    My second toes are longer than my big toes and I love bacon.

    I though that was how toes are meant to be and my husband was the weird one. SIGH

    I had a miracle healing from gallbladder disease! Five doctors told me I'd have to have it removed. One day, during one horribly intense attack, my dh called me and said he was tired of it, put his hands on my stomach and said, in the name of Jesus, your gallbladder is healed! Immediately I ran from him, threw up all over the bathroom and all the pain stopped. Haven't had a gallbladder attack in three years, prior to that day I was having them 2-4 times a week.

    It was amazing, and I'm amazed by the power of God every time I think about it.


    Awesome!! Amen!

    Well, beside being trampled by thousands of women at a conference in Africa, I have worked under cover to bring down a drug ring and I wasn't in the CIA/FBI or what not.

    Anyone who has heard about the Hartford circus fire of 1944, my uncle is the one who arranged for it to come to town.

    I've been drinking coffee since I was an infant. True Story. My mother used coffee to warm my formula. I was the 4th child.

    When I was a kid I used to drink it but it was probably more cream & sugar than coffee. Now I drink black coffee and occasionally I'll have an iced coffee with a SPOT of skim milk and some splenda oh and even more occasionally I'll have a skim latte/cappuccino.

    I didn't realize that my oldest sister was my half-sister until she and my dad got into a screaming match when I was 8, she was 16. Now that I think of it, it was pretty stupid of me not to realize. My parents had gotten pregnant with my middle sister when they first starting dating and got married 6 months later. (so my parents wouldn't have been together when my oldest sister was born) and she the only blonde in the family...
    But I guess if your parents don't tell you this stuff, you never really think about it because you have no reason to assume otherwise.

    Also, my grandmother wanted to send me to Italy to marry me off when I was a teen, but my parents wouldn't allow it.

    My father and I have birthdays on the 14th, and my stepmom and her daughter have birthdays on the 16th - but none of us share the same month. I just always thought that was neat.

    Every time I hear about someone who is suicidal on a blogging site I go on a lot, I'm always first to ask people to send them love and to beg them not to do it. I feel like I do it for the wrong reasons, though. I do it because I feel guilty for not reaching a friend in time a few years ago. They're gone now.




    That hit home for me. Same thing happened with my little brother last year in May, I still feel guilty to this day......... :cry:

    My birthday is August 16
    My husband's birthday is November 5
    Our daughters birthday is August 5
    Our son's birthday is November 16

    Our daughter was born 10:23 am
    Our son was born 10:23 pm
    Both had to be taken by ambulance to a NICU and both had a spinal tap when they were only 2 days old.

    I show dairy cows

    I was 16 when I found out I was adopted. My older cousin got mad at me over something and told me I was adopted to hurt me. I asked my parents and my mother flew apart and I thought she was going to literally kill someone.

    My husband is 16 years older than me.

    I can't stand the sounds of styrofoam and cotton balls being squished.

    I was the receptionist at an 'Adult Entertainment Agency '. Which basically means I answered the phone for those personal ads in the newspapers for every type of "company" you were looking for. There was 50 different ads with different numbers that were all routed to a sketchy office building. Guys would call the number, tell me what kind of "date" they were looking for, I'd check the "roster" of available women that night and set it up with her and the drivers.

    You'd be amazed at how busy that place was every night of the week.

    This isn't MY life, but brother's so close enough. LOL

    But he was born in Japan. My friend was born here in the U.S. on the same exact day/year, etc. But I told him my brother is techinally a day older than him because of the time difference.

    I was told I couldn't have children my whole life due to past medical issues. Despite being careful (for reasons other than pregnancy) I became pregnant. It was so surprising that my doctor couldn't figure out why I was so so sick until I was 5 months. He was convinced I had a tumor in my brain and was going to start me on heavy duty medication and chemo. My mother was the one who suggested a preg. test.

    My daughter was born a very healthy baby.
    She was born at 6:10
    She weighed 7lbs 11 ounces
    and her birthday is 8 12 (aug 12)

    Despite trying, I have never been able to get pregnant again, and can honestly say she is my miracle baby.

    When I was 15, I met Beyoncé and she sneezed on me (RUDE). I had to miss the school water sports trip two days later, because I had the cold.

    Before I was 25 I had lived in 4 different cities in 4 different countries (excluding my home city of Belfast): Dublin, Ireland; Paris, France (I have lived there twice now); Amsterdam; the Netherlands (perhaps my personal fave); and Sydney, Australia.

    I went to universities in Dublin, Paris and Amsterdam, and completed my studies in all three (in law)- but was still turned down for a job at McDonalds.

    I have a 25 year old stuffed animal called Puffa (he was a Puffalump) that has now taken on the shape of a dirty dishcloth. Puffa was given to me as a woman, but when I was about 8 I began to realise he wasn't at all happy living that lifestyle, so I threw away (lost) his dress and he has been happily living as a male ever since. We share a bed every night- and no I am not single. My boyfriend of 6 years gets to go to bed with him every night, too. I once lost Puffa in Amsterdam, so I wrote an obituary for him on Facebook. It got 159 likes. (I got him back in the end)

    My husband and I met through a personal ad. I had several responses, and he was the only one I called back. Dated for 3 months, and got engaged. The date of our first date was 5/17/97. We had our first child together on 5/17/01. Once we started talking about our lives when we were dating, we realized we just missed meeting each other on various occasions (same place, same time...concerts mostly). My cousin worked with him at the Adler Planetarium and I remember going to a sky show where he was the narrator (he has a distinctive voice). Our maternal grandparents all have the same first names (Barbara & Joseph). Lots of coincidences.

    Due to the right genes being mixed, I am the "mutant" of both sides of the family. From one side I got height (all the men are between 5'10" and 6'1"), and from the other, heavy build (try to imagine 5'6" and below, but 3' wide and packs on muscle easily). And I took both to the next level - I'm the tallest and the biggest of both sides. My parents (5'6" each of them) and I get jokes about mix ups at the hospital, genetic experiment, etc.

    I'v been resuscitated.

    What was that like?

    I don't remember it because I was young and dumb. I overdosed and woke up in the hospital 3 days later where they told me about it. Lots of residual rib pain (CPR breaks ribs) but I learned from it and NEVER touched another drug, stopped smoking and drinking. Now I am a nurse who takes care of people who are detoxing.

    Wow, that's amazing that your tragedy helped you find a calling that blesses others - your patients have a nurse that can understand.

    I spent last night searching a Storm Water Management pond for a 9 foot python that was reportedly dumped in it. People call me like that crazy guy on TV when they have snake problems!

    I can't STAND regualr Mt. Dew... I'm told that's pretty odd.
    I don't like Mt. Dew...any of it.
    Lol, something about it is just weird. I think the bright neon green color of it freaks me out as well as the taste of sugar dumped in seltzer water... just can't stand it. The red is ok, but I get sick if I drink too much. Blue is my fave though. But again... small doses. My bf can drink Mt. Dew like it's nothing... and I get a bit sick watching him do that.
    I don't like the taste of it. I can drink a bit of the red, but usually don't.
