101 Things You Didn't KNow About US!

30. My stalker is from Norway. . .thus I have this slight phobia regarding Scandanavian things. . .seriously, I can't even look at Lefse without getting nauseated and it has nothing to do with the food. lol

31. I went to college in a dry county in eastern Kentucky. The only way for us to buy booze in that county was to drive way out into the "hollers" (translation = hollows) and find the bootleggers. There was a very popular bootlegger there named "Sweets". He was a dirty, greasy, very large man who sat all day in a little plywood shack selling booze illegally to underage students like me. It was kind of exciting to take the risk of going there because his shack could be raided by the police at anytime.

OMG, Kat, you wild woman, you!!!!;)

32. I love scented candles.

33. I had the HUGEST "thing' for Ted Nugent back in the day. I still get rather "goo-goo eyed" over him everytime I listen to his music, especially "Stranglehold"

34.) = how old i am now...

I won't eat eggs with out removing the white umbilicle parts from the yolk....

(of course, I ignore that rule for deluxe pastries and....well. often really...I should say, when I am in control of the egg, it is removed!)

35. I won't eat anything with a creamed white sauce
ick!

36. I am probably one of the few percent of people who do not like lobster. bleecccchhhh.

37. Someone broke my nose - because I said I didn't like sheep - now if the wind blows a certain way ( I have no septum) it blows up one nostril and out the other and whistles - the kids think it's hilarious!

38.)

I can't eat anything of the formerly living variety that bounces back when you bite into it...

never tried, but I'm guessing calamari does this...oysters...that kinda stuff...

39. I live in Indiana, but work in Kentucky.

40.)

I live 2 miles exactly from the State Capitol of California

41) I'm so stubborn I once went on a 300 foot crane and got the bungee jump man to push me off despite being terrified of heights - just because I said I would when I had had a couple of drinks!! And cos all the boys were down there waiting for me to wimp out!

I have an absolutely filthy temper - but I only lose it about once every four years........

45 )Funny how we do things that we'd HATE our own kids to do!!

I told my nana I was going to sleep at my frineds house and she did the same - and we went to Castle Donnington for the weekend to see The Monsters of Rock festival it was great but I think we got grounded forever or something heheh!

54. No one could beat me at tether ball in grade school. I won EVERY time! Guess because I was so tall...

55) I got into one fight in the whole of my high school life. After that everyone used to some to hang round with me if someone was picking on them :D ( but I did almost get excluded!)

Hhehe - I don't know my bio dad - do you think we might be related?? haha - you sound as mischievious a teen as I was!

56) I used to set off the fire alarms at school so I could perv on the firemen *blushes*

59.)
I play guitar, piano and sing...I can pick out a tune on pretty much any instrument, well, many...;)

60. My Mother was, (and still is), an excellent seamstress! She used to tailor all my Father's business suits, created the most gorgeous evening gowns for herself, (and other dresses), and sewed me some wonderful clothes in my teen years. I have her 1958 Singer "Stitch-O-Matic" and it is in prime condition, of which I have used to sew many quilts.

I feel exactly the same way Kerri!!
And I have been a member of quite a few message forums and other online groups.
I can be myself here, (and be accepted for who I am), and I find that so refreshing!

84. I like to chop wood. It's a great work-out!

85) I do a blokes job - driving a forklift truck and unloading trailers... but I love it totally and it saves me paying for gym subs!

87. I cannot sleep in a moving vehicle

88. I feel the same way that Kerri does about ageless and I've never belonged to any other forums. This one is a gem. And, I'm here thanks to Remi. ;)

89)
I love Glam rock

90. My great-grandfather used to be a caretaker at a cemetery... dug graves and buried people, too.

93. My great-great grandparents had a 34 year age difference (he was older).

94) My nana ( great granny) was a "wise woman" they used to come knocking on her door when someone was sick, needed a midwife or died. It was her used to put the penny's on all those people's eyes so they could pay the boat across Hades! lol

Watch out for this one Dee! This place is addictive:D
I wonder if we will all start menstruating at the same time??:confused:

edit...58?? where did I get that number from?

babes, maybe you are subconsciously preparing to move to the U.S.??

95. I detest romance novels

96) me too they suck!

97. My favorite love story (Wuthering Heights) was mentioned in the movie Cold Mountain, which I saw today, which was filmed in Romania, which is where my b/f lives.

I took Wuthering heights the books for my 'A' level English lit

98. I rarely ever put pepper on my food.

edit: oops I must be 99.

I don't like spending money at the malls, but get me into an old fashioned "Dime Store", (NOT the Dollar Stores), and I go nuts buying stuff!

101. I love chocolate ice cream.

Most food tastes good without salt & pepper if you don't murder it during cooking!
um but
102 probably by now -

I had my nipple piecred but it got infected and my ex husband took it out with two pairs of pliers OWWWWWW!

No it means your either way behind or way in front of everyone else.........

3. I love spaghetti with lots of salt on it.

Just the 100 post tickled me and I'm a bit of a tease!

5) I'm criminally insane ( ok that's a lie sorry) I am a black belt in Karate tho :D

6. When I was a little girl, my next door neighbors mother made her two daughters and me identical outfits. We loved pretending like I was their sister.

lol babes - when I was writing at full throttle I would have LOVED to have had something published with Red Sage. Alas, being married to a minister at the time totally screwed THAT up. . .

Is Red Sage over there like Black lace over here?

Black lace took a couple of my tales a few years back. Made them look good too after they took out the real rude bits.......
:p
Dee xx

9. I think... I love Beethoven and Mozart.

Yes, Red Sage is pretty much the same type of publisher. I have a colleague who publishes regularly with Black Lace.

Hahahah! I don't believe it!

freaky! We definitely have to have a get together!! Just too much alike !!

Dee xx

Well, cool, Babes. . .now I have TWO colleagues who publish with Black Lace. <G>

10. When The Sound of Music came out, my mom and I sat through it 3 times... this was back in the day when you were allowed to remain in the theatre without purchasing another ticket.

12. I named my daughter's middle name after my favorite flower... Rose, of course. :p

13. I LOVE cotton candy!
It's the main reason I go to the fairs and it amazes me how much of it I can eat!
I'll eat it till I get sick!

14. I am a member of Romance Writers of America also.. I guess I love romance novels too! :D

15.)
Whan I am really upset, I clean feverently. Like now. Just finished the toilets, off to more...update to come in another thread. :(

16) And MY thing was cars -- twice I let total strangers give me a ride because they had great cars. Fortunately, they were also very nice guys, and I was perfectly safe. I did make a couple detours into guys with motorcycles (one Norton, one Harley), but that only works about 6 months of the year here!

17. I had an uncle, (now passed on), that was the spitting image of Dean Martin.
He dressed like him and even sounded like him.
When he and my aunt would go to Vegas, he was always mobbed by Dean Martin fans that would never believe he wasn't Dean.
My uncle even met Dean Martin and they had their picture taken together and it was uncanny.
As a matter of fact, my uncle and Dean Martin remained in contact with each other, (they had became friends), until my uncle passed away.
My uncle died 2 years before Dean Martin died.

18. My favorite opera role was Elizabeth I. I was 18, a size 8 and wearing this HUGE 275 costume with a gigantic wooden slatted hoop skirt - I couldn't even SEE the stage. My headpiece without the crown - we're talking just the wig and the jewels weighed in at about 50 pounds. The crown added another ten pounds. I had headaches, back aches, bruises and I still sang - every night for three straight weeks and two matinees on Saturday and Sunday. lol One time in rehearsal? I actually stepped OFF the stage because I couldn't see it and fell straight down into the orchestra pit - I landed on both feet, completely unhurt because the skirt was so blasted stiff and heavy it basically umbrella'd me to the floor. Unfortunately, the outfit prohibited taking the side stairs up to the stage so I literally had to strip down to my skivvies and go back on stage while three stage hands carried the stupid dress back up to me. lololol

19. I still have my Christmas tree up and I really don't want to take it down!
It's hard for me to let go of Christmas.

Sage...don't feel bad...come to my house...

20) We don't take our Christmas tree and decorations down until the end of January. (We put the main Xmas tree up Xmas Eve)

21. My favorite color is purple.

22. I love to fly. I just hate airports.

23.)
I like airplane food.

24. I got invited twice to the Business Class lounge by an female airline employee friend and had the taste of luxury for 30 mins (Lunchbreak) back then :)

Savannah, Ive been meaning to tell you, my daughter Meg wants that puppy! What kind is it? She is desperate for us to get another dog, since our last one died a year ago, and the cat doesnt like playing!
I have kind of promised we will, but now she wants one like yours, so you better give me the details!:D
That's a husky/German shepherd/Newfoundland cross -- although her sire was purebred Newfie, it was only evident in her coat. Any mix of shepherd with husky or malamute should produce similar results. Give me a day, and I'll throw more pics in the album site. You may want to rethink that when you see the fur.
(I suspect that Meg is really MY child.......! :D )

25. I was once trapped in first class with Dennis Rodman for six hours - two of them on the ground due to de-icing. Longest freaking six hours of my life. . .

26.)
I once had someone ask me to marry him. 2 days later he backed out. He said he asked me because he didn't want to lose me. (1996)

27.)
I once had someone tell me he loved me and wanted to be my boyfriend. 2 days later he backed out. He said he asked me because he didn't want to lose me. (today)

I'm so sorry Kerri. :(


28. I was once dumped by a guy back in high school. He eventually got the girl pregnant that he dumped me for. They married. He told me two years later that he wished it had been me that he married. I told him I did not feel the same way.

Years later, I took care of her when she was in labor with their 4 or 5th child (I forget which) and they were getting a divorce... He was no where to be seen when she had the baby.

So, all in all, losing him turned out to be a good thing for me.

29. I'm thinking my house might be haunted. :eek: I keep seeing someone out of the corner of my eye, then when I look in that direction, they are gone. I really thought I had lost it until my son revealed to me a few months ago that this has been happening to him -- and I had not even told him about it happening to me.

30) Shhhhhhh....

Don't anyone say anything....but I'm inside Whiterose's house!!

Hehehehehehee....

What? Really? Man, that is giving me the chills.

33) I once met and had dinner with Chuck Norris at a fundraiser dinner. I was seated at his table! (Knew a friend of a friend). My dad and step-mom were there as well. She got a picture with him, mine didn't come out (figures). To this day nobody believes my story but I swear it's true. I was 7 months pregnant, so I guess my son can now make the same claim of having dined with Walker Tx Ranger himself, technically.

35. I once stood about 2 ft away from Muhammad Ali in line at the Showcase Cinemas in Louisville, but my ex-husband who was with me refused to believe it was him, even though everyone eventually started asking for his autograph.

Um, ah, Dan?? That clown is just nassssttttyyyyy!!!

36. One of my pr clients used to be ON Walker Texas Ranger with Chuck Norris. He played young Uncle somebody. . .can't remember his name. lol

37. My favorite movies of all time are:
Jaws
Perfect Storm
Glory
Saving Private Ryan
Platoon
The Cowboys
and
A Christmas Carol, (with George C. Scott)

Not your typical "chick flicks", but I have watched each of these movies at least 25 times.

38. There are so many movies that I love that I cannot narrow them down to a list, however, I can assuredly say that my very favorite movie without a doubt is Wuthering Heights, 1939 version. That movie just tears me up.

39. I'm probably the only person on earth who thinks that Gone With The Wind is an awful movie. Bad casting. Bad acting. Bad script. Bad effects. Bad editing. Just all the way around bad. . .

40. I think that the Wizard of Oz is going to forever remain one of the greatest movies ever. For 1939, the special effects, costumes, scenery, etc. were magnificent.

even for now! ;)

41. I'm going to get immature here for a minute, I just LOVE Shrek. Eddie Murphy's donkey is an absolute scream!

42. My favorite Disney film is "Alice In Wonderland"

43. I was a big Cindarella fan myself.

44. I have had pet parakeets for most of my life.
Since living in this house, (seven years), I have lost 3 of them.
:(
I have a little "Parakeet Cemetary" out in my rose garden by one of my bird baths.
I lost one just last October.
I have one now, a male, his name is Mango and he really misses the one that we lost.
Her name was Pepper Ann and boy, she was a MEAN one!!
She really hen-pecked Mango, but he still loved her.

Boy, talk about your dysfunctional bird romances. . .

45. I have a cairne terrier. His name is Smokey. He's sort of Odie from Garfield, he has a tendency to run into walls without provocation.

When I was in high school My dad and I went to the movies to see Bugs Bunny Superstar. We loved it We're big Bugs Bunny fans. Now at the age of 73 he likes to watch South Park and the Simpsons with me and his teenage grandchildren. He's the youngest in his family and so am I. By choice my dad will never quite grow up and since I take after him neither will I. :p lol

Terry

47. I can crochet, but do not know how to knit.

49.)
My kitchen table has always been a small mountain of papers. When I NEED to clean, and find stuff...I make piles according to where I need to put the papers. All that seems to ever really get accomplished is I throw the garbage away...inevitably, something distracts me and the papers re-group. Ug.

Oddly enough, whenever I do get the table completely cleaned off, it just seems too "naked"...can't figure that one out.

(I am in the process of cleaning the table. It is mandatory for the next couple days as I am having people over for my son's birthday party tomorrow)

50. I have saved EVERY single greeting card that has been given to me since I was 10 years old.
I keep them in big scrapbooks.
I have a HUGE greeting card "fetish".
I LOVE them and even collect vintage greeting cards

53. I can relate Lynn, trust me. When in college training for my Crim Psych degree we were able to go to several symposiums on thinking inside a killer's mind. They literally walked us through how to commit a murder and not get caught. We also got to spend a few days at the body farm which, twenty years ago, before it was famous, was pretty dang cool..... (okay, so etomology interests me...)

I do the same thing Lynn,
As a writer, if one is to pose any kind of "mystery",
one must first plot the murder.
I am more attracted to mystery type scenarios and so I tend to
dream up murders and crime to write about.

I think we are all facinated with murder, thus the popularity of
TV shows such as "CSI", which is one of my favorites.

You are not strange or alone at all!
You'd probably be amazed at how many of us do the same thing!

54. The "Green River Killer" lived not far from where I grew up and I also went to school with a girl who's sister was murdered by Ted Bundy

55. Cool Sage - I know what you mean. And, one of the guys I went to college with who actually stuck with it was one of the many BSU guys who consulted on the GreenRiver case.

56) Most people think that shues is my last name. (Because of my email address shues@nauticom.net) However, it's a mutated shorterned form of my last name. (Those that have my home address, know this)....

Shues is a nickname I had in school. Shues or Shueballs were most common. My other nicknames include Dick, Danny Boy and most recently "Sam" and "Boomstick"...

I have multiple personalities, so it seems. *LOL*

57. I'm a closet perfectionist. . .although, by looking at my desk, one couldn't tell.

58. My next-door neighbor used to play bass in Loretta Lynn's band. He still has friends in Nashville who are big names in the country music industry who stop by and play music with him from time to time.

59. I have a plant that has grown in water for 27 years... never been in soil at any time.

60. I have never been drunk in my entire life.

61. I believe in reincarnation

62. I believe in reincarnation, too!

63. Ed Gein lived 7 miles from where I grew up as a child. The woman he killed and strung up like a deer, was my grandmothers best friend.

64. I agree with Whiterose and Sage....I too believe in reincarnation! Past lives and karma as well!

65. I don't believe in reincarnation - why bother to come back and do it all again if I can't get it right the first time!

66. My great-grandfather used to be a beekeeper.

67. My grandfather ran gold during prohibition.

68) When I was a lil Dan_Shues....I wanted at different times, to be a train engineer, a wrestler and a race car driver.

Now, I loveto work with computers!

But, my secret dream....would be to try, at least once, to try improv comedy (like Whose Line is it Anyway?)

69)
When I was a wee girl I wanted to be a lorry driver - I'm now a forklift driver - so I guess I'm almost there!

70. Back when I was a little Molly, I wanted to be a chiropractor. . .thank God I got over that!

Um sorry the chiropractor thing left me a bit speecheless ( a miracle I'm sure) .............

When I'm nervous I get the most intense hiccups.......

71/ i once drove a cab and pissed myself when i was stuck i traffic

Ah, is there a problem with wanting to be a chiropractor? We already had six nurses in the family. . .oddly enough, I ended up with the LPN cert and a degree in psychology and don't use either of them - it certainly helped with medical based storylines!

72. Right after I left the ex, I had a brief fling with a former client who is now a voiceover character on a nationally syndicated animated television series.

No not a problem just hear bones crunch when I hear that word!! LOL and it's not the norm for wee girls really - not like a ballerina lol

73) I can wrap both legs round my neck the OTHER way...

LOL I wasn't your normal wee girl. <G> And ow, that's gotta hurt.

74. I used to be terrified to drive on freeways. . .then I had to spend a week in LA for a book tour without a driver - I can now speed along with the rest of them.

75. About 30 years ago, I was a huge fan of roller derby. Is there still such a thing?

I jumped out of a tree once with an umbrella thinking I'd float like Mary Poppins...guess what??...it didn't work...

aaaw Thunder, what happened to your pic?...
(did you break anything on that fall?):)

77. I did the same thing Thunder,
when I was about 6 or 7 years old.
No umbrella though.
I did a header out of a very tall tree, right in front of my friends.
I broke my nose, (badly), and had 2 of the biggest shiners you ever did see.
I still have a little bump on the bridge of my nose because of that stunt.

Whiterose-
The Roller Derby is still around and making a come back from what I hear....

No umbrella though.
I did a header out of a very tall tree, right in front of my friends.
I broke my nose, (badly), and had 2 of the biggest shiners you ever did see.
I still have a little bump on the bridge of my nose because of that stunt.




That bump will always be a reminder Sage.....we were'nt meant to fly or float through the air...lol...btw.....how did they score you for that 1 and 1/2 header with a twist...lol...

Oh, they gave me a rousing standing ovation and wanted me to do it again!
LOL

78? One of my favorite sport that I would participate in a heartbeat would be "Beach Volleyball". I remember when I participated in a company party...I pulled a "Dig" with my left fist and my bosses and co workers couldn't believe that I did it and it went over the net! I am a killer server and I need to practice on my "overhand" serve. I am good when it comes to underhand serves. I can't wait to play beach volleyball again :)

79. I LOVE to watch beach volleyball - - -especially if it's a bunch of well tanned, long haired, Native guys. . .oops, sorry, gotta stop drooling in public!!

(ppssst, hey Tyg, how about those Packers today!!!)

Molly,

Yay!

80. I have an unhealthy obsession with cheese. You might call me a connoisseur of cheeses.

http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/healthykids/resources/cheese.gif

81. I was in a small 15 ft boat with a pod of whale, (Orca), swimming around us for about 20 to 30 minutes.
It's an experience impossible to describe.
Inspirational.
They truely are one of God's most gentle
and amazing creatures

82. I've never been fishing.

83. I'd love to raise pigmy goats

84. Cool. I'd love to have Feinting Goats

84. I am sitting here and it's 23 below zero out. I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore. . .

86. My Mom and I tried to straighten my hair when I was about 14.
Well, it ALL ended up breaking off at the roots.
It was the worst experience of my life!

87. It's 6 degrees out, and I suddenly feel great about it.

87. The BEST sex I ever had was camping with a mammouth thunder and lightening storm right over-head.

89. Thinks making love in the outdoors is the closest thing to heaven that you can get on earth.

90. I have never been in a tanning bed

91. I did not lose my hair when I went through chemo last year. But, when I went to have my hair colored, it turned this really wild burgandy color. Everybody loved it, they thought that I'd done it on purpose!

92. I have never shoplifted.
My friends did and a couple of them got caught.
I was just to scared to take the chance.

Hahha - sounds as disasterous as my wedding night! My lovely groom got into a fight at the wedding reception and I was pretty much ordered to take him to bed. I was the only sober person there as I was 6 months pregnant and I cried myself to sleep too :(

Guess we should have known it was an omen of things to come huh?:confused:
Dee xx

LOL!

LOL! :D

95) I forgot my veil and mys sister got really confused when she went to help me with it! And the vicar forgot my name TWICE!

97) I alway come off as looking hispanic. But i'm a mixture of filipino and caucasian.

98) Eating a whole raspberry and peach pavlova with my fingers for breakfast makes me feel sick and makes my keyboard sticky!

LOL yup

I have been married 3 times an have never spent a wedding night with my new husband LMAO

First wedding we had to stay with his dad's house an his mother banned us from sharing a room whilst she was in the house, she was there for 2 weeks LOL , I shared a room with his sister LMAO

2nd Marriage my adorable 3 year old daughter was very sick after eating everything in sight at the reception so we spent the night looking after her :( not what we had planned at all :( :( :( we made up for it later tho ;) kids when to stay with their aunt for a week ;)

3rd Marriage .... he stayed up all night drinking, I rarely saw him sober in the evenings after we were married, was all my fault of course LOL

4) I HATE housework!!! Sitting here thinking "Who lives in this pig sty" and realising I do LOL!! Why isn't there a housework fairy??? :(
Dee xx

Me too Dee! I think the reason I actually NEED a man is so I have to clean the place up from time. I am mostly a clutterer. When I go to a girlfriend's house it is always so neat and clean - a place for everything anad everything in its place! My friend told me she had taken down all her curtains and cleaned all the curtain rods and their little hardware thingys - took them off the wall and soaked them. Washed all the windows, inside and out. Taken all the knobs off her kitchen cabinets and soaked them and cleaned the cabinets inside and out and was mad at her husband because he only cleaned two windows and mopped the floors.

Poor guy!

But my place is eclcetic, interesting, warm, and yes, messy. I don't know how someone can keep their flat surfaces so tidy as most of my friends. It's just not in me. Maybe I have AADD or something. Maybe there is a medication that would make me more organized!

Anyhow, what are we talking about here-

Oh, yeah

5) I'm trying to quit smoking today? All the holidays are over. Smokes going up about 50cents a pack. Anyone else?

6. I love the mornings except when they are too cold.

7. It's a good thing babes and I don't live together because I consider myself a perfectionist too. Most people just call me eccentricc.

8. I have tons of candles, just can never remember to light them!!

I live in one of those Eclectic pigstys too :) :D Life is too short to dust books an candles an all the other junk I have littering my home :D Those of my friends that have seen this place liken it to a Curiosity shop :D

9) 9 is my Birth number :D I have studied most of the predictive arts :D

10) I do yoga every day ( when I can get my butt off this computer chair ;))

Dee xx

11) I meditate every day about 15 minutes in the evening.

12)I love mornings too. The most sensual time of day for me. Nothing cerebral except where my mind has gone on its own without prompting from the daytime abby. And mornings with someone in bed there, spooning me, waking up, things coming to life.......yeah I love morrning!

13. I detest housework too, (but do it).
My house has areas that get rather cluttered with papers, books and other type things, but never filthy things.

Now my vehicle on the other hand is a different story-
I keep my vehicle immaculate.
My biggest pet peeve is a car littered inside it with fast food bags, junk and other crap.
I can't stand the gas gauge getting less than a quarter of a tank either and I clean the inside of my car daily and the outside gets a washing weekly, (my kids do it for me).

14. While I keep my PT Cruiser clean, I did not used to keep my Honda clean. Sorry Sage, but I was one who let those fast food bags stack up when I drove my Honda. I sincerely think I did that as a way to get back at my ex-husband who always asked about that stupid car after we divorced as if it were his child, while it was ME who was making the HUGE monthly payments. We had just bought the car 8 months before I booted him out for having an affair.

One time when I let the trash pile up in it, he made a snide remark to me about it, so after that, I made it a point for the car to look trashy just so I could turn my nose up and tell him it was none of his business and I could keep MY car as trashy as I liked!!:p

15. I would love to buy an SUV. . .I just can't justify buying a vehicle that would cost more than my house! :)

16. I will not eat, or even try Sushi

17. I love sushi and try to eat it whenever i have the chance

18. I once consumed a dollars worth of pennies when I was younger. At the time I figured it was a good place to keep them just in case I needed them. Of course I later learned that wasn't such a great idea.

I quite like sushi as well, but only in moderation.

19. I can do 10 back-flips in a row.

My last car, bought 3 years ago, cost more than my first house did in 1985.

Worse -- an ex b/f owned a car that cost the same as the house I own now!

Oh sage, you are a chef and you live in Seattle, how can you say such a thing!?!? Sushi is the manna of the gods.

On that theme:

23. I ate raw crab on a beach in Hawaii in November.

25. I joined a health club today.

26.)
This next semester I will be taking a Fencing class.....for relaxation!

27. I stood on a mountaintop in Austria, and sang "Edelweiss". I am absolutely NOT making this up.

Kye

28. I write to relax.

29. About 14 years ago my mother and I drove to Maine to visit my brother. We decided we wanted to stop and see Niagara Falls along the way. Neither of us had been there. It was getting pretty late in the evening and nearly dark when we arrived there. So, it was difficult to see any signs, and the traffic was heavy. We were both nervous wrecks, afraid we'd get lost. I remember we ended up in a neighborhood and we stopped to look around and we both saw this huge mist rising up over the rooftops. We followed the mist until we found it and that was Niagara Falls. I just always thought it was so cool how we found it... not by signs, but by following the mist. We only stayed about 45 minutes -- just long enough to see the falls just prior to nightfall. It was magnificent.

30. That is SO cool Whiterose - when my youngest was 6 mos old we drove out to Maine to see my family and on the way back WE stopped at Niagra Falls too! Only it was day time so it wasn't hard to find. <G> It was SO pretty. I'd like to get back there some day. . .

31. i'm actually much more mature than people assume.:cool:

32) I'm actually far less mature than people assume!! hehehe!

33. I can't stand cottage cheese.

Me neither, Molly. That and tapioca pudding make me ill just thinking about them.

34) I just finished an online defensive driving course. I get a ticket almost every year, but I've never had one go on my record.

35) I can drive but I won't take my test as I am scared I'll kill someone if I drive!! *blushes*

37. When I was a little girl, my mother used to make us waffles with chocolate syrup, rather than maple syrup. It was soooooooo good! :p

38. I love dill pickle potato chips! (w/o cottage cheese, of course) <G>

39. I think I met the Unibomber once, in a parking lot in Ohio...it was weird. It was before I knew who he was. He was passing out copies of this thing...his manifesto??? I kicked myself for years for not saving it. I threw it away when I got home.

Kye

40. When my oldest son was small we would frequently have the same dreams. At night he would call out. I woke up remembering for example a dream of bugs under a log, millions of bugs and worms.

I went into his bedroom to comfort him and sobbingly he told me about a dream with bugs and millions of worms under a log.

This happened many times.

The same thing would happen to my youngest daughter and I. Or I would be thinking something about her that I needed to tell her and she would say....'did you say 'something?'. It was if we could hear the other one talking in their brain!

41) My Nana never has to telephone me - she sits thinking about me and for no apparent reason I just pick up the phone and dial her number - She gave up saying "I was just thinking about you and was gonna call you later" because it gets old after the 500th time!!

Dee xx

42. I may have posted this earlier in this thread, but it's gotten so big I can't remember! :( But. I have always had very perceptive abilities. When I was 10 years old, my grandmother and I were visiting her brother in Minnesota. We were preparing to go boating on the lake. I heard the phone ring in the kitchen and I immediately said to my grandmother, "Pappaw's dead". I don't know why... it just came to me. Sure enough, it was a phone call telling us that my great-grandfather (my grandmother's father) had died.

43. Same here.
Especially between my Mother and myself and also my oldest daughter and me.
Call it a "Mother's Intuition" I guess...

I would be having troubles in my life and the phone would ring and my Mother would be on the other line and the first thing she would say after I answered the phone is "What's wrong?"

I have the same gut feelings when it comes to my daughter, Sarah.
I always get the urge to call her when she is having troubles.
I "just know".
My Mom says the same to me about it,
that she "just knows" when I am having hard times and need her to call me.

44. When I was a little girl, I caught 6 fish the first time my father ever took me fishing. I was using a cane pole. My brothers were using rods and reels and didn't catch a fish at all that day. :D

45. I still have my wisdom teeth.

(although, tonight i wish i didn't, i think it's time to take a jaunt to the dentist!!)

46. I still have my wisdom teeth, too, and plan on keeping them right where they are.:p

47. I love sliced bananas and maple syrup on French toast
YUM!

48. I'm really a woman.:cool:

49. When I was about 5 years old, I fell into a sewer and went all the way under! I remember somebody pulling me out and saying "ewwwwwwww".

50. I was very athletic as a young girl -- cheerleading, softball, volleyball, basketball, and track.

51. I rode on the crane ball all the way to the top of a 100 foot tower without throwing up or letting go!

52. My youngest son, who is now 8, didn't have any type of fast food until he was 5 years old.
I just don't buy fast food and even now, I rarely feed my
son fast food, (he might get it once every couple of months or so).
He wishes I did-
but it's just too unhealthy of a diet to have often.

Bulaaaaa!!!!!

53. I was valedictorian of my high school... and lettered in football and lacrosse.

56) It seems strange, as argumentative as I am, but I hated debate class. It seemed so tedious.

57. I have a strange phobia about
taking pills.
Little coated pills don't bother me much,
but the big old horse pills are hard for me to get down.
I have this strange ritual I do before taking bigger sized
pills- and yes, I do halve them if they are too big.
I guess I have a "choking complex".

58. I cannot stand the taste of beer.

59) I've changed many people's minds about beer. J.W. Dundee's Honey Brown and New Belgium's Fat Tire Ale consistently win over non-beer drinkers. I'm kind of a beer snob and have done a little homebrewing. I'd usually rather go thirsty than drink one of those watery mass-produced American lagers.

60. I don't care for the taste of beer either,
but detest the taste of wine more.
There hasn't been one wine that I've tried
that I have liked.
It's ALL wicked tasting to me.
And yes, I have had the "finer" wines.

i thought i was the only one that wasnt able to find a wine that tasted good...

61) throughout my life i've had:

1. cat at 4 dissapeared at 11. had another one from 12 died last june.
2. turtles at 11, guess they comitted "turtle suicide" cause i found them upside down in the water.
3. had 2 parakeets at 10. then Disappeared...was told they died cause of the cold weather in the patio.
4. had a lhasa apso("mop dog") at 11 but had to give it away five moths later because everoyones out of the house early in the morning and wouldnt be back till in the evening. making it hard to care for it. I still regret giving it away.
5. had plenty of hamsters at 14 but cat some how got to their cage... and i had to pick up their remains. i didnt even know they were my hamsters at first. my cat often likes to kill birds or mice and bring them to me.
6. had about 20 rats at 6, but was too young to care for them. primarily my father cared for them. eventually we just set them free or gave them to the pet store.

so in conclusion....i love animals but fate of animals does not love me....

62. The only years when I did not have a pet were while I was in college.

in college right now and have no pets...

64. The most pets I have had at one time is about 15 years ago, I had 3 dogs, (big dogs), 5 cats, 3 parakeets, a tank full of fish and my son had a hamster.
I lived in a 3 bedroom house with a postage-stamp for a yard.
It was.....interesting.

65. I too have had lots and lots of pets all my life(and still do) including a couple of raccoons named Martha and Pedro. But the pet that has been with me the longest is my African Grey parrot named Tony.....he's been a part of my life now for 25 years!




Dabrake

66. When I was married, my ex-husb and I had 5 aquariums. Two in the living room and one in each bedroom.

I have a cat who refuses to leave the basement. He literally lives down there.

69. If we're talking about pets, I have 10 lions, 15 tigers, 38 bears, 2 hens, 3 geese, 4 ducks, 198 pigs, 79 cows, 98 parrots, 71 roosters, 88 elephants, and 9,592,283 pigeons. Let's see anyone top that!:)

70. This thread is so long that I haven't bothered to read most of it. :p

(Yet. I will soon)

71) I have a real deep love for Horror Movies. Older one's and obscure one's. My latest "seek and buy" mission I am on, is to obtain a movie entitled "Zombie" by Lucio Fulci...it is supposedly the best zombie movie to be made....

72)

IF were still on pets here, I grew up with 17 cats and 10 dogs. We used to take in abused and abondened animals. We would nurse them back to hell and try to find GOOD homes for them, but alot of times we would get to attached and they would get attached to us, and well they ended up living the rest of their lives with us :}

Me too Dan!
:p

73. I also have a thing for flicks where creatures
run amuck, like "Jaws", "The Blob' and "Kingdom of the Spiders".
Just yesterday we watched "Lake Placid".
That movie cracks me up!
Betty White is in it, and she is a hoot!
I don't care how bad the acting is in those kinds
of flicks, I'll rent them and watch them.
If I like it well enough, I'll even buy it!

74. I have been diagnosed with Attention Defecit disorder and that's one of the principle reasons why I am aloof around women.

I loved reading this incredibly long thread. I had no idea it was so freaking long and then I couldn't stop.

So here are some tidbits:

I believe in good ghosts and am constantly alert for beloved family members to come back - so far - none!

I did every drug imaginable in my teens and twenties. Thank God I lived. I mean EVERY drug.

I once was driving down the freeway as a teenager when the hood of my car flew up into the window. I was very stoned however so it was not too bad.

I am a horrible clutterer. I had an emotional breakdown this weekend though which is a big deal. I cried and finally asked for help from Greg. Never, ever cry so I broke pretty bad. Anyway he has been helping alot and will continue this week to help me unbury myself.

Someone described the tables of paper - whewy! That's me.

I have no tattoos and no body piercings.

I can have an orgasm at the drop of a hat - lucky me. Never been a faker except for in my early days.

I forgot to do the number thing. Someone help me; what number is it?

Cindy

75. you believe in good ghosts
76. you did every drug imaginable
77. drove once on a free way stone w/your car hood flown up
78. had a break down but are working on getting through it.
79. no tatoos or body piercings.
80. Can have an orgasm at the drop of a hat.

personally i like number 80:D

81. I think Kiss was better without the makeup musically and live in concert.
