OK...can I get up off the couch now, Doc? :D :p :D

I love everyone's list (smile). Eros and BCG, I too am shy (a real introvert), at least until you get to know me. I love shy people; usually still waters run deep (smile).

BCG, I can so identify w/the turtle rescue! My daughter and I, when we lived one summer near the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, spent many, many trips watching for turtles to rescue on the road that ran between those 2 rivers. I'd pull over, my daughter would jump out of the car to grab the turtle, then we'd drive closer to the Mississippi River and throw it in. It broke our hearts to see any of them hit.

osuche, I too am very different from everyone else in the family and have never quite fit in; it was and is at times very lonely. (They're mostly ESTJs; I'm an INFJ; and I'm the only Democrat in a sea of Republicans.) You sound very talented. It must be wonderful to be able to play so many instruments. As I always say, the only thing I can play is the radio.

Lovediva, I'll give you all my garlic (smile).

IAKG, I ALWAYS wanted to take Latin...still would love to. Like an idiot, I chose Russian (even though I did love it, too) in high school instead. Latin would have been much more useful.

WildIrish, I've always admired people who can cook. And I know what you mean about the snow and the cold; I always say the snow is just wasted if it is too cold to go out and play in it.

Lilith, how wonderful it must be to be brave! I know I am strong, but I don't think of myself as brave. I seem to be scared a good bit of the time.

I really am looking forward to more people's lists. I love to get to know everybody better (smile).

Here goes nothin'!!

1. I am Scottish, but both my parents are English (they can't help it, poor souls:))

2. I too am very shy in R/L... and I work as a Community-based Psychiatric Nurse ~ go figure!!

3. I have a daughter who will be 10 on halloween

4. I had a daughter who would have been 23 on the 28th of October (she died 6 years ago)

5. The first-ever girl I slept with, got pregnant (deliberatley) ... hence #4

6. It still rips me up inside when I think of it too much

7. I have been "in love" three times in my life.... this time, is the best!! :D

8. I was in the Parachute Regiment when I was younger.... got a medical discharge after I hit a tree, on my FOURTEENTH jump!! (lucky white heather, anyone?? :))

9. I haven't posted any "solo" pics on here yet (OK, so NOT a secret!! LOL!)

10. I'm posting this, as I have quite a number of OTHER posts, on my soon-to-be ex-wife's PC ....... baby-sitting the wee one!!!

DM

I so love this thread!

DM, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter; my heart goes out to you.

Interesting how we can be shy in r/t yet be nurses. However, I love to be able to get close to my patients and their families. Most of them I get to know quite well because they are on my floor for a long time; the vast majority are terminally ill, and I see them and their families through it to the end.

Like many others here, I'm sure, I'd love to see a pix of you sometime. :) I'm sure the outside is as beautiful as the inside.

Thankyou, BlueSwede.... like I said, it still hurts (always will, I suppose) but I had some good friends around me when I found out, which helped more than I can ever tell them!

Regards being a nurse, it's not something I'd even considered til I was in my mid-twenties....... I liken it sometimes to being an actor, or a comedian; you put on your "professional self" almost like a suit....... and take it off again when you don't need it anymore! Has worked for me for 16 years now, and I'm still enjoying the job!!

Pix........ well, I'm working on it (getting BRAVE enough, I guess!!) One day......................


DM

3. I talk to my bro daily even tho he lives in California and I am in Mo.

7. I would very much like to see Rome someday.

8. I have not gone on a "date" since I was 18. (This may explain why I have been alone for the most part since my divorce)

This group specializes in kids who need hair replacement. I am 1 inch shy of my goal length. It's not a cancer group but a worthy cause none the less.

I actually have a friend that donated like 18 inches of hair to that...he had long hair forever and his g/f talked him into cutting it off and sending it in.

When I'm upset and I storm off , I want to be followed, a strange thing I know, but sometimes during an argument things can get heated and it's a simple wordless gesture that says "I care about you" no matter how upset and hard it is to say at the moment can really help a guy feel wanted .lol one of those silly human things
8. I am a hopeless romantic always on that search for true love lol
9. I have a soft spot in my heart for romantic comedies
10. I'm all about honesty, I can't stand people lieing although I"m generally willing to forgive if they come clean, but finding out from a third person that someone is lieing is always a bad thing

oh and just as a bonus

11. I find it very interesting the degree at which a human can suffer and still march onward, how the pure strenth of human spirit can overcome so many adversities and yet how amazingly weak humans are at the same time, the way people act and the reasoning that goes on in their heads, truly humans are a very amusing specimen

10. I tend to be lonely because I don't make friends very easily.

I enjoyed everyone's lists but after reading mine, it's a little depressing. I guess I should have added "I tend to be too serious!" :rolleyes:

1. I was involved in an abusive relationship that produced my oldest son...his father has never seen him. (His father served time in jail for attempting to murder me.. and since he didn't succeed, the sentance was reduced to 10 years)

10. I will sometimes go above and too far beyond for the people that I care about - at my own expense sometimes.....

2. My mother suffered from severe panic attacks when I was a kid, so I took care of most of the household. It taught me to be independent.

3. My first kiss was from a girl named Shari, behind a big Pepsi sign next to her Grandparents cafe.

5. I have saved lives.

I was going to post 10 things about me but it appears I shall have to wait until I can stop laughing.......

I will share one thing.....I piss my pants when something makes me laugh! OMG GG you just cracked me up!!!! :D

This thread asked for us to list things others probably didn't know about us, things we could become brave enough to share. Much of what has been revealed is very serious, much of it just plain heart breaking. It makes me proud of the Pixies family that those who posted realize that it has been OK to share those things, because the response will be genuine love and caring by the members. We are indeed a huge, informal family who support one another in any way that we can. We don't ridicule, and we love the members for who they are, not what others might expect them to be.:)

I for one am truly enjoying this thread. I love learning more about my fellow Pixonians.

Thanks for the laugh, BiBi! At least GG is an honest man, ya' gotta give him that! And you too!!!

BlueSwede and SS, you're right. It is a special thing that we feel free enough to share so much about ourselves ... and I also enjoy knowing more about the people I've come to care so much about.

What a neat place we have here.

I've been reading these with great fascination (and a couple tears), and want to offer something back. But 10 seems like a big number...lets see how this does.

1) I don't speak spanish (at least not well), but I swear FLUENTLY. All a product of growing up in New Mexico.

2) I HATE snakes, and am personally responsible for the demise of 4 diamondbacks. Another product of growing up in New Mexico.

3) I used to be an all-star soccer player...until the doctors told me if I kept playing/running I'd be in a wheelchair well before I was 30.

4) At one point, I could literally catch birds out of the air...although I haven't tested it in the last 2 years. [Damn, always knew that was a skill that would come in handy...but never knew how to stick it on a CV.]

5) I LOVE to cook, the more people coming over the better. If my current career didn't work out, I was going to do it professionally.

6) I crochet afghans as a form of relaxation/meditation. Wish I could quilt...but I'm sure they'd come out hopelessly crooked.

7) I'm dyslexic. No joke.

8) My biggest disappointment in life is that I can't sing. I'd give anything for a half-decent voice.

9) I'm flame shy, ever since the kitchen fire that burned my hand. But I'm getting better. I can handle candles now, so long as they're not right on the edge of my peripheral vision....and haven't had to walk out of a movie for (quick count) 4 years.

10) I have an unbelievably deep admiration for nurses and physiotherapists. Their care, and a bit of luck, meant I got near full use of that hand back after the fire. Every year since, on the day, I take flowers to the hospital nearest where-ever I happen to be living for the local nurses. They weren't the ones that helped me, but I gurantee they worked a miracle for someone else that day.

And there you go, more than you wanted to know about Ginge today ;)

I feel so much love in this thread....

(((((((((((((WE ARE ONE BIG FAMILY!))))))))))))))))
