I love this topic.
Here I go,
1. I was voted the most misunderstood person of my High School graduating class, and I am very proud of it, for someone to take time to understand you, that means they are a lifetime friend. Even better, I have had a few people apologize to me about it and say I was probably worth understanding.
2. I dance in my kitchen daily.
3. I want about 12 kids.
4. I am scared to death of fish
5. I keep a very vivid document on my computer detailing what I would do if I won the lottery.
6. I am a national winner of colorguard.
7. I can see and communicate with people that have passed.

This is a groovy topic!
Okay:
1. I don't judge a book (people or animals) by it's cover.
2. I'd rather spend time with my cats or dogs then going to a tea party.
3. I do not like ice-cream.
4. I love to watch Dragon Flies, I think they are beautiful.
5. The same as Alerationsbyemily's #7: I can see and communicate with people that have passed.
6. I have seen two UFO's.
7. I am scared to death of catterpillers.
This was fun. Marly

Emily and Marly would you be interested in starting a separate thread about that? I think it is incredibly interesting.

WOW!! ok, someone asked so here it goes... and it's about as random as you can get.
1) I have ABSOLUTELY NO filter between my brain and mouth
2) I can not handle sick or hurt humans or stand to clean up their puke or diarrhea, but I can do WHATEVER it take to make animals all better.
3) I am 33, not married, no kids so all my 4 legged kids (21 of them) have people names.
4) I remember everything, absolutely EVERYTHING.... trust me it is not as GREAT as it seems.
5) I can make conversation with complete strangers. However, I have only 2 true friends and one of them is my soon to be sister-in-law.
6) I am only 5'6" but have a 36" inseam.... Everytime I reorder uniform pants the Cintas rep asks "Are you sure?"... um yes, they are my legs. LOL
7) I am in the field of Entomology/critter control and LOVE IT when I show up for a call and the GUY that called in tries to act tough when he see that a "girl" is fixing his problem. :)
I'm so busy I don't know if I just found a rope or lost my horse! |

1. I am 5'8", (after "growing" two inches during spinal surgery when I was 16) but should be about three inches taller if my back were straight. Sigh.
2. I believe our loved ones who have passed stay near us and frankly, I am a bit miffed at my mother, who passed seven years ago, for not helping my daughter through a really tough time in her life.
3. I love Healthy Choice frozen Fudge Bars and eat four or five a day.
4. I refuse to buy annuals. Perennials are the way to go.
5. Color is very important to my happiness. My kitchen is red, blue, green and orange. And I have a flower garden that is separated by color, although over the years, I have been unable to pull out some pretty volunteer plants because they are the wrong color.
6. Violence makes my stomach turn. And so does the use of a few words.
7. I have to have someone to take care of.

I believe that the dead are asleep in their graves awaiting the return of Jesus to be resurrected, but that evil angels can pretend to be our dead loved ones. Not a judgement on anyone just a word of caution. The Bible forbids it, for good reason. Be careful sisters.

1. I have not had a job in seven years.
2. I desperately want to go back to college.
3. I was attacked by a wolf, when I was 12. Search wolf attack or apex predators to find the thread. Alee has a really good mountain lion story there too.
4. I just made a poultry order for 20 Easter Eggers, and am going to sell them as pullets.
5. My son has Autism, and we have a rule in our house that we aren't allowed to talk about what causes autism. We don't need anyone to blame, and the moments discussing why are wasted when we could have spent them doing something positive.
6. I have never fired a gun, and my husband is a gun nut, opposites attract. He said: I want to kill things for you. So I was able to see past the realtree, and fell in love.
7. I recently had a second trimester miscarriage and had to give birth and name my baby. Now I understand why people can become drug addicts, because of the hurt. I am ok, but I have so much more compassion for women now, and the things we have to endure. PS I'm not a drug addict, but I did save some vicodin for when my mother in law visits.....because she'll want to talk A LOT about why Owen has Autism :)

Trish, I like your attitude of not wasting your time laying blame but focusing on doing something positve. a very good rule for lots of situations and one I should try harder at.
Cathy...wouldn't a farmgirl convention be a hoot !

I LOVE this. We probably all COULD have done 25 things. Patricia, that is one of my best fantasies-all the farmgirls wandering in and out by the campfire and just hugging and talking. Almost heaven. Joey

Denise: My husband is right handed and shoots a gun with his left. His reason is, he says he can't close his left eye to aim. He also shoots a basketball and bats left handed.

Marly, It's funny because the only things I do with my left hand are eat and write, everything else I use my right. Kind of weird because most left-handers I know do everything left handed. I close my right eye when I shoot so I must do that right handed too. Haven't gone shooting in a long time.
