We did this at a chior retreat a few weeks back and it was amazing the things we learned about each other.

So, tell us something we don't know about you. It can be anything. An old job, a hobby, a brush with fame, something unusual that once happended to you... anything at all.

I'll start. I have private pilot's licence (though I only have about 100 hours logged).

Who's next?
 
Hmmm.... good question....

There are very few things most people who have been on the boards for awhile DON'T know about me! :teeth:

Here's a few things some people may NOT know about me...

I've NEVER been married and never wanted to though I've been engaged six times... :rolleyes:

I visited Disney for the very first time when I was 44, have gone to Orlando 20 times in the last two years without ONCE going to DisneyWorld! how'd she DO that??? :confused:

Even though I've had the hardest year I've ever had in my life I'm immensely calm, happy and peaceful, more so than I've ever been in my life.

:bounce::hyper: :crazy: :sunny:
 
I used to drive a '72 Ford Ranchero with pin striping, a cobra decal, on the cab, mag wheels, and a manual choke - people would pull up next to me and be really surprised to see a petite brunette in a suit driving that car:smooth:
 
I sometimes read the phone book while I'm eating breakfast. If it's the only thing close by to read. I can't eat without reading something.:rolleyes: ;)
 

This one usually shocks people:

I spent 4 years in Uncle Sam's Army. I was a Sergeant.

People generally look at me totally dumbfounded, and say, "You mean the Women's Army Corps, right?"

I tell them, "No, sweetie, I'm not quite that old. The REAL Army. And I didn't do push-ups on my knees, either."



Uhhhhh....Robin? 20 times? And you never ONCE called me????

You BRAT!
 
As a hobby/wishful career, I'm a credentialed motorsports photographer specializing in the personalities of the CART Champ Car World Series. I stand on pit lane about two feet from the Champ Cars as they're screaming in and out of the pits during practice and qualifying. Love every dangerous second of it!

Also, I once took part in a CART driving experience program and drove 147.89 mph around California Speedway (yes, all by myself in a single-seater car, just following the instructor's line). Greatest experience of my life!!::yes::

Oh yes, and Patrick Stewart once kissed me on the cheek!:faint:
 
I am a woman ......and I go hunting each year with my dear hubby and my son and now our grandchildren........anddddddddddd

I always (well usually) get a deer......I got my spike horn yesterday.....I know this will gross some people out....but the hunts are done with knowing how to thin the herds so that some of them will not starve to death or ruin the crops for other deer......
 
Hmmmmmm.....

Well... Supposedly "Uncle Sam" (the real one) is some great, great uncle of mine or something...

I love to read the dictionary.....

When I married my 1st husband I had turned 17 only 2 days before that - and no, I didn't "have" to get married.. Didn't have our first child until 2 years later..

I have a ghost that lives in my house...

I always eat my "breakfast" just before I go to bed at night...

OOOOOPS!!

Since I've become one of the UNEMPLOYED I LOVE going to Orlando! I'll be down again in December, I PROMISE to call this time!! :p
 
I lost my mother when I was 23. I lost my father when I was 25. I had cancer at 32. At 36, I decided to have a child by artifical insemination by donor (don't know the father, don't want to). I'm now 51 and about to retire and move to Orlando. I have the most beautiful, smart, sweet 15 year old daughter. When life throws lemons, make lemonade! I couldn't be happier!
 
I just started a new adventure --- selling Tastefully Simple!
 
another fan of reading the dictionary

I'm Irish!

I love polyester!

I wash my feet before bed every night.

I don't drive.

I'm a perfectionist.

I collect music boxes.

Ok, so I collect ALL boxes, I have a room full of boxes....cause it's so nice to be able to find the perfect box for something whenever I need it! :crazy:

I love pumpkin shakes.
 
I haven't driven for 5 years. I don't own a car, and don't enjoy driving. :)
 
Ok here goes...
I was born in Florida, we moved the year they were breaking ground for WDW.

I have one sibling, a sister.

I don't drive, don't want to either.

I was married at 19 on my birthday, (yes we are still married)

I firmly believe that just because a man is a ***** doner, that does not make him a FATHER.(enough said)

Reading some of the other post, where people were hit by a car...
Well here is one for you, My own MOTHER hit me with the car
:eek: (by accident of course :p )

:jumping3: :jumping3: :jumping3: :jumping3:
 
I know I've lived a past life (I've had the same dream about it for years), I have been able to sense when a house has ghosts, I know for a fact I am going to be one of those crazy old ladies that wears a big straw hat and carries a big straw bag and wears a smock type dress, that all the neighborhood kids calls crazy, but at least I am going to have fun and love life!
 
I rarely post on the CB board, although I do lurk here quite a bit!

My braces are coming off tomorrow morning!!!

The big day, (my wedding), is coming up in under 5 weeks.

I work for a high tech digital mapping company even though I've never been to college. (Been working here since I was 20 yrs. old.)

Trying to plan trips to DisneyWorld to catch every holiday. I've been out the 4th of July, and this year I'll be out for Christmas.

I'm a native to Colorado Springs, although I would like to move to Orlando.

Love to watch Dr. Phil.

I work nights, so while many of you are asleep, I'm lurking on the Disboards 11pm to 3am.

Well, this will be somewhat shocking for those that know the "mature" me but....I used to be a Bee Gee's groupie!! I can't go into details because I'm a married woman with kids now but I was very young & stupid once. :o
 
I would love to be a teachers assistant in an elementary school.

I think about my dad every single day and wish that we were still close :hug: :(

I love to go food shopping and love going into a new food store

I wish I knew how to drive a stick shift

Every single night when I go to bed I close my eyes and pick a new spot at Disney and think about being there until I fall asleep.
 
I didn't start driving til I was 24!!:

I've been married 3 times. Lost first DH to an accident, 2nd DH was a rebound (lasted one year) and 3rd DH is still around.:D
