Look what I found this morning:
Isn’t that a lovely gift from dmauldin53?
I don’t normally accept nominations for these awards but they had such nice things to say about me and asked me very politely to accept it. I was powerless to refuse. You should take a minute to read this and that and pretty much everything else at the Mauldin Family blog. It’s a whole lot of awesome.

Versatile Blogger Rules (If you choose to obey them)
- Display the Award Certificate on your website
- Announce your win with a post and link to whoever presented your award
- Present 15 awards to deserving bloggers
- Drop them a comment to tip them off after you’ve linked them in the post
- Post 7 interesting things about yourself.
…..
Will do. Should have already been done but was experiencing technical difficulties with my dashboard saving the new image widget. So, for now it is prominently displayed in this post and I’ll get it posted next to my other award as soon as my dashboard starts cooperating again.Done!- Done (that’s this post) and done (x3).
- Each of my nominations has inspired me in one way or another (from tackling various topics, to working with both words and pictures, to posting in multiple languages). They are all versatile without a doubt.

- 7 “interesting” things:
– 1. I support two football (soccer) clubs: Manchester United and LA Galaxy.
– 2. I was in fact a proffesional DJ for a few years. It wasn’t my only source of income but I did get paid to spin, so that counts, right?
– 3. I have made it to the top of Mt. Whitney twice. I was 10 years old the first time.
– 4. When I refer to “my truck” in any of my posts I’m talking about a 1996 Mazda B2300. It’s a little two door pick-up and has over 200,000 miles on it. I got it used in 1999 with only 10,500 miles on it. We’ve covered some ground together.
– 5. I learned how to dance secretly as a surprise for my then girlfriend, a dance teacher, and then worked it out so that she had to cover one of my lessons without knowing who she was about to teach. That night I proposed.
– 6. In Junior High I was on the school’s Mathletes team. We competed in several math related competitions around the state and always did very well.
– 7. I am an Eagle Scout.
That is most kind of you!
I haven’t long moved to WordPress from Blogger…..and this is a wonderful encouragement….not to speak of all the other nominated blogs to explore….
Enjoy the exploration. Lots of good ones out there!
Well, if all it needed was a little soft-soaping, I would’ve added you to the reader appreciation list.;)
Damn, if my husband see’s you’ve nominated me for this award then the games up! I try very hard at proving myself unversatile!
But I am more than honoured to accept the award, thank you so very, very much. 😀
Well, um, don’t show him. 😛 Yeah, not sure what came over me this morning… the used the word “please” and I guess in my sleepy state that’s all it took.
Well, if I have the honour of being nominated for another, you will accept the award without question. Well, you’ll have to answer ‘the’ questions, of course. 😉
Fair enough.
Oh, award acceptance is such a beautiful thing!! 😀 Congrats on your well-deserved award and thanks for passing it my way.
Thank you and you’re welcome.
My first blogging award! I’m not sure if I’m versatile, unless the vast array of subjects on which I enjoy arguing counts. Thanks!
Of course it counts! 😀 Hence, the nomination… I look forward to our future sparring matches.
Reblogged this on cftc10.
Thanks for my nomination – you’re too kind 🙂

Congratulations to you on the award 🙂 And thanks so much for nominating me, that’s really kind of you 🙂
Happy to do so!
Thank you. I will accept but as usual it may take a while 🙂
No rush! Glad you will accept and am looking forward to what you come up with!
[…] Having, most generously (some would say charitably…or even mistakenly), been inaugurated into “The Versatile Blogger” club, I feel beholden to comply with some of its requirements. It would appear I have to nominate 15 worthy blogs for a similar honour and to give 7 interesting facts about myself. Given that I don’t visit as many as 15 blogs…and that I will struggle to get past 1 interesting fact about myself (no doubt Mr.P will take great delight in confirming this unfortunate state of affairs) it looks like I may have to hand back my award before the governing body demands its return. I think it is fair to assume that there will be none of that “truth and reconciliation” nonsense should I fail to comply. An immediate withdrawal of members comments and “Likes” followed by a lifetime ban on access to stats would be the minimum sanction I would expect. This link may help explain the non-obligatory “rools”. […]
Congratulations.
Thank you!
