-1- I worked in a Scientology Center for 1 month...I did some filing, and organized Accounts...I marveled, each and every time, at the amount of money some people paid for Books and videos {ex: 1 Book I was browsing, I checked the Price, and almost dropped it, $450.00}..I did leave, after I realized they weren't gonna pay me with Money, but rather...Auditing Lessons...

-2- I spent 3 summers working as a Sports Counselor in a Deaf childrens summer Camp...I would happily do it again if I could, I bumped into the kids frequently when I did grocery shopping, I would see them literally drag their parents to me, and Sign wildly about the stuff I taught 'em {At the time, I would mumble "this island is too small"..but then, I was 18 when I said that}

-3- Because I've been drinking strong coffee since early childhood, it's very Rare that Caffeine will have any effect on me...on the same subject

-4- Anesthesiologists have a tough time with me..it's not so much 'allergies', but rather, I'm resistant to sedatives..Generally , they have to give A lot, or I will wake up mid-surgery {it's happened}..I had a tooth removed recently, the dentist was merciful, after giving the max dose to numb my gums, I still felt it...she added a bit more, it helped, a little..the tooth was deeper/bigger than she expected..

-5- I break the ice with Humor..And I do try to quash tense moments with it as well...If it doesn't work, I drop the humor, and let 'em stew...
