Cathi--That is great news!

Cathi you are an inspiration, one very brave lady.

Everyone at TCS are such lovely people, thanks for sharing all this information with everyone. You are wonderful and I certainly feel I am getting to know you all better, and I like what I am finding out. I do hope more and more people share some of themselves with us.

Who me an inspiration and a brave lady? Nah....I just hope that by telling my story I can get some young person to not do the things that I did at a young age. If I can get just one to not try drugs or to finish school than that will be the icing on the cake for me

Five things you may not know about me...

1. I'm only 5 feet tall.
2. I like to carry my cats around like babies.
3. I collect items/toys from the show "Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat".
4. I know Tommy Lee.
5. I hate selfishness more than anything else.

Raising Huskies and Cats is cool Unfortunately I didn't start with a pup when I got Nakita and Dakota was an older pup, so they think that any small furry animal is a new toy for them. I can't let my kitties around those two terrors at all

1. I'm only 5 feet tall.

looks like we are all similar - 5'1" with a 6'2" husband

I was 5'6 1/2...not sure these days, I'm shrinking a bit DH is 5'8"

Both my parents were 5'8'...I was so jealous! Cousins on one side are under 5' or just above, on the other side, the male cousins closest in age to me are all over 6'2 (neither parent was particularly tall...go figure!)

I love this thread!!!

5 things you didn't know about me...that is tough....let's see...

#1. I love to sing...I sing at alot of weddings, singing runs in my family, they all sang. my brother who lives near me sings at funerals, I do weddings...I cry too much at funerals, even if I don't know the person...I don't know how he does it!

#2 It is hard for me to trust...but once I have a friend I know I can trust, I will always, no matter what be there for them! *hugs to special person*

Partner up with someone! It's the best thing I ever did for my business. I love both graphic design and web design, but I hate doing the backend database stuff...so I partnered with someone who hates graphic design and is fabulous with the backend stuff. We're a perfect match!

Well I guess since no one really knows me at all this shouldn't be hard

1. I'm into art, I make art - but I'm not an artist
2. I want to own my own business and am considering including animals in it
3. I hated cats until I had to deal with my ex's insane love for his own.. then I started to become more and more in love with their behaviors.
4. I'm 19 but I always seem to get along with other people better - its been this way since I was about 12.
5. I go to the University of South Florida

ah, thats all I could think of! Wierd.
