Although it’s a bit of fun some may not like the associations or the links might not work, and if either of those is the case I’ll happilmake changes. Email: contact (at) teachmychildrenwell (dot) com
Mom/Mum, I know I owe you a more recent tag – and just so you know, I’ll be replying to that in July!!
Thanks Mom/Mum
Thanks All – I hope you enjoyed this old nonsense.

This was funny. Thanks for the link.
I can’t remember for sure, but I think at the age of 7 I wanted to be a teacher.
Now that’s jaunty!
You’ve never seen Fight Club? Dude, you’ve got work to do.

I just played a game called, “Guess which one is Writer Dad.” I got it on the second try.

ROTFLMAO!!!
I got Dave on the first try.

Professional football player? I would never have looked for my link there. (Thanks for the link!
The closest I ever came to anything like that was a drunk game of soccer on the British submarine base at Faslane, Scotland in the 1970s.

Brokeback Mountain.
Soldier.
Ha, frakkin’ ha.
I would say that I’m surprised that you think of me in such macho and homoerotic ways, but given the subtle innuendo you’ve been leaving me on my voice mails, well, I’m not.
And melons? LOL, Tara is going to kill you with your own tool!
Very clever thank you for the connection here…
I enjoyed this post very much – was so happy I was not the hands down the pants!
hands down I was happy…
hehehehe

I was going to wait unitl June to reply to this post, but I thought that is just petty and shallow and not how bloggers should behave . . .
And what’s wrong with ‘melons’? I’m eating more and more of them now I’m trying to get healthy.
Tara@Sticky Fingers´s last blog post..Let’s hear it for the dads!
No, you’re going to have to explain Reservoir Dogs, Dave. Can’t I be a mango instead?
Tim´s last blog post..Oh, Blog!
Dave, what a great idea. There are lots of blogs here I look forward to discovering. Thanks for the the link, and the post is great.
Hello all, I’ll be back later, but I just wanted to reiterate that most of the words associated with your blogs were totally random. I wrote the post first then thought it would be a good idea to jam your URL in there. So most have no meaning at all. If I’d been really clever I’d have thought of a relevant link for each of you. I also thought it might be fun to see if any of your search traffic comes from obscure terms.
BBL
Where have my melons gone?
Now I’m bananas! Oh cheers – what are you trying to do to me DF?
Tara@Sticky Fingers´s last blog post..Let’s hear it for the dads!
I had no idea that ‘athletes food’ could be such a creative word. Very NICE!

Eric Hamm´s last blog post..How To Recover From A Productivity Meltdown
Totally random, my eye. All well and good to reiterate that there is no meaning, but I got “ways to annoy me”! Couldn’t you have given that one to Jenny? She’s tough, she can totally take it.
And I have underfloor heating and it’s wonderful. Could’ve given me that one.

I HAVE seen all 7 of those movies and they are all solid pics. If I had to pick one for you to see first, it would be The Godfather. It IS required “man” viewing. Brokeback Mountain probably not. That’s a different kind “man” viewing.

Hey Dave,
So…I dreamed of being a cowboy when I was seven…weird…do you have some sort of special powers?

GreenJello´s last blog post..Lu’s Room
It’s a disgrace you haven’t seen Lock, Stock, just an awesome film mate, get it out on betamax video or whatever it is your running these days.
@ Blogger Dad – Don’t ever be surprised that Dave goes all homoerotic, it’s what he does best.

(smiling) This is fun, Dave! I’m having a great time guessing and clicking…
Julie´s last blog post..Tag, This is Who I Am
Dave,
My honey was so excited to find her link on your post – it was the best pain relief I have every seen…thank you for the fun post and for the delight at our end.
Tom´s last blog post..Zero–Impact Homes
Ah, you lovely people. Thank for your comments. I haven’t forgotten about you and I aim to pop back in tomorrow to chat with you. Thanks again and have a good (what’s left) of your day.
I thought every man had seen Fight Club and thought it was one of the best movies ever.
I don’t remember what I wanted to be when I was 7. I think I wanted to be my Mom because I thought she was awesome.
Oh man … when I first read this I thought they were actual feeds – well, they are actual feeds but now I really get the humor. Very clever Dave
Hmm … eternity ring. I’ll probably start wondering what that means and then give up and figure there is no hidden meaning. Unless…you are even more clever than I already thought you were …

“Fight Club!” Lol! And here I am beating up little ol ladies in drugstores. This was a really cool concept for a meme!
CK Lunchbox´s last blog post..Ninja At A Drug Store
Your blog crashed my Firefox 5 times last night! But it loaded fine for me this morning:)
And I won’t even mention the fact that I’m number SIX on the list of fruits you’d like to eat. Not mentioning it. At all.
I’ll spend the rest of the day clicking through the links! Great way to discover new reads. Thanks!
…and I’m sorry to say that I got all kinds of weird errors (in addition to the good ol’ 500 and 401) when I tried to submit my comment just now!
Adrenalynn´s last blog post..Revenge of the nerds
What a creative way to share your feedburner list! I enjoyed reading your list and clicking on some new blogs.
Stacey / Create a Balance´s last blog post..Let’s Collaborate!
Ah, films you haven’t seen eh? The Godfather should be on your list of films ‘you will watch asap’…it is a masterpiece, and yes it’s definitely a mans film (but I love it too). Brokeback Mountain is a beautiful film, and I actually enjoyed it better the second time I watched it. Please, give it a go. I won’t tell anyone. I wouldn’t recommend Lock Stock, Fight Club is worth watching (another man’s film I think) and Taxi Driver is a must see if only to hear De Niro deliver the classic lines “You lookin’ at me, you lookin’ at me….” Now get yerself down to Blockbusters and watch the them. Now. Consider yourself admonished young man.

It is very refreshing to see this twist to a “tagged” post.
If you think your vehicle for value maximization is your laptop, then I wish you more and more power!
And thank you for the link!

Aha – at last he does it! Anyone would think you had children to care for a a fitness plan to keep you from finding the time to do ’sevens’.
Really enjoyed this post and all the links. cannot beeeleive some of the films you haven’t seen. i agree with NsuperM – get theeself down Blockbusters smart, especially for Brokeback and Taxi Driver.
Mom/Mum´s last blog post..The Pain of Motherhood
LOL, you are too funny.
And count your blessings that you’ve never seen Reservoir Dogs. It must be a guy thing, cause that movie scarred me in a way that is unrepairable.
Thanks for the link.
