    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.

    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.

    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

    Mary, we are the same person!

    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.

    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.

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

    I **need** to bleach my teeth.

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

    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! )

    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.

    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. He used to pretend that we were stalling out and were going to die.
    - 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.
    - 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?)
    - 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.
    - 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.

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