Tell Me Something Surprising About Yourself

Nailrep

I am a parront to two macaws...

I am adopted...

I have ADD - diagnosed at 25.

I am (potentially) going to be able to take a tiger cruise with my sailor son this summer!! I will be able to shadow my son for 4 days on a working aircraft carrier!! I am so freaking excited I could bust!!!

I'm adopted too. I am going to assume that you meant you HAVE a parrot and 2 macaws...

No a macaws ARE parrots! LOL! A PARENT of birds is a PARRONT! Get it??? LOL

Casualty of abdominal surgery around 15 years ago. They couldn't save it.

It makes me pretty self conscious around the pool.

-i don't swear...ever, most i will say is crap.

I wish I could say the same for myself. I curse like a sailor. :frown:

I curse like a sailor too, probably because I was one. I'm pretty good at keeping it under control when necessary, but when I know there's no one around who cares, watch out!

I am a complete and total Andy Griffith Show encyclopedia. I can recite the lines right along with the characters on any given episode. I have been into the show since I was a very young child.

Thats awesome. I thought I was the only person under 55 that loves that show!

I was a grandmother at 32 and great grandmother at 46

I am in the third year of an honours degree at university and have no career aspirations. i want to be a wife and i want to be a mother.....but i really really really don't want a career!

I can totally relate. I spent 8 years working on nuclear reactor for the Navy, now I work as a government contractor at the shipyard and I'm finishing a degree in criminal justice. However, once I move this summer, I'm going to be a stay-at-home mom and I couldn't be happier. It's the only thing I want to do with my life right now.

My sister (who is 4 years my junior) is just as bad as I am. So there's 3 of us at least!

Have you considered tattooing the belly button on? Women with breast surgery leaving them w/o a nipple do this. It's not perfect, but I've seen some pretty good jobs! Might get you back into those speedos!!

That's funny, I've thought about having a regular button tatoo'd there. Or a zipper.

*My daughter weighed 10 lbs 7 oz at birth (Thank God for c-sections) but I only gained 10 lbs during pregnancy
*I have an impressive tolerance for psychical pain but not much for the emotional stuff.
* I used to live on a farm and had to clean up after all sorts of animals but I have never operated a lawn-mower in my life.
*I have never ice-skated
* I had one of my drawings published in our local newspaper when I was five.
*I met my husband on myspace

Again, this has been an awesome thread! I woke up in a crappy mood, but now I'm laughing at some of these replies! Thanks, MFP friends! ((HUGS))

I have only been in 2 relationships but never consumated either of them... :blushing:

I forget what it's called, but I have a weird condition (doesn't cause me any problems, it's just odd) regarding my reflexes. Like if a doctor hits my knee to test the reflex, it'll shoot up 5-10ish times (it varies) very rapidly instead of just once, and the same for any other reflex. When I was hospitalised last year the ER doctor discovered it and got all excited because apparently it's rare and was a big opportunity for him to demonstrate it to his residents. :laugh: -He had three of them troop in and test it out for themselves while they all remarked to one another about it. Would have been a bit unsettling if I hadn't been loopy on morphine. :laugh:

HeidiM78

This is a REALLY cool thread!!!

I sell tools and fasteners to lumber yards and hardware stores.


I can spread my toes so that there is a space between every one. :noway:

My daughter can open a door with her foot she can turn the knob

Lol I can also do that with my toes

These are GREAT! First thread I've read from start to finish; here are mine:

I can wiggle my nose two different ways: up and down or wiggle/flare the nostrils

I HATE fast food hamburgers and have never eaten a Big Mac or Whopper. As a kid, I used to cry if we had to go to McDonald's.

I had never broken a bone UNTIL I went to xray school. Then a classmate slammed my finger in the darkroom door! I almost peed my pants it hurt so bad.

I hate touching other people's feet and/or hair...makes it difficult to image feet and skulls! LOL I could never be a cosmotologist ((shudder))

My husband is colorblind and often asks me if certain items of clothing "go together" or match. Depending on my attitude towards him at the moment (based on whether or not he's been a jerk to me lately) I may or may not tell him the truth! :laugh:
