I hate them but they are sooo little. My middle toe is actually the same size as my pinkie toe?? My toes are fat and short and just about all the same size.

#2..I have read the Bible front to back 2 times in my life. I know it needs to be more.

atlantamomof2 replied: Not really facts, but:

I want to, at some point in my life:
1) learn how to play the piano
2) write a novel
3) learn how to quilt
4) travel to Austria and Switzerland.
5) go to college


I've been thinking a lot about these aspirations(sp?) lately.

GavinsMommy replied: Hmmmmmm I dunno.......

Well, I started cheerleading at age 3 and quit when I was 12. So a long time. My sister cheered for a fourth or fifth grade football team and I would always run out on the field and try to cheer like her. So they eventually gave me my own uniform and let me cheer

Uh.....I am constantly brushing my hands off on my pants when I'm in a store. I feel like my hands get really dusty when I pick things up and it REALLY bothers me! My mom does it too...

I pick up everything in a restaurant such as salt shakers, ketchup bottles, etc. with a napkin. I never touch them directly with my hands. I'm a germaphobic!!! When I go to use the restroom, I also touch everything in there w/ a paper towel...even the door handle on my way out. Why wash your hands if your just going to touch the door handle where so many people that DIDN'T wash their hands touched? I do a lot of weird things to "avoid" those dreadful crawling bacteria!!! LOL.

I rub my feet together in my sleep over and over....my great grandmother did it, and I guess I just picked up the habit. I can be dead asleep and be doing it...

Josie83 replied: Interesting Mel! It'll be cool to find out new things about everyone on here. I can't think of many interesting things that I haven't told you lot before though

Okay, I can understand spoken italian but can't fluently speak it myself, or read or write it

If I was a boy I was going to be named Guiseppe (Italian for Joseph . . . instead I got the feminine form Josefina )

Er . . . let's think of something else you probably will not know . . . oh I know! I have amodelling job on Friday! How funny is THAT?! The girl who hates wearing nice clothes, putting on makeup and brushing her hair has to moel for a whole day xx

PascosGirl replied: I daydream too much.

~KARA~ replied: I can pick things up with my toes and pinch with them too!!

Boys r us replied: I once paid $500 for a psychic to put a love spell on a boyfriend..let's just say that I'm married to him! HA

jdkjd replied: I would like to get my bellybutton re-pierced (I took it out when I was pregnant with Bailey) and get a new tattoo.

I know! It's like I'm having a midlife crisis.

mammag replied: That's a tough one.....I don't know myself too well I guess

1) I played the drums in school and when I was little I thought I'd be in a girl band when I grew up.
2) I like to watch old movies (Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, etc.)
3) I love American History and War History
4) I've never so much as tried a cigarette
5) I delivered newspapers from the time I was 7 (my parents made us help them) until I was 16.

2) I am closer to my mom than any friend I have ever had, we have always been best friends.
3)I have a staring problem, (so does Blakely) I cannot help it, sometimes I get intriged by someone and I just stare at them.

My2Beauties replied: I played the violin for 5 years and became the first chair first violin - which is the best chair - and then QUIT I'm a dummy

I took Spanish for 7 years and Fren ch for 8 years and couldn't tell you a full sentence now - been a long time since I've spoken them

I hate my toes too Mel, except mine are too long and skinny, my second toe is as long as my pinky finger

I'm extremely jealous over Brian for some reason never been that way over any other guy - guess that's why I'm marrying him huh

I have a hard time keeping some secrets my friends tell me - I don't tell other friends but I tell my mom or Brian

I too have a staring problem - especially with girls, if I see one that is attractive I stare at her and don't even mean to. I've gotten myself in trouble at bars over this before Girls think I am trying to stare them down or something but I'm actually just thinking about how attractive they are - I know I'm weird!

3xsthefun replied: 1. I am very shy person, it takes me awhile for me to talk to a person in real life. But when I am on the computer talking to someone I can talk to them for hours.

2. On my right foot the toe right between my middle toe and little toe lies under them. I don't know how else to explain it but I know it is weird and probably gross. My husband don't think so since he likes my feet

3. I use to sneak out of my grandparents house to go see Rob back 7 years ago my BF. He lived right near my grandma and I didn't want my parents know I was seeing him at the time.

4. This last one is pretty bad. I once got couple friends to help me steal my parents truck so I could run away while they were at work. I ended up getting hit by a car that day and my parents didn't press any charges. I'm still very ashamed of what I done.

maraelise replied: now that's good forum reading!

hmmm...

i dropped out of a neuroscience phd program two years ago...

i worked at wendys when i was in highschool for four months ( i was one on the only people socially adept enough to take orders besides my boss, otherwise i worked with a skinhead, a child molester, and a kid who bounced in and out of juvie, and one normal but very shy stutterer-- these are the people working at your local fastfood restaurant!)

i secretly dream of being a singer still (i have since i was four)

i also stare at people... i think it's a fundamental right! (they're my eyeballs!)

sometimes i'll be in a rush getting dressed and end up wearing my underwear inside out. (now that's something i've never told ANYONE-- but i think my man notices anyway).

TANNER'S MOM replied:
I too do this..and with my Bra too..and it makes it really hard to get off. But I never take the time to change it either

PascosGirl replied: Well I went to work one time with my scrub top inside out. Yeah, that was pretty embarassing.

MichaelsMommy replied: Ok a few odd things.. I'm a manager for a software company that does
stuff for the travel industry. I used to show horses when in HS and

TeagansMom609 replied: I was a full blown drug addict at 13, and was in 2 rehabs because of it.

I was a REALLY bad kid, I got sent to 2 alternative schools and got kicked out of both.

I stopped doing drugs at 15, havent touched them since.

I am a very blunt, outspoken person. (Not always a good thing)

I would like to open my own business one day (not sure what yet)

I am too materialistic. (I wish I wasnt)

I couldnt tell you the last time I wore shorts because I think my theighs are too big.

Im a really caring person, who puts everyone else before myself. I love helping people, especially the elderly.

texasp3 replied: Gosh... this was a fun idea! Let's see... um...

My pinky fingers are really, REALLY little... this was actually a bit of a problem when I used to play piano as a kid.

I played piano until I was thirteen. I was living in Singapore and a very important piano teacher heard me play and asked to be my teacher. (You couldn't ask to be his student, only the other way around.) I was going through those STUPID adolescent rebellion years and misbehaved so badly at my lessons that my mother, in embarassment and probably total aggravation, told me I could quit if I wanted to. I did, thinking I had won some cosmic battle. Haha. Jokes on me... today I routinely kick myself around the house for being such a teenaged twit and wasting that increadible opportunity.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Marie~ did you know short pinky fingers are a sign of an underactive thyroid? I found that out when I went to a nutritionist/chiropractor 2 years ago.

1. I get panic attacks when I have to make phone calls. I can talk for hours, but if I have to make the call I have full blown panic attacks.

2. When I was in choir in HS I would sing anywhere from the top Soprano part to tenor

AshleyRose replied: I have night terrors... didnt have them as a kid but have them now...

i used to have an ocd called trichotillmania where i pulled out my eyelashes and eyebrows until i had NONE !!!!

i still have a blankey that i cannot sleep without... sad, i know

i used to be able to sing really well until i started smoking which i quit doing last may!! almost a year i have been quit!!

i have a secret urge to be a dancer but will probably never pursue it. even at the gym when i am on the little machine and listening to music, i just want to get up in front of everyone and dance my head off! its weird but i love to dance.. and i barely do it...


up until the singing part ,i really sound like a mess, eh?

jcc64 replied: I won the Jr Olympics in 50m breastroke when I was 12.
I was the captain of my high school field hockey team.
I was a Deadhead and toured around the country with them for many years (school and jobs permitting).
I graduated college summa cum laude.
I gobbled massive amounts of hallucinogenic drugs in my youth, have no regrets about it (in fact some of my most profound spiritual revelations occured during this period), but that lifestyle is long gone now.
I'm sloppy and massively disorganized.

My2Beauties replied: OK I have a couple more

I used to smoke marijuana ALL THE TIME, could be why my brain doesn't work sometimes

I snuck out of my house in the middle of the night as a teenager a lot

Everytime I pass a mirror I have to look at myself Am I the only one who does this?

AshleyRose replied: I guess I will add this too... since I am telling it all LOL

I smoke pot on occasion. I find that this is much safer than drinking and you don't feel like complete crap the next day. Of course, we wouldn't do it in the house or anywhere near the baby and I won't smoke until I am done breastfeeding or should I say... supplementing with breastmilk which it has come out to now a days . We would also wait until she was asleep.. plus she sleeps through the night now and has been consistently .




also, at a really low point in my life, i had done ecstacy a few times but will never go that far again. the worst i have done is that and smoke marjuana.

mom21kid2dogs replied: Let's see now . . .
I have the ugliest hands and feet on the planet. No kidding~I could win cash prizes for these suckers!!

I took piano lessons for 6 months in the 8th grade from my long time singing teacher but was so bad at it I couldn't stand to dissapoint him when I came in the room for a lesson and he would say, with a hopeful look on his face, "Is this a singing lesson?". Poor guy looked like he was in pain when I said "No, piano."

Subsequently, learned to play the mellophone in the 9th grade because I needed to play an instrument in addition to singing to win an Arian Award (my HS goal). I could play without marching but never got the hang of playing an marching. I was assistant row leader in a very good HS marching band and never played and marched at the same time all 3 years!

I was tourtured by my classmates all through elementary school because I was fat and wore glasses. The memory of it still makes me cry (even after lots of therapy!!)

I've never drunk to the point of throwing up or losing control.

I'm blind in my left eye (birth defect).

I am still great friends with two girls I've known since 1st grade.

Jamison'smama replied: I like to watch Murder She Wrote and love Animal Planet

I am related to two Miss Americas

I am an organizational junkie--love to organize things/ I also love to do laundry

I'm a picker--I have a need to tweeze things, remove lint from people's clothing, I pick on DH constantly and do it to Jack and Jamison as well---I can't stand if they have buggers or ear wax etc.

I have eaten the same exact breakfast (almost) every day for months and months

I sleep in my contacts every night until they about fall out of my eyes.

I could go on and on in this post

just so you know - i think this is the condition of every job that pays minimum wage. my folks owned a restaurant that i was forced to work at most of my youth, and my friend (the only other slightly normal person in there) and i had nicknames for everyone in there. we had "the lurker" (the guy with the lazy eye who was also a light walker), the "scatman" (he was in a "band" that played the most awful white boy regge), the guy we called "ssskk" because everytime we asked him his name that's all we could understand. i could go on and on . .


but anyways, about me . . .

1. i am chemically addicted to halls cough drops. i LOVE getting a cough.

2. i also have monkey toes - i can change the channel with them.

3. i have the most gaudy taste in everything - clothes, shoes, home decor. barry hates it. the other day i bought my new purse - it's huge and had a tree and butterflies and a rainbow, all in sequins.

4. i would love to be a surrogate mother.
