I really don't believe I'm smart despite being a member of MENSA

I hate my Pops when he calls me by my birth name rather than a name I find acceptable, which he does all the time.

[Blade]

I'm learning to relax, it's hard but I'm learning

I've watched about 6 or 8 movies in the last 7 months, that is 6 or 8 more than in the last 10 or 15 yrs combined

I sleep better in a sitting position and with Skippy than I do lying down or without Skippy

I love the smell of clothes hung out on the clothesline but they make me sneeze

I hate procrastination and am probably one of the worlds worst for it, and I don't know what to do about it.

[Andrew, Jr.]

I am spontaneous.

I love to watch the ocean waves crash onto the beach. It's so relaxing.

I sleep walk and talk severely.

My adopted brother and I have farting contests still.

I don't see cemetaries as creepy (unless it's pitch black and there's creepy 'someone's coming to get you' music playing in the background). I think that's because of two things. One, I'm not afraid of death at all. Two, I find the living substantially more fearful than the dead.

I used to live down the road from a small, country cemetary and loved going down there to get away from the typical rotten childhood.

I think more people are choosing to be cremated nowadays than be buried. I am one of those people.

Then again, there's those funeral homes that have been charged with putting multiple corpses in one grave and/or selling the corpses' parts off without the family's notice.

I'm more worried about future generations than the past, though I think before we, as a nation and as humans, can progress, we have to look back and learn from the work of our ancestors.

I use to get lost in stores as a child, quite often. I remember this vividly. I cant imagine letting my own child wander off like my mum did me. I could always find my mum by her cough. She had sinus drip and it made her cough all the time so I would race around the store until I heard her nagging cough.

I have been getting some pretty bad head aches. I tell them to take a number and wait in line with all the other problems..lol

I prefer Wendy's to all other fast food restaurants

I drink my coffee with 3 sweetnlows and 2 creams.

- i am a pickle lover, hand me a jar of tangy dills and a fork to pull them out, and i'm a happy camper!

- i spend my days seeking positivity & smiling because i refuse to accept life is anything but great! i was once who dwelled on negativity, and because i did, that's exactly what i got!

- i , at times, feel my godmother around me..she passed away 10 years ago, and was a source of strength for me all through my life - they've been times i've been very sad and feeling lost, or a situation i've been really scared..

- i had a very vivid imagination as a child, and would have found fun out of a dustball and spoon if need be.. my imagination helped me escape from the reality of my childhood, and i still use that vivid imagination as an adult today.

- the word peeps, as friends, is a peeve of mine, lol.. peeps, are marshmellow candy...i roll with homies, not peeps LOL..*groan* i know, i know!

Dill pickle lovers, unite!!!! Claussens are my favorite.

I haven't had a decent, home-fried fried pickle in a loooong time. I was probably about 11. THIS place has fried pickles, but it's the spear and I prefer the hamburger cut type.

I have had their fried green tomatoes and they are really good.

I haven't had fried ice cream since I moved to Texas. Something feels wrong about that.

I had some sweets and now I feel sleepy. Sugar never used to to affect me but now that I've significantly cut down on it, it makes me tired.

[Soft*Silver]

I crave orange sherbert when I am sad

I love to wear Mary Jane shoes. Isnt that what they are called? The ones with the little strap across the top?

I have no means of playing music on the main floor of my house

I have always wanted a white leather wallet and never bought one for myself. I guess I thought it was frivilous to want something that would get scuffed so easily.

I dont normally do that (the above) I indulge myself of the things i want when I can afford them. I remember opening up my mother cupboards and seeing all the clothes we had purchased her for holidays, that she never wore, because she was saving for special occassions. She died before she had a chance to wear them. I swore I would not do that. I would put out the good china and wear the nice things and buy the precious desires when I could...

Since losing 23 lbs (so far) I no longer have pain in my hip and I don't feel incredibly tired in the mid-afternoon.

On the subject of pickles, my favorite are the kosher garlic pickles that you used to be able to buy in barrels in the deli section.

Last night I dreamt that I was hanging out with two friends from high school (who I haven't seen in decades, but are Facebook friends). They were engrossed in a college football game that was on TV, and were kind of cuddling on the couch. I was feeling a little left out because there was no room for me on the couch. I took off my coat and realized that I had accidentally taken my pants off (!!!). I got really upset when I noticed this, and blamed it on dementia. I blame Facebook....

I just got in touch with a woman who makes bouquets out of vintage brooches and other jewelry. She's going to make bouquets for my daughters and me, for our commitment ceremony. She'll incorporate brooches that I'm going to send her that belonged to my grandmother and Candy's mom. I'm so excited!

I belong to a book club. We meet every month for dinner, but we usually haven't read the book. It's an excuse for old work buddies to get together.

[Rockinonahigh]

Pickles,pickles and more pickles....love then I do,mostly I really like the mount olive sour pickles..I cant get enough of them.I will shurely eat dills or bread and butter pickles,I always have a galon jar(sour) on the kitchen table just like the big ones we use to get at the mom amd pop store.

[Medusa]

All of this talk about pickles has me craving some of those sweet gherkins!

[sylvie]

who knew my post on pickles would bring out the pickle lovin' members :P
yaaaaaay!

some more on me..
and Ryan you dont count if you read this one, i will find something you DONT know about me eventually hahaha!

1. when there is a bug someplace in my house, i rescue them and deliver them out of my house someplace safe, lol.. i have found spiders new outside homes, and even parachuted a ladybug via plastic baggy from my window to my children's hands so they could release her elsewhere...*smiles*

2. i grew up putting my heart into music as a child..it was an escape from my reality - i sang in a choir, which led to a local television show for a couple of years, which led to playing violin & changing styles to fiddle, a little piano, and finally learning some mean harmonica skills from my Pepere to boot..i wish i kept up with it all.. i would like to learn acoustic guitar though.. maybe that's something i will do this year =)

3. i am petit mal epileptic.. (no seizures) just dizzy spells & headaches, depending on how well i take care of myself.. i choose to not take medication for it..and am not ashamed to say i have epilepsy anymore.. it's something i was made fun of for, all through life..

4. i still have my raggedy ann doll i got from my godmother (RIP) back when i was 2 years old.. my poor raggedy ann doll has seen better days.. she barely has hair, has holes through her face, has holes beneath the arms, tummy and even the crotch LOL.. oh and she's blown a foot off somehow, and losing the 2nd one.. i still display her proudly though, she sits on the corner of my makeup bureau cuz she's pretty darn special to me... despite her "scars" she's beautiful to me! =)

5. as a child, i tormented my stepsister (and she still loves me, go figure).. i concocted a scheme that i found a picture of a dirty looking yak in a national geographic magazine, it was scary looking to us, and named him Cat Man.. (dont ask lol) .. and told her that *points to magazine* that is Cat Man and when you are sleeping at night, he sneaks into your room so you have to be careful he doesn't get you! i would even sneak into her room and write messages on her chalkboard from Cat Man for when she woke up and would tell her that he hates when she doesn't do chores or share her treats (she would share all her treats with me and help me do MY chores LOLOL...) When my stepsister got married years later, during her reception dinner , it got mentioned and i was sooo embarrassed that she even remembered it LOL funny things we do as small children...

[Lynn]

When I don't get invited to a party (any party), I feel hurt and left out--even parties of neighbors who I don't know very well. Being included is a thing of mine, leftover issues from junior high.

I walked past my cat this evening and she high-fived me.

There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't feel incredibly lucky and grateful for my family, love, job, and home. And, I believe that gratitude is the key to happiness.

My honey already started showering me with Valentine goodies. So far, chocolate covered strawberries and fancy caramel and chocolate covered apples, new pillows, a cool organizer for my car, and a bus day trip to Boston in March. Tomorrow is dinner out and a movie. I'm such a lucky girl.

I always get so surprised when someone, otherwise intelligent and worldly, expresses bigotry. It happened today, when a client was telling an interesting story about his life, and all of a sudden, I heard, "...and it was because of the Jews." I was trying to keep my professional hat on my head, but I felt like crying.
