nuff said:cool:

Thank you, Ginger, for making my day! :) I just came home from a really rough shift last night. It was such a pleasure to read what you said about us nurses. Most of us really do try, I think...and really do care about our patients. (I'm sitting here w/a big, big smile.) :D And so glad to hear that your hand is doing so well!

Sorry you had a rough day, Blue....but I'm glad I helped. Hell, I think you guys should get complementary drinks and foot-rubs at the end of every shift at the very least ;) .

1) I've never gone to college and regret it to this day. I would still go now, at age 45, if only I knew what I want to be when I grow up.....*sigh*

2) I prefer cold food to hot food. Cold pizza or chinese is perfect! I wait to eat dinner till it's cool. I've never sent anything cold back to the kitchen in a restaurant. I don't even like my coffee hot (but don't like iced coffee much either) so I only pour 1/2 cup and top it off with cold water.

3) (Really long story...condensed) I had German measles when I was 15....and I didn't know I was pregnant till I was in my 6th month. I had decided, way before I knew of the complications, to have the baby but that I had to give the baby up for adoption (not because of the complications of the measles....which there are many.....but because I had no hope for a proper life for myself, let alone my child, at that particular time) . My son was born on December 9, 1973. I never saw him (but mom did) or I would never have given him up. His parents are wonderful and loving and that's all I had hoped for. He's overcome most of the (birth) complications and he will be 30y/o this year. They never told him of me and I respect their wishes....but they know I am here should they ever need me. I've supplied all medical and family info that they would need and have sent cards and letters to the agency of his adoption since his birth. His file is available to be opened by him at any time. Boy will he have lots of mail! Oh.....and I know his name is Todd!

4) After Todd....and due to complications...I have been unable to have anymore children. I'm not sad about it....though there were times when I was in the past. I have a wonderful life with the knowledge that my son has an equally wonderful life with parents who needed and love him as much as I would have if I could have!!!

5) I don't feel deserving of things (material things) because I know what it's like to be dirt poor. I never dreamt I would EVER own a home as beautiful as the one I have. I tried to never dream of such things while I was growing up. Sometimes I pull into my driveway and sit there in awe......I actually have to will myself to be convinced that this home is mine! Ergo my passion for Habitat for Humanity. I know the sorrow of living in poverty...and I know the happiness of having a home to be proud of! Pinch me!

6) I try not to kill any living animal. Even flies...which I know are dirty little things...I'll try and scoot them out the door or window. When a wasps nest, or something similar, shows up too close for comfort and I know it has to go...I tell hubby and leave the area because my heart aches for their lives lost. But.....ironically......I'm not saddened by the thought of, nor do I fear, death for myself! Go figure!

7) I sleep with a fan on in my bedroom....winter, spring, summer and fall.......and have done so since I was 12.

8) I'm claustrophobic! I love people but can't be in crowds for too long.....so I always find a reason to "escape" outside or to the lobby or somewhere other than there for a moment....to catch my breath. I'll ride an elevator but have to know the escape route as soon as I enter the doors. I'll never have an MRI unless it's "open air".........AND my one and only bathroom is too friggin small! Arrrrrrrrggggg!

9)And yet......I scuba dive! Some people might think that would be a claustrophobic's worst nightmare....but believe me...it's the exact opposite if the visibility is good to great!

10) I wasn't born with that "stop and think before you speak" thingy that, it seems, everyone else I know has! If I think it....you'll know it! You'd think I'd learn to tell at least....."little white lies"....with this affliction (damn that make-up and my mother....lol...she made me take back some make-up I stole from a friends house when I was four y/o and lied about it to her). Duct tape is my only universal cure.....I can't speak when it's over my lips and I can't type when my hands are bound with it!

What else ya wanna know?

Well, sure now, that's plenty for now Lixy! Actually, I'm very fond of your "speak before you think" thing - certainly livens things up a lot!! :) <<<<HUGS LIXY>>>>

'sfunny how much we've got in common though...... I (or rather my then g/friend) had a baby when I was young (17), I'm claustrophic (not as bad) AND I LOVE scuba diving!! And, something I DIDN'T post in my own "Top Ten"....... I have suffered very badly in the past from depression, allied to feelings of not being deserving of ANYTHING, not just material things..... so much so, I have been this close to killing myself at least twice over the years. Thankfully, I've been OK the past few years (and ESPECIALLY the past year..... guess why THAT is!!!) but I worry that it'll come back....... and maybe I won't be strong enough to fight it, the next time! Ho hum!! It's all in the lap of the Gods though, innit?!?!

DM

*hugs dm in kinship of how small this world really is*

You'll be here a long long time sweety......CA will see to that....of that I am sure!

I'm sure she will Lixy, if the need arises again!! She's a tough wee bugger, when she wants to be!! :D:D

Problem with depression is, it doesn't matter how happy or content or unproblematic your life is....... it can get you anyway. Which is why it scares me so much! The BIG difference is, with her, I tell her EVERYTHING, which is something I've never done before...... plus, she's been there herself, AND she's a nurse too!! So, if *I* don't spot it (and I should, I've experienced it enough!) SHE will, and get me to do something about it!!


Ain't love grand?!?!?! I thank my lucky stars every day, for having the tremendous good luck to have met her! :D:D:D

And in the tradition of Lovediva's extended list....lol!
 

11) I'm an atheist...though I was raised a Methodist and went "church hopping" with my mother all the time! We would visit different "churches" to explore the different religions and beliefs of everyone who make up this great big world. She taught me to respect EVERY persons personal beliefs...no matter how they differ from mine! I can recite the books of the old and new testement to this day, as I had to learn them to earn my very first bible..which I still have. I was 5 y/o at the time.

12) I laughed at Aqua's list and nearly pee'd my pants when I started to read gg's list! I've ordered an exhaust fan for my guest room in preparation for his visit next spring...lmfao!

13) My first husband would watch every sporting event known to man on television, but when it came to sex he never initiated, nor wanted it much....unless he was sleeping and I tried to wake him (of which I learned to do in order to "get any") and then all he would do is talk dirty and sex me up....till he was fully awake and suddenly he was too tired.....again! This made for a frustrating marriage and is the ONLY reason I left him. Otherwise....he was one of the most decent people I have ever met! BTW....I put up with that for eight long years......thinking it would change someday!

14) I am primarily right handed but I'm ambidextrous when it comes to alot of things.....handwriting, batting a baseball and throwing one, giving a hand job, LOL!...etc......but I can't.....um...have never been able to......um...*whispers* wipe myself after using the potty with my left hand.......Oh geezzzzzz! Where's the duct tape?

15) I love blue claw crabs but I don't like lobster.....I prefer beer to mixed drinks.....I never order the most expensive thing on a menu (feeling guilty that I could afford it when I know there are many starving people in the world)......I don't like Dom but I like inexpensive champagne ($12.00ish)......and I've never stayed in a hotel where there is room service (though I'd be willing to try it someday...just once....to order cheap champagne and strawberries at 2am!) Hey! I'm a cheap date! What can I say?

16) I'm a product of the late 60's and the entire 70's (and those of you who know what I mean....KNOW what I mean!) and I've tried every drug under the sun that was available to me at the time....except heroin.......because my brother (now deceased) was an addict most of his life and I didn't want to end up fighting the addiction I watched him battle on and off throughout his adult life!

17) I'd still smoke a bone......but it rarely occurs to me now-a-days. I have a "pot tin" that I keep my "stuff" in and I have a bag of homegrown in it from 1999 (I think that's how long it's been there). I might just roll one up today....lmao! I smoke cigarettes as well, and I'd let ANYONE ON THE PLANET give me a hemi-lobotomy if they could assure me that, afterwards, I would never realize that I had ever started smoking cigarettes and therefore not know of the worst addiction on the planet!

18) On a lighter note....I've quit smoking so many times I'm becoming the world champion of quitters! But....the last time I quit....and started again...I said, "I quit quitting! I suck at it and I hate to suck at anything but cock"! LMFAO!

19) I go to funerals and memorials out of respect for loved ones lost.........but I never visit (on a regular basis) anyones gravesite or memorial plot after the services are over. If I feel a need to "contact" them or be close to them.....I just speak to them wherever I might be.

20) If the world were to end tomorrow......I only have one regret in my lifetime that I would wish to change and make ammends for! There are many things I wish I could have said or done to/for lost loved ones....and many things I wish I hadn't said or done to some people, dead or alive......but there is only ONE thing I would change in order to feel that my life was perfect....regardless of it's imperfections along the way!

Did I mention....I love this thread Diva? It's sooooooooo cleansing!

I love to read all the information shared by our family! I feel a need to reiterate that we are a special bunch! *hugs*

2. I'm absolutely terrified of nutcrackers, mice and snakes.

4. I'm dating a black guy.

5. I have low self-esteem and was very depressed at one point in my life until a certain someone saved me from myself (and to that person I'm eternally grateful).

6. I hated school from the time that I was in elementary school. I didnt have any friends and always ate lunch by myself. I loved learning...just not going to school.

7. I have a love of symphonies. We used to go as a school when I was in elementary school and have never been able to get it out of my system.

8. Christmas is my absolutely favorite holiday and I dont own a single piece of Christmas music. I get sheer joy out of buying gifts for people that will make them smile.

9. I'm a closet nympho and like light bondage.

10. I avoid confrontation as much as possible and have been told that I'm too nice for my own good.

1. even though I have a college degree (BSEE) my parents are better educted than I am (master's degrees)

2. with my BSEE I fully qualify as a geek (can't speen geek without "EE") (most people already knew I was a geek)

3. I've been around computers since I am 8 years old (going on 31 this coming year)

4. when it comes to relationships, and women in general, the best way to describe me is "dumb ass".... most of the time it seems to take a 2x4 upside the head before I catch on to what is going on around me...

5. I do not like big groups of people... in small groups I am usually the loudest :)

6. usually people get to hear what I think about them... this is both good and bad at the same time

7. I can not play a musical instrument (not for lack of trying)... I am somewhat tone deaf... when it comes to music, I appreciate it just fine... but when it comes to being on key there is no hope... it's also not fair that my brother has perfect pitch

8. I'm affraid of heights... more specifically, falling from heights. As a young child I took a header over a railing and traveled down to a nice resounding "thud"... when I dream of falling I always hit at the bottom... that sucks!

9. I probably drink too much....

10. I love to drive... it does not matter where I am going as long as I am driving... I actually like making 10 and 14 hour road trips :)

PS.

11. for what ever reason red heads (well, freckles actually... they don't have to be on a red head) are really attractive to me... but they better not be on some twig of a woman...

10. If there is a god, she’s going to roast my arse

1. I, like Rabbit, was nominated to attend West Point, but my Dad turned it down for me....bastard.
2. I am told I am know too much about everything, I think I am just a news and knowledge junkie and know a little about lots, and if not can make up the missing parts.
3. I am getting divorced for the 2nd time.
4. I have only been in love twice in my life, but I ran away from the 1st one out of insecurity.

6. I am a reading freak, I read a novel every 1 to 2 weeks and have a huge collection of my favorite authors.
7. I used to be really shy, but in the last 5 years or so have become very outgoing and find people actually like my company but I still dont completely believe it.
8. I enjoy being nude whenever I can be.
9. I am consider myself overwieght, but by the "scales" I am not, I am just a tall and big person....but I still think my ass is too big.
