    I can get almost any dog to listen to me and do what I want them too.

    I can walk difficult dogs, usually in just a few minutes. I can calm down and get large and small aggressive dogs to trust me, and get dogs to sit, stay or come, often in just a few minutes.

    I like to help people with their dogs and I am considering trying to make a living from this but the certification can be expense and takes some time......yadda yadda...just excuses....... like why I cant lose those last few pounds.

    I have Monosomy X, or Turner Syndrome. Girls who have it are very short, and have one X chromosome (or sometimes partial XX) and are sterile. I got lucky and have enough of both Xs to have had a son. My OB/Gyn literally did NOT believe me when I told him I have it. :laugh:

    Not terribly unique, but I raise pet chickens & ducks in my backyard smack dab in the middle of town. They all come to their names & are as sweet as can be!

    Lance, you're more than welcome to come practice on mine. I have six and they're all horribly behaved, but I love em.

    This was an interesting thread, unfortunately, I can't think of anything interesting about me.

    Yes. That's him. We worked together in upstate New York at prison hospital.

    Lucky! You have my respect for your career and for working with him. Freaking badass (in a good way)!

    I forgot to welcome you, Chris, to the website. Where are my manners? Feel free to add me and welcome to the MFP family. :happy:

    I've been in cat rescue for 25 years.

    I broke my middle finger in the door of a 67 Chevy Impala when I was 8

    I was an all state french horn player in high school but never touched it again after I graduated 30 years ago..

    I've been a movie extra, and I might be in a Supernatural documentary coming out in the future. Not sure how much of my part they'll be using though..

    Those are the only ones I can think of now.. I'm mostly ordinary. :smile:

    I disarm bombs and poke dead bodies (trying to figure out how they died) for living! :noway:

    P.S. If you would have told me I would be doing this as a living 20 years ago I'd have called you crazy!!! :bigsmile:

    I've always been fascinated by forensic sciences. .. but I have to just read about it. I could never do it for a living. I'm too squeamish. ..being around bodies in states of decay would have me losing my lunch daily.

    I was almost kidnapped when I was 4 or 5. Younger brother was with me but I was the only one the creepy *kitten* was going after. We were watching the movie version of IT by Stephen King when my mom asked me to go across the street and ask the neighbors for sugar... I vividly remember certain scenes from that movie now. Particularly the one that was on right before I left the house.

    Oh, thought of a better one. I will get a massive wave of nausea, so bad I feel like I need to go to the bathroom.. and Then I just sneeze. It sucks lol

    Welcome! Feel free to add me to share fitness stories/successes.

    Hmmm... something interesting about me.... Well I don't know if this is interesting, but I grew up on a remote Gulf Island in British Columbia, Canada. I had to catch 4 buses, 2 ferries and walk 10-15 mins just to get to high school back in the day. Boy am I glad those days are over.

    I have extremely talented feet... I can draw with them, use video game controllers and win the games with them, pick up anything and toss it up to my hands, open doors and drawers, etc. But I have a tendency to fall down a lot when I try to use them for feet things, such as walking.

    My eyes are extremely sensitive to light so I get headaches a lot during the day, but I can read or do art or move around a messy room in almost total darkness.

    The first and only time I ever shot a gun, at the insistence of my gun-loving Texan uncle, I hit 9 consecutive bulls-eyes. I can also hit consecutive bulls-eyes with daggers, darts, and crossbows.

    When I was 6, I broke my thumb at the dinner table. I was sitting in the chair and then suddenly the chair flew up and fell on me. It happened instantly and no one at the table had any clue what happened. The doctors accused my whole family of lying and my parents almost got arrested for suspected child abuse.

    I heal so fast externally that one time I completely sliced my palm open accidentally on a tin can and in two days there wasn't even a mark from it.

    I have high functioning schizoaffective bipolar 1 disorder (think manic-depressive meets schizophrenic).

    Oooh ooh I play the harp.

    I have no idea if these are interesting facts. :huh: :smile:

    That... is ridiculously impressive. I'm amazed you had the patience. It was probably a beautiful place to live, though?

    I am a retired forensic psychiatric registered nurse. I worked with serial killers, severely mentally ill psychopaths who took insanity defense for their crimes. I did this for 25 yrs. I was never bored. Worked with a famous doctor who had his own show on Discovery ID. Dr. Michael Stone. The show was based on his belief that not all psychopaths were mentally ill and believed strongly in some being just plain evil. How's that for interesting????

    wow, sounds like my cup of tea! love it

    Welcome to MFP, feel free to add me, you'll get so much motivation you won't even know what hit you :tongue:

    I guess my interesting fact is when I was younger, I was in Broadway on Ice. Fiddler on the Roof to be exact, haha :blushing: embarrassing

    I'm obsessed with the ocean (I live 5 mins from it) i love to boogie board and just be in the water but it scares the crap out of me butone of my dreams is to cage dive with great whites and free dive off a reef with lemons and other sharks.

    I too have talented toes I can play video games and draw and write with them I also pick up and throw things with them.

    I can make my tongue dance

    And finally despite my weight and the amount I've already loss I have been in a hip hop dance family (not my actual family) since 2005 and been dancing since 2007

    People who know me now (and for the past 15 years) think I have always had a desk job...but I used to be a butcher. Back when the carcasses were hung on racks and you used a ban saw to cut up the meat. I know it sounds gross but it was so interesting that I did it for about 8 years.

    Funny...i Grew up 5 minutes from the ocean as well and loved it...but the sad part..i cant swim!!!

    Something interesting?...when I was a kid I believe I saw a UFO..I remeber hearing a noise outside my bedroom window...I looked and there was a bright light that scared the S#$T out of me. When I had the courage to look again I saw it rising over the neighbors house and then it was gone... I have no idea what it was..i was just a kid so it could have been anything but Ive never seen anything like it since and Ive never forgotten it.

    Cool Thread by the way
