Outstanding!
That sounds very similar to the CCC and I was hoping that it was.

I hope that you had lots of fun and made wonderful memories.

Thank you for your civil service.

They have changed their attire...but the logo and yellow hard hat are the same...I still have mine :)

Awesome, thank you.

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.

I've always been curious about the language of gifts! Do you mean like diamonds, furs, and fancy cars? .....:|

Not exactly....

Exactly. Thanks Gemme. :)

I don't like jealous people at all. I have had many people jealous of me and I can't stand it, I truly don't care the reason why but please just stop, it's NOT a good look.

Dad was the most important person in my life. I loved my Daddy very much, and miss him. Wish he was still around to hang with.

I prefer odd numbers.... (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11,13, 21....)
And the place holder... -0- (zero).

The only even number I like is.... 2. :giggle:

COOL katz when I was a kid I HATED the #4 I thought it was a 'show off" for some dam reason..............:lol2:

As far as I know there has only been ONE person who's been jealousy of me and I have no clue ,well OK maybe I have a clue or two, why!

She drives the top of the line automobile, owned her own home here and in another country, and had more money than a Rockefeller!

I've always preferred interesting faces more then classical beauty..I've always felt myself lucky (at a few things)

I don't like bullies. I know ... most people don't ... 'cept I've little reservation about coming to someone's defense ... even strangers. Not always a good things... but there ya go. :cigar2:

I could sit for hours and have sat for hours just people watching around a

Sephora's...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Getting to know you
 

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.

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!

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.

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:

One thing....
 

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. :)

I have half-siblings as well. One I met and the others I will never meet. My real father had a bunch of kids with different women all over the place.(He was in the Marines)

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 ...
