Tell us something about you!

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.

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

Ick! Ick! Ick! Everything straight up for me - coffee, tea, whiskey.

The-Duck - great thought, sitting outside in the dark and rain, only that sound and the smells from the earth and trees getting soaked.

-I haven't had a boyfriend since the 7th grade(lol not that that's a bad thing!)

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).

I remembered some more things..
-I'm highly clausterphobic. If I can't breathe 100% perfectly, I panic.
-I have 13 pets at the moment..
-I have a very much so obsession over Lost and Ian Somerhalder.
-I also have a bit of a Hello Kitty obsession.

I'm loving reading about everyone! :)

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 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.

If you don't mind answering... why were you taken home by the police, what you do? :p I'm interested lol

This is a very interesting thread!

-I have been a vegetarian for 10 years.
-I don't watch TV, I just don't really find it that interesting.
-I just got a job as a counselor at a girls' home and I start Monday.
-I love to travel and I've been to 9 different countries and I'm always planning new trips.
-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. Once, a guy from Greece made me dinner (at the rest stop) and proposed to me!! I enjoyed the food but declined the offer of marriage.
-I stayed up late to read this thread!

I think we are sisters! My back is s shaped too :) It's annoying when you want to buy trousers that fit you but I can bend my back at nearly 90 degrees :eek:

A couple of other things I remembered

-I used to have a school teacher who was married to someone famous, and now her husband knows me :D
-I HATE celery, can't stand the stuff
-I am a frequent user of sarcasm
-The Da Vinci Code and the James Herriot series are my favourite books
-My star sign is capricorn. I was born on January 20th, which is a confusing date for star signs, as it is either the last day of capricornians of the first of Aquarians. I've always thought of myself as a true-hearted capricornian.;)
-My first (sort of) word was boh-woh, meaning dog. All my first ten words were of animals, they were Bambos (my RB cat Brando), bee, horsee, birdie, Zah-Zah (RB Zsa-Zsa), bunny, hamser (hamster), bear and chickie (chicken). Shortly after, I learned Mummy, Daddy, monster and Eric Cantona!:p
-I am flat-footed and have a D width foot. It's a devil getting shoes to fit.

BUMP

I love this learning about everone
