101 Things You Didn't KNow About US!

72. When I was in college, I volunteered to be a big sister to a troubled teenage girl in a group home. She was there because her father had been committing incest with her ever since her mother had died. Poor kid. I always wondered what happened to her.

73. I can touch my nose with my tongue.

Yes, Tru.. but can you lick your elbow? LOL (Didn't someone have that as a signature around here at one time??) :)


74. I am afraid of heights!
:(

75. I love garage sales and flea markets.

76) I adore pet Rats ...................... my children had 3 (2 hooded an a fancy self-colour) when they were teens an I loved looking after them, they are very clever, love to play, easy to housetrain and very amusing :)

PS I also love Spiders an Snakes, my Daughter kept snakes, but I have never been allowed to keep a spider because she has a phobia of them :( :(

77. The craziest thing I did when I was very young was eat a "milkbone" dog biscuit! That was in the 80's baby! Yea! Crazy huh? You betcha! At least it wasn't something from "Fear Factor"! Ewwwwwww!

79)I always wanted to be a PI! Snow, how cool!

80. Im afraid of locusts! A few years back a locust got caught in my hair and got tangled up, and it was making that awful screaming noise right in my ear! Ever since then, even looking at one makes me cringe, makes my back crawl...yuck.

If one gets in my house, I literally freeze and my kids have to catch and free the nasty little thing outside....

81.)I'm terrified of crabs (the ocean kind, not the high school locker room kind, eeww, thats gross).

This summer I wanted to send seashells to someone who lives far from the ocean for their B-day. So I swam out to a rock where the good shells are - where there are also tons of crabs - armed with a broken hockey stick for protection. I was all nerves and any crab that came within five feet of me was instant seafood salad. I got the shells though. I felt like Indiana Jones with the snakes.

83. I hate licorice. yuck!

84.)I've been hit by a car twice.

Very interesting...
85. I had my 15 minutes of fame in 1996 when a student put LSD in my drink, and I was rushed to the hospital. I made the national news and the front page of my newspaper, and every talk show (except Oprah) wanted me on to discuss the sordid details (which I did not as I am a privat person). My friend nearly ran off the road when she heard it on the radio in Missouri, and I had former students calling me from all over the states hoping I was OK. One, who was a Navy Seal, heard it and wanted to come home " and flatten the guy". I was forced to give a TV/news press conference to tell exactly what happened, which then was played on some of those shows even a year later without my permission. There was a trial, but all the student got (besides expulsion) was a 2 year probation and he had to write a letter of apology, as the lab had thrown away the evidence by mistake so there was no submissible evidence. In truth, I wish those 15 minutes of fame happened in another venue!!!

86. Speaking of 15 minutes of fame, I've been on television(talking and all that good stuff) a few times and on the radio even more often than that. :)

87. One Christmas, my oldest brother and I woke up about 3:00 a.m., opened all our presents, re-wrapped them and then got up with everyone else later and acted surprised as we opened them again! ;)

88) didn't eat for 40 days to prove to myself I could. Lots of fruit juice, vitamins and gum tho!

89. I lived just outside of Athens, Greece for 3 years. I LOVED IT! I learned the language enough to get me everywhere and I had even learned to read the alphabet! I practiced on billboards and street signs. I have forgotten a lot of it now. :( (this was 20 years ago)

90. I am an ordained minister in my church. I speak, and have other responsibilities.

91) I scored third highest in a class of 300 on my high school exit exam, but was barely in the top half of my class and dropped out my senior year (I went back after a few months and finished up at a self-paced "alternative school").

92. I am horrible at math. Without my accountant I would die. Seriously. My checkbook looks like a bomb went off. . .

93) I turned 40 last month.

94. One of my younger brothers fell out of the backseat of our car TWICE, on two separate occasions, while it was in motion. Fortunately, never sustained an injury either time.

95) I have had no extra-ordinary experiences of any kind. No ufo's, alien abductions, ghost, hauntings, esp, etc etc.

The closest I came was when my dog had not moved his bowels for about 5 days, I asked God, "if you are real, make him ****," and
guess what -"

Guess who believes in God?

96. I turned 39 today.

And. . .rofl, Obsessing, I've heard of a lot of coming to God experiences but that's a new one!!

97) wait till u get to my age I am 47 years, 8 months an 13 days old:( my Son keeps me updated on my age, he is countin me down to 50 he says LOL

98) I never missed a day of school from the grade six, all the way to my next to final semester of college.

The only reason I missed that day in college? Well, like now, I was working at the college in the IT Department. The college was (and still is for the most part) in dire financial trouble...and on a morning like two weeks before Thanksgiving, they fired 35 people. One of them, was a friend that worked in web design department. He would often come over for lunch and me, him and two other coworkers would play multiplayer games in the office...

That day, I skipped my afternoon class and we all went out to lunch one last time.

99. I once went on a 5-mile hike up in the mountains in Washington State. Once we got to our campsite, there were only us (we had another couple with us) and some other people camped at the bottom of a some shale rock on the other side of the lake. We thought what a dumb place for them to be. In the middle of the night, there was a rock slide, but it was small and they moved their tent. :)

It started to rain the next morning and poured for 3 days. We packed everything up and hiked 5 miles down in the pouring rain. I had to go to the bathroom, and so on the way down veered off in the woods. EVER TRIED TO get wet jeans and thermal underwear up after it is so wet you can wring water out of it????

My friend had to help me and we started laughing so hard we were crying, but we finally managed to get them up but never zipped. lol.

101. I was once in a motorcycle accident. I was a passenger, we were in front of a semi truck and hit loose gravel, lost control and flipped over. Burned my leg by the knee, ripped my pants on the knee, grass burn on the knee, and sore, but that was it. Then it came a storm and we got rained on all the way home. The guy that I was riding with hands were almost frozen to the bars by the time we got back to college.

1) I was in a motorcycle accident, but I was only going 5 mph and it consisted of me dropping the bike. :(

It was an accident. :D

2. I do not believe in seat belts. When I was pregnant with my third child I was in a major accident driving home with a friend. We hit ice and she let go of the wheel. We spun out and were hit by a state utility truck. I was not wearing my seat belt and was able to roll into the middle as we spun and wrapped my legs around the gear shift. The front of the truck was literally IN the front seat. Had I been wearing my seat belt? I'd either be dead or in a wheelchair right now and I most certainly wouldn't have my son. Thus, I do not wear seat belts. I've only been ticketed for it once and when I fought it in court, I won.

I (and my history classes) have adopted a platoon of 39 soldiers in Iraq. (An MP company) We send letters and packages, and have gotten some nice letters back, one soldier even sent us Iraqi money. (he says he thinks it's only worth about 13 cents!).. and I am in fact packing up boxes now to send over, and if I don't get to the post office tomorrow, they will get their Christmas stuff late! :eek:

Wow, I am so happy that this thread is so well-liked!!
I think we may have lost the actual count, but who cares?
We're having fun!
:p

4. I will NOT drink egg nog!
ick!

5) I hate coconut, but I love coconut flavored snowcones.

6. I collect Hummels

7.


I have driven alone numerous times between Wisconsin and Colorado(1200 miles) and I did it without stopping to sleep(20 hrs)

8.


While in college, after a few gimlets ;) ...I entered and WON a wet T-shirt contest:o :p


Glad I won but ummm wasn't expecting someone to have a video camara there :eek: not to mention I had quite a few family members out with me that night.....boy did I get the razing:o lets just say I stopped drinking Gimlets!..lol

tennis Raven??? Must have been quite a game!

9) I have been interviewed on NPR.(National Public Radio)

My 15 minutes I guess.

10. The only accident I have ever been involved in was when my high school Driver's Ed teacher plowed his motorcycle into my brother's car. He was behind our car and not paying any attention at all when my brother gave his turn signal well in advance of the turn. My brother kept saying, "He's not paying any attention" and WHAM sure enough, he wasn't as his motorcycle slammed into the side of our car and he went flipping into the air over us. Broke his arm, but am sure he also had severe wounded pride when he saw one of his former students at the scene.

11. For all you mothers out there...I was born with an Apgar score of 1.

11. I can count 4 times of which I actually got into a car with some friends only to change my mind at the last minute and not go with them, (for no particular reason),and they ended up in terrible car accidents.

13) During the summers of my late teen's/early 20's...I use to do temp work. Assignments included: Stuffing Envelopes, Ticketing/Tagging clothing, File Clerk, making parts for oxygen resperators that they use in mines, janitor, as well as shipping/recieving.

14) I've worked as a telemarketer...twice! :o

15. Drove from Los Angeles to Houston, TX in 30 hours! Best trip ever! I can't wait to come back to TX and visit!

16) I drank a rufie-laced drink at a festival two years ago. Wound up in a tent with a guy on a cell phone saying, "she's waking up"

I was left without my sandels for the rest of the weekend, and someone kept my ankle bracelet, but left me with some nice rope burns around my ankles.

17.) Speaking of drinking...I once drank a beer that just happened to be someone's ashtray.

18. I once downed a fifth of vodka in an hour, then threw it all back up in several locations along I-64 E in Ky.

20. I cannot roller skate and roller blade worth a flip, and I have tried all my life. I have one daughter who can't either and she has the same shape to her legs as mine, wonder if that has anything to do with it??? :)

22. The kids I work with have given me the nickname of Special-K...I'm not sure if that's a good thing!

23. I am a mezza soprano.

I attended a profesional conference in "Nawlins" and one night went sans bra on a balcony at the request of a very nice guy (who was, BTW, walking with his female companion on the street below). She gave me a thumbs up and he blew me a kiss. It was a very intimate and sweet exchange between the three of us.

25. I was in the Movie Varsity Blues

26. WOW mark, which character were you?


I have a nephew who was one of the Indians in the remake of the Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis. He had to get a mohawk and wear a loin cloth, got the picture somewhere. He is part Delaware and Cherokee Indian.

27) I've never been in a movie, but I won a baby beauty contest when I was a year old. :cool:

26. I've met Eric Schweig from The Last Of The Mohicans several times. I worked with his former agent off and on for several years. (Eric's the one who gets his throat cut and his body tossed off the side of the cliff towards the end. . .couldn't have happened to a "nicer" guy. . .and I use that whole nice term loosely.)

27. Rented a 1998 Mustang GT Convertible back in 2000. My uncle from overseas came to visit us. My dad, uncle, aunt and I went to Las Vegas. It cost me about almost $700 because I had it fully insured just in case. Awesome car to drive even though I went around 65-70 mph on the freeway! Can't speed you know cuz at that time I had a speeding ticket on my record plus I cannot afford $300 bucks for a ticket. If I had the money I would drive it around 85-90mph!

28. I am a lead foot. I have this need for speed that there's just no explanation for. . .

29. I have been to the Indianapolis 500 4 times, but never to the Kentucky Derby, even though I have lived within a few miles of the Churchill Downs track all my life.

30) I have had the same artificial Christmas tree since 1975! It was brought in the PX in Berlin for my first Christmas in my own home :) ... I also still have several of the glass ornaments that I brought at the same time ......

31. The Last of the Mohicans is one of my all time favorite movies, and Uncas was one of my favorite characters. I sometimes show the movie to my history classes when we study the French and Indian War. (There is a great scene in there that resembles General Braddock's ill fated march to Fort Duquesne). Everyone hates when Uncas is killed! :(

33) I've flown a plane (briefly) and got to sit in the cockpit of an Apache helicopter (just while it was on the ground, of course - it was still fun!)

39. Before moving to Texas, I boarded the docked U.S.S. Nimitz and toured it and stood on the top deck while the Blue Angels flew over.

The Nimitz from stern to mast is 10 stories high.....holds 5000 sailors. If you ever get a chance to tour an Aircraft Carrier, do it!!!

42. My paternal grandfather was from Italy. His family was the original "rich family up on the hill" that harassed the poor serfs down at the bottom. By the time my grandfather arrived, though, they'd calmed considerably.

I guess he's where I get my ow/ym bent - he was 27 years older than my grandmother.

43) I'm pretty handy with an oxy-acetylene blowtorch. I can even arc weld a tiny bit. :D

44) I have slept in an officer's bunk onboard USS Kennedy ;)

When I graduated High School...I took 4 months off from any college and completely re-built my 65' Chevelle, Malibu. I was so proud........what was wrong with me???!!!!!

46. I had to "escape" from Seattle with my kids in 1993 away from my ex. LONG STORY, but one interesting thing is I had to leave earlier than expected, so I called the airline begging for a flight out sooner, there were none. I told the lady, PLEASE, Im trying to get away from my husband , and he found out I am leaving. She checked again, came back and said well, I have an opening in FIRST CLASS , but it will be an extra 2....I said, 200.00! ????and she said no 2 dollars (IM NOT KIDDING) I said ILL TAKE IT!!!!!!!! My mother was paying for the flight and could only afford so much...we had the cheapest coach tickets we could get, then when I got to the airport, they waved the 2.00 per person fee, and the kids got treated like royalty. :)

47. I like famous people, and I love meeting them. I've met and partied with Depeche Mode (which may not seem like a big deal to most people, but they are my fave band ever, so it was unbelievable), had a conversation with Steve Tyler from Aerosmith, talked to Wayne Gretzky, and sat with a friend with Prince for over an hour and talked about religion. There's more but I can't remember them right now...

Edit: Oh yeah, my friend and I partied with Bare Naked Ladies once. The lead singer wasn't very nice at all. But they bought us drinks all night, so I didn't care.

58. When I was in 5th grade, I beat all the boys in marbles. :)

49. I was a tomboy when I was a little girl. My favorite past time during recess was to beat up the boys. I got in trouble quite a few times for it, too. :p

Pink...I love Depeche Mode too...and Whiterose...I was SUCH the tomboy! I was even asked a lot if I was the older "brother".

50. I used to play rugby until I tore my ACL in 2002.

54) My mom refused to buy me Barbies because she thought they were a bad influence on girls. One of my aunts bought me some but I never played with them.

55 I played with barbies but built tree houses for my daughter

ps whiterose, I also used to beat up boys. Loved it.

57
I asked a pastor to bless the last house I lived in cuz it was haunted, but he ended up having to exersize it.

58. I live on about three hours of sleep a night.

[B]51. You just reminded me of something that has long been buried in my subconscience mind. When I was younger, and even now to a certain degree, I just HATED girls. All girls, especially if they were my boyfriend's lil sister. So, I would hide and trip the girls when they came around the corner. I still don't like most girls or women, but I just don't go around tripping them anymore. hee hee hee


I don't get on with females either, in my case it was because of the harsh treatment I always recieved from them when I was a kid and the fact that I thought that they were wimps, all that crying over dolls an stuff, I never understood that :confused:


59) I have just realised all my really close friends (the kind u discuss ya innermost secrets etc with) have always been guys ...........

60) I've been bitten by a leopard (not too hard).

61. A laama tried to eat my hair (darn curls!) when I was little...I still am a bit freaked out by the things.

62. I love gumbo, jambalaya and benigets! I even tried "alligator" meat at a fair 4 months ago. Tastes like chicken with a rubbery texture to it.

63. I love antique furniture and believe in keeping them in use. At my kitchen table, I use chairs that my great-grandparents bought for their home over 100 years ago. In my bedroom, I use a walnut dresser that was made in 1847 and was made in the small town I grew up in.

65. I love antiques too and all things REAL wood. I have 3 cast iron beds (the old kind you can't find anymore) and I don't buy furniture unless it is REAL wood....with the dovetail drawers, etc.

I also own the rolling pin that my dad carved from a solid block of wood for my mom when they first married. She was 17, he was 21. It is over 65 years old. My sister owns my grandmother's rolling pin.

And about animals....I got bit by a duck in a zoo once when I wouldn't give him some of my popcorn. I had a dress on and he ran for the buttocks!!! and would not let go until I dropped the popcorn box and then all the duck ran for it. Everyone was laughing and I was crying. lol

It must be true what they say about being in love making you even more beautiful....I swear that Jannie is prettier every new pic she posts!

67. I had three pregnancies in two years.. all pregnancies were somewhat dangerous for me, as I developed high blood pressure with each of them, and had to be watched closely. My first baby was born prematurely (7 mos.) and only lived one day. That was the worst heartbreak of my life, nothing before or since has ever hurt so much.

68. Speaking of pregnancies. . .I had placenta previa with all four of my pregnancies. That's practically unheard of and I ended up having to go through all sorts of tests like some guinea pig because the doctors just couldn't understand how it could happen with all four. During that testing, we found out that the record for the most placenta previa problems went to some poor lady in Arkansas who had it with SEVEN children. I do believe four was more than enough...

JOANNALEE BEHAVE :) You are making me blush....funny you said that though, cause my kids said, Mom you look different lately, more happier or something. LOL YOU ARE A beautiful woman yourself and like I said before, all the ageless women are beautiful!!



69. I had 3 pregnancies, never started labor with any of them....had to be induced 3 times.....first one 32 hours labor, second one 27 hours labor, third one 8 INTENSE hours labor. (a boy) :)

The first child had been swallowing blood for 3 days, was swollen and had to have stomach pumped, was about 2 weeks early and was super tiny, but not preemie, she wore cabbage patch clothes, lol, the second child had the cord wrapped around her neck, didnt' want to come out and had myconium staining and rapid breathing. She was 9 pounds and was in the nursery for a few days with the 1-5 pound babies, looked like a monster beside them. I felt like conquering the world after the third delivery compared to the other two, but then The third child was severely jaundice and you know how that put jaundice babies in the incubator with Velcro patchs over their eyes and private areas to protect them from the lights, well he actually RIPPED THE GLASSES OFF. The nurses said they never had seen a baby do that EVER and so we got no sleep making sure he didn't do it again, a 24-hour watch, and the only thing that made him quit screaming and crying was playing Big Band music in his incubator.....so needless to say by the time he got well, they had to wheel me out in a wheelchair, I coudl barely walk and I was crying hysterically from exhaustion. lol

70. Aww Genevieve, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your first baby! I lost my first one, too, but it was very early on in the pregnancy. Like Jannie, I did not go into natural labor with my other two -- both were induced.

And, Jannie, Joannalee's right... your newest picture is wonderful... you are positively glowing.

whiterose, that is the heat from my overhead lamp. lol And Gen, Im sorry to hear about your loss also, meant to say that earlier, and you too Whiterose.

I don't have any tatoos.

72. (I think). I used to play the clarinet in junior high school.

73. Ive been an aunt since I was one year, 2 months old and that niece turns 46 this Sunday.

74. I hate to cook but I like to look at cookbooks.

75) I was trained as a Chef :) Altho, these days I can't see well enough even cook a simple meal a lot of the time:( good thing my favorite food is Salad :D

77) No-one has ever given me the present I would most like to receive first thing on christmas morning ......... A HUGE, unasked, for hug .......... :( sad but true :( .............

Aw, Shewolf I'm sorry. :( ((((hugs))))



78) I kept my own name when I got married.

79) I play in freeway traffic...

OH! Sorry, that's what someone WANTS me to do. Numbnuts.

The real 79) I'm one of the few people that will actually *draft* behind a big mac truck on the freeway. Since they create such a big hole in the air, the theory is you can go just as fast w/o using as much gas pedal, because there is less wind resistance. In theory, it should save a lil gas...keyword: LITTLE. *LOL*

~Dan, The Jolly Ole Fat Man

80. I still have my original nurse's cap that I wore during my first few years as an RN before it became unpopular to wear them anymore.

81. DAN, I draft behind semis too!!! lol


Hey for those of you who don't know, it is just etiquette in Texas to pull over to the right and let semi's by on the road, so they don't have to slow down or just basically get out of the way when you see one speeding up there. You will be going down a highway in Texas and the semi just has a clear shot, even the police do it, its just what we do.

82. When I was married, I gave my wife a burial plot for Christmas once.............

She never used it.

(Joke guys, just a joke.......)

Actually, I gave her a S&W 38Spl. ... LOL...... she was expecting an engagement ring... (That came the following year:D)

83. Speaking of engagement rings, I never received one from my first husband. :(

84. I've been engaged once, asked two other times, but never married. I'm waiting for that guy who just bowls me over. Or else I'm just to darn picky like mom says! :D

85) All my jewelry is silver ............ Gold brings me out in a rash ... I had to stop wearing my first, an only, wedding ring because of it, an have never had an Engagement ring either

87. My first husband seems to live in a state of denial. On our honeymoon, he was the only person who did not exit the water when a 7 ft shark was spotted swimming nearby. He remained on his raft while the shark swam right beside him! :eek:

But, he was also the same guy who refused to believe that Muhammad Ali was standing right next to us in line at the cinema in Louisville, even though Louisville is Muhammad Ali's home town AND even after people started asking him for autographs. :rolleyes:

Wow Babes, thats a great story. I bet she could have written a book about grief.

90. On the maternal side of the family, my great-great-great grandfather was a full blood Cherokee Indian who married a white woman (scandalous back then) and they owned a general store, .....on the paternal side of the family, my great-great uncles came from England, there were 5 brothers, went to the Carolinas and married 5 Cherokee women, then got ran out of there for some reason to Texas. lol

In central Texas at least, it's also customary to pull over to the right for anyone that wants to get by on a two-lane road, since there aren't too many straight stretches where you can pass. I've seen several people who weren't familiar with the tradition get people upset at them without even knowing why. :p


91) When I graduate in May I'll be the first person to get a college degree on my dad's side of the family since my great-great-grandad who was a doctor (I just assume he went to college :D )

92. My uncle took my sister and I to a studio where we both auditioned to be in commercials. My hair was so long at that time that I can be a "hair" model for shampoo commercial. hee hee hee hee!

93

During my younger years I followed the Grateful Dead up and down the east coast. I even managed to sneak back stage after one of thier concerts and wasn't asked to leave, so I stayed hung out with them. Boy did they know how to party!!

K

94. I once was in a volunteer amateur dramatics group, and played a small part in Humpty Dumpty for a local theatre :)

95. When I was 20, I lived with my brother and his first wife, who owned a rather large horse ranch.
One night I had a young man over that I had the hugest crush on and had finally gotten the chance to "have him all to myself", as he visited me while my brother and his wife were out on the town with friends.

A small wind storm kicked up as we were lounging in the living room having a couple of beers when a cop knocked on the door.
Three of my brothers horses had gotten out and they were running amuck all over the neighborhood.
It was up to me to get the dang horses.
(there were no cell phones back then for me to call my brother).

Well, this young man that I had over was a bonafied "city-boy" and had never even ridden a horse, let alone chase three of them down.

Well, I grabbed the bridles and off he and I ran after these VERY large Tennessee Walkers.
We found them, of all places, running around the track at the high school and the three of us, (the cop decided to join in), ran round and round this track after these horses trotting along as if on a casual trek in the country.

As soon as I would get close enough to get the bridle on them, they would raise up, whinnie like he_ _ and bolt.
Scared the HECK out of my city-boy, (and the cop too, I think)!
LOL

It wasn't easy, but I was able to bridle each one and my city-boy, the cop and I trotted all three horses back to the ranch.

That young man told me it was the most exciting date he ever had and we ended up together for almost a year.

Hehe...lol...Sage. Good story.


96. I've also chased horses, pigs, and cows all around my neighborhood.





Dabrake

Sage, whenever my horses got loose, we'd simply go out there with apples or carrots, and call them.. as soon as they saw what we had, they'd come to us! LOL Even my then 7 year old daughter would grab one by the halter, and he'd follow her like a puppy. :)

Yep, Genevieve, that would have normally been the case, but with the wind storm that night, these horses were full of spirit!
Funny how storms bring that out in them.

Glad that kind of thing didn't happen too often while I lived there.
They sure were beautiful horses though....

97. My mom used to make her own butter and my job was to take turns churning it. I still have the bottom part of the churn, but no one has located the top yet.

Also, on a side note...I used to go with her to milk our one dairy cow in the mornings. She would make me stand behind her as we walked through the grass to the little barn in case there was a snake or something on the path. Once when I was about 6, outside the barn there was a rattlesnake and King snake fighting. I said KILL THEM, and she said no, the King snake kills poisionous snakes, don't ever kill one of those. She told me we would go milk the cow and when we came out the rattlesnake would be dead. I was terrified, but when we came out, SURE NUFF (as we say in texas) the rattlesnake was dead. :)

98. In elementary, I won 3rd place ribbon for the Long jump and also in one of the relay races for the school olympics.

99. I once(about 12 years ago) had to kill a rattlesnake that was in my back yard (cause there were no king snakes around). I was afraid he would get my dogs(I had 3 german shepherds at the time) and so I shot it with my 22, had a couple of neighbor boys help me skin it cause I wanted to keep the skin.....but when I stretched it out on the board, it was so full of holes since I really wanted it to be dead.:D


I did that all while my husband was at work. He about died laughing when he saw it.

100. As a little girl, I took piano lessons. I always walked home by cutting through backyards since it was quicker. One time I attempted to exit my piano teacher's backyard through her gate, which was vine covered, heard a hissssss, and looked straight into the face of a snake. I have no clue what kind of snake it was. Who cares?? -- all I know is that I didn't like it! But, I turned around and ran all the way home the long way, even though it took twice as long to get home.

101) I used to take my Slow Worm (a legless lizard) to school, the boys thought I was cool the girls just screamed an run away :( I never could work out why :confused: :confused: :confused:

1. I witnessed my very favorite pet (my dog Ike), get killed when he was run over by a truck. :(

2. I talked earlier about having to kill a rattlesnake.....well, I actually had snakes as pets while growing up. A king snake, a whip snake, and yes a rattlesnake(my dad was a snake hunter). The rattler used to sit in a wooden box cage on a piano in our small foyer right next to the front door, and would rattle when someone came in the doorway and stood. Well, my dad put a white mouse in the cage to feed it.....several weeks went by without the snake eating it......so the mouse actually took a bite out of the snake and killed it!

I'm full blooded Albanian and used to go to Albanian picnics when I was a kid. There families would get together and roast whole pigs and lambs, dance in big circles holding hands to a live band, and try and match up their children with other Albanians.

My cousins and I used to tell the bartender that we needed beer for our uncles, then go into the woods, shake them up, and squirt them on eachother. There were also fun games for the kids, like races and such.

When I think of my childhood, I have to smile. I wish I could have passed some of that culture on to my own kids, but the family get togethers died with my grandmother 14 years ago.

Oh, and I know a few workd in Albanian, mostly bad ones. <wink>

K

4.)I got to play "I Just Want to Make Love to You" onstage with the remaining members of Foghat.

I was a "hippy child/baby". I've attended more concerts as a kid than as an adult.:cool:

6. I used to live in a very culturally diverse neighborhood in Seattle. The people behind us were Spanish, the people beside us were Vietnamese, In front of us were Cambodians and Philipinos.

The Spanish and Philipinos had constant birthday parties, and we got invited to the Philipino parties all the time because they had 2 little girls our girls ages. It was fun. The Vietnamese beside us had a teenage daughter who babysitted for us. Their names were Mi (me) Ti (tea) mie (MY) and ANDY. LOL The Cambodians didnt speak a word of English and had a herd of kids and when I had garage sales, they swarmed on me like bees and I ended up just giving it all away. lol

7. One of my most favorite memories when I was a little girl was spending time with my "Pappaw". He was my great-grandfather and was the only male grandparent I ever knew. Both my grandfathers died either before I was born, or shortly afterward.

I loved my Pappaw. He loved me and we had lots of fun together. Sometimes we'd go out together at night to catch nightcrawlers that we'd use as fish bait the next day.

I loved watching my Pappaw shave with the straight razor. He always did that at the kitchen table right after he had breakfast. He drank his coffee from a bowl. Don't ask me why he had such peculiar habits, but he did.

On Sundays, he'd get his car out of the garage and drive it a quarter of a mile to the small grocery store in town. It was the only time he ever drove that car. Some of the local elderly gentlemen hung out at that grocery sitting near the coal stove, and telling tall tales. They would give me candy and tease me about cutting off my thumb which was always in my mouth (no kidding please -- I was only about 5 yrs old).

He died at the age of 88 when I was 10 years old, but I am so fortunate to have so many memories of him.

2. I can tell you the licence plate number of every car myself and my family have owned since I was about 6 yrs old, also all our phones numbers etc. I know all my banks account details and national insurance numbers etc by heart, and those of most of my family, for some reason my brain just stores this stuff really well!
I went for a test to work for a bank once, and at the end of the test they asked me what job I would like, I was the only person ever to have scored 100% seemingly!:D

Okay -- that does it -- one of us was switched at birth!

8. I can tell you the licence plate number of every car owned by me and my father, and every former b/f, as well as a few other assorted acquaintances. Including a completely anonymous vehicle chosen at random in a parking lot 13 years ago by my ex's brother, to test my memory for number sequences. He has since forgotten that he ever did this; I am stuck with the licence number in my head! Also my ex-husband's social insurance number, which I haven't needed to know since 1986. At any given moment, I can tell you how much money I have in my purse, including how many bills of each denomination.

November 1965? Possibly escaping my 2nd birthday party? :D

9. I am a total cat person! Morris the cat is my favorite cat! When I was 5 yrs old...my mom and dad adopted stray cats and they had kittens and they got to 15 cats in the house. I still have cats in the house even now and they are so cool.

10. My cat lives in the basement. He absolutely refuses to come upstairs. What a dork. . .

I was extremely allergic to cats most of my life...up until a few years ago.

I suck Peachy's feet whether they are clean or not!!!

WHiterose, I love your memories of your Pappaw. :)

Thanks Jannie. I do, too. For some unknown reason, he popped into my thoughts today and I'm glad to have a place to mention him. He was a wonderful man.

14, I think. All my life I bit my nails until 2 years ago, when I suddenly stopped.

Number Sixhundred Fiftyfive Thousand, Twelve Hundred And Eight

My grandmother was the first woman in the United States to receive a degree in Greek.

What the heck she wanted with a degree in Greek I'll never know. Nothing like being rich and bored during the roaring Twenties. . .

16) My Grandmother was divorced from her first husband by an act of Parliment in the 20's and lost the right to see her 3 children from the marriage, she didn't get to meet them again until they were over 21. Her family disowned her because of the scandel, divorce was a huge no-no in those days especial for a debutante .......... My Grandmother was so cool, a total rebel!! :D She refused to marry my Grandfather although they lived together for decades, an worked as a catwalk model in a fashion house for years then as a hair model ......

17. My great-grandfather I mentioned above was married three times and he ended up a widower with each marriage. All three wives are buried next to him.

18. Some people have a fetish for feet, but I am the opposite.
I DO not like touching people's feet.
I can touch baby feet and little kids feets- but NOT adult feet.
It creeps me out big time!
(Joe's post made me think of that...)

Hey Joe, maybe that is why you got the flu, think of all those germs. ewwwwwwww lol

20. I love broccoli.

21. I am a self-professed chocoholic.

22. I am seriously allergic to almonds.

23. I am with Whiterose on this one! My favorites are of swiss origin!

25. I once took a picture on a remote part of a beach in Hawaii....there were only 10 people in our party and only 10 people present on the deserted beach where we were.....there were 6 guys and 4 girls and all the girls had 1-piece swimsuits on, and when I got the film back, there was a very white, 2 piece bathing suited woman lying on the beach among us. Her head was not in the picture, just the body and she looked very pale and swollen. We were all freaked out....!!!

I would print the picture for yall to see but unfortunately my ex-husband's MS THANG affair that he left me for, threw all his junk out in the rain when she found out he was cheating on her (HAHAH) and those pictures were in the stuff that got ruined. :(
BTW she then called me to apologize about "breaking my marriage up" and I said didn't you know you werent the only one he was sleeping with when he was dating you?....I thought she knew. ditsy woman! Dont get me started about goofy people who think that when they are dating a married man/woman the one cheating is telling the truth about things. GEEZ Anyone that would cheat on their spouse, lie to them and sneak around cannot be A CATCH of any good proportions.

YEAH BABES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

31) I stay away from the Relationship Board for a reason...*LOL*

BTW...congratulations Babes...*smiles and hugs*

32. On the very first, and last, time I rode a motorcycle, I was involved in an accident.

*Dan -- I may have to stay away from the Relationship portion, too. I've been very vocal today.*

EDIT: Oops! Meant to offer my congratulations, too, Babes! Am so happy for you two.

I dont go anywhere but chit chat cause I nearly have a stroke when I read those relationship (lets see what is a nice thing to call them, hummmm) oh well, you know what I mean.

34) My name is Dan, however Becky refers to me as "Her Sam"...this is directly related to Lord of the Rings. She see's so many qualities in me that are the same as the character Samwise Gamgee, in Lord of the Rings, who accompanies Frodo Baggins on his quest...

okay I went back on what I said. I just went to relationship support and blew my top and posted something to Joe and Harrison and So I probably will be saying goodbye to this site too, but for those of you who I talk to regularly, I will still keep in touch.

Jesus...

All of my partners in crime, seem to be leaving!

*DOAH*

Ya'll are gonna make me have to corrupt the minds of others, aren't you? You want to see others get corrupted, don't ya?

35. My parents named me after a priest that founded an all boys private school. I actually attended that school in my early years.

36. My mom named me after a character in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.


And, Dan, you can corrupt me anytime! j/k. Actually, today I have been quite a rebel speaking out much more than I usually do.

But, nothing tops what Jannie just said! :eek: But, it was so perfectly stated!

Jannie: I hope you don't leave, and if you do, I hope you'll be willing to exchange email addresses or instant message handles so we can talk. I am just now getting to know you and don't want you to leave!

38. I detest washing the dishes. Absolutely abhor it. I LOVE my dishwasher!!

39. I am of Chinese/European descent.

41. My oldest son's name is Jeremy Michael. I'd married his father when I was 17 and had Jeremy when I was 19. My current husband's name is Jeremy, although he wasn't in my life when I named my first son. My second husband's name was Michael (and Michael wasn't in my life when I named my first son Jeremy *Michael*), my 17-year-old son is Christopher Jordan, and my 13-year-old son is Jordan Michael. My 14-year-old son, Gabriel Arynn, is the only one who didn't end up sharing part of a name with anyone else. Weird, eh?

42. Oh Whisper, can I ever relate!! My ex-brother-in-law's name was Michael. His son's name is Michael. His son-in-law's name is Michael and his grandson's name is Michael. I have four clients named Michael, a cousin named Michael that I'm really close to and Caden has a couple of relatives named Michael. I'm virtually surrounded by Michaels!!!

Molly, that's really funny! It's difficult for my mother to figure out which Jeremy I'm talking about; I can't imagine how hard it might be to keep all the Michaels straight in your conversations.

lol Thank God they're never all in the same place with me at the same time!!!

43. Speaking of Michaels, I have been married twice and each one was named Michael.

45. Back in elementary, my classmate and I won a puppet show using two lunch bags! My teacher was so proud of us that we done a bunch of shows at other classrooms. My puppet was a "Clown"! nyuk nyuk nyuk! Sointenly!

46. I placed first and third in arm wrestling contests back in my early 20s. I used to work at a meat-packing plant cutting up large cuts of meat all day....so I was pretty strong for a 125 pound woman going up against some that were 165. They only had two weight classes.



Dabrake

Dabrake,

You go girl! Ya!

64. A producer buddy just asked me to write a screenplay for his company. Looks like I'm returning to writing after all. . .

65. Its 1.40pm on a Sunday and I still haven't changed out of the boxers I slept in.

66. I have 5 moles on the back of my neck.

67) I've been to a monster truck rally. It wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be. :p

68. I once heard Morley Safer from 60 Minutes speak when I was in college. My impression of him was that he was arrogant, pompous, and a bore. He acted like he was doing us all a favor by gracing us with his presence.

69. I don't know who Morley Safer is.

70. I missed a chance to meet Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons when I was in college. My date had taken me to see them in concert on campus. He asked me if I wanted to go to McDonald's with him afterward, but I declined. The next morning, he told me that Frankie had sat in the booth next to him at McDonald's and that they had struck up a conversation with each other. :(

I know, Jason. You probably don't know who Frankie Valley is either.

71. Whiterose is correct. :)

Dang, Whiterose!

I would of loved to of met them...

Actually, here in and around PIttsburgh,we see alot of the oldies groups/singers. They say Pittsburgh is the oldies capital of the country. It's also where PBS did those Doo Wop shows...

We see Johnny Angel and the Halo's, The Vogues, Porky Chedwick and a bunch of others, around here quite frequently.

Yeah, me too Dan. I've been kicking myself for 27 yrs about that. But, my date was kinda boring and I really didn't think we'd have anything to talk about that night.

btw Jason: Frankie Valley sang alot of hit songs in the '60's like Big Girls Don't Cry.

Ahh, now I know who he is. :cool:

72. I grew up in a small town of about 1200 people.

73. I learnt to drive when I was 11 on the family property.

When I was in college, I got the privilege of hearing John Douglas speak. This was before profiling and the BSU were big names. Unlike Morley Safer, he was very gracious, kind, and answered all of our questions. At the reception following he showed that he had a penchant for chocolate cake. . .

75. I learned to drive when I was 12. My uncle and aunt served as night watchmen at an auto auction. They let me move the cars around the lot. I thought I was so big. Lucky for them that I didn't wreck any of them!

76. I think I destroyed my short-term memory smoking so much pot in my teens.....it was the 60's.

78. I have never seen an episode of Friends.

(note to Babes....I also doodle very intricate eyes, anytime I'm on the phone, or in a class....I was surprised to see you say that, too!)

My 14-year-old son is suspected of having ADD but not ADHD. My-17-year old is definately ADHD - and he's in constant motion.

Ever go to Rosies? Or the Green Mill?

Chicago does have some great music venues. :)

87. I only remember 1 line from Raising Arizona:

TURN TO THE RIGHT!!!!!!

88. My favorite line from Raising Arizona was "son, you've got a panty on your head!"
