Tell Me Something.....

[Nighthawk]

I defied all the rules I could and joined the mens wrestling team in HS. I got kicked of when I beat a college student in a comp.
I love doing stained glass or at least I used to.
I fly stunt kites
I used to show horses

I would like to learn how to knit. I'd like to try 'knitting' plastic bags (real 'greenie' thing to do- look it up).

On another note, I worked out for half an hour and then had a piece of pie.

But, it was home made blueberry- blueberries are healthy foods- right?

And one of your 5 a day.

I have a duplicate tube that goes from the bladder to kidney on the left side only - spare part available!

I have an undersized bladder - fondly called 'peanut' by Anthony. Apparently when they discovered it they could have stretched it (don't know why they didn't but I guess the surgery wasn't for that) to Anthony's annoyance as it's his bug bear when we are traveling as I need pit stops more often than him.

I'm a descendant of the convict James Ruse, I once pretended to be the man from snowy river and galloped down a hill on a horse and broke a bone, and I have Type 1 diabetes(as if PTSD isn't enough).

I grew up in the Man from Snowy River Country Maze but I didn't break any bones

Ahhh.... that reminds me.....

As a single mum for a lot of years cash was tight and I valued all possessions. I was trying to get a young teenager to do as asked but he just sat in his room with his tv and computer ignoring me. In an attempt to demonstrate I was serious I pulled his hard drive out and took it out of his room and went to get the tv. I was getting cross and told him I should throw the stupid thing through the window. He said (and rightly so) "you wouldn't damage anything mum as it would cost money" so in an attempt of defiance against a 13 year old

, I pulled the tv out of the wall and put it in the corridor. He pushed me saying "I told you that you wouldn't throw it" so I kicked it and broke my toe. Very funny now but not at the time and I felt so guilty I stopped and bought him a new tv (only small one) on my way to the hospital as I had cracked the case.

Everyone thinks I am taller then what I really am. I always wanted to be a race car driver. I can repair almost anything on a car and actually enjoy it when it's warm outside, but all knowledge of vehicle repairs deserts me when it's cold out. I really can cook, but I don't like to so I just say I can't cook well.

I will read any book I get my hands on. I have a genius IQ. I drive way too fast. When I'm not having nightmares most of my dreams are glimpses into the future.

Sometimes when I'm real stressed/anxious I can't hear and sometimes I can't see. I freak out when it's both at the same time.

I am lactose intolerant.

I absolutely hate winter. I hate the cold weather, the snow and feeling trapped indoors.

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. No matter what is going on in my life, I always manage to find something to be thankful for.

Think I'm just fascinated with people in general but this thread is wonderful. I love winter but don't say so since so many hate the cold. Some of this feels like truth or dare, though. Like I used to stop trying to talk that *sswipe out of stopping drinking the entire bottle of Jack-if he wanted to do it and die of alcohol poisoning then fine.

Have re-read the same books for 30 years, yes read new also.

I can knit but crochete has defeated me for 4 decades. Also juggle but just well enough to do it- one of those college things where it was the thing of the moment for a week or so.

We used to play a form of touch football on horseback. It's not very safe because you have to drop the reins to catch it but don't think that occured to anybody at the time.

Nice topic!

I am born in Marocco, altough both of my parent are dutch.
I have worked with deaf children and deaf blind grown ups, and loved it.
I know (dutch) sign language and how to communicate (fingerspell in to the hands) with deaf/blind people.
I love good music and know alot about it, to the extend of being a music nerd.
I live with my little girl and two old smelly but loveable dogs who seem to compete with each other in farting contests as they grow older.

I love to watch "The Big Bang Theory"!
