I remember paying by the liter here....back in the 70s when none of the gas pumps could go over a dollar. Ah, the good old days...
WOW!!! I love this thread...took me half an hour to read what all had been posted since I last read it! But it was worth it! I am learning so much about you all!!!!
Hissy, I have had the dream about losing my teeth a few times too....not sure why, I have really good teeth, but I guess it just freaks me out thinking about losing them.
Deb, they make lots of vanilla colognes...Vanilla Fields is a good one and Coty makes an awesome Vanilla musk....I have them both.
Anne, I too hate roaches!!! I have no problem with spiders or any other bugs, although I don't care for them, I don't get hysterical and I can kill them, but a cockroach just gives me the heebie jeebies!!!!
Can I do a few more??? (this is addicting!!!)
11. My middle name is Jean
12. I played with barbies till I was 16
13. I slept with teddy bears till I was in college
14. I have a horrible fear of dying and finding out I didn't make it into heaven (although I am fairly certain I will)
15. My mother was often very emotionally cruel to me although I loved her (god rest her soul)
16. I am obssessive with my hair (I have on occassion spent 3 hours fixing it just to go out if it was a really important event)
(I never told anyone that) I can't stand it if I have a hair out of place, and I KNOW that is absolutely ridiculous!!!!! I hate that about myself!!!!
(I might add that the 3 hours was because I redid it three times because I hated it!)
17. I am very insecure about the way I look
18. I have a bad habit of using my credit cards too much, though I try not to..I am very compulsive when it comes to shopping.
I'll stop there since I have already used 8 more turns than I was supposed to!

I love this thread...so I will add some more
11) I have a fear of mirrors at night time - I think it stems from when I was a kid and I saw a movie in which a young girl saw a evil ghost in the mirror and ever since I was afraid to see one myself.
12) My family thinks I am a goof. I have always been the joker of my family and now it looks as if my son is just the same!
13) Sometimes I will wear my jammies all day - I love flannel jammies, they are so comfortable and I never want to take them off.
14) The ocean is one of my favourite things to look at, I lived near the beach growing up and being here in the mountains makes me miss it every day.
15) I am addicted to pavlova
16) I have always wanted a pet chimpanzee. But no one will let me have one.
17) I hate my food touching other food on its plate. I am not OCD but there is something about mixing food that I dont like.
18) I have a very soft heart and I feel very sorry for people very easily.
19) I am very interested in the life of Gia Carangi, which was taken too soon.
20) Growing up, my nickname was Smellye. (My name is Kellye for those who don't know it)

I'm not afraid of 666. If the price of everything becomes 666 all the time, then I will be wary! I used to work at McDonald's, and some people would acually buy extra stuff to avoid getting $6.66 change.
Here's a little more about me:
My middle name is Zachary
I once had the misfortune of seeing my own mom nude (ugh)
I used to type one-page fantasy stories as a kid. Beginning, middle, and end all in a few paragraphs.

LOL! My mother used to dash around from the bathroom to her room all the time wearing nothing and scream and yell that she couldn't get any privacy. I could do 10 things on my mother alone...
1. I am a youngest child. I have two older sisters.
2. I never dated while in high school. I was very shy when it came to members of the opposite sex.
3. When I was a freshman in college I came down with Mono.
4. I love to read and I think I've now finished all of Lilian Jackson Braun's books. I prefer mysteries.
5. While learning how to drive in the school's driver's ed car, I was hit while sitting in park by another car.
6. I have been living with my younger boyfriend now for almost 3 years. Never would have considered it "proper" 10 years ago.
7. I love chocolate and consider it one of life's finest foods.
8. I have an interest in photography but haven't pursued it yet.
9. I am a messy person by nature but I get paranoid if I have company over.
10. My favorite quality in a person is their sense of humour. If someone can make me laugh than I have a lot of respect for them. Love Jerry Seinfeld and got to see him in person!:laughing:

Well, after all that, this should be quite mundane...
1. I'm the youngest of three (an older brother and an older sister);
2. My first time EVER on skis was in the Austrian Alps;
3. I attended a radio station Halloween bash adorned as Jesus (dragging an 8 foot cross to boot!);
4. I've never taken SAT's or any other college-entry exam;
5. I'm currently starting a college career with the long-range plan of becoming an ordained pastor (and NOT because of #3 above);
6. I LOVE to travel;
7. I adopted my/our son after our marriage (his "father" didn't even flinch);
8. I've been identified (in performance evaluations) as "confrontational" and "unapproachable" and as "having issues";
9. I nearly lost vision in my right eye after a freak deck-hockey injury (the pupil no longer contracts and dilates, but stays constant);
10. My middle name is Edward for no significant reason that I am aware of.
Das ist alles.

No fair peeking at my yearly evalutions!
I believe in a "creator," but I also believe it is beyond our ability to comprehend or understand. I don't believe in a grandpa smiling down upon us.
However, I also believe in evolution, and I don't see at all that they are mutually exclusive.
I also believe in alien life, I think it's amazingly egocentric to NOT believe in other life somewhere in the universe. But I add that I have a good enough comprehension of physics to understand that the likelihood of our encountering other life (or it encountering us) is essentially none.
I also believe there are an infinite number of universes and realities all co-existing at once.

...I always cry when I see someone with Parkinson's Disease. I don't know why.
I know what you mean Laurie about the parkinsons disease, I was upset when I saw Michael J Fox on a tv interview and he was explaining it all. It was very hard to watch him.
We thought my hubby's grandmother had it, but as it turns out, she has a brain tumour and by the looks of it, it is inoperable.

Debby, my middle name is Jean as well! So is my moms. I haven't run into many people at all with Jean in any part of their name.
I'll post my 10 things a bit later!

This is such a great thread! I've been so busy with the holidays this is the first chance I've had to read it. But now that I'm back at work...
1. I was a total dog person until Ophelia happened into our lives. Hubby was the one always trying to convince me that we needed cats. (Obviously a staunch convert now!)
2. Although I always have and always will love dogs, all of my terrifying nightmares have been about dogs. Usually about our family dog going demonic in one way or another.
3. I loved being in school, and I miss it terribly. If I could be a "professional student" I would.
4. I used to (and hope to get back into) shoot high-power rifle cometitively. I was the first woman in Colorado to make Master classification (94% or better), and the 41st woman in the history of our sport (since 1880s) to make Distiguished Rifleman.
5. I don't want kids. Nothing against them per se, I just don't want them.
6. I hate answering phones and yet am a receptionist.
The need for money to survive will make one do many undesirable things.
7. I have written a novel about vampires based on a short story I wrote in college. After I finished it, I realized that the characters were flat and the plot too predictable and stale, so I want to completely re-vamp it (pun intended). I just haven't gotten around to it.
8. I don't like sweets in general. My mother always had desserts there when I was a kid, and now neither my sister nor I have sweet tooths.
9. I used to ride hubby all the time about being on the computer so much and couldn't understand how he could consider people he had never met to be "friends." Then I found The Cat Site....
10. I don't have any real fears, but am totally grossed out by worms.

Way to go Heidi! I love shooting too - but I've never been in competition, and only picked it up because Gary had guns when we moved in together, and I figured I'd better know how to use them. Turns out it's a hobby I enjoy.
Kellye, I'm so sorry to hear about your hubby's Grandma. Hubby actually had a brain tumer, but we caught it early and he's fine now. It was operated on a year ago October.
