My hair grows really fast. And I mean REALLY fast.

I play several musical instruments: piano, violin, trombone, guitar are the major ones I play, but I tinker around with a couple more when I have the chance. I have a good ear and I can read music, so once I figure out how the instrument goes, generally I have no problem playing it afterwards.

I speak French and English fluently, and I speak Spanish and German enough to get by on, though I understand both almost perfectly.

I'm almost legally blind.

Let's see, I keep coming up with interesting things about my kids .... so I guess that makes me a Mom!!!

I had a concussion and Amnesia when I was in sixth grade and cannot remember part of my life.

I have 36 first cousins.

Both my kids were born shortly after 8am and were exactly 8 lbs.
My son and I were both born on a Thursday, My daughter and husband were both born on a Tuesday. Both kids were born in February and my DH & I in March.

I teach CCD (Catholic Religion classes) to 4th and 5th graders.

cameragirl21 replied: hmm, i have too many to list.
I was born a whopping 48 hours after my mom's water broke, meaning i sat around in utero for a whole two days without water and many people are still not quite sure how i survived.
I have always been considered psychic (for those of you who believe in that), have seen ghosts since i was three (the earliest incident that i can remember) and used to get paid serious money to read people's tarot cards, i sometimes still do but for the most part i gave up that craft when i seriously took on photography b/c reading tarot cards took up so much energy that i was too exhausted to get a good shoot. (i hope that didn't totally freak out some of you religious people)
i was approached in the ocean by a ten foot bullshark that was feeding (fin out of the water) and it still baffles the handful of marine biologists that i told that i didn't at least get bitten
i've been electrocuted three times and incidentally am the daughter of two electrical engineers, lol
i have very vivid dreams and am quite adept at dream interpretation
i did some modeling in high school which i hated...sadly it took some years for me to figure out that i was on the wrong side of the camera
i am totally obsessed with butterflies and think they're among the greatest creatures on earth
i have some very distinct memories of past lives that i've lived
there is much more but that should do for now....

A&A'smommy replied: Really cool post its neat knowing a little more about all of ya'll

I love to have to the crap scared of me (scary movies, haunted houses... ghost hunting yes I'm weird)
I have two dogs one that lives at my moms house because we had landlord issues but i think were just going to bring her home anyway she is a britney spaniel with paper and she was given to us, and a purebred long-hair chihuahua without papers that was given to us.
I live in a small house with one car and it sucks but I'm thankful for both everyday cause things could be much worse!!
I love living in a small town
I was homeschooled

*I met my husband while engaged to someone else

cameragirl21 replied:
I for one am glad they were both failed attempts.

msoulz replied: After reading all of these I have come to the conclusion that i am the most boring person on this board!!

That is my fact.

cameragirl21 replied:
well, i like your interactive Tigger so that makes you interesting to me.
plus that story you told about your son and the elf/dwarf really cracked me up and i've actually told it to a number of people who also thought it was hilarious.
i'm sure it was embarrassing at the time, though.

coasterqueen replied: I was labeled a rebel in highschool

My boyfriend my senior year and I were labeled "Cutest Couple" ICK!

I've had some sort of relationship with a boy/guy since I was in 6th grade. I've never gone more than a week being single. Dad was right, I was and always will be boy crazy!

I tried to commit suicide when I was younger. I decided I did the wrong thing and called my mom.

Parents kicked me out when I was 16 after I wrecked the car, wasn't all my fault, and I went to live with a friend. Was dragged back home 6 months later. I guess my parents wanted me to live in a different hell than what I was already living in.

Was kicked out again at age 17, living with my boyfriend and his parents (my senior year). Things got really hairy there so I begged my parents to take me back only to get an ultimatum I wasn't going to accept and moved out 2 weeks before I turned 18. I had no where to go.

I dated a 30 year old guy when I was 16. He was my boss.

I worked in greenhouse settings from the age of 15 to 18. It was my passion and I always dreamed I would own one. I do not have a green thumb anymore.

I guess I've shared enough skeletons out of my closet. It's pretty full.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Ok so I am really boring.....


I was valedictorian of my class in high school.

I have very bad people skills and always feel like an outsider.

I love weird old country music that most people have never heard of.

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
I bet I have

But, not until I met DH. He LOVES old country. We have a station here that plays old country on saturday nights. We used to listen to it every week. The records they played over the radio (yes, records) were so old they would skip and sound all crackly.

huggybugboy replied: I can honestly say I have never been drunk. I also have never smoked cigarettes. (I'll stop there.)
I started dating my husband when I was 16, he was 23.
I have "Shrek feet."
I still pick my nose.
I was in a state spelling bee in the fifth grade.
When I was younger, I was very angry at our vet because he put my cat down. I prayed that he would die and the next day he died in a plane crash.

punkeemunkee'smom replied:

Holley, What made you want to have that job? That is what Bill does It is not a widely known occupation

Odd things about me....ummmmm

When I was little I had imaginary dogs and I talked about them all the time-when my mom and I took a trip to a place I had never been before(a plantation tour) I took my mom to a house well in the back of the property like I knew where I was going and told my mom this is where my dogs were...The lady there said she 'knew me' and I was reincarnated It freaked my mom out!

I remember the floor plan of every house we or any family have ever lived in

I get feelings about people-and if they are bad feelings or uneasiness-I have not been wrong yet It is kinda funny but Bill even just says Ok I trust you now...

A man in a car tried to grab a friend of mine and I when we were walking home from the pool one day when I was about 12-when the police found him he was not alone in the car(there was another man with him) He was wanted on warrants and he died that night in police custody....There was little statues in his back window of his car and now little statues (kinda wooden carving looking ones) FREAK me out...Anytime I picture an evil man he comes to mind and I can still see his face

I eat candy-corn one color at a time and Tay does too

I bite grapes in half when I am eating them...

I ALWAYS look in a straw and blow through it (spider story ) before I use it or put it in Tay's drink and now Bill does it too So do a few more close friends

I can remember the lyrics to a song after the first time I hear it and Taylor seems to as well...I also feel music- sounds crazy I know....I really can't explain it...

I have said it before but I 'hear' the voices of people in books and on here when I am reading.

OK I think I have probably made myself sound crazy enough by now!

redchief replied: I own (along with my parents - long story) and live in the same house in which I was raised.
I walk in my sleep and do some pretty strange things in that condition.

My mother had polio as a girl and we used to call her Tanglefoot.
I have four hero citations (forget it, I don't talk about them).
I was once terribly allergic to poison ivy, that is until I was in a fire with a lot of it burning. It blistered my throat and I was very ill for weeks, but I'm no longer allergic to poison ivy.
I've broken both of my arms.
I've broken all but one of my toes.
As a child I was stabbed in the side by a broken pedal on a tricycle. I didn't tell my parents because I was afraid I would get in trouble. Somehow it healed and my mother finally found out about it a year afterward.
I continued to grow after high school, finally becoming fully grown at the age of 20.
I once won a halloween contest dressed as a woman... Neither the judges or the announcer knew whether I was male or female.

That's enough for now.
Great dirt everyone.

Nina J replied: I went to a party once and got really drunk. I woke up at 6 in the morning, asleep on a bus..I still have no idea how I got there, no one that was at the party knows either. The last time people remembered seeing me was at 1 in the morning..I don't know where I was, or what I was doing between one and six.

Apparently, when I was almost 3, I attempted to run away from home 6 times in one day. I didn't get more than a block away. I don't remember that, but I do remember running away from my dad when I was four. We were in the supermarket and he wouldn't buy me some chocolate, so I left.

My dad accidently dropped me on my head when I was six and knocked me out.

I also got knocked out by a toilet door. It didn't have a lock on it and someone opened the door really fast. The door hit me in the head and knocked me out.

My3LilMonkeys replied:
Here's 2 that I usually get a big WHO? when I mention I like them:

When I was a kid my favorite song was Put Another Log on the Fire by Tompall Glaser.

Put another log on the fire I know really well. Not sure about New Riders of the Purple Sage.

skinkybaby replied: I absolutely hate feet and can't stand it when anyone touches mine. I could never have a pedicure.

I've never smoked a cigarette or done any illegal drugs.

I've seen Steel Magnolias so many times I can recite it word for word. And I still cry at the end.

I used to work at Space Center Houston and gave tours at NASA. I almost ran over Clint Eastwood with my tram when he was there filming Space Cowboys.

I love the Bee Gees

huggybugboy replied: Ok I thought of more...
When I was in high school, my friend was sucking on a lollypop while turning a corner, and stabbed me in the eye with the stick. It was the only time I have ever seen my dad cry because he thought I was going to be blind. (I ended up being fine after a couple of days.)

I was a national Champion for 4 years in Girls BareBow Archery.

I took Hunters Education (b/c my father made me), but now I know how to shoot several different types of guns for hunting purposes.....although I don't feel I could ever kill an animal.

5littleladies replied: I've led a pretty boring life as you will soon see.

I've never smoked a cigarette, done drugs (haven't even been offered them) or drunk a full achololic beverage (I'm always pregnant or breastfeeding and when I'm not I just can't find any that I like).

My husband has been my first everything-First boyfriend, first kiss, etc., and we were both virgins when we got married.

The only times I swear is when I know it will shock someone.

I've never broken a bone or needed stitches apart from childbirth.

When I was 14 I stole lip gloss from Kmart, was found out, and forced by my dad to return it. I was so humiliated I never stole again.

When I jump on the trampoline if I'm not careful I'll sometimes wet my pants a bit (I need to work on my Kegels).

When I get angry at dh I have a tendency to throw things at him. Lucky for him I've never hit my target.

I used ot live in Japan

my2monkeyboys replied: Ok... I'll sound pretty tame compared to most, but here's some info on me...

My dad's sister married my mom's brother, so all of us kids are double-first cousins. There is no incest, just very close to it! LOL

my dad was an alcoholic/druggie/dealer and was in prison for almost 2 years when I was in 6th-8th grade.

While he was locked-up my mom was forced to "resign" from her job with the bank of 13 years bc they said she posed a risk since my father was what/where he was. Bc of that, we lost our vehicle and tv, and we had to move in with my aunt for a few months. We were on food stamps for about 6 months, and my mom cried every day bc of it.
We had to visit my dad on the weekends. They searched us coming and going. Also, none of my friend's parents would let them or me come over for the first year or so. Can't say that I blame them, but it sure was lonely. It really sucked.

He has since become a Christian and pastored a church for over 8 years. He and my mom are still married. He was diagnosed as bi-polar a few years ago.

I have never done any kind of drug, though they ALL were [U] readily [U] available to me from the time I was born. My dad used to keep big trash bags full of pot in our dryer, and we had a pot plant (his personal one) in our back yard. He kept the harder stuff in his room on a bookshelf.

I also HATE cigarettes, so much that I almost gag if I have to touch one or even the package. Obviously I have never smoked one either. (My mom smokes.)

I hate when people blame their present problems (and their future problems) on the past they had. I could have grown up to be a very different person had I chose to let those things define who I am. I chose to be my own person.

The first time I drank alcohol I was in 9th grade at my best friend's house and we both sat in her room playing board games and got smashed... I can't remember parts of that night still.

I always wanted to be a veternarian growing up, and never wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. Then I had Will. Now I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom. Go figure!

I love working in the yard, planting things, learning about plants... but my yard looks like crap bc I never have time to work in it!

I've never broken a bone, but I did slip off a bike seat when I was 8 and cut my "girlie" area... I had to be taken to the ER and threw up for a few hours after wards. It all healed nicely though.

My house stays a wreck. I clean it all in a day or so, then it's right back to normal with stuff everywhere.... but I don't mind. We live in it, we enjoy it. I [U] do not [U] enjoy cleaning.

Sorry for the long post!

Crystalina replied: I was engaged to my high school sweetheart for 3 yrs. We broke it off I married DH and we were all friends. Kenny, my ex died a couple of years ago in a work related accident and when DH is out of town I visit his grave. Kenny was an only child and his mom still calls me all the time to talk. She cries about never having more children and she has Kennys little boy (well, he's about 10 now) and he's the spitting image of his father.

DH and I eloped and got married at 10:30pm at the preachers house. The preacher wore his jammies and his wife played the piano in her hot pink fuzzy robe and matching fuzzy house shoes. It was the best money we never spent. My sister ended up wearing my dress a few years later. DH and I wore Harley t-shirts and jeans. It worked for us.

I married the bass player, guitarist and the drummer. He did it all and was in a band for awhile.

I'm a basket weaver and used to sell them all the time. Now I only make them as gifts.

I'm a Johnny Depp freak and know just about every line in any of his movies. I also go to Johnny Depp forums but mostly for recent pics, t.v. appearences that kind of thing. It really is a sickness. Even my kids are JD nuts.

I live in a trouse. Half trailor/ half house. I love it and it's big. So that would make me trouse trash.

I was a corrections officer for a couple of years in a male prison (medium security) and it sucked. You can truly learn to hate men with a job like that. I was extremely stressed while working there because everyday I had to put up with crap. It turned me mean and I had to quit. It's hard to be mean all day to men (you can't be nice or people talk) and then come home and be nice to DH. I came home a big grump butt all the time so I had to leave that. It was the best thing I did. The money wasn't worth the stress.

I've also worked with Alzheimers patients for about 8 yrs. That's what I was doing when I quit working to be a mommy. I hope to return to that job when the kids are older. That was the best job. It also has alot of stress at times but it was a differnat stress. I still visit with my patients. Some remember me some don't. They are all great and it's so sad we cannot find something to reverse the process that these women (mostly) go through. I did have men patients but there were fewer of them.

I named both of my children from charaters on t.v.

I love old movies especially (and these are my absolute favorites),
Gone With The Wind
West Side Story
Bye Bye Birdie
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

I was a Duranie in the 80's (Duran Duran) and still think John Taylor is a cutie. I also had a huge crush on Boy George when I was a kid. Then I learned he was gay and was crushed. I REALLY didn't know. I was a kid!

I was in Marching band in HS. I was a flag girl and I can still twirl like crazy. I've taken the kids out and showed them how good mommy is with throwing and twirling a broom in the yard. I still got it.

At my old job I was Emoyee of the Month on many many occasions. I never missed a day of work and I was also voted SnowFlake Princess right before I found out I was pg with Izabella. Hey, SnowFlake Princess was a big deal.

I used to smoke alot but quite with pregnancy.

I never go out anymore. I'm very happy doing things around the house and doing family things on weekends. Believe me, this is a small town and if you go out to an event you will see everyone there.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I have never broken a bone, which is is miracle since i was a real rough and tumble kid.

When I was 20 I had to have stitches in my ear after getting it caught on a trampoline spring - I was trying to do a flip and landed on my head on the springs and it tore through the cartilage.

I have never done drugs or smoked a cigarette (had one offered to me once in my life) and I have had about 4 or 5 alcoholic drinks, none of which I finished.

I had an eating disorder years ago, I struggled with it until I had Andrew and now I know I'll never do that again.

I used to speed all of the time (75-80 in a 55 zone and 90 on the freeway) but now I'm slow and drive so cautiously it drives DH nuts.

I HATE being tickled.

I have a freaky obsession with putting lotion on my feet. I can't handle the dry feeling and if I go to bed without putting lotion on them I can't sleep.

I'm claustrophobic and can't have a blanket over my head for longer than a few seconds.

I'm living my dream: All I've ever wanted to do is be a wife and mother. When I was young I asked my mom if it was ok if I didn't go to college because all I wanted to be was a stay at home mom like her.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I have only broken mt little finger and my little toes but have spent more time bandaged than anyone I know...between sprains, strains, and seemingly undiagnoseable knee problems.

I spend so much time covered in baby puke I don't notice the smell anymore

I was the only one of my sisters to go straight from H.S. to a 4 year college...I was also the only one not to graduate

I am scared that my kids will pick up on my insecurities.

I am terrified they will be like me.

I can remember all of the land line phone #'s I have ever had and no cell phones...including my current one

I have no clue how to change my oil...nor do I care to learn. (I did watch dh change a tire yesterday...that looked pretty easy but still probably wouldn't do it myself)

thats all I can think of right now

Our Lil' Family replied:
ME TOO! I have never known anyone else to have stiches there besides myself! It was actually the handle bar that cut me when I turned too hard...and it was a boy bike! OUCH!

Ok, what else about me.....

I was in 5th grade when I had my first kiss and it was playing truth or dare.

I went all the way to the east coast (Damneck, VA) to see my ex-boyfriend who was in A-school for the Navy as my "Senior Trip".

I don't shave my legs until absolutely necessary, like this morning because I wore a skirt to church.

I have my 10 year HS reunion this weekend and I already have butterflies in my stomach. I pray my ex (mentioned above) does not show up!

I have to breathe fresh air. I cannot lay with DH's nose above mine because the hot air from his nose hits my face and that is why I'm not a big fan of kissing either.

Crystalina replied:

Wow Crystal! Open mouth insert foot.

If I would have read your post I would have left my part about the prison out. I just want you to know that I did not read your post before posting. It was just bad timing on my part. I just don't want you thinking I posted what I did because of what you posted. It just doesn't look good me posting that after you posting about your father. Sorry.

PrairieMom replied: I had a 2 year relationship with my BF in highschool, but didn't really like him after the first 6 months. I only held on to him so long becuase I was scared I wouldn't have a date for senior prom. I broke up with him the first week of college.

My Dh and I didn't DTD until our wedding night.

I live 3 blocks away from where I grew up.

PrairieMom replied:
What else would you use a broom for? Golf clubs at the put put course are good for that too.

Bee_Kay replied: When I was 6, my mom kidnapped me from school and brought me to Canada (my parents were divorced)

When I was 12, I found out that my dad wasn't my biological father but he adopted me when I was 3 years old.

I am overly protective with Ashley and Tyler. Sometimes when they aren't with me I almost have go into panic attacks worrying if they are alright.

I never met my biological father. When I was 21, I tracked him down to Vancouver, BC. I also found out that my mother never told him that she was pregnant with me. Before we got a chance to meet, he passed away.

kit_kats_mom replied: What an interesting thread.

I hated kids until I had my own. Now, I still don't particulary like strangers kids

I lived on a 37 foot tri-maran for 3 years with my mom, evil step dad and step brother. We sailed around SF bay every weekend.

I volunteered at the wildlife rehab in my hometown when I was younger. I really enjoyed nursing sick wildlife back to health and releasing them back into the wild.

I found my dad when I was 16 after not having any contact with him for 14 years. Realized he's an alchoholic among other things and haven't made much effort to contact him since. I will admit that I now think he's totally insance because I've emailed him links to our webpage every month. Sure, he can diss me but those little granddaughters? Jerk. I really don't expect to feel a twinge of sadness when he finally dies.

I've lived in Hawaii, San Francisco, Florida, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Lousiana and Idaho. We moved every single year of my life until my mom joined the air force and married a navy guy, then it was 3 year stints in each state until we finally settled back in Florida.

I had just broken off my engagement from my BF of 7 years, when I met my DH in a bar. But I liked his best friend and my best friend was more his type. It took a year before we decided to date.

Ok, this is totally gross and please no one slam me for this, my DH teases me enough. I put 1/3 c sugar on my cereal. Usually grape nuts.

I am arachnaphobic due to a bad drug interaction in HS. I hallacunated that a spider sac burst and every hair on my body was a baby spider. All over my arms and everything. Now I literally barf when I see a spider...they FREAK me out.

I can't sing a lick or play any intstruments.

I am a klutz

I used to have a blue mohawk and be a club kid.

I loved gay clubs and one of my best friends in college was a transexual named Toni Denise. S/he actually hadn't had the full surgery at the time but he had great boobs.

When I was younger, I'd have premonitions when bad things were going to happen. For example, one day before school I didn't feel really sick, but I felt a pit in my stomach. My mom made me walk to school anyway (I was 7) and halfway there, I passed an open garage and a man was standing there...uh...pleasuring himself and watching me.

I once got in a bar fight with a girl who had been giving me grief for months because she thought I'd slept with her DF. I hadn't, even though he was super hot, but he did pass out on the couch at my house. She wouldn't let it go and one night at a club, she threw a drink at my head. I lost it and beat her up. I ended up breaking 3 of her ribs and her nose. I'm so glad she didn't press charges.

My family takes in stray people all the time. I have an "aunt" who is no blood but she's been coming to family gatherings ever since I can remember. There are loads of others too.

I broke my nose in gymnastics, the day before halloween when I was 8. I was going to be a ballerina but instead, my mom made me a boxer.

I was never hospitalized until I had my babies.

I used to sleepwalk. I would clean and organize things. My college roomates hated it because they'd wake up in the morning and all of the coffee mugs would be moved into a different cupboard. LOL

I quit HS when I was 16 and started college and working full time. I finally got my degree when I was 30.

I always wanted to be a vet, but I'm awful at math.

Related to that, my mom was dating my HS math teacher which is why I passed...with D's.

I ran away from home when I was 16 and blew up the engine of my 1971 super beetle. Left it on the side of the highway, hitchiked home with a group of harley people, and never saw the car again.

my2monkeyboys replied:
No need to apologize... he did what he did, and we lived how we lived. No one's fault, but his. It made me a stronger person, I think, so good comes out of bad when you look for it.
I would hate to work at a prison... going to one regularly was bad enough, and the prisoners for the most part, were on their best behavior on visitation day. I couldn't imagine how they are to employees. Well, actually I could. That's why I'd never work at one.

Another thing about me... I have anxiety attacks about fires breaking out at night and buildings collapsing (I mean real [U] attacks [U]... hyperventilating, unplugging everything in the house that I can reach, pure craziness). I've never had either happen, and I am supposed to me on medication for it. I just hate taking meds.

Also, I can't stand for anyone to touch my feet, no even myself hardly.

Our Lil' Family, I know exactly what you mean about breathing in other people's air. I can't stand that! And I can't have covers too close to my face either or I'll breathe my own air. Makes me feel like I'm suffocating!

yes, I know I'm truly crazy... but my DH loves me this way!

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Ooh I'm the same way!! I'm always moving my face away when Dh is trying to cuddle up to me.

Crystalina replied:
Well, it's probably hard to believe but the inmates weren't really that bad. Yea, there is the lying and the cat calls and snide remarks but the ones you really have to watch when you work in a prison are the other officers. It's a sad truth that most of the male officers are "donkeys" when it comes to a female officer and they will degrade you in every way. And God forbid you are married (like I was) and can't go out after work and party with them. Then you are a stuck up snob. Nope, the inmates aren't the problem at all. Most of them know their place and are repectful and only want to do their time and leave. I remember one day in the chow hall, it was July 4th, and there was one cocky officer who got in the inmates faces while they were eating and he was yelling, "Happy F#@!ing Independence Day! How are you liking your F$@#king freedom?" There are way too many officers like that. You can be a good officer and not be an @ss. I guess I wasn't an @ss enough.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Everyone talking about broken bones reminded me (or maybe it was this cold weather )

I broke my leg when I was 8 months pregnant with Taylor and it had to be surgically repaired (a plate and 9 screws). They couldn't put me out because of Tay so I was awake for the operation I have major anxiety about falling now and have thrown-up more than once when Tay has fallen-thinking she was hurt Thankfully she never has more than a bruise But she points to my scar and says 'I remember when we fell...and proceeds to describe the BIG bump and hearing mommy crying and the ambulance...It is kinda odd because she knows several details and it is not something we talk about

I am allergic to iodine and it is getting worse as I get older-I should probably carry around an epi-pen

When I was 14 ,I told my closest friend and my Mom and Dad I was going to marry Bill ...He was 22 and thought I was a cute little kid I changed his mind when I was 17 I still feel the same way about him now that I did then-butterflies and all

I can sing and I love to! Tay and I are always singing together

I am sure I have more...this is fun!

i cracked my right footdown the middle from my toes to my ankle, during the 4th game of my senior soccer season. went thru 3 docs before figured out it was broke. first two just gave me really stong drugs. i ahd a choice to cast it and heal in 6 weeks or take a specail orthodic and heal in 6 months to never. i took orthodic...tried to play but missed 3/4 of my senior season. to this day my foot never healed...after i play it swells up and hurts really bad. i can tell when weather is gonna change cause my foot hurts.

I did ALOT of hallucinogenic, mind altering drugs when I was younger, and tbh, I don't regret any of it. Every single meaningful spiritual revelation I ever had occured under those circumstances, and they became an intrinisic part of my moral code today. For real.
I fractured my skull as a 3yo, and for years my mom thought I was somehow brain damaged. (maybe I am )
While parked in a highway rest area with dh (then just bf) very late at night travelling between our 2 universities in upstate NY, we crossed paths with a totally freaky albino guy who tried to get into our car while we were, um, making out. We locked the doors, sped away and forgot about him. Flash forward several years- we're watching America's Most Wanted, and it turns out he was wanted in Canada for an unsolved rest stop murder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

grapfruit replied: Hmmm....I guess I'm inspired to add some "things about me". Hope that's ok, bc I don't yet have kids....


I smoked a lot in HS

Started college while in HS but it still took me like 5 years to get my Associates (I didn't go full time)

I'm not allowed to go to or call my dad's house because of my step-monster. I can call him on his cell phone, however you can probably guess how my relationship w/him is. Funny thing is, they've been together 17+ years but have only been married for a year. Don't you think she would have known before she married him, "Hmm, I don't like her, maybe I shouldn't marry this guy". She's a psycho, and has tried to get me fired even.

My 1/2 brother and I are close (he actually live w/me and my bf for 5 months this year) we've only reacently "gave him back" to my mom (he's 16 tomorrow). He's a great kid (although I found out first hand how hard raising a teenager who is used to doing what he pleases), and I feel bad that he has to live w/a mom that hasn't had a job in almost 2 years, and does drugs and is an alcoholic.

I have assisted in stealing over 20,000 dollers in things to feed my family. and I would never had done it if i didn't have to.

I have yet to have a boyfriend who hasn't cheated on me ( which may be why I refuse to let Lars use labels)

once i handed mya over to her grandparents and went to a special spot late at night and Drink my sorrows away and popped a zanex and talked to my grandfather.

I never went to the doctors after I had Mya until my m/c's last year.

I tried some drugs but they did nothing for me. I just drink.

I am a drunk texter and i tell it ALL. ( had to try real hard not to tell lars how i feel yesterday)

I've tried lots of drugs.

I got date raped in college and had an abortion.

I hate seeing the bottoms of people's feet. Nasty.

I could eat macaroni and cheese for every meal.

I need a breast reduction.

I love going to concerts. I've probably been to over 150 since I was 10.

CantWait replied: I've been avoiding this because I don't find myself all that interesting, however I see nearly everyone if not everyone has posted so here goes nothing.

My dad passed away when I was 2 months old, I only have one picture of him (which come to think of I don't know where it is).

I was a geek in school and didn't come out of my shell and actually become somewhat pretty till I was about 20, it didn't last long lol.

I smoked, drank, and did some drugs for about 10 months straight. I only stopped completely after meeting Ron.

I am very tempermental and got in trouble lots in school because of it. Again I stopped only when I found out I was pregnant with Robbie, I always thought of him as my angel He completely changed my life.

I was molested as a child by 2 family members.

I bite my nails. *boring*

I have never been anywhere outside of North America.

I could live off chicken noodle soup, grilled cheese and chocolate pudding (these are my comfort foods).

I didn't get my licence until I was 21.

I am really shy. (really I am)

That's it for now.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I just thought of something else.

I can cross one eye while the other is still staring straight ahead. I don't have a picture of it, but DH thinks it is the coolest thing EVER. He said if he could do that it would be dangerous how much he would use it at work. I can even wiggle one eye around while the other stays crossed. That's some strong eye muscle control.

I can also wiggle my ears, but I think that's pretty common.

3xsthefun replied: When I was about 1 year old, my dad was holding me on his lap, and my mom was trying to hand him a hot cup of coffee. My dad didn't get a good grip of the cup so the coffee got spilt all over my shoulder. I still have a scar.

Some ex-friends and I was running across a busy street, and I was hit by a car. The woman stopped that had hit me and tried get me go to the hospital, but I told her no, I was fine (I had ran away from home, I was 16) she was worried I'd tell my parents it was a hit and run. I did end up going to the ER, later that same day, I was really lucky I didn't have any broken bones or got hurt worse then I did. I only had some scraps on my knees and arms, but I payed for it for like a week afterwards.

The same ex-friends (same day I got hit by the car) stole my dad's truck. Because I wanted to run away. We rode around all over the place, until we stopped at some store so they could make some phone calls. The cops had caught up to us, because my best friends mom called them on us.

My dad was teaching me how to drive (I was about 15), and when I was going to pull into the driveway. I pushed on the gas instead of the brake, and the truck ran into a tree. I still get teased from time to time about this from my dad. He said I was trying to climb the tree.

I started dating Rob when I was 17 and he was 29.

I use to stay with my grandparents on some weekends (Rob was their neighbor), I would sneak out and go over to his house for a few hours, after everyone was in bed. Then sneak back over to their house.

I didn't have every many friends in school, I was pretty much a out cast.

I moved out of my parents house a week after I had turned 18, and moved in with Rob.

I didn't get along very well with my mom when I younger and was scared of her. She was kind of abusive. We get along better now then when I was living at home, though she still has her moments when I want to say something.

I didn't graduate from highschool (I'm very ashamed of this)

I didn't get my license until I was 20 years old.

I'm very shy person (I have very hard time getting know anyone)

I don't feel comfortable being in a large group of people that I do not know.

I have a little bit of a road rage problem, though I have gotten better.

I have never smoked a cigarette.

I have never done any illegal drugs.

I think I have a ghost in my house.

Me either. Both my parents drink beer pretty heavily, so now I can't stand the smell of the stuff. i can't get it near my nose.




I never had a sip of alcohol until after I was 21, (when it became legal)

~ i think i may be a closet alchohalic. ( i love vodka way too much especially when i'm in a mood) although it doesn't effect my daily life so does that really make it alcohalisam?? and i never drink arround Mya so I dunno but i love hard liquer.

~ I own 3 fake ID's from my past. none of the girls look like me. ( i should dig them up and scan them so you can see. it's really funny!

That's how I am!

I'm 25 y/o. I'm just barely 5 feet and I weigh around 95 pounds. I have to buy clothes from the girl's section.

People who don't know me well usually think I have an eating disorder.

85% of my diet is junk food.

I've broken all of my fingers, my toes, my wrist, and a few bones in my lower leg.

I'm a super clutz and it is not uncommon to see me walk into a door. The worst is when I some times accidently bang my daughter's head when I'm getting her into the car.

I used to be a baton twirler in high school.

I can't stand the taste/smell of alcohol.

I gag/throw up over onions, even smelling someone cutting them will send me to the bathroom. I can smell even one piece of onion on a McDonald's burger while it's still in the bag.

Both my kids were conceived through IVF. One cycle, but Bryan spent a short time in the freezer.

I was sexually abused by my step-father for over 8 years. Jerk!

I have a weird obsession with wanting my kids to have pacifiers, color matching the pacifiers with their outfits. I had well over 100 pacifiers of all colors at one time very recently.

I cannot resist buying strumpfhosen (tights worn in the winter) for my boys. It is very common here that boys wear tights in the winter. I just have to have every color/design out there. I just bought dragons and helicopter print ones last week. This year will be easier being here where it is common.
