
5) I've lived in York since 1972
6) I have two brothers: one lives in China, the other 'here'
7) I have one sister in Phoenix
8) All of us were born on Wednesday
9) We were born increasingly later in the day (I was just after 1am and Paul the youngest just before 11pm)
10) I was married...and now I'm not
11) My paternal grandparents came here from Europe in the early 1900's
12) My parents are each the youngest of three
13) My favourite colour is purple with green a close second

28) Khyra is my seventh Sibe but the first one that is mine mine mine
29) Growing up, I used to get very upset when it was time to go to the dentist.
30) Due to that, I wanted to be a dentist so I could be a dentist people wouldn't hate
31) I wanted to do the five year Physician's Assistant programme for a while since I didn't see myself devoting all the years required to become a physician.
32) I have very varied musical taste but I don't really care for rap nor do I 'get' opera

38) Michael Jack Schmidt Philadelphia Phillies Third Baseman!
39) I like to sing and do about half okay
40) I believe very strongly that things happen for reasons. If ever I did get a tattoo, that would be part of it in some way!

Gee, do I have to stop already?

It appears that many of 'us' have done this one already BUT if you really want to, go ahead! It can be fun it can be fun it can be fun!

Boy, that is pretty good info on your mom. I doubt mine could come up with 10 things let alone 40.

Stella said...

Its furry nice to get to know you better! I would like to know if you worked in England or just went as a visitor? Are we allowed to ask 40 questions of you?
Haw!

Kisses,
Stella

Kelli said...

Hi Khyra!
It was nice to learn more about your mom! It was too hard for me to think of 40 things about one person or animal, so I split them up!

Huskee and Hershey said...

Hi Khyra,
Thanks for sharing the information on your mom. We are so impressed that you came up with FORTY things.. Our mom is quite boring, so it'd be difficult for us to even come up with 5.

D.K. Wall said...

Great job with the list. And keep guarding that snow Khyra.

Aki and Poopie said...

Oh poor Khyra, hope your snow comes soon sweetie! Ours didn't last long, it's now raining! Wow, that was a very colourful list your Mom did, it's so interesting reading all about the humans, aren't they a fascinating race to study?! But we thought the tag was to include a recent picture....where is that, hmmm?? Is your Momma shy? Our Mum likes cheesecake too but she never share it, hmph, give us a taste Mum!

Marvin -The Hollow Hound said...

wow, we liked your information, we feel we know more about you now!

My Jeannie says she agrees with No. 16 entirely, and hopes you have some large glasses!

(not eye glasses that is, drinking glasses, although I guess eye glasses would make the drinks look larger too!)

We wondered why Worksop, in England, we have never been there, it is a funny name!

Oh and yes, you can have your snow back now, it is turning slushy and icy and my paws are cold.

thank woo for an entertaining and informative post.

And mum owned an Alfa before too! She is sighing about how cool it was.

Hi Kyhra, we sure got to know a lot more about your mom, Funny how it is, the more you know, the more you want to know, we will have to do a question and answer session with everyone's Moms, like do you have any human brother or sisters? Where do you work now, we want to know!

Rudy said...

Wow you could write a book on all those forty things. That's interesting your Mom and sibs were all born on the same day of the week. My Mom was born late in the year and her sibs and most everyone else in the family were born early in the year... February is a busy birthday month!

Love,
Rudy
(born a week later than my Mom!)

Dave said he'll be happy to eat your share of melons. Especially watermelon!
I've never been to London, but I know a great poem that goes, "I see London, I see France, I see..." OW! I have to go. Stormy wants me.

PS: Zim said to tell you (re: 14 & 15) "I like coffee, I like tea, I like the java jive and it likes me." Or something like that! :)

Fenway said...

Your mom sound like a lovely, lovely lady. Mine can't carry a tune like yours, 'cept Ms. Alpha insists on singing to me along with her iPod.

Khan you believe we have even more snow today?

Tama-Chan, Benny, Vidock, Violette, Ollie, Heloise, Momo, Ryu said...

That was fun! Thanks!

And a HUGE thanks to Khyra for voting for a "khat" in the Best Fur Sibling contest! Sen-Chan adored all dogs and we're sure that even Khyra would have fallen under his redhead charm!

Your Pals,
Tom and Tama-Chan

The Furry Kids said...

Dear Khyra's Mom, those are neat things about you. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Dear Khyra, my tummy is feeling better. I am enjoying the boiled chicken and rice that is supposed to help my tummy chillax. It is delicious. Our snow was up over my knees on Friday, but it melted a little. I sure wish you would get some to play in. It is super fun.

Your pal,
Titus

PS - What's SMS?

Deetz said...

Gus, Louie and Callie said...

Now we know all about you. No secrets left. Dad was born in 59 and mom in 58. He will be 50 next week. Mom thinks it is funny that she is a whole 4 months older than him.. hehe Oh Dad has a twin sister..

Hi Khyra,
Boy it looks cold at your house! That list of 40 things about your mom was fun to read.

The Iditawalk looks like fun. Mom's class and the rest of the second grade classes at her school (7 in all) will be keeping track of the Iditarod when it starts.

Wow. You have many friends. I had a Siberian Husky named Titan. He is passed now for over 4 years. I too have been tagged. The tagging I'm involved in has only 7 things unusual about yourself that you have to post.

Jans Funny Farm said...

We weren't quite sure who was doing this tag until we reached the 5'4"and right handed part. But wait, that still might be Khyra if she's standing on her back legs. But we assume she wasn't born in a hospital. Interesting tag.
