ol boys"

4. I was raised by a christian family ,believe in God ,but
Have became what some would call "pagan" over the past
several years.
5. I am a loner,have never had a friend long term,though I
would love to.
6. Young girls going through difficult times seem to be
drawn to me, I help them become strong and they then
fly away, I hope they think of me.
7. Want to know something about me?Just ask,I tend to
talk too freely :)
8. I love giving.
9. I am a "Tom boy",ride motorcycles,shoot guns,build fires
out in the yard to sit by ,love to fish and tromp
around in the woods,and lothe housework.

1) I'm a country girl thru and thru, I used to farm while DH worked a *normal* job. He gave me a new hay rake for mothers day one year. I loved it.
2) I love to shoot and have an enormous gun collection (and not afraid to use them).
3) Ms Suzy Homemaker I am NOT. DH knew it when he married me and never complains and still loves me.
4) I'm extremely loyal.
5) Honest to a fault too.
6) Do not know the art of tact or political correctness. I call a spade a spade, only way I know to get my point across.
7) I race Homing Pigeons.
8) Can't remember names and faces, but never forget a *voice*.
9) Hate to wear make up or dress up anymore.
10) Extremely possessive.

1.) I have an aunt, uncle, brother in law and sister in law all in the same 2 people.
2.) I found out the day my grandfather died that the man who raised me wasn't my "biological father". That's why #1 is ok.
3.) I'm not afraid to speak my mind and tell you like it is, but the first to say I'm sorry if I did wrong.
4.) Since my step children have moved out I have lost who I am and what made me- me. (who knew at 35 I would have empty nest syndrome)
5.) I secretly get mad when someone complains that they have lost their father when they are 40 or 50 or older..My best friend and I grew up losing ours at 13 and 18 in tragic accidents..I want to scream that they were blessed with the time they had cause we didn't get that time.
6.)I wish I would of had more biological children.
7.)I was named after a prostitue. (long story)
8.)I'm spoiled by my husband..and wouldn't have it any other way.
9.) I miss playing softball but the peeing on myself when I run makes it hard to enjoy the game-so I just use the excuse I'm to busy to commit.
10.) I'm obsessed with this board_ if I don't get on it daily I have withdraws.

Interesting post...I'll play!
1) I am stressed out by having too much clutter around me. Every so often I go through and de-clutter my space so I can think clearly and breathe deep.
2) I HATE having people underfoot in my kitchen when I cook (it is a great way to get yourself stabbed with a fork!)
3) I never wanted to get married or have kids and I have done both and love both more than I ever thought possible.
4) My favorite sounds are those made by water: ocean waves are #1, closely followed by rain and trickling streams.
5) My husband still makes my tummy flutter after 15 years together. But he makes me roll my eyes just as frequently :D
6) I never met any of my grandparents.
7) I cry at the drop of a hat - not necessarily floods or anything, but the slightest sentimental thing will make me misty...
8) I don't like to read the news because all the sad stories make me cry.
9) I think Tom Welling is the sexiest man ALIVE. He is absolutely freakishly beautiful.
10) I can't stand caviar - the texture of those little eggs bursting in my mouth makes me want to VOMIT.

I am playing devil's advocate here but, isn't this and the other post asking about unusual ancestors coming from a fairly new board member just the type of thing that a spammer might use to "get to you". Stuff you write here doesn't just stay here, it is available to anyone that googles the right words. My apologies to yrnstr but just a thought.

1. I am anally organized.
2. I hate suprises
3. I am brutally honest. I have no tact. This causes foot-in mouth disease a lot.
4. Most people think I have a great sense of humor.
5. Besides my husband, I don't have any close friends. I have trust issues.
6. I absolutely love Soul Train. The episodes from the 70s are the best! Peace, Love and Sooooouuuuulllll
7. I would love to be a track handicapper. Pay would suck though.
8. I love to bake, but I don't like eating what I've baked. Everyone loves my baking - especially at work. I will not eat eggs or grilled cheese sandwiches, unless I cook them. And I don't like my food touching.
9. I've spoiled my cat and bird and they are so obnoxious that if we do have people over, we have to put the cat away and tell strangers to stay away from the bird.
10. I have no sense of rhythm. My husband is a musician and it drives him nuts when I'm tapping to the beat of a song and I'm totally off beat. He says it's like finger-nails on a chalkboard.
