    I'm about to be a step-grandmother and I'm only 40 and I've never had kids of my own. Weird.
  • I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue and I can't remember people's faces unless I've seen them ALOT. I can see someone and a week later not recognize them at all. People will walk up to me in public places and say hi and I just pretend to know who they are.
    WOW! Ditto for me on both accounts!

    I was kidnapped and taken to a different country for 4 years. Oprah wanted my mother on her show. True story.

    WOW. =-O Glad you're ok! :frown:

    Thanks.. I am.. I was kidnapped by my father and taken to Pakistan. He brought me back 4 years later after suffering a massive stroke. BTW, my mom told Oprah no. She didnt want it publicized. She had hired a company to try and kidnapp me back. Still shaking my head... can't believe my mom turned down OPRAH!!

    That is an amazing story. I think you have a novel there...let me know if you need a ghost writer!

    I am only 38 and I now have 3 step grandkids and the sad thing is my husband is only 43, but he had a son right out of high school and two of his kids had kids right out of high school too.
  • I always think people look like other people. For example, I will say to my husband, "Doesn't that guy look a little like Clint Eastwood?" And he'll usually say, "Um....no."

    When I was 8 I caved in to family peer pressure and overate one night in Cali, and for almost five years after that I couldn't eat very much so I appeared anorexic...sometimes I was so hungry I was "full". Whenever something, ANYTHING changed I got nervous and therefore couldn't eat. I ate everything on my school tray for the first time in seventh grade. Now I'm at the other end of the spectrum >.< (couldn't think of a better fact at the moment lol)

    I agree on the amazing story, can I pinch you as a ghost writer I was kidnapped too for a month in a foreign country. I'm glad your alright though, we have an equivalent called GMTV its like a daytime show my cousins mum was on there because he was kidnapped by his dad... seems to run in the family this kidnapping business.
  • Thought it might be fun to see what is unique about each of you. It could be an odd, unique, or unusual fact about yourself.

    I'll start.....

    I'm from New York, but I do not like ANY Professional New York sports teams in Baseball, Football, Hockey, or Basketball, and I absolutely LOVE sports!!!

    I am a huge Yankee fan!

    I LOVE the St. Louis Cardinals (have since I was 8), Football-Oakland Raiders, Hockey-Detroit Red Wings & Philadelphia Flyers, and Basketball-none! lol

    I failed third grade, because I was so bad at math. Now I am a third grade math teacher, and do long division in my head.

    Karma!

    When I'm thinking to myself, I have this odd habit of moving my mouth as if I'm talking, but no sound comes out. If I'm thinking about deaf education or deaf world, my mouth doesn't move. My hands do. I have to catch myself because it looks weird but really I'm just thinking in my head like everyone else in this world does. Sometimes I think I need to put on one of those blue tooth phones just so people assume I'm talking on the phone, at least until they get close enough to know I'm not actually making any sound. Though it doesn't bother me that I do it, it bothers me that other people see it as weird so I try to be conscious of it. When someone stops and asks me if I'm okay, uh oh... that's my cue. Darn it. I did it again.

    Hmm... I have 3 passports/citizenships... I make vlog videos on my phone but never post them, I just like rewatching them later and reminiscing. I love meditating particularly in nature so I guess I'm kind of transcendentalist haha I only write in cursive because I don't know how to write in print.

    I can pick things up, pinch, and the like with my toes. It creeps my fiancé out, though.

    I dream that people are pregnant, and then within a few weeks they find out they are
    2 different psychics have told me that I am psychic
    I can't go to the bathroom without having the tap on, if it's not on then I just can't go..
    I have a freckle on my lip, and another on the sole of my feet, the 2 places that apparently you can't get freckles on

    WOW so many of them. I would say the most un-usual fact that shocks people is my opposite spectrum of jobs that I have had over the years. An example of this is I went from being in the Army a trained killer (Recon, 4 star General Body guard) to now doing proposals and having a white collar job sitting all day. I think half the time I get a interview based off my resume and the different jobs I have held.
  • Wow after reading all of these my strange habits don't seem so strange...
    I hate spit! It not only grosses me out but makes me angry. I mean I start shaking, my blood pressure rises, all of it. I hate it!
    I don't eat meat on the bone. If we have ribs at a restaurant my husband has to debone it for me first.
    I have night terrors. I will wake up in the middle of the night screaming and throwing things because I think someone is coming to attack me. If I am not doing that, I am frozen in fear because I will feel like I am awake and see a shadowy figure standing over me. I will actually talk to my husband and tell him this person is there and he doesnt see them. It is incredibly creepy.

    I have a memory like a elephant. Little things like what I ate 2 weeks ago on Tuesday. What the weather was a few years ago on a certian day, alot of dates on a calender what someone or myself wore and what color it was years ago. I can creep my friends out when I remember things about them.
