100 things

Technically this isn't my 100th post- I've been doing this for sometime and passed the 100th mark many, many rants ago- but I threw a lot into "the Abyss" and had to start over- gave myself a clean slate, ya see? And according to my dashboard, I've actually got some 107-odd posts to my credit- some of which are "private drafts" as yet to be released to the public ;o)

But according to the count , this post is 100 in a manner of counting and so I offer the traditional 100 random items about yours truly and the life that surrounds me... I will probably stretch the numbers A LOT as I can't think of 10 things to list, much less 100
