Whoami | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 01:27 pm     1. I hope Lucy doesn't have tinsel on her tree for her kitty to choke on (not to mention what it does to their insides. 2. My sister is a veterinarian, so I end up with a lot of horror story do's and dont's on things like tinsel and stuff! 3. I loved War's braclet story. I'm thinking her husband found the braclet for her, and put it where she could find it! 4. My mom's childhood dog came back to her in two different family dogs later on. 5. I think my grandmother co-occupied our oldest dog's body for a while. After grandma passed on, the dog started taking on some of grandma's behaviors. 6. I don't know if I can get to 16! 7. My favorite colors are blue and purple. 8. When my dogs were pups, I bought a blue leash/collar, and a purple leash/collar, and put the items in separate piles on the floor. I then had each dog chose thier colors. Each dog made a beeline to thier perspective colors. Those have been their colors ever since! 9. The dog in #5 was a huge Bronco fan. When she passed on, I think she went on the field and helped the Broncs win their first Super Bowl! 10. Same dog also knew the game of football. She'd be in the living room watching the game (yes, she was an avid TV watcher). We'd be in the other room doing chores, and she'd start barking and carrying on. We'd come in to discover the Broncs had scored, or made a big play. She wasn't just responding to crowd noise on the TV either, cause she always responded to Bronco plays, whether it was a home or away game. 11. My old work had a football pool, where you'd guess the winner of each game, and the one with the most correct answers won the pool. Someone once said they had a gorrilla at the zoo "pick" games, just to prove it was all chance anyway. Inspired by that, I started having my football fan dog make some picks. She won three times! 12. A lot of people quit entering the football pool when they found out they were losing to my dog! 13. Nobody has ever asked me to elaborate on any of my facts! Either I'm getting too elaborate here, or my stories aren't intriguing enough! 14. The dogs in #8 and I played a trick on my sister. She used to always rely on the collar color to identify the dogs. So, just before she came over, we switched the collars. Sure enough, she started calling them by each other's names. When we finally revealed the trick, the dogs sat side by side in front of her, grinning huge at her. They were saying, "ha ha, we fooled you! Can you tell us apart now?" 15. I'm finally almost to 16. My luck, I've spent so much time on this, someone else already did 16, and I'll have to come up with a 17th. 16. I can always think of a lot of things to share when I'm reading other people's lists. But when it comes time to finally do my own list, I tend to draw a blank! |
Lucy | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 01:32 pm     Thanks Whoami for the tinsel warning. We don't use tinsel on our tree and I've moved all the tempting ornaments up a little higher on the tree. |
Schoolmarm | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 02:03 pm     1. I am VERY happy that Spy and I are applying at the same university in Oregon. 2. I wish I could convince her to apply to some more in the "snow Belt" 3. Oh, well, I'm not applying in the South, so we are even. 4. It's a long story why I'm not applying in the south. 5. I would like to go back to Las Vegas just for kicks and grins. 6. I actually feel pretty well today...and hope I don't get the flu AGAIN! 7. I gave one final today...three more to go. 8. I still have two bags of papers to grade, but the pile is getting thinner. 9. The professor in the next office is playing some really pretty music on the piano. 10. I have a piano student coming for a lesson in about 10 minutes. 11. I almost ran out of gas today. 12. I only had a one dollar bill and $2 in change, so that's all I put in. 13. I decided to drive to my parents instead of fly...leaving at about 8:30 pm on Christmas Eve and will drive through the night. 14. I am afraid to book tickets on United because of their bankruptcy. 15. I sleep with the TV on quite often....sometimes I'm VERY surprised what is on if it wakes me in the middle of the night! 16. I don't like pumpkin pie. 17. I am looking forward to the next Star Trek movie. Gosh, that was hard this time! |

Jbean | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 05:39 pm     1. i actually "attempted" to ice skate yesterday at my employee christmas party. (*note it is NOT like roller skating, which i can do well) 2. i have a bruise on my whole kneecap and my wrist. 3. fell 3 times and decided i was done with it. 4. my friend was a natural...i was waiting to see a triple axle....lol, i teased her about being in the movie ice castles. 5. i feel every bit of my age plus about 20 years older today (thanks to the "ice skating"...if you want to call it that) 6. i have the most amazing friends. 7. the one i spend the most time with has the same first name as me, which can be quite confusing sometimes. 8. i started taking prenatal vitamins to make my hair grow faster. don't know if it's actually working. 9. my cold is FINALLY starting to go away and i actually FEEL a lot better, but i SOUND more conjested now than before. 10. i am a big baby when it comes to being sick. 11. i went to the movies and saw solaris yesterday..it was really bizarre. i'm still confused about it.... |
Fanny | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 05:42 pm     I actually went through and counted up everyone's posts today. Do I need a life or what?? Anybody curious? |
Cyn | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 05:50 pm     of course! |
Twinkie | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 06:15 pm     I am, Fanny!! |
Strawberry | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 06:29 pm     1. Fanny made me come in here 2. I was hoping we weren't on such a high number 3. I hate ice skating, but I love watching it 4. I love roller skating 5. I like all kinds of music 6. My favorite movie is Sound Of Music 7. I love to sing, especially in the car 8. I love traveling 9. 24 and Alias are my favorite shows on TV right now 10. I loved the 1st Lord of the Rings movie and can't wait until Dec. 18th 11. I want to go to Scotland someday 12. I loved Raggedy Ann and Andy when I was a kid |
Hermione69 | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 06:45 pm     1. This is my second time doing this. 2. I can roller skate okay, but will never in this lifetime be able to ice skate, water ski, or snow ski (because my hearing loss effects my balance too much for those!) 3. I also want to go to Scotland because I want to find the Loch Ness Monster; I used to write stories about Nessie when I was a little girl. 4. I loved the 1st LOTR movie also, and if you twist my arm, I will even admit it is better than the Harry Potter movies and I am totally prepared to fight Webkitty and Moondance to get to Viggo. 5. I would actually choose to watch 24 over Survivor if I had to pick one. 6. I have bad dreams often- usually about hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, tidal waves, or a combination of them. 7. I don't know what I believe as far as God and ghosts and spirits and the afterlife, but reincarnation makes a heck of a lot of sense to me. 8. I would like to come back as a well loved housecat. 9. With my hearing aid, I can hear music well enough to enjoy it and love Tom Petty enormously. 10. I love football, especially the Virginia Tech Hokies, but am getting turned off by the trash-talking and showboating that is becoming more and more prevalent. 11. I have very long, dark-blonde hair and I know it needs to be cut, but I don't want to cut it (it would drive Fruitbat crazy). 12. I knock on wood, throw salt over my shoulder, pick up pennies, and wish on shooting stars. 13. I am a Friday's child. |
Kady | Monday, December 09, 2002 - 09:12 pm     1. I am gonna check my son out of school early on the 18th to go see LOTR. 2. I have never dyed my hair. I'm a natural blonde. 3. My husband was 22 when we got married. 4. We got married on April 22. 5. We lived in apartment #22. 6. Maybe 22 should be my lucky number. 7. My favorite color is pink. 8. I am so happy to see facts from more people. Thankyou 9. I love movies that make me cry. 10. I have a dentist appointment in the morning. 11. At one time I had 2 employees with the same name as me. So that made 3 Karens. 12. Also at this same time I had 2 Hollies. 13. Just last week I hired 2 girls named Christie. 14. I'm not sure what # we are supposed to be on but I'm ending here. Maybe I should go to 22.  |
