    I have a phobia about drive-thru car washes.
    I won’t go.

    I'll go through if someone else is driving but I've never actually driven a car into one because I panic about what will happen when I can't get my wheels into the track and I get stuck inside and cause a pile up...And probably drown cause...water

    I just hate it when that happens.

    Have you drowned in a car wash before? I'd hate for that to happen, too. 😋

    Took my two dogs through a car wash back in the summer. One dog absolutely LOVED the experience, couldn't turn his head fast enough to look everywhere at once.

    The other dog completely FREAKED OUT and had to be physically restrained, poor thing.

    I will not drive through a drive-thru car wash.
    The lack of control in the confined building gives me the creeps.

    I think I mentioned this already but once I was in a drive-thru car wash, was convinced my mirror was going to get bashed and rolled down my window to move my mirror.
    I did not get the window up fast enough.
    Right in my face, that disgusting soapy, recycled water.
    I was drenched, only on the left side tho, lol. 😂
    I have not been inside one since.

    Right!!! And this is why I will never go through a carwash as the driver!

    I can easily brush off insults or rudeness from strangers but am a little girl when it comes to mean things said by people I care about.
    Although, I try like hell not to show it.

    Light: I like to bake more than I like to workout.

    Heavy: I’m an enneagram type 3 to the letter, who is driven to success my the constant dread of imposter syndrome.

    I love cabbage raw.
    The smell of it cooked turns my stomach.
    Same with spinach.

    Some completely inane facts about me.

    After a sudden death in the family a while ago I feel a nagging worry about how death sneaks up on you.. you don't know where you don't know when. One minute you are here the next not.. I think about when will my time be. 😔

    Same here. I was affected seeing so much sudden death in combat, that I was just waiting for my turn. It never came...Now, after getting shot 10 years ago, and complications in my open heart surgery 2 years ago, I see the end of the tunnel. I feel like I have cheated death too many times and my luck is running out. But since it is inevitable, I try to focus on living, rather than dying....

    I worked for my ex for about 10yrs,
    I managed the accounts payable and receivables.
    I flunked math in school.
    I was a failure at balancing the checkbook.
    Somehow I kept track of millions of dollars in invoices.
    I was a wreck, cried all the way to the office every morning.
    When we split and he retired me he had a CPA audit the books.
    I had neglected to bill out $800,000. to our investors over the years for several different wells.
    Thank goodness it wasn’t the other way around.
    My ex used that as an example of my incompetence to several people.
    I never will forget how I felt.
    He never admitted it was mean.
    That attitude of his is one of the reasons I can’t live with him.

    I feel this so much right now. Except the ex part. And he's an *kitten*, btw. I don't like him.

    I floss & brush my toofeses after lunch. I hate flossing and one way I get myself to do it regularly is by doing it at work.

    I really only dance in the kitchen these days. Lately I’ve been trying to learn how to make my cheeks clap.

    Glad you asked? 😄

    Don't care one way or the other about cabbage (probably because I've never been served cooked cabbage so have no frame of reference) but I very much enjoy raw spinach on salads and sandwiches, while cooked is...just, no.

    My biological mother was only one year older than me when she died from COPD.
    Even though I quit smoking 11yrs ago and don’t have the disease,
    I can’t help but have a little bit of worry in the deep recesses of my mind.

    Same here. My dad was 48 when he had a stroke with high cholesterol. I’m 48 with high cholesterol. I’m terrified!

    Try not to worry too much. 💗
    Get that cholesterol down, you can do it! 🙂

    All my grandparents lived into their 90's, one almost cracking 100. I've got a goal, now.

    I sneaked reads of inappropriate novels when I was a kid & Im mostly ok.

    I don’t remember what age I was when I read a romance novel laying around my house but when it got to the first naughty scene… I threw that thing away from me and into the closet. I did go back for it though but I was just too pure. 🥲

    I needed to add to these posts😂 I was 13ish and was babysitting and picked up a book off coffee table...in hindsight there were some other sketchy things with this situation 😬

    My tween years were peppered with VC Andrews and books about suicide.

    The first novel I read that wasn’t for school but for my own enjoyment was “Rebecca”
    by Daphne du Maurier.
    I was 12 in 6th grade.

    No wonder I grew up with a ridiculously romantic idea of masculinity and love. 🙄

    I loved that book. I had no idea what it was about when I began reading it. I didn’t know what a Gothic novel was or anything so the whole thing took me by surprise

    When I was very young, I never spoke at first, not even just trying out words. My mother worried I was developmentally delayed, until one day I spoke an entire sentence (three words, but still). Guess I just didn't want to speak until I had something to say.

    When I was in grade school (except grade 1,2 in Spain, Greece)we lived on a small creek.
    I spent almost all my outdoor fun down in the creek.
    My friends and I would dam it up to make a pool.
    We’d catch crawdads, see who could find the biggest one.
    Built forts, so many forts!
    That was so much fun.
    Later on when I was older, that’s where I’d sneak a cigarette.
    After it was paved, I drove my car down into it, drove for miles. 🤯
    I’m so thankful that creek was there.
    😂
    I was crazy
