getting to know you..... Give me ONE ........

[Stone-Butch]

when my father was in the hosp. my mom wanted his jewellery so it would not get "lost". He handed me his watch, wedding ring and initial ring (same initial as mine). I gave my mom his wedding ring (which she gave to my brother). I have his watch and ring and wear his ring often. My father passed away 3 days later and my mom 5 years later. I have my moms wedding ring as well. (which I hope to give some lady some day). I have many things belong to them but that ring is the last thing my father put in my hand before going into a coma and passing. It is my prized possession that keeps him close to me.

[JDeere]

I wear a ring on my thumb, often.

[girl_dee]

mine is like a spinner,,,, helps me when i spin the thumb ring....

[Contradictor]

I don't know whether to post in the femme zone (because I don't feel femme) but I can't post in the butch zone 'cause I know I'm not butch. But I guess that's not the sort of thing for this thread?

Another thing... I have a Master's degree that I have never used.. Not very proud of that one TBH :)

[NavyButch]

I have a thing for keys. To the point where I have done research on them. Whether skeleton, winding keys.. just any type. I am fascinated by them. I just received in the mail today two necklaces I ordered off from Etsy that are steampunk themed- one is a skeleton key and the other is a winding key that you would use for a pocket watch.

[Glenn]

I had an addiction to sixties cars. I owned 9.

[PaPa]

Many years ago I extensively studied the anatomy of the back and massage on my own and considered an occupation as a chiropractor. I abandoned pre-med when I found my true passion in working with persons with disability.

[Soft*Silver]

I do not have cable or satellite tv. I refuse to pay extreme amounts so businesses can shove commercials into my life. I have hulu and netflix, no commercials.

[cathexis]

Winter is my favorite season. I love big snowflakes.

ME TOO

i just don't watch TV!

[girl_dee]

it takes me all of 15 minutes to get ready for work. :blink:

[homoe]

For some reason I just loathe the website Rotten Tomatoes!

I have no clue why, but it just rubs me the wrong way for some damn reason..:movieguy:

[NavyButch]

When I get an oil change or anything done to my vehicle, I feel like I am driving a brand new vehicle. Something just feels better about it.

[Gayandgray]

I don't know if it's because I'm obsessive/compulsive, but I keep a very close eye on my gas tank in my car. If it drops below half a tank I panic and rush to the filling station to filler up!

[Contradictor]

Not a fan of TV either. I'll waste hours on the Internet though :)

[Soft*Silver]

I eat sandwiches with no dressings of any kind. Cheese sandwich? two slices of bread and a slice of cheese. Ham and cheese? A slice of ham, a slice of cheese, 2 pieces of bread. No extras.

hamburgers are different....they go on buns therefore they are not sandwiches. I put ketchup on those..if I eat them with a bun. Often, I just eat the burger

[Bard]

I have been told that I can be intimidating and I find that rather amusing when actually I am a softy, however I do tend to keep distance a learned thing.

[girl_dee]

i will never be able to eat meatballs again, without thinking of a little someone i knew once :blush:

[*Anya*]

I don't know if it's because I'm obsessive/compulsive, but I keep a very close eye on my gas tank in my car. If it drops below half a tank I panic and rush to the filling station to filler up!

I am exactly the same way. I figure if we ever have an earthquake or zombie apocalypse, the first that will happen is that there will be long lines. I remember the oil embargo of 1973 when the gas lines were horribly long and gas stations ran out of gas.

Yes. That old.

[introverted1]

I have a bizarre knowledge base.

[IrishAmazon]

When I get upset or things feel out of control I have to turn the music up and clean anything and everything.

You are welcome to my apt. anytime you get upset. I'll provide the food and drink. lol

Anyway, I get obsessed online periodically. Will start on a topic, continuing link to link for hours, until I obtain information desired complete satisfaction or exhaustion.
Have fallen asleep with my head on the keyboard.

Have amassed a boatload of useless trivia inadvertently.

[girl_dee]

when i leave work i turn into another person. The hair goes on top my head, windows down, music LOUD and dancing all the way home, right there in my little car.

Me too but my hair comes down I like it blowing all over, its invigorating and relaxing, and puts a big ole grin all over my face.

I feel sorry for every one else racing down the road not enjoying the easy things like this.

[girl_dee]

i love having an hour to myself before i start my day!

[homoe]

I have spend hours and now fear, I am hopelessly addicted to shopping on Redbubble

[Logicaly]

I have a major fear of needles and yet some how every day I manage to give myself insulin 4 times a day because I have an even bigger fear of being attached to a pump for the rest of my life.

[girl_dee]

sleep has always been an issue for me! *looks at clock*

[Kätzchen]

I clean my laundry in particular ways. And I dry things in particular ways. Not all things are machine washed. Some things are hand washed. Not all things are dried in the same manner, either. Clothes are folded or hung up, as they come out of the dryer. In orderly, sorted fashion. Dry cleaning goes to my favorite dry cleaning shoppe. Not all laundry gets the same soap. I detest dryer sheets, though. Because my place has no room for my own washer or dryer, I use the community washing facility. Because of this factor, I often wear nitrile gloves due to unknown hygiene factors. I have an compromised immune system, so it's necessary to limit exposure to unknown health concerns.

My residence is very tidy, too.

[akiza]

i have a little bit obsession with everything of supernatural related,all the myths,different creatures or paranormal places... and yeah a little date in a haunted house can lead you at my door lol

[girl_dee]

i twist my hair and can't keep still....

[easygoingfemme]

i twist my hair and can't keep still....

Me too, all the time! We could be the fidget sisters.

[Chained Daisy]

i twist my hair and can't keep still....

Me too ! I curl a piece around my finger and then stroke it with my thumb ! Its very soothing....I`m 52 ! :blush:

[girl_dee]

lets get those fidget things!

[Soft*Silver]

my hair is kept so short, there is no way I could twist it at all..lol.

My favorite jewelry to wear are my pearls. I was given a three strand set of pearls that I adore...but when I was given them I felt I was too young to wear them. Now, I feel I am the right age and boy, do I love to wear them!

[homoe]

I hate having hot food wrapped for a to go order! I will often say 'for here' only to scoop up the stuff and walk out the door! Wrapping anything hot, especially in tin foil, creates steam and makes food soggy!

When I buy stuff in the hot deli and they put it in an enclose container with an lid, I pry open the lid just enough to let steam escape so moisture/condensation doesn't build up and drip down onto the food!

[girl_dee]

my eyes are deep green.... my fathers are ice blue, and my mother are dark dark brown... i got a combination of the two

[IrishAmazon]

I am one of those folks who does not mind so much if a person gets killed in a movie but let anything happen to an animal and I am OUT.

I also prefer my dog to most people, he has better manners and is kinder. Though there have been some rare exceptions.

I'll never tire of seeing fireflies or lighting storms!

Way to bust a girls whimsy

[StoicStone]

I can't stand disorder. My shoes are always neatly lined up at the foot of the bed. If a book is hanging out slightly from the shelf I have to straighten it. My drawers are always neatly arranged with certain articles of clothing in a certain placement. (like t-shirts on the left, long sleeved shirts on the right.) and I dust on a daily basis because I can't stand seeing dusty shelves, etc. My bed is always made with perfect hospital corners.
It isn't because I was in the military, I have been this way since childhood.

Its so good to be neat and tidy and organised, a place for everything and everything in its place as they say. I can be very organised most of the time but I do let it slide now and then and find myself playing catch up which I hate !

[girl_dee]

i am the opposite. i gave up my need to have everything in its place when Katrina hit. i used to spend my nights organizing and reorganizing. Now i keep it tidy but the OCD that i had is gone.

[Lyte]

I wish I was more tidy ... more organized... I'm very much so at work but not at home. I'm pretty sure my lack of motivation to keep the homestead in tiptop shape comes from having to do so much housework, yard work, repair work, etc... etc... as a kid. Now, as an adult, I get to say ... EFF-IT! :p

i absolutely love flying kites! big heavy ones that i have to anchor myself down for on the beach. Love it

i drink way too much coffee every day. We drank it with milk as kids and it just seems normal to me to have a cup of coffee in my hand all the time

I have a fascination with the sky and landscapes. Recently have been catching some amazing photos of dusk and sunset. Especially when there was fire smoke in the sky.

[homoe]

I have an affinity for college campuses either urban or rural and especially in autumn!

[cathexis]

Am not too fond of running into potentially dangerous wild animals (moose, elk, bear, cougar, bob cat, any snake, etc.) in nature.


I would immediately look for the emergency brake switch to stop the ride so I can get off.

I meditate in the shower for few minutes and picture myself in waterfall in Hawaii or somewhere exotic.

[indigo]

I can TOTALLY relate to that! I started to drink coffee with a lot of milk and sugar when I was like 11 and had a black-only phase between 17 and 26, than again with milk and sometimes sugar, now back to with (lactose free) milk :D

I tried to swith to black tea, but this never worked out.

[Degotoga]

I'm not easily impressed.

I tried to swith to black tea, but this never worked out.

I didn't drink coffee until I was 20. I would take morning breaks with my other managers down in the coffee shop.
Back in the day when dept stores had everything. I started with cream and a little sugar. I really don't like sweet drinks, so the sugar got eliminated quite quickly. So it's just with real liquid half/half or for a treat, heavy cream. It seems my adult tastes have changed.

When I was growing up, before the pool was put in we had two giant avacado trees. My Mom put them in salads. Chopped up, all slimey, covering the lettuce sometimes. I picked them out. Then, just like that, I loved guacamole. Now, I can cut into one, salt and pepper it..yum. avacado sandwiches. ..now your talking.
And yet, liver and lima beans remain....yucky!

Go figure...and I love textures!
Yes, to cottage cheese and oatmeal, gizzards..etc...

[Gemme]

I am SHOCKED that my boo likes neither watermelon nor fresh cherries.

There's something wrong with that.

I love to receive gifts, I perform acts of service (cooking meals, keeping the house tidy and clean, washing and drying and putting away laundry....etc), I love to spend quality time together and crave physical touch. I like hearing affirmations because it's good feedback, but I take care of myself and the one I love by providing affirmative value in quiet valuable ways.

and i absolutely love spending quality time together....

also.... i have never craved physical touch, but i learned recently that it depends on the person <3

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I don't like it when people just walk up and hug me, especially if I don't know them well. I do this thing where I grab their hands and squeeze them before they can grab me - I used to just suffer through it.

[2qt]

I have a phobia of Rhino Beetles or beetles of any kind really lol

[Chained Daisy]

Me neither....in fact only people I`m really close to get a hug. Not that I`m not a smiley, warm, caring soul straight off meeting me, I am, I`m just guarded about my personal space....that maybe a new flaw I`ve discovered in myself !

When my children were younger there was a `Mom`pal that would throw her arms around you if you happened to be passing by the school gate at the same time, like a long lost friend. I used to see her twice a day, 5 days a week :| One time when she was particularly enthusiastic pulling me to her I couldnt help but say "Gosh its been so long since I`ve seen you, at least 6 hours" I`m pretty sure it went straight over her head.

I was a employee of the United States of America Department of the Interior Youth Conservation Corp the summer of 1974...

I was kicked out of a home for unwed mothers as a teenager for looking at the other girls too hard. They were looking at me "hard" too, but I didn't complain.

:bow:

[Orema]

I love apples.

[girl_dee]

Orema thats crazy!


i was sent to a girls home when i was a teenager, but the nuns weren't ready for me just yet. i actually loved the structure and would have stayed if allowed to. My parents thought it would scare me, but it was more sane and quiet than being at home.

It was insane and surreal and I hated it. One half was living quarters and the other half was the hospital. And we weren't allowed to see the hospital until we went into labor. So much secretcy. So unhealthy...

My dad (my hero) came to pick me up when they gave me my walking papers. He said something like "they said you were looking at the girls" and I told him they were looking at me too. We went to have shrimp and strawberries (my cravings at the time) and never discussed it again.

Georgia, I have nearly the same identical problem....so I totally hear you.

I have issues with people touching me as if they know me, when they don't really know me at all. I only accept touch from people who I know and appreciate greatly.

I don't like people who randomly assume that it's okay to touch me ..... in friendly or not so friendly ways.

[girl_dee]

i tend to believe/trust people even when i know better.....

[homoe]

Whenever I check out at a store, I like to have the odd change to go with the bills so I won't get any additional back!

I had a customer once who would only write a check for an even amount, then give me any odd amount in coins, maybe that rubbed off on me, I dunno! She claimed it was much easier to balance her checkbook!

[Kätzchen]

I am an intensely shy woman.....

I only open up under the right conditions......

[girl_dee]

i cannot swim worth a darn, but i sure love floating around......

[Orema]

I do not like all-you-can eat deals.

Smörgåsbords were the thing when I was growing up in Michigan and it's where my father wanted to go for any and all celebrations.

All-you-can-eat deals are popular in California, especially at the casinos. I dont' gamble and don't eat enough (at one time) to enjoy the casino nights with the girls, though I love to see a good entertainment show at the casino.

[Orema]

I love getting change back and sometimes I'll use dollars when I have enough change. I collect the change in one of my favorite jars and spend it during the holiday season. I usually save between $70.00 and $120.00 each year.

Ice cream always puts me to sleep. Even Gelato will knock me out. Haha!

1974 was a fun time :). What did you do in that organization? Any park work or environmental work?

There were 16 of us from all over the state of Kansas. Our main objective was at 3 state lakes. We built shelters, cleared trails and beaches as well as maintenance of the dams (at that time these lakes were man-made specifically for irrigation of crops).

We conducted wildlife counts on the kangaroo rat, the golden eagle and the intrusion of evasive fish. Reestablished the trout and large mouth bass at the local fishery. We were paid a stipend of $30 a week, lived in the university dorm, wore khaki shirts with jeans and boots all military and required hard hats. We also earned 6 hours of college credit.

Sorry for the long answer-thanks for asking.

I worked in civil service during college. A different branch but it was a wonderful experience. I worked on behalf of endangered species. That worked out well for me because I spent the next 20 plus years of my career working on behalf of endangered species.

Lovely experiences.

my hands... they are aged, knuckles bulging from arthritis, veins popping through my skin. They ache and they tire easy... They look like the hands of someone 20 years older than me.

These hands have touched so many people, touched their pain..touched their cancer, their ALS, their MS, their aching bones... their whatever.....and the aftermath of dis-ease..young and old... these hands have touched their feet, their heads, their hands... their bodies... they have held their hand while they crossed over....

and energy has funneled through them long before i knew there was an official name for it.

i feel pretty lucky about this.

The Harry Potter movies are my feel good movies.

I am a big wuss in the dentist's office. I don't go nearly as often as I should, usually not until I'm having some sort of problem. And I can't even get my teeth cleaned without gas - as it is, my stomach cramps up in knots, I clench my hands and feet, and I usually get nauseated.

[cathexis]

Am not as evil as I look, usually. Yet, tend to be the type of person most will often cross the street seeking to avoid. If with of friends,
forget it... thery'er gone. Don't know why, we are friendly and helpful. ill even help them with car trouble, but often thry're to scared to ask.

Sadly, too bad for then.

Dentists are certified sadists.

[JDeere]

I don't like being baited, if I feel I'm being baited, I will turn my back on you and completely walk away, I don't play games.

[Gayandgray]

I am very over-protective of my butch spouse since she became disabled. I tend to baby her a lot, according to my friends and family. I wait on her hand and foot when I'm home, especially since she started going blind.

[indigo]

I am addicted to buying books and magazines, a lot more than I can manage to read, so they pile up on my shelves and tables. This causes problems when I move - I don't have a car.

[Chad]

I was raised to believe that respect is expected for those who earn it and social etiquette is a form respect.

These days I think that I am in the minority for these old ideals.

I could not agree more! Isn't the younger generation teaching their kids manners? No 'please' or 'thank you'. it drives me up a wall as well!

Thanks buddy, unfortunately I think that the issue is not limited to young folks.

[homoe]

Hearing someone on their PHONE being verbal abusive! More than not, it's a call dealing with customer service and even tho that can be hellish just remember you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar!

[girl_dee]

i am for the first time in my LIFE watching Musicals.. today is Sound of Music. i am SO touched by this movie!

[SirenManda]

I am too caught up in the idea with "saving" people I care about, even when they don't need/want me to help. Trying to learn to disassociate myself with situations that aren't really any of my business. Harder than it looks.

[Kätzchen]

My first cousin Richie and I share the same birthdate, except my cousin Richie is (or rather, was --- he passed away some years ago now) 10 years older than me. I was born in 1959, Richie was born in 1949.

Richie's parents were my aunt and uncle, my dad"s sister (Margaret) and her husband Karl. They owned a whole mountain over in Idaho. Uncle Karl and his son's, my cousin's. Richie and Nate, and their close pal Jesse, were loggers....they logged the timber on their mountain property. Years ago, Richie, Nate and Jesse formed their own rockabilly band and played in mountain tavern's as a hobby. My cousin Richie was the 3-man band's lead singer and guitarist. Cousin Nate played bass, Jesse on the drums.

Anyway, for as long as I remember, cousin Richie would call our family telephone number, on our birthday, and he'd do his Elvis impersonation. He always had his hair styled and cut just like Elvis Presley, and he'd pretend that he was my admirer and future boyfriend and sing songs by Elvis to me.

Ooooh, those were the days!!! :stillheart: :balloon:

[PlatinumPearl]

I always carry a medium sized purse even when dining at a fine dining establishment and I always make sure to carry an extra pair of shoes... flat shoes.

I have natural nails, which I buff and gloss on a weekly basis. My thumb nails are so long, that I can use them to expertly open an card envelope perfectly. :)

Same here, my brother died of AIDs and i found out after. No idea where my sister is..

My father apparently got around which is why he moved us away ...

[Gemme]

My half-brother defected from the family. He took his wife and boys and no one has seen or heard from them since. That was eons ago, when I was young.

Witness protection?

Holy Moly my (other ) half brother did the same thing. We have no idea where he, his wife and his baby girl are. Its been about 15 years.

I'm monogamous, VERY vanilla, and very particular about aspects within an romantic relationship.

Some might say that my dating pool is very small. But I'd rather be in a romantic relationship with someone who gets me, rather than having a fuck ton of people bashing down my proverbial door (I get fairly cranky when that happens).

Can I say if just once I had this dilemma of yours, I'd be thrilled to death..:awww:

Of course I do admit to being a "2x4" butch so perhaps someone has and I never noticed:blink:

[candy_coated_bitch]

[akiza]

i've learned that my father had 4 child after me 3 girls and 1 boy one of the girl had birthed a kid i have yet to met them

[Tuff Stuff]

I have broken two bones on my right hand. First time was as a child, fell off the wagon...:shocking: :bigcry:


Second time around was earlier this year when I broke my middle finger...didn't hurt so much this time.I was lifting something heavy using just my fingers and just like that it snapped...I blame old age.

The wife gave me hell! :getout:

[girl_dee]

i was once in an accident, my car went into a ditch that had a few feet of water in it.. as i was seeing the water pour over the windshield and the car, my life flashed before my eyes.

i didn't believe in that sorta thing, until i saw it. It lasted a microsecond but it also seemed like it was in slow motion. It was like frames of parts of my life moving quickly across the windshield right in front of me.

Also, another few feet and there was a cement wall in the ditch rather than water and mud, we would have all been killed.

One more thing: i have escaped death a few times.

[Gemme]

I'm pretty sure this isn't my first time around the block.

I can definitely relate to this!
I am definitely selective with whom I share time with and date. I'm very aware of time and realize that once lost can never be given back and so I choose wisely who to invest time and energy in whether it be in a relationship or friendship.

[PlatinumPearl]

I have a Type A personality and tend to get along quite well with other Type A personalities.

I like peanut butter and mayo sandwiches. My mom used to fix them for my brother and I when we were little so I don't know any better...I swear!

I love to watch football. You might hear me cheering rather loudly or listening intently. I'm always learning new rules...those odd ones that don't happen to often!

I'm even known to conjure up side bets...not always monetary 😜

And now I'm looking at football cable packages..we aren't satisfied with just what the locals want to televise.

[girl_dee]

i am also a HUGE football fan! i just love the game. New Orleans is a football city, win or lose we love our Saints. That became even more true after Katrina. :cheerleader:

My Nan (may she rest in peace) told me that when I was a child I liked ketchup on just about EVERYTHING edible - including icecream.

I have never understood why some folks want to control me. Let me be me and see how wonderful that is.

Artists must be artists

[Ascot]

If I happen to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and it's chilly, I will pull my comforter up so the bed retains heat for my return.

[Chad]

The best way to get to know me in my personal life is to think of me as a cat. If I want attention then I will show up otherwise I want to be alone.

Haha! Funny but true

[Tuff Stuff]

My entrance music was Toxic by Britney Spears.
It wasn't intimidating,was more for me, a sort of let the dance begin.

I no longer fight..

[candy_coated_bitch]

I would love to go vegan, but I can't seem to get past my love of cheese and ice cream.

[homoe]

There was a period of about 11 years that I did NOT cook and owned only a sauce pan to heat up soup!

I lived on and depended on deli, take out, and food courts!

I loved it btw..........no grocery shopping, clean up or dirty dishes to wash!

[Gayandgray]

I can get so lost in a book or browsing around on Pinterest that hours go by before I realize it.

i'm highly allergic to all kinds of alcohol...beer, most wine, vodka..all of it:praying:

[BullDog]

Other people may like or even love pie. However, I am obsessed with pie - all kinds - both pastry and graham cracker crust.

[Esme nha Maire]

I don't like beer.

I have a goal that is very challenging to me right now. I have no idea what day it is or time, sometimes. I am working day and night to succeed.

Even though I can't see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I know it's there. I will make my goal!

That much I know.

I am grateful for my daily planner, it keeps me on track.

Have a beautiful day everyone. You all are awesome!

Stay safe.

Thank you.

[C0LLETTE]

people tell me that i'm short. I had no idea.

[CherryWine]

I typically sleep on my side and have to have something covering my exposed ear as I sleep. Usually it's a blanket, which I ball up to contour to my head as a second pillow, and then I flip a corner over to cover my ear. I also need constant noise such as a fan or white noise machine. No TV though.

I'm a picky sleeper. :)

[girl_dee]

i have to have a cover on me, not matter how hot it is.
