Hi!  I apologize for my unoriginality and my plagiarism, but this is such a cool idea to circulate throughout grab.  I decided I would grab the ball and run with it! 

The topic is "7 things", with the subtopics being to do before I die, That I cannot do, that attract me to my mate, that I say most often, a book or series I love, movies I watch over & over, and finally the 7 grab members I'm going to "tag" to do this also.  Here we go:

1.     7 things I would like to do before I die:  adopt a kid or two; build my dream house; find my birth siblings; publish a book; get another degree; and do a little travelling.

2.     7 things I cannot do:  scuba dive; drive a manual transmission; pilot a plane; sing; snow ski; handle meanness; or write HTML code.

3.     7 things that attracted me to my mate:  his smile; his laugh; his sexy chest; his smarts; his sexuality; his emotional ways (crying at movies, playing with babies, etc); and the way he elevates my spirit and self-esteem.

4.     7 things I say most often:   bite me; let's rock; no way Jose; get outta town; know what I mean jelly bean; what goes around comes around; and "Mommy's" home (whenever I walk in the front door talking to my dog!)

3.     Favorite Joke of the week:

A lady lost her handbag in the bustle of Christmas shopping. It was found by an honest little boy and returned to her. Looking in her purse, she commented, "Hmmm.... That's funny. When I lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills."

The boy quickly replied, "That's right, lady. The last time I found a lady's purse, she didn't have any change for a reward."

5.     Favorite Story of the week:

"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there"
There was a kindly nobleman whose wife had died of an illness leaving the nobleman and his three daughters in despair. After losing all his money in useless and bad inventions the family had to move into a peasant's cottage, where the daughters did their own cooking, sewing and cleaning. 

When it came time for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed as his daughters could not marry without dowries, money and property given to the new husband's family. 

One night after the daughters had washed out their clothing they hung their stockings over the fireplace to dry. That night Saint Nicholas, knowing the despair of the father, stopped by the nobleman's house. Looking in the window Saint Nicholas saw that the family had gone to bed. He also noticed the daughters stockings. Inspiration struck Saint Nicholas and he took three small bags of gold from his pouch and threw them one by one down the chimney and they landed in the stockings. 

The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life. 

Children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France the children place their shoes by the fireplace, a tradition dating back to when children wore wooden peasant shoes. 

In Holland the children fill their shoes with hay and a carrot for the horse of Sintirklass. In Hungary children shine their shoes before putting them near the door or a window sill. 

Italian children leave their shoes out the night before Epiphany, January 5, for La Befana the good witch. And in Puerto Rico children put greens and flowers in small boxes and place them under their beds for the camels of the Three Kings.

6.     Favorite TV show of the week:

Deal or No Deal gives anyone the chance to win up to a quarter of a million pounds. Twenty-two people share the experience. They return daily, waiting for their chance to win a fortune. Only one of them plays each day and once a person has played, a new contestant replaces them in the following show. Everyone gets one chance to win their fortune. They stay until they play.

8.     Favorite Trivia of the week:

Poinsettia - Early Mexican Christians called it the “Flower of Holy Night” and legend has it that a small boy was upset on Christmas eve because he had nothing to offer the Christ Child on His birthday. While the boy was praying at his village church altar, a flower sprang up with its brilliant red and green.
The plant was named after the American ambassador to Mexico, J. R. Poinsett, who found out they grew well in the U.S. after sending some to his home in S. Carolina.
Poinsettias have long been considered poisonous to humans, but according to the POISINDEX information service, a 50 lb child would have to eat around 500-600 leaves. The AMA handbook just lists occasional vomiting as side effects of ingestion of leaves.

After the fiasco from our salute to The Year Of The Cock a few years back, I'm happy to have a less offensive tribute to the 50 Coolest Monkeys this time around.  Those Chinese folks sure have it easy with their horoscopes, with everyone sharing the same sign for a whole year.  Anyway, what better way to honor this great year than by giving tribute to the best simians, apes, gorillas and what not (for you zoologist types that feel the need to correct me), in pop culture history?  Enjoy, before The Daily Star reprints this as a poll they read in MONKEY MONTHLY.
