only because the engine 'blew' in my mustang... i was working so much that i had no time to look for another car. my mom and step-dad volunteered to car hunt and i let them. both were tighter than the bark on a tree and i was $$$ strapped, i figured they'd find me a bargain. i bought the car sight unseen on their say-so.

WARNING - DON'T EVER DO THAT! hahaha... sure, it was a "great deal" & had very low miles but i suspect that was because nobody wanted to be seen in it now i drive a beat up old blue pickup - beat up cause, well - I drive it! haha!

so Daniella, did you become a truck driver? i had horses too. and i am glad you survived the accident!
 

No I never became a truck driver. It was a funny thing I wanted to be when I was like 6 years old...

Anyway you are suppose to list 5 things we don't know about you..it's a game...
 

2. When I was a pre teen I wanted to be a carpenter like my dad.

2. I spent my childhood in Hawaii from 2-13 years old. My brother and sister were both born on Kauai, Hawaii.

3. When I was a 17 years old I left home.

4. My first car was a pinkish beige nissan 210 that I got when I was 23.

5. 23 is how old I was when I learned to drive
 

1. My screen name is -laserred- because MY favorite color is red!

2. My favorite car I had was a '95 Mustang, COLOR:..."LASERRED", that I had to get rid of when I moved to the Northwoods, cuz it didn't do well in the snow, and I had a hard time getting up my driveway in the winter

(I now have a RED Grand Cherokee) No problem driving in the snow now, or anywhere else I want to venture to!)

3. When I was little I was afraid of dentists! When I 'grew up" I was a Dental Assistant for 15 years!

4. When I was young I had a dog named Kitty. When he was a puppy, we would call the cats to eat and he would be the first to come, so from then on, we knew if we wanted him to come just had to call out "Kitty" and he'd be right there, so his name became 'Kitty".

5. I'm afraid of heights I found out at a very inconvenient time, so I now know I'm also afraid of Roller Coasters

This is fun!

2. Favorite car was a Hugger Orange Black stripe 1969 Z-28 Camero(brand new). Really fun driving it. Lots of punch. I had a horse too, but car was prefered horsepower.

3.I 'just' had 5 kids and raised them myself. Or they raised me, whichever.

4. Been married two times, both of which ladies are still 'good' friends.

5. All my girlfriends 'now' are four footed with long faces and those that are not new mothers right now are expecting soon. They keep me too busy and tied down to look for real sweethearts.
 

2. Although I sing about it all the time... I NEVER wished I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner.

3. I am not uncomfortable around fish.

4. I've never been good at climbing up a free hanging rope.

5. I have always wanted to go see the Petrified Forest.

2. I have promised myself that I will, one day, read Ulysses. (I've made it 1/3 through a few years ago).

3. I have a love affair with Kenneth Cole shoes.

4. When I was a teenager, I dreamt one night that I had a unicorn that ran away because it was scared of my housemate's dog.

I cant stand clowns. Mimes annoy me.

I love to do laundry.
 

2. I'm bad at math, but often feel compelled to calculate the difference between the two sets of three numbers on my state's license plates.

3. I don't like vinegar.

4. I would gladly pick up frogs when I was a kid, but wouldn't dream of doing it now.

5. I can sing or hum at least part of pretty much any commercial jingle or theme song I've ever heard.

1. In 2 weeks I will begin waitressing parttime. The restaurant is still being built. Just found out where it is located -- in a business park sandwiched right in between 2 HUGE corporate buildings...on the right BlueCross headquarters and on the left HealthAmerica headquarters!! Do ya think they'll be good tippers????? UGHHHH the irony...

2. I am (was) a professional librarian.
I don't fit the stereotype at all and I don't like to shush anyone ever.

3. From the age of 9 I wanted desperately to someday be the Pittsburgh Pirates foul-line girl, or, even better, the ballgirl. Grew up at the old Three Rivers Stadium. I collected baseball cards for years and decorated my room will wall-to-wall Pirates clippings, photos, memorabilia. Loved my Dave Parker trash can. Wrote to Dave Parker numerous times, then mom said that was enough... Very odd girl I was. "We are family..."

4. I LIVE for Survivor. Someday want to be on it. Seriously. Will mention lyme as often as possible.

5. I love bluegrass music!

[This message has been edited by fish (edited 22 March 2005).]
 

i love music. we have tons of cd's from our regular forays to used cd stores. jazz, rock, folk, blue grass, brittish folk rock, blues, hip-hop, klezmer....but the polka is not my doing. my husband bought a polka cd to torture me.

i'm nature girl. i used to garden. don't think you will ever keep me out of the woods, but when my kids go off to college, i'm gonna be a city girl.

when i was 5 yrs old, the brat down the street that i usually didn't play with thru lime in my eyes. (the white powdery substance, they were doing an addition to her home.). both eyes were burned and i almost went blind in my left eye. i have 20/15 vision in both eyes still.

i almost got pushed off of hawk mountain when i was 4 yrs old by one of two boys chasing each other and one pushed me to get out of the way. as a result, i'm terrified of heights. hasn't kept me from hiking the grand canyon or smokie mountains. or off roller coasters. i love roller coasters!
 

Keep them coming you guys this is great!.......

Kara - Can we all mail you our laundry?

So here's mine:

1) I figure skated for 5 years but didn't start 'til I was 15.

2) I'm obsessed with penguins (maybe obsessed is a little too strong a word, but I really love them)

3) I played the violin for 7 years (age 7-14 or around there)

4) I have a teddy bear that I got when I was 6 months old from my grandmother and I still sleep with him at night (his name is AB which stands for "Annie's Bear" - aren't I adorable?!?)

5) I have been involved in things at the local art center (The Marion Art Center) since I was 4! (I took "Kinderkeys" at 4, started ballet and private piano lessons soon after, then theater classes at 8, voice lessons around 13, and started teaching theater classes at 18! I'm still working there and theaching theater one day a week and in the midst of directing an all-child production of Alice in Wonderland!)

Whew, I went a little overboard with the details there, but it's nice to be able to put up non-health info about myself!

Peace and healing,
Annie

I love animals, especially horses.

I love Harry Potter books!

Daniella- I used to have an iguana with the same name and ability to escape as your horse!

1)I am cursed with the ability to see both sides of a situation

2)I always have music playing in my head- I can hear a song once and have it pop in my head years later. Sometimes I have more than one song playing in my head at once, which is REALLY annoying.

3)In my heart, I am an artist. Writing, photography, painting, sewing, embroidery, even creative card stacking- I love it all. And I'm too insecure to ever try to actually publish/sell/share any of it, except my sewing- I was a historical costumer for a while. Had to stop for the sake of family harmony, it takes up so much space when you need 15 yards of fancy silk to make one dress...

4)One of the qualities that I most admire is organization. Because it's something I've never been able to get a handle on myself, even before my brain got slymed.

5)I am a roller coaster junkie. Last time I went 'coasting it almost killed me due to cardiologic effects of lyme, so now I surf websites reading about them. But someday soon...

I've been accused of being an optimist. I say I'm a realist who prefers to try and see the good. When asked whether the cup is half empty of half full, I say it depends on if you're pourin or drinkin.

4. My nickname is Demando-Comando !

5. I walked over a 65 foot canyon on two ropes. (yes, I was tied in.)
 

Yeah Trillian I'd rather have a loose mammal tham reptile...

He used to wake me up by snorting at my open bedroom window in the summers. Weird he knew just where I slept...

daniella

1. I have a white cat named Calvin, who is 16 and part simease and has woken me up in the night crying, more than my child ever will.

2. My favourite colour is purple.

3. I love to dance and dance music.

4. I dropped out of french immersion in grade 7, and my husband is French and my son speaks it as well and I don't!!!

5. My favourite show is survivor.

Lymiecanuck
 

I love the ocean but am to scared to swim out very far in it...

My dreams facinate me and I look each one up to see what they mean...

Dark chocolate is my favorite

I have camped my way across the United States and back

1. I used to like the taste of stamps but can't lick them anymore.

2. I am allergic to eggs.

3. I was voted my HS Senior year to have the best hair and prettiest smile. (I was the first to go gray!!)

4. I enjoy photography as a hobby and want a new digital camera but meds come first.

5. I would rather people watch at the mall than go shopping.

------------------

 

2. I used to run a bakery out of my home, I lived on a farm and made healthy bread for the students at UNB. I have always loved to bake and cook.

3. I used to knit lots, bought tons of wool in Ireland and England many years ago. Have knits suits, jackets/skirts, hats, you name it. And I love doing it. I also used to sew lots, for my kids and friends but never for myself, strange eh?

4. I used to love dancing, when I was 16 and out of school, I went to a dance every single night and on Sunday afternoon. My mom used to say that even after I was asleep, my toes were still twitching.

5. I loved to sing, but mostly came out as tunes. My daughter (the one who wants to be an opera singer) says I am a wonderful singer, but could never hear the actual words, so often made up my own. Just found out last fall that I am quite deaf. She is giving me her hearing aids, she needs another kind. I will get them adjusted for me. Imagine that, I will be able to hear my own voice and then will realize what I sound like to others, hehehe.

Best of all, I love to laugh.

2. I prefer listening to RUSH above all other music. Will go to great lengths to go see them, too.

3. Unable to afford a conventional house, I thought it would be cool to build a house out of straw. So I did. First one in my county. One cool little house.

4. My hair is so amazingly, unbelievably, frightfully curly, that I have to travel to San Francisco annually and have it straightened professionally for a ghastly sum.

5. We have dogs, cats, and a horse - and I talk to them regularly in different 'voices.' My daughter mocks me for this but does the same thing herself.

My first car was a 1970 Plymouth Duster from my Grandmother. We were roommates and I adopted it.

I owned a saddle when I was 13 and owned the horse to go with it when I was 15. My first love... he passed away last year at 33!

I wanted to be a forest ranger and/or an artist.

I love to laugh.
