I am not sure, but they are at least to me.
1) I can write mirror image
2) I would love to go back to live in the country and buy the same house I had to sell when I lost my job (I want my old life back)
3) Going back to school at 48 I have realized that I may do this again, God knows what my next career move will be.
4) I love black and white movies and watching Golder Girls at midnight.
5) I hate calling my sister. She is the only person in the world that hurts my feelings and she manages to do it within the first 2 minutes of any conversation.
6) I hate drinking water but force myself to.
7) Had very curly hair and hated it. Grew it when I became an adult and will never go back to curly.
8) My daughter is 24 and I would love to be a grandma while I am still young and strong, but that will not happen any time soon. I have to respect her choice to be alone. Dating, but no commitment.
9)I love driving long distances all by myself listening to Queen.
10) I love it when it rains because I don't feel forced to go out and when it snows because it becomes so quiet that you can hear the snow touching the ground.

1. Hate loud noises. Keep it quiet.
2. Not counting when my kids were born my happiest day was when I found some money on the ground, but that isn't what made me happy. That money had a billfold laying on the ground not too far from it, but that isn't what made me happy. I called the number in the phone book that matched the driver's licence and called it. I had a very hard time convincing the lady I had her husband's wallet but finally did. My happiest time was when I saw that man's worried face and his relief when I gave it back to him. I felt sooo good going to work that night that everybody asked if I won the lottery. Weird isn't it?
3. Don't like alcohol.
4. Have never even tried to smoke.
5. Love staying home and watching movies
6. Love to watch it rain or snow.
7. usually very quiet in large groups but in small groups will talk more.
8. Santa burned up in my chimney when I was 5. I was so scared for a whole year that my friends would hate me when they found out he burned up at my house. So now I dislike having santa decorations at Christmas.
9. Love lots of blankets on at night especially during the winter.
10. I wouldn't mind finding Mr. Rightforme.

Here we go...
1. I learned to do all kinds of needle-arts in high school. Most people who know me are amazed that I can display that kind of patience.
2. Decided at 13 that I didn't want kids...have never changed my mind - but I borrow them if I am in need of kid time.
3. Dream every single day about winning the lottery.
4. Have 4 girlfriends that I have known since Kindergarten.
5. Would rather spend time with my dogs than with people.
6. Am addicted to pretty underwear.
7. Can't stand to be around people with bad breath. I will even make excuses to "get away" when I have to.
8. I can't hold a grudge.
9. I don't know what color my hair really is... I've been coloring it since I was 25.
10. Like being single. (Don't tell my husband)

ok, here goes....
1. I broke both my wrists at the same when I was in the 6th grade. That's when my parents found out I needed glasses.
2. I have the patience of a saint.
3. I play Sudoku every night in bed before I go to sleep.
4. I have a vast wealth of knowledge about construction/remodeling.(no formal training or education on it either) Even my husband is amazed!
5. I haven't worn makeup in years. I like the natural look. It helps I have really dark eyelashes and more olive toned skin.
6. I think sleeping is a waste of time. A few years ago i could do fine with 5 hours, now I need 7 and it pisses me off that I had to give up 2 hours of time that I could use to do other stuff.
7. I am very analytical.
8. I was born on the cusp of Capricorn.
9. I can't stand "close talkers".
10. I love ice cream and cereal and have been known to eat ice cream for breakfast and cereal for dinner.

Don't think there is anything unusual about me but since we're sharing:
I do not like nor subscribe to organized religion!
I chose not to have children.
I am loyal to a fault but when I write you off, I write you off for good. (Do not recycle friends)
I LOVE PIZZA and redwine.
My fascination is transgendered people - not in a nosy judgmental way but in a curious psychological manner.
Most people are surprised that I'm not a native because my accent is minimal (unless I had too much red wine lol) - some think I'm from the mid-west.
I immigrated when I was in my early 20s and that time was so hard, but I picked myself up and worked through it. So failure is really not an option.
When it is quiet, I cannot concentrate. Need the TV or Radio on in the background.
I have a very warped sense of humor that can easily move to the dark side.
I have the bestest little sister in the world.
I'm a slob.
I'm still in love with my hubby after 38 years.
