There are quite a few among my links whose answers I would be interested in seeing, but don't care for assigning chores to unwilling friends so I shant tag anyone, in hopes it will be picked up voluntarily.

I think I might.....maybe.
oh G&G ... this meme is .... well it is just great, really great.
i love 'seeing' all the different facets of you .....
comment on SHOPPING: I often compulsively shop whilst manic, but a store of this vastness, variety and colour would overwhelm even the manic in me. Fortunately I have learned to save the receipts, do not cut off any tags, nor use the item - when I 'come down' - I always return ..... postage is such a small price to pay, all things considered.

Sure, let's exchange links. What variations do you play on your flute? I am an urban flute player myself. Have you see the Galway teaching videos on youTube?
You did, Minx, you did. I like that your variation retained both books and life changing experiences to make it eight varieties of eight categories, sixty-four symbols of the iching, yin/yang duality. I exchanged books for life changes because I had not read eight books worth mentioning to anyone.
Thanks, Red, I'm all yours.
Princess Haiku,
Bamboo with six holes
Polished, bright yin-yang symbol
Husky as my breathing
Never a lesson
Or my wonder might lessen
Muse jumps through no hoops
I noodle the flute
In and out tunes that I toot
Never heard again
Never a lesson
Or my wonder might lessen
Muse jumps through no hoops
This is just lovely.
I came back to read your post again. I admire your self-revelations that reflect a lot of insight and thought. My flute teacher is special; the lessons are all about "breath."
There. I KNEW you were enchanting ...
Might you share more details of the 'killer guacamole'?
Erica, when you are impressed, I am.
Debi, takes one to find one.
Melissa, no particular quantity, more according to the nose, taste. Just add some arugula to your own recipe until it is just short of too much.
