I love this thread!!! I felt great after the second 28. It seemed like I really had to dig into my inner self to get that second group. After reading everybody elses, I see so many things that I could also have written down. So much fun!!!

Isn't it fabulous to learn things about everybody?

You could always start round 3.......

[Daisy and Delilah]

Yes I could. Hmmmm...........

[pomtzu]

Yes I could. Hmmmm...........

I'll look for it it the morning.........

[zippy-kat]

1. K'Cee is on my lap. I am typing in an extremely uncomfortable position to avoid disturbing her. Often, I will put off getting up/doing something so I don't disturb her. I refer to this as "purring the cat." (IE "I can't do that right now, K'Cee needs purred.")

2. I hide new bags of catfood from K'Cee. If she spies a new bag, she will quit eating from the old bag. I have tried to buffalo her and it doesn't work; I give in within 1/2 day. (The "old" secretly gets mixed into the new... when she's not looking, of course.)

3. I have fractured my left foot twice, my right wrist once. I think I've fractured my left elbow and wrist but I never told my mom; I was doing something I wasn't supposed to. I have sprained my right wrist and my left ankle. I had (have?) a condition where the muscles in my legs are stronger than the bones and it causes a strain on the bones. None of the fractures or sprains are due to that condition, though.

4. I am a rule follower but my one ticket has been for "disobeying a police officer." (It was night, he was in a dark uniform. I didn't see him.)

5. I'm not scared of the dark. I'm scared of things IN the dark. Namely, skunks.

6. I once let a gopher in the house on accident.

7. I once gave somebody the "up your's!" sign on accident. (You know the one where you have one arm bent in front of you then make/raise a fist with your other?) I was walking with a friend; we were discussing having blood drawn. I was motioning with my hands when a stranger pulled his truck around the corner and we locked eyes.

8. I wanted to name my first dog Koolaide.

9. I hate lipstick, mushrooms, pickles from restuarants, and the word utilize.

10. It drives me NUTS when people use the word "irregardless." Just say "regardless" or "irrespective." (Actually, I don't think "irregardless" is even a word, is it?)

11. I have one tattoo. It's on my toe.

12. I was born in a Catholic hospital, raised Methodist, but now go to a Baptist church.

13. I have hitchhiked, once. My cousin and I were determined to go out of town despite the bad weather and despite our parents' "You're silly for traveling in this weather. Your grown, we can't stop you from going, but don't call us if you wreck!" About 30min from our destination, I hit a patch of black ice. The car spun, landed in a ditch, and flattened a tire. We hitchhiked to a gas station (maybe 15min away) and waited for help. I ended up dating the guy that changed my tire/drug my car out of the ditch. My cousin and I never did call/tell our parents; they found out about it 2yrs later.

14. I have a HUGE sweet tooth!

15. I've rode an Olympic jumper (see possible wrist/elbow fracture in #3) and a calvary horse. (The jumper was SEVERELY barn sour -- someone left the arena gate open. *buck, buck* I bit the dirt and horsey went to his stall.)

16. I'm having a hard time with this set. I'm not that interesting!

Ok, I'm "pausing" for now. If I can think of some more stuff, I'll post it.

4. I love my Jetta, but its sick right now and I don’t know whats wrong with it.

15. New York City is probably my favorite place to visit.
16. I never go to the Orlando theme parks. Living here most of my life, I've been to Epcot once, Disneyworld once, and, Universal 3 times. I think these places are great but not for me. I also think they're way too expensive.

That would have done me in, Ellie. Kick back and relax for awhile and maybe you can do it later.
I could make another list just out of things other people have said that I didn't think of at the time.
