I found this Meme with a Difference at The Tart Who Travels, who found it at The Lavender Loft.

Finish the sentence - keep the bit in bold and add on your ending.

1. My uncle once gave me:  a doll from Vietnam (he was conscripted for the Vietnam War), which I was instructed was just for display, so not to be undressed, but later I couldn't resist the temptation, only to find that I couldn't redress her with the pins used.

2. Never in my life have I smoked a cigarette.

3. When I was five I could read.  Somehow I taught myself to read our Bible storybooks.

4. High school was long, tedious, boring, largely a waste of time.

5. I will never forget ... I was trying to think of something positive to say here, coming up with no ideas, so I asked my teenage son for ideas & he said "that you're a woman", then I told him about the time I was so deeply asleep at the farm, that ....you know the times when you're so fast asleep that at first when you wake up you don't know where you are?  Well, this time, I was so deeply asleep that not only did I not know where I was, I didn't know who I was, whether I was a man or a woman.....I didn't even know if I was human! 

My son replied "You're &^%$ing retarded!"

6. Once I had breakfast cooked for me by a real live princess!

7. There’s this boy I know who is tall, handsome, cool, fit, muscly, and great at electric guitar.

8. Once, at a bar, I shared a Tequila Grasshopper (made with creme de menthe).

9. By noon tomorrow I will  hopefully have made a start on my next painting.

10. Last night I woke to hear our dog barking & had to put him in the shed, and give him food & water - at 15 minutes past midnight!

11. If only I already had a degree, a profession.

12. Next time I go to church I hope I can get through the experience without disagreeing with the sermon.

13. What worries me most is the fear of living in poverty.

14. When I turn my head left I see paintings by my son & I.

15. When I turn my head right I see paintings by my daughter.

16. You know I’m lying when .... I was going to say that I don't lie, which is true, except I accidentally did on the 'phone with my Dad the other day, when he checked to make sure that I still don't have a boyfriend (he doesn't want me to risk losing my assets).  I quickly replied something like "no man is knocking on my door or ringing me up", because I was thinking of locally, & then of course I couldn't clarify the latter without giving the game away, & besides, Dad was talking.  I defini tely disagree with the American version of lying, ie "lying by omission".  I have the option to choose whether or not to share my secrets, thank-you very much!

17. What I miss most about the Eighties my youth, health, and beauty!

18. If I were a character in that horrid Amelie movie, I'd be Amelie, apparently, (erk) because I'm INFJ.

19. By this time next month I'll be slimmer & fitter, thanks to my new jogging habit.

20. A better name for me would be Bianca Jade Beaufort.

21. I have a hard time being consistent.

22. If I ever go back to school, and graduate in something which I consider worthwhile, I will be so proud of myself.

23. You know I like you if I invite you over to my home.

24. If I ever won an award, the first person I would thank would be my teacher or mentor.

25. Take my advice:  save, into an account which you have sole control over, enough to live off for over a year, just in case.
