    Except for my first vehicle, I've never bought a new vehicle without first totaling the vehicle I had been driving...

    Really? That’s crazy! Glad you’ve been ok.

    Ha - thanks. Second fun fact - none of those accidents have been deemed my fault by insurance. :D

    And third fun fact: No, I do NOT drive as if I'm in a bumper car arena. I just apparently attract people who like to follow too closely and/or forget to hit their brakes at stop lights.

    I once held John Mellencamp's guitar while he went to the restroom in an airport.

    I have to sleep with 5 fans on even though it’s cold outside if not I can’t sleep.

    About me?

    Not sure how fun of a fact it is, but I've never owned a car and hope to never have to.

    I only downloaded this app about 3 hours ago and I’m already giving the cake tin my one to bed eyes and trying to find an excuse not to go to the gym tomorrow. I could be a lost cause. 🙃

    Fun fact is I tell my husband I don’t like to go to the shooting range but I actually do. I also like cupcakes. 😬

    I fell off a moving car hitting my head in the bumper and pavement fracturing my skull ear to ear across the back of my head. I landed in the driveway of the ambulance building. 9 days in intensive care unit. Specialist told me I was supposed to be dead with the brain swelling. I walked away with just some short term memory loss. The only other bad things was I had to turn down an offer to play semi pro football just in case

    Sorry about your injury and the loss of opportunity! On the other hand, glad the IHS has not used your experienece to agitate for safety belts on car hoods and roofs!

    My dad taught me how to drive when I was 9 (I was very tall for my age).
    Mom did not know. 🤭

    This may have been why I didn’t get in very much trouble when I snuck out the car at 14, in Brazil and wrecked it. 🤔

    I make them once a year and freeze them for whenever I have company over. I love them as well.
