I'll have to think up some more!

[Anita Cholaine]

- I always feel like my hair and nails grow way too fast.

[Toby's my baby]

Wow, interesting thread, I love reading about people.

Some things about me...

-I'm also a little afraid of the dark, mostly because you used to be able to hear mountain lions "roaring" after dark, I always hold one of the dogs if I forget to do something and have to go outside.

- I have two birthmarks, my own, and my twin sisters. :D

- I have had 5 or 6 surgeries *can't remember* many many x-rays, 2 mri's, and 3 ekgs (i think that is what they are called)

- Even though I have had plenty of surgeries and problems, I think I've taken a total of ONE perscription pain pill that the doctor gave me. I try my best to stay away from "un-natural medications."

-When playing a sport or doing something by myself in front of people, I always feel pressured to be good/the best, and freak out sometimes *example: like passing the ball at a dumb time, stopping dead in my tracks for no apparent reason*

- I had an anxiety attack during a basketball game...very scary :eek:

- I walked on a shattered ankle for over a year before the stupid doctors could figure out what was wrong..:rolleyes:

- I am obsessed with smelling candles in the store, but I have none in my room

- I love little kids, especially kids with physical/mental problems, but older people with mental problems scare me

- My dad told me the whole time I was growing up I was adopted...though I'm really not

-I rarely eat breakfast except for those few days that I have to get up before 7

-I have recently became obsessed with water, I always have a water with me and some in the fridge.

[.sarah]

- I'm a vegetarian.
- I am allergic to perfumes, candles, deodorants, etc. and get migraines when I smell them. I have to hold my breath around those aisles in the stores.
- I let people walk all over me for most things, but when it comes to animals (and a few other things), I stand up for what I believe in.
- I eat breakfast almost every morning. I am starving when I wake up!
- I eat a lot of small meals throughout the day. I went on a diet a few years ago and ever since I haven't been able to gorge like I used to (probably a good thing).
- I love to bake and cook, and will be majoring in culinary in college.
- I love photography.
- I am an optimist in every sense of the word. I almost always focus on the good in everything.
- I have very few friends because I believe in quality not quantity.

[Alysser]

Very cool thread, and I love reading it. I got plenty so here we go.

-I have a heart condition, and I have to go to the hospital once a year to get a check-up, but alot of my friends don't know because I HATE talking about it and then they'll probably give me a pity party(WHICH I CAN'T STAND). I had Open Heart Surgery and I'm going to the hospital this month... :(

-I don't want to get married, and don't want to have kids, but I would like to adopt a child.

-I have had twenty-six stitches thanks to my Open Heart Surgery.

-I am very afraid of the dark and when I'm up very high and I look down I get all nervous and I bug the person I am with to go down.

-I am 25% Irish but I don't look it at all. People say I have the map of Italy on my face.

-I was born in Staten Island.

-I sleep under my comforter every night, even in the summer. I don't know why, but it makes me feel safer.

-I hate my room color and my mom just changed it last year. :o

-I want to work with big cats when I grow up.

-I LOVE roller coasters.

- I love the smell of gasoline lol. :o

[carole]

I am also afraid of the dark.

I sleep at nights with a fan going summer and winter, to drown out other noises so i actually can get some sleep, have a sleep disorder so don't sleep too well most nights.

I have a fear of heights, and am social phobic, I have fibromyalgia.

I love to play practical jokes, harmless ones and sure don't mind them being played back on me.

I love entering competitions but only online or by radio, no face to face ones, and i am pretty darn lucky and have had some awesome wins.

I love to sing and dance but usually only in the privacy of my own home, too shy otherwise.

Cannot think of much else really.

[Lizzie]

I've found this a very interesting thread to read even though, I must admit, I didn't think it would be. So, my turn:

I love total silence, even need silence for periods of time.

I'm a reader. If I don't have a book to read, then I'll read cereal packets, condiment bottles, phone book, whatever.

I used to love taking the family dog for a walk in my teens and twenties in total countryside darkness, as long as there was a moon of course.

I've overcome my fear of heights, modified my fear of rodents, but I'm still very claustrophobic. I get anxious if I'm confined by circumstances, I find even that claustrophobic.

I love boats and sailing but can't swim since I'm terrified of being in water; I just stop breathing and black out.

I love food. I don't eat much, I don't gorge myself, I just love the taste of all kinds of food. I'm inclined to say "Hmmmmmm" out loud, eyes closed, when I'm tasting something good, even in public.

I've been vegetarian for nearly 20 years and eat only tiny amounts of dairy.

I'm a creature of total constrasts. I'm capable of sacrificing comforts and even essentials to do something I've decided needs doing. And I'm capable of very hard physical work. I'm also a hedonist who loves luxury and laziness, revels in just lying on a sofa for hours with the late afternoon sun shining across me, surrounded by cats and with a mug of tea and some good chocolate. I always, but always, take time out to smell the roses, and the sweet peas, and the honeysuckle, and the mock orange, etc. etc.

I am far more likely to be patient with animals who are sick or needy than I am with people.

I have a passion for earrings though all other kinds of jewellery annoy me. I even decided not to have a wedding ring.

[dogzr#1]

- I am the youngest child, with three older brothers

- I have Emetophobia, or the fear of vomiting

- I eat MANY times a day and am always hungry.

- I am taller than my mom

- I get annoyed easily, well kind of.

- I am obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean (lol)

- I have a slight stigmatism.

- I have never bitten my nails.

- I can't skip a meal, or go too long without food. ( my brothers tease me saying I have worms because I eat constantly, but don't gain much weight)

- I don't really like dresses, or dressiness. ( if that's a word :p )

- I can't swallow pills :o


I have to think for some more

[joanofark]

I have my black belt in Karate
I have strange obbsessions over things like Narnia, cookie dough, grammer, Disney, and Twizlers.
I remember 99% of my dreams by morning
I like the smell of fuel!!
I went to elementary school 'till 4th grade, was homeschooled for three years, now I'm going back.
I used to H-A-T-E cats.
When I was 4 I thought I was a ninja.
I'm catholic.
I want to be an Author/writer.
I love singing, but I hate my voice.
I've never seen the disney movie, Pocahontes (Sp?)
I hate shoes with arches?! But I'm not flat-footed.
I've never had a full-grown dog under 50 pounds.
I hate fishing.

[slick]

I was born in the area I currently reside in and was 9 lbs. 5 oz. (ouch!)

I have no fears or fobias.

I'm not allergic to anything.

I never wear makeup and I don't colour my hair.

I'd rather receive a warm hug from a best friend than an expensive gift from an acquaintance. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve...which is not always a good thing.

Material possessions mean nothing to me.

I hate shopping.....food, clothes, or otherwise.

I only own 4 pairs of shoes and 5 work outfits. The rest of my clothes are T's and shorts. I have absolutely nothing to wear to a fancy restaurant, in fact I hate dressing up altogether.

I also don't do jewellery and anything else that's "girly" or "poofty".

I am extremely shy and very uncomfortable in big crowds. You will often find me in another room, on the front porch, or cleaning the kitchen just to avoid all the people. ;)

I do, however, enjoy being with a small group of 5 or less.

I am very hard to get to know. You will have to chip away at the thick wall for a long time before I will let you in, but once you've become my friend, you will have my friendship and loyalty forever. I guess you could classify me as a feral.....very hard to trust people at first but once comfortable, will be with you forever.

I love music and dance and can't drive without listening to a CD or the radio, but as much as I love music, I detest loud booming stereos. :mad:

When I was a kid, I took ballet for 9 years..quit when I was 14. I even started to do the tippy-toe thing in a tutu. :D

I was in all the plays in high school. If I could do it all over again, I would pursue an acting career.

I have been single since 1994 and plan to remain single and dateless. Men are too much trouble in my opinion. **ducks to avoid getting hit**

I've always had the opinion that marriage and children do not make a women "whole" and I've avoided both for many reasons.

...and now as I embark on a new journey, I finally know the meaning of "live like you are dying."

So there it is, in no particular order.

[I_luv_rusty]

-I was a Girl Scout from 2nd grade to 7th grade.

-I hate when people stare at you, or when someone is talking about you and you total know they are.

- I've never worn makeup, I can't stand the stuff

- I've never had a boyfriend...I have no interest, most people think I'm weird because of that

- I don't like being in the dark by myself...if I have to walk around in the dark when everyone is in bed, Tango comes with me (I wouldn't call it a fear, not really sure what it is)

also what i am into and like.. im REALLY into and like it.. whatever it is.
i take my hobbies and stuff i enjoy seriously... maybe.. a little to seriously.. :o

[Miss Z]

*I've always lived in the same house
*I'm not really afraid of anything, but tornados kind of give me the creeps

* I won a scholarship for my school

* I speak French and German
* I am a Manchester United fan
* I am an atheist
* I knew all my times tables up to twelve before I turned 4

[Queen of Poop]

I was named Gayle because I was born during a blizzard in Winnipeg in November of 1965, almost got called Blizzard or Stormy. They settled on Gale (a big wind) and put a Y in the middle.

I am 5 feet tall and 100 lbs at age 40, same as I was in high school.

I weighted in at 4 lbs 6 oz when I was born.

I've had pets all of my life and will continue to do so.

My younger brother and sister both died 20 years ago this year. Both car accidents, 3 months apart.

I had surgery in April of this year to remove a mass from my left breast, I'm fine and glad it is over.

I currently have one dog (Sasha) and one ferret (Sebastian), they are the loves of my life.

I love football and hockey.

I love to cook, hate to eat.

I've been coloring my hair (lighter) since I was 17, when I found the first of many grey hairs.

[cmayer31]

I was born very premature and had to be in one of those inclosed plastic cribs after I was born and my parents couldn’t take me home.

I learned to run soon after walking and ran face first into a TV and needed stitches above my eye. The same day that the doctor took my stitches out I fell out of a wagon, pulled by my brother, and had to go back for more stitches in the same spot.

I had a teacher refer to me as a human sponge. I retain most of what I hear and rarely have to study. However, if I don’t use things that I learned I forget them after a week or so.

Due to the above fact, I can’t stand comprehensive finals.

I pre-worry about everything .

I enjoy the company of friends, but often need to be alone.

I place my pets needs above the needs of other humans and often myself.

I love seafood!

I can’t stand anything near my eyes, so have never used eye drops.

I’d rather be outside than inside.

I’ve never lived outside of Southern California.

When surfing or riding jet skis in the ocean I do everything possible to prevent my feet from dangling in the water.

I won’t go in the water for days and sometimes weeks after watching Jaws.

[mruffruff]

I am a grandmother of one and don't want to change that to more. Stefanie's going to be 11 on Wednesday and she's all I need.

I am not crazy about kids, but love cats and dogs.

I avoid crowds. I like people, but only a couple at a time. At gatherings, I'm the one in another room or outside, alone.

I really like to construct things. I have a lot of tools and a sewing machine for my projects.

I'm not into music much but like "Old Time Rock & Roll" best.

Marriage/relationships don't interest me. I like my own company. As my sister says, "you better. After all, wherever you go, there YOU are".

I'm very industrious. Always doing something. Or reading.

Opinionated, but willing to change my opinion if facts warrant.

Impatient

Pragmatic

[Flatcoatluver]

-I'm vegetarian
-My favorite animal is elephants
-I want to be taller, I'm 5'8
-I love watching Ellen's talk show
-I love pepsi
-I have garden burgers almost everynight. (love them)
-In 3 years I am getting a standard poodle
-My biggest fears are snakes, I cry when I see them
-I work at a dog kennel

-I am a junior

[Cataholic]

Mary, we are the same person! :eek:

I played soccer from the time I was 5-25, and can't really do a single other sport.

I am deathly afraid of snakes(even though Cathy B has been helpful with that).

I. Love. Cats. All kinds, and tried to give my father one as a gift for his birthday when I was about 12 or so. Didn't work. :(

I still, on occasion, will 'scoot' up the basement stairs quickly in the evening. :o

I have had 4 knee surgeries, broken a collarbone, wrist, finger, and had several other surgeries.

I subscribe to the theory, "if they make a medication to make things or me feel better, give me the prescription" (no martyring here, folks).

I need lots of sleep, and fresh air at night time (which makes sleeping in the a/c kind of tough).

I have no allergies, food intolerances, etc., and have NEVER been too sick/tired/busy to eat. :D

I am afraid to have lasik done, hate wearing glasses, and my contacts bug me.

I **need** to bleach my teeth. :o

And, finally? I HATE to shower. (Poor Kay, we can never really be married, eh?) :p

[My Peanuts]

Let's see....

I was 6lbs 15oz when I was born.

I was born with long finger nails and eye lashes so the doctors think I was in the oven longer than first thought.

I will take a sick pet to the doctor right away, even taking off work to do so, but I wait until I have to go for myself.

I am VERY allergic to cats.

My left pinky finger has a line like and extra joint, but it doesn't bend.

I learned my left from my right from the above, and I sometimes still check my left finger to make sure it's the left.

I had Lasik surgery a year and a half ago.

My absolute favorite color is and always has been pink.

In some ways I'm a girly girl, but in others I'm a tomboy.

I love makeup and I wear a lot of eye makeup.

I only have one biological sibling, my older brother and he's gay. (When my mom says, "DI, ALL my friends are grandma's. What's the hold up?" I tell her to blame her son. Well he IS the older one! :p)

My aunt, mom's sis, died when I was 14 years old. She was like a 2nd mom to me. Her daughters, my first cousins, are like my sister's now. One lives with us when she's not away at school. One(the one that lives with us) is my age, 25, and the other will be 20 in November.

The above mentioned 25 year old cousin/sister is exactly to the day 3 weeks younger than I am. Our mom’s were pregnant together. 

That's it for now. :)

[lv4dogs]

I am VERY afraid of spiders & heights. (my only 2 phobias)

I used to DESPISE cats. (REALLY despise them, now I have 3)

I do not HATE anyone, it is too strong of a word. (I do dislike a few though)

I am not allergic to anything. (anymore, knock on wood)

I get social anxiety, sometimes so bad that I don't even want to talk to anyone on the phone or internet let alone in person, even with friends & family. Yet at the same time I *usually* do better in large crowds than smaller ones.

I weighed only 1.3 lbs at birth and was born 2 (I think) months early. I was in an & out of an incubator until I was 6 months of age.

I bite the skin around my nails but not my nails.

I do not like to talk on the phone.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE kids but can not deal with them on a daily basis.

I am always willing to help others yet rarely help myself.

[The_Duck]

In no particular order....

- I'm single and plan to stay that way forever. Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them.
- I fear heights. This probably came as a result from flying with my dad. :p He used to pretend that we were stalling out and were going to die. :rolleyes:
- I don't plan on having kids of my own (no husband = no kids), but would like to adopt.
- I'm not looking forward to graduating high school and have no current plans to attend a college.
- I love, LOVE, LOVE water and fire.
- I'm rather fond of the dark and like to sit outside at night, especially when it's pouring rain. :D
- I HATE rollercoasters.
- I've got red hair.
- I wear glasses. Had contacts once, but found poking myself in the eye twice a day to be too tiresome to keep up with.
- My skin is very pale. I once got asked if I glowed in the dark when walking under flourescent lighting. (sp?) :o
- I like small spaces as a rule. I think it makes me feel more safe or something *shrugs*
- I DO feel claustrophobic, however, when I'm in a crowd. Let's face it... people scare me. Sometimes it's hard to breath and I've got to get out. But I do well in a small group of friends. Then you just gotta try and hold me back. ;) :p
- There is seldom a day that goes by when at least two people don't tell me they think I'm strange/crazy. Maybe it has something ot do with my barking or the way I think it would be cool to own a straight jacket?
- I am a crime show junkie. I would list all of the shows I love to watch, but I don't think we have that much time. ;) :p

Ok, ok... enough about me then. It's been great to learn more about everybody. Great thread!

[My Peanuts]

!


This literally made me laugh out loud! :D

[Uabassoon]

Whenever I leave the house I'm always afraid that I forgot to lock the door.

I fall asleep better when I have the tv on.

I'm very short, I'm around 5'1".

I don't wear makeup and I keep my hair very short, however I love buying expensive hair products.

I'm the pickest eater ever. I have the eating habits of a stereotypical 5 year old. I don't like vegetables and I like my food very plain. When someone invites me to a restraunt I always check to see if I can find the menu online first before I accept the invitation.

[Pam]

I was 7 lbs. 13 oz. at birth and a C-section. My mom told me that they called me Powder Puff in the nursery at the hospital because I was so pale. :)

I am married and the mother of two grown children.

I am a grandmother of two little boys and they light up my life. :)

I am very organized and tend to be a list person, although that is to a fault because if I don't have my list around I forget everything. :rolleyes:

I hate clutter and actually enjoy keeping the house clean and neat.

I hate being around someone on a ladder or a roof. I am always afraid they will fall and I will see it. :eek: You could never get me on a ladder or roof for the same reason.

I am a *smart shopper* and almost never buy anything on impulse.

I need a lot of sleep (at least 8 hrs.) in order to feel good all day.

I love country music and have it on in the car 24/7.

[wolflady]

W00t! Another country music fan, I knew I liked you Pam ;)

It's been forever since I've posted on PT regularly, though I do still lurk from time to time. I thought this thread was interesting, so I thought I would post some of my somethings...*snicker*

1. I joined my high school marching band Senior year because a friend of mine told me they were going to Toronto! *snicker* I was a band addict after that and ended up as part of Purdue's All American Marching band
2. I play music by ear (I can't read music, though I pretend to)
3. I have a bad habit of biting my nails, and have only grown them out nice in a few occasions
4. I'm terribly scared of spiders and bugs...*shudders*...but give me rats and snakes anyday
5. I worked for a vet hospital for about a year and created for them a website which I still maintain for free :)
6. I don't care for children and am not sure if I ever want them, however I love animals and will always have them
7. I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school from 1st through 8th grade (and hated it, because the kids were so horribly mean to me)
8. I am a doormat, I tend to let people walk all over me for most things, but when it comes to animals I stand up for what I believe in
9. I have a hepa filter (air cleaner) and a sound machine running at night for "white noise" as it helps me to sleep. I can't sleep in utter silence, so a consistant calming sounds helps to relax me and also to drown out other noises so I actually can get some sleep.
10. I am NOT a morning person. I have always been a night owl, but working forces me to get up in the mornings, however reluctantly that might be. If I have less than 8 hours of sleep, I'll feel tired all day.
11. I love to read and am addicted to books and bookstores. I can easily spend 8 hours alone in a bookstore.

Ok, I'll stop for now... :o

I am terribly in love with my husband. (2nd marriage for both of us)

I am a proud mom of a 15 year old girl.

I cannot bear the thought of a snake being anywhere near me.

I am a pet lover........I can't ever have enough.

I have a beautiful cat boy, Butter, who was a stray. He decided to stay with me, bless his heart. :)

I have two beautiful Golden Retrievers, Honey and Lilly, who make my heart sing. They are both 7 years old. :)

I have Mack, who is a 4 month old English Bulldog. He is busy, busy, busy, but I love him so much.

I have two Cockatiels, Roger and Milly, who are determined to produce more babies. They are sitting on 5 eggs, right now.

I am highly allergic to something, although we don't know what, yet. I have had hives for almost two weeks now, every day.

I am a Christian. I attend my church, regularly. We celebrate the Christian fait at our United Methodist Church.

My husband I just took a trip to New York City. It was GREAT!!!!!! We saw our first Broadway show, and did many, many other things.

We have lost 3 pets in the last 7 months (Our Murphy (Lab girl), Zipper (Golden Boy) and Mimi (17 year old kitty friend).

[Cincy'sMom]

I am the oldest of 3, my brother passed away last summer at 27, and my sister is 24 and is also a PT member. My husband is the 4 child in a family of 5.

I have 2 nieces (ages 20 and 2.5) , 5 nephews (ages 15, 13, 12, 8 and 1 month), and 1 great niece or nephew on the way (due December 8).

I love sports. I haven't missed playing a softball season since I started playing in 3rd grade (22 years!). I also play soccer and volleyball. I also started taking dance lessons at when I was 23.

I am a HUGE Nascar fan (Go Tony!)

I am a HUGE football fan (Go Bengals!)

I love to read.

I have a degree in Biochemistry. I have two published articles, and two more in process (none as primary author). I spent 5 years as a research chemist, and now spend most of my day on the phone, working at an "inside" sales position, selling chemistry testing to medical device and pharmaceutical companies.

My husband and I were in the same place, at the same time many times before we ever met. We attended several of the same church groups gatherings in NW Ohio in High School, but met in college in Cincinnati. (Hence Cincy's name!)

I love to drive fast with the music loud, and the windows down.

I never got to meet my dad's parents. They both passed away before I born. My mom's parents are alive and doing very well at 88 and 86. This November will be their 67th wedding anniversary.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

This is a very interesting thread!

-I like the taste of stale graham crackers- I actually think they taste better that way because they are softer.
-I save all of my fortures from fortune cookies and tape them to my mirror. My favorite was one I got when I was 16 which says, "You will soon be crossing the great waters."
-My best friend recently got married- I was a bridesmaid in the wedding and the dress was HIDEOUS. But I didn't say anything. Even though it pained me to wear it. :p
-I've worked a lot of different jobs, and gotten to meet some interesting people. When I was 19, I worked as a janitor at a rest stop where you met some real characters.

- Music is my life. I can play the trumpet, baritone, french horn(though I prefer not to), electric bass, acoustic guitar, harmonica, clarinet, piano, and a few others.
- Most everyone that has already died in my extended family has either died from obesity or smoking. I have made a promise to myself to never become either one.
- Canoeing, Biking, Skateboarding, & Rollerblading are the only "sports" I enjoy doing.
- The only sport I like to watch is Sumo Wrestling.
- I don't have full hearing in my left ear.
- Sometimes I act completley unknowledgable when in a petstore, just to see the way they respond. :D
- I played teeball when I was little. I quit during the first game and sat down in the outfeild to draw in the dirt.
- I like going to cemetaries and reading the tombstones and wondering what kind of history is buried there.
- I'm very much an optimistic, despite what others think.
- I adore the smell of Gasoline & Coffee(though I don't like drinking it).
- Years ago, I got a teacher of mine to eat those dog treats that look like beefjerky, as they thought it was actual beefjerky.
- In 8th grade I got sent to the office for doing an oral book report on a sausage cookbook.

Ah.. I'll stop there^^.

[Dorothy39]

That was great to read , Chili.

I connected to a few of your traits.

Isn't Pet Talk fascinating??? You love rats, yet , I am afraid of them!!! :D (however, I adore mice) ;)

I don't like Hospitals either!!!

i love music and i play the ascoutic guitar !!!

I find poetry as the best way to release my feelings!!! :eek:

Cemetaries, Gasoline, Coffee, ----------- this thread is wild to read!!

[The_Duck]

You lucky ducks. I just remembered some other things to add. :p

- I LOVE reading. Most anything to do with animals (of coarse), but also a good Romance novel. I'd recomend Dee Henderson books to anybody out there. I havn't found one yet that I can easily put down.
- I can't sleep, or even read, without having my fan and radio on.
- I have had several idea for stories come into my mind, but find it nearly impossible to put them on paper.
- I go to school a full hour away from where I live.
- Popcorn is a food my life would be empty without... or at least my stomach. ;) :p
- I have never, nor will I ever, drink or smoke. Though I do not condemn those who do (I have a lot of family members that do), I do not understand why one would want to. I'll spare you the lecture on why.
- I'm a Country music fan and love Garth Brooks. We have booth 6 CD box sets. Yay, Garth!
- I'm the youngest of three children. One brother(19), one sister(21).
- My sister is four years older than me, to the day. That's right, I'm the best fourth birthday present ever. ;) :p
- My first dog ever was given to me on my fifth birthday. Her name was Patches and she was a Dalmatian / Yellow Labrador. The Labrador in her made the spots on her rear look blue. I miss her terribly even now and can't wait until sucha poin in time that I can get another Dalmatian, or Dalamatian mix.

[cyber-sibes]

* I LIKE SKUNK SMELL!!! :eek: :D yeah, you read right I´m such a weirdo (not that I like a skunk to spray me on the face, but I rather like the smell)LOL! oh Isabel, you'd REALLY love having Sherman around! He gets hit at least once a year.

OK, about me...

-I don't have many close friends, I'm friendly & enjoy talking to people, but I seem to be a loner in life.
-My dogs, books, and music are my companions. I deeply miss my RB Rosie, and my old cat Chow-Chow.
-I have two grown sons, they are wonderful young men. Both are gone from home now, I miss them. I especially enjoyed when they were young, we did so many fun things together. :)

-I love to draw & paint - always have, always will.
-I love celtic anything - artwork, legends & stories, instruments & music, clothes... if I could have a wish come true, I'd like to be a celtic musician.
-I'm pretty well addicted to siberian huskies. I've learned so much about sibes since getting Star & Sherman. I'm also partial to wolves & birds.
-I'm a good listener, and like to be helpful.
-I like having work to do.

Chilli, you sound like a really cool person. I go to cemetaries for the same reason. :)

[Suki Wingy]

[JenBKR]

-I belong to a Unitarian church and I'm athiest


Just curious, what is a Unitarian Church? I've never heard of that before :)

[Suki Wingy]

they're pretty much open to anything, any belifs or feelings. My mom says the belive Jesus and Budha were normal (mortal) people who just had really good ideas. I just googled their website: http://www.uua.org/
I'm surprised more people havn't heard of them
this is what the site says:
"With its historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion -- that is, a religion that keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have struggled with in all times and places. We believe that personal experience, conscience and reason should be the final authorities in religion, and that in the end religious authority lies not in a book or person or institution, but in ourselves. We are a "non-creedal" religion: we do not ask anyone to subscribe to a creed.

Our congregations are self-governing. Authority and responsibility are vested in the membership of the congregation. Each Unitarian Universalist congregation is involved in many kinds of programs. Worship is held regularly, the insights of the past and the present are shared with those who will create the future, service to the community is undertaken, and friendships are made. A visitor to a UU congregation will very likely find events and activities such as church school, day-care centers, lectures and forums, support groups, poetry festivals, family events, adult education classes and study groups. "

[Husky_mom]

LOL! oh Isabel, you'd REALLY love having Sherman around! He gets hit at least once a year.

-I don't have many close friends, I'm friendly & enjoy talking to people, but I seem to be a loner in life.

-I'm pretty well addicted to siberian huskies.
-I'm a good listener, and like to be helpful.

Thank you! I'm surprised I've never heard of that. Sounds interesting. I was just curious, I'm Christian myself but I always love hearing and learning about other beliefs :) It's sounds very warm and inviting :)

[K9karen]

what exactly is that? I'm wondering because I often mix up numbers without even realizing it, that's why I can fully understand the math and still get a whole bunch of things wrong.

Most people are dyslexic with words, reading backwards or transposing letters. I transpose numbers. I can't balance a check book without a calculator. I add instead of subtract and visa versa. I have to be extra careful. I can't do the 9x table at all. I have no clue why. Somethings doesn't click. Been this way all my life, had tutors and summer school. Thankfully I was never called stupid or dumb. My folks helped me, knowing something was wrong but back in the day, there wasn't a name for it. Having my wires crossed really messed up my SAT score.

Unitarian is interesting. I've been to a few Unitarian weddings.

[Zippy]

I thought of some more

-I am obsessed over three words/names i made up in 5th grade the names are clashatoneau,bethatoneau,and fastos

-I love to shop mostly for my pets
-My favorite shows are Grey's Anatomy,Friends,Yugioh,Bones,and Way of the Master
-I am very disorganized
-I love soda pop
-My favorite movies are Spirited Away and Mulan
-I love making lists

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Here goes!


I am left-handed. I was afraid of being left-handed while I was in elementary and middle school. People always told me I would die 10 years earlier than everyone else, and honestly, I think it scarred me a little. I never told anyone I was left-handed unless they saw me writing. I always batted right-handed, threw right-handed, everything. I hated standing out in gym class and other class that involved left-handers doing something "the other way". Now, I'm proud to be a leftie.
I have been told by many people such as my dad's friends that I am more mature than many adults they know.
I have a really really really strong bond with my cell phone. I just recently went through three days without it while we got new phones and a new plan, and it was REALLY hard, lmao.
I have a crush on my dad's best friend, whom is 42. He is one of the most amazing people I have ever met, and I can talk to him about anything. He almost always can make me smile, and he can make me laugh when I'm in the worst mood. Sometimes, his actions give way to me thinking he likes me too. He's married with 3 kids of his own, three states away, and has two step-children. His picture is in my signature.
I bite my nails AND the skin around my nails. My fingers are AWFUL. I actually had the photographer tell me in 4th grade that my hands couldn't be in the picture because I bite them too much.
I am a cutter, and have been for months. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit it, because I know how hard it is for people to understand. Me telling you this is not any form of a "plea for attention" or me "trying to be cool" or "wanting to be different". It's a confession. No one knows except my best friend, and that's because she does it too. I cut when I'm angry with myself or frustrated, and it comes in many forms, from simple things like digging my nails into the palms of my hands or hitting something, to shards of glass. I am extremely ashamed to admit this to you all. Cutting seems like the answer to your problems at the time, and even after you do it, it seems okay. But nearly every time after I've cut, I feel guilty. I feel guilty that I've done it this last time. It's like a horrible addiction that I can't stop.
I love bracelets. I'll have a bajillion on at a time if I can.
I am a people-pleaser. I never put myself first. I always try to make those around me happy before I make myself happy. I simply CANNOT put myself first, or even STAND UP for myself if it will make someone else I care about unhappy. Like the cutting. I could never tell ANYONE because I know they would be devastated and it would kill me.
Going along with that, I'd rather buy other people things than indulge myself in something I really want.
I have this black zip-up sweater that I wear ALL THE TIME. Whether it's -30 degrees or 104, I'll have my sweater.



This list could go on for miles, I'll stop for a while, lmao.

[joanofark]

Here goes!

I love bracelets. I'll have a bajillion on at a time if I can.

I'd die with out bracelets!! :p I never go without them!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I was born in upstate New York and moved to Florida when I was 13.

I have scoliosis and had to wear a back brace for 31/2 years.

I married my high school sweetheart when I was 18. Nobody thought we'd make it a year because we were "too young". We've now been married 6 years and we're still going strong.

I have social anxiety.

I'm left handed.

I love milk.

I currently own 2 houses (we're selling one and the other we just bought a few months ago).

I love tattoos and piercings, but my body has rejected all my piercings. I have 2 tattoos.

I hate almost all cartoons.

I love kids and want kids, but I don't like babies. I love seeing pictures of babies, I just don't like being around them.

I hate quiet and always have the TV on even if I'm not watching it. Except at night I prefer it quiet.

I prefer wearing skirts, even when doing house work. I often do wear pants though.

I don't like wearing a lot of make-up.

I hate going to a hair salon, so my hair usually ends up in a pony tail. I get it trimmed usually only once a year, before Christmas.

Thats all for now.

[k9krazee]

I love this thread, I just keep coming back! :D

I'm leaving in 6 days to go to school...I will be completely lost without my Hoodlums :( People have been asking me what my dogs are going to do without me...what about me? I don't know what I'll do without them.
I love huge groups of people, I feel a bit awkward in small groups.
I hate talking on the phone and avoid it at all costs.
I'm practically the only teenager I know who doesn't own a cell phone...or want one.
I absolutely hate driving new places, I'm horrible with directions (unless they're written) and get lost pretty easily
I always go out of my way to make sure other people are happy
My hair hasn't grown past my shoulders in about 4 years, and I've had the same hairstyle since then. I want a change, but I'm happy with how it's been and am afraid if I do something different I won't like it.
I absolutely hate confrontation
I'm horrible at staying in touch with people
I LOVE scary movies!
I don't go out of my way to talk to new people, but I do love meeting new people
I became certified as a lifeguard a couple years ago, and still go every year to renew my CPR and such, but I'm terrified of lifeguarding and came to the conclusion that I neve want to do it.
I have pretty low self confidence...and I hate attention being drawn to myself when I do something well
I'm not scared of heights, but I'm terrified of falling
I LOVE DDR (Dance Dance Revolution)...it is the best game invented...sooo much fun!
I love scuba diving. A couple years ago I went on a shark dive in the Bahamas...and ten minutes before we got in the water I cut my leg pretty badly. Needless to say I was terrified to get in the water, but I still did.
I'm a procrastinator...like right now. I'm leaving in 6 days and still haven't packed a thing. I'll probably wait until the night before.
I'm clueless when it comes to music.
I'm not the partying type, I'd much rather spend a quiet night at home watching movies or something
The only sport that I really enjoy playing is Ultimate Frisbee

[cloverfdx]

I LOVE DDR (Dance Dance Revolution)...it is the best game invented...sooo much fun!

[Edwina's Secretary]

I can't do the 9x table at all.

Karen...did anyone every show you a hand trick for your 9x tables?

Hold your hands out, palms down. Starting from the left...count off how many times 9 you need. For example...3 X 9...count to the third finger. Put that finger down....look at your hands and there will be two fingers..space seven fingers....27. Four times 9....count to the fourth finger, curl it under and you have 3 fingers...space... 6 fingers ....36!

My stepson taught me this!

[zippy-kat]

Karen...did anyone every show you a hand trick for your 9x tables?

Hold your hands out, palms down. Starting from the left...count off how many times 9 you need. For example...3 X 9...count to the third finger.

Four times 9....count to the fourth finger, curl it under and you have 3 fingers...space... 6 fingers ....36!

My stepson taught me this!


When I was in school, they taught us that you label down 1-9 starting at 2, then label up 0-9,0 starting at 10. I know that's a horrid explanation so...

0x9 = . 0
1x9 = . 9
2x9 = 1 8
3x9 = 2 7
4x9 = 3 6
5x9 = 4 5
6x9 = 5 4
7x9 = 6 3
8x9 = 7 2
9x9 = 8 1
9x10= 9 0

Not as quick as the hand trick but it helps you memorize them!

[dogzr#1]

Ok thought of some more

- I love to wear jewlery, but I hate earings.

- I love to wear jackets/ sweaters and wear them not matter the temperature.

- I am hooked on all sorts of forums. I am part of many, including PT (well duh! that one's obvious)

- I am pretty shy when it comes to meeting someone face-to-face, but on the internet, I'm not shy at all!

- I love taking pictures, but hate to be in them.

- I was a big time tomboy when I was growing up. Never played with dolls, instead played with beanie babies. Constantly got dirty or hurt playing with my brothers.

That's all for now. I'll try to think of more later.

[Suki Wingy]

Most people are dyslexic with words, reading backwards or transposing letters. I transpose numbers. I can't balance a check book without a calculator. I add instead of subtract and visa versa. I have to be extra careful. I can't do the 9x table at all. I have no clue why. Somethings doesn't click. Been this way all my life, had tutors and summer school. Thankfully I was never called stupid or dumb. My folks helped me, knowing something was wrong but back in the day, there wasn't a name for it. Having my wires crossed really messed up my SAT score.
Well, I'm not quite that bad, but I do mix up or read numbers backwards a lot without realizing it.

[Chilli]

I decided to add a few more as they came into my head.

- I have a hard time showing my emotion when I know people are expecting it... such as opening presents. No matter how happy I am, I can't manage to jump up and down and act so excited like others do.
- To me, the best thing to do at night is to go into the part of the woods you don't know (with friends, of course) with only a flashlight. Getting lost. And finding places you'll never think you'll find again.
- I procrastinate... alot.
- People in the neighborhood think I'm crazy. They've told me.
- I'm mad at Arkansas because while living here, I can't own a piranha.
- In pre-school, people used to poke fun at me by calling me a chinese kid because I had slanty eyes. I have no oriental-like genes in me.
- Alot of people think my father is my grandfather.
- I have my grandmum's nose.
EDIT// As in I inherrited it, and my nose is such as hers... I didn't mean that I kept her nose in a jar or something.. that would be rather creepy. x__x
- People mistake me as a college student in real life.
- I'm pretty rad when it comes to bowling.
- I'm not good at math.. or english... or science... or.. any other school subject except art and band^^.
- I hate lunch time at school.
- I like going to funerals of people whom I don't know. Its interesting to talk to the family to hear nothing but good things about that person who died.
- I feel that if I don't make my dad so happy that he cries, that I didn't make him happy enough.
- If I would have been born a male, my name would be Cory Michael instead of Courtney Michelle.
- It amuses me when people say they "like all music except country" or "all music except rap". People limit themselves too much these days.
- I like all music genres.
- More of my friends are guys than girls.
- When I was young, my teachers told my parents that they think I had ADD(or ADHD?). My mum refused to believe it then, but now she keeps telling me she thinks I have it. ^__^

I should really stop there. :D

[dukedogsmom]

I procrastinate too! And, I'm often late for work, etc, even though I have plenty of time to get ready. Does anyone else do this? I'm wondering why I do it to myself because I hate being late and what it does to me. So, why do I do it and how can I break the habit?

[pitc9]

Karen...did anyone every show you a hand trick for your 9x tables?

Put that finger down....look at your hands and there will be two fingers..space seven fingers....27. Four times 9....count to the fourth finger, curl it under and you have 3 fingers...space... 6 fingers ....36!

My stepson taught me this!

Ahh!!! How COOL is that!??! I never knew that!
(yes... I'm sitting here at work doing it) :o


*I never took any math class beyond General Math (and still managed to graduate high school)
*I have a reading comprehension problem.
(If I read something I won't remember what I read after a few minuets)
*I am a horrible speller and would like a spell check button implanted in my brain :o
*I've never met my husband’s grandfather and he hasn't seen him in over 15 years and he lives only 20 minuets from us.
*The thing that kept me from taking my own life a year ago was not knowing what would happen to Buddy. (PTS, shelter, rescue...) :( Because he and my husband still hate each other.
*My mother in law had my husband when she was 16, then got pregnant again 1 month later, then they had another baby 13 years later.
(So my husband is 30 and I have a brother in law that is 29 and another that is 17)
*I was smacked in the face by my father in law (before he was my father in law) one night during a fight when he was drunk, he kept threathing to kill my husband and I was trying to hide him in the basement.
*My husband is a recovering alcoholic and when he was drinking he always had an out of control temper and became verbally abusive during his drunken rages. (JUST like his father!)
*I would love to be a wedding planner
*Nothing burns my a$$ more than "Designer Breeds"
*I would love to move to Alaska.
*My drink of choice at Starbucks is an extra tall, non fat, Carmel Latte.
*I used to have a lot of friends, but only have 1 now that I can really count on.
*When I was planning my wedding my friend appointed herself as my maid of honor and I never stood up for myself and told her that I didn't want her to be. Then she didn't even ask me to be hers for her wedding. :mad:
*I have been a bridesmaid 7 times.

Alright... that's enough!!

- I have my grandmum's nose.
EDIT// As in I inherrited it, and my nose is such as hers... I didn't mean that I kept her nose in a jar or something.. that would be rather creepy. x__x


ROTFL!!!!!!! Oh man...that was hilarious.

I hate lunch time too ;)

[Ginger's Mom]

I procrastinate too! And, I'm often late for work, etc, even though I have plenty of time to get ready. Does anyone else do this? I'm wondering why I do it to myself because I hate being late and what it does to me. So, why do I do it and how can I break the habit?
Oh Val, that is so me. I get angry with myself every day as I am driving to work 10 minutes late wondering why I do this to myself, and grumbling at people for the first five minutes that I am at work until I can get into the swing of things. I am 5-10 mintues late to everything and hate the fact that I am.

Wow, I have never seen that! I always had to make the horrible table in school. I'm sitting here at work trying every number x 9! :)

For some reason I can't caluclate in my head at all. I use my fingers all the time, and for more advanced math I need a calculator. I understand, and can memorize, formulas and how things work, but numbers in my head become a big jumble.

The sad part about not being able to calculate mentally is that I'm an analyst for a living.. so I always have a calculator or note pad if a work question might have a remote chance of being asked.

You need to use BOTH hands Slick.... :D :rolleyes: :D

It's interesting that dyslexia came up because I'm right/left dyslexic and have met quite a few people who have the same problem. When giving directions, I used to tell people to look at my hand and not listen to what I'm saying :D My right hand will be out as I describe which way to turn, and it's correct, but my mouth is saying "left". Now I've accepted the problem and glance down at my hands before I say the direction.

I also have this problem. :o

[GreyhoundGirl]

OK, I tried to do this and got lost.... :rolleyes:

\I did to at first, now that I get it though.... It's cool. ;)

[GreyhoundGirl]

There's an easier way to do it though.

example: 4x9=

one under four is three.

All numbers in the 9x equal 9.

SO....3+6 ( it has to be 6 so that it equals 9 )

36

It's sorta hard to explain.....

Just take the number, make it one lower, than add what is needed to make it nine.

okay- I am a 46 year old woman, married the first time for 20 years to an abusive idiot, remarried to the best man in the world. I have been in dogs since before I can remember.
I am early retired from the post office as a SDO ( supervisor of distribution operations) and trying to find a new life in a early retirement. I love to talk on the computer ( duh as my daughter would say) as it sits in the main great room of the house... I also love to read, love music ( !!!) and my fondest memories are singing in the Westminster choir at the NY Met etc.
I have a terribly soft heart- been accused of caring too much for people and overly try to help even if not needed.. lol..
Proud parent of a 20 year old daughter- who- of course can do no wrong.
Love animals in any form ( except snakes... williessssss on over load) and have tried to rescue wild animal babies as well.
I am somebody that has friends for yearsssssssssssssssss with long term relationships are common. Active member in my church, taught sunday school etc and a devote Christian. I get worried on distressed emails when someone is in trouble and have drive in a heartbeat out of state to help a friend.. ( my husband now says I dont know how to mind my own business but I just want to help..)
I have a gift with dogs. I have recieved countless "hopeless cases" and within months you never know its the same dog... Active member ( retired VP) to our local human society, and check in alllllllllll the time although I stated I had retired from this.. ( uh huh.. yea right as my daughter says...)
Never active in politics until our step son ended up in Iraq and believe our troops needs support with the stories we heard about people putting explosives in baby carriages for God sake..
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- thats about it I guess.. Ohhhhhhh we have a ghost in our house- doesnt worry me as a calm spirit but we just have to say things like " leave the door open please" orrrrr please leave the light off so we can sleep... lollllllllllllll...

[cassiesmom]

okay, let's see ...

--I won the junior high spelling bee when I was in the 8th grade;
--I'm good at crossword puzzles and terrible at sudoku puzzles;
--I hate loud popping sounds (firecrackers on Independence Day; latex balloons and the like);
--I play the flute;
--I'm a nurse;
--Cassie Cat is my first cat, and my second pet (my first pet was a parakeet);
--My soft drink of choice is Tab -- yes, the one in the pink can. It does contain saccharin but now also aspartame. They still make it! If Tab is not available I'll take a Diet Coke, please.
--I'm a total night owl - even before I got out of school; I rotated between the second and third shifts for years. You've heard the saying, 'I don't do mornings'? I don't do mornings.
--a few TV addictions: M*A*S*H reruns on the Hallmark Channel; Forensic Files on Court TV; anything narrated by Bill Kurtis on A&E; and anything with Law & Order in the title but especially SVU;
--It's almost 2 PM and I haven't had lunch yet today;
--I'm hoping the Pet Talk members in Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana can have a get together at the dog show at McCormick Place in February (see related post) - not my idea but maybe some of the dog people will teach me what to watch at a dog show because I love the one on USA every winter;
--One of the things I like most about Pet Talk is the things I have learned not only about cats, but also about dogs, birds, bunnies and other pets!!;
--I'd like to tell you I'm the spitting image of Cindy Crawford but that would be a huge whopper of a lie. I'm closer to Carnie Wilson (before) but I'm working on it!
