Tell something interesting / odd about your life.....

My little brother and I saved each others' lives on the same day. Rogue wave came, I was able to lift him up an embankment but unable to climb it myself. He grabbed my arms and held on while the water washed up to my waist. We were 7 & 9.

Watched Mt St Helens erupt on May 18th, 1980.

Been thru enough typhoons & hurricanes to think they are kinda boring now.

Have a hypermobile patella. That means I can slide it all over my knee. I'm used to it, but it grosses out most others.

My USMC career can be described as "Missed it by 2 weeks". To include the Loma Prieta earthquake, invasion of Panama, Operation Desert Shield/Storm, and eruption of Mt Pinatubo.

I'm related to Pat Benetar, my hubby is related to Nicholas Cage and Francis Ford Coppola,

AND the guy who played the fat kid pitcher on the original Bad News Bears is my husband's cousin We see him quite often.

3 months after moving, my town got hit by an earthquake pretty bad. (89)
4 months after another move, the house I lived in was destroyed in a hurricane (91)
2 months after I moved in '02 my bedroom was completely flooded.

My first winter in GA (95) and PA (02) we had a white Christmas

Wow - after reading some of these, I've learned that I have lived a boring life! But here's my contribution anyway: I was born on the Fourth of July, my mom was born on Christmas and my brother just missed New Year's by a day. My second toe is also longer than my big toe. I'm a blonde cleverly disguised as a brunette. My sis-in-law was murdered 5 years ago and the a$$hat is still on the loose, only person I waste energy on hating.

I love root beer floats and the smell of gasoline.
I can also wiggle my ears

I despise moving... and I am moving from Seattle to Atlanta in 12 weeks with an infant and an almost 3 year old. I'm hauling a trailer.

I looooove breaking ribs during cpr. It means I am giving high quality chest compressions. :flowerforyou:

I've only ever lived on islands, 4 different ones, in 3 different countries.

I've touched Alec Baldwin
I interned for the Bozo the Clown Show
thats about it

Love Bozo the Clown growing up!

"American Pie" is legitimately based on my high school. I've never seen the movie, but apparently the girl with the flute was loosely based on my sophomore English teacher. And Band Camp used to have a "don't ask, don't tell" drug/misbehavior policy, so yeah...

I'm also a member of the best solar car team in America!

Years ago when I worked in a call center... they used to call me that girl ("one day at band camp" ) That was me, overly chipper. LOL

I survived several mortar attacks that other people didn't. Still hate fireworks.

I danced in a Korean pop music video. The director kept maniacally shouting "dance like Licky Mahtin!" (Ricky Martin)

I have a top 1% IQ that is TOTALLY wasted on me. Embarassingly wasted.

I can break a sewing machine or kill a plant just by looking at it. But I have Pinterest aspirations of growing my own food and sewing all sorts of crap.

I've seen a ghost.

I name my cars after Latino men. Not intentionally; it just happens that way (I currently drive Mario, before that it was Diego...)

I've had the heimlich manouver performed on me (thankfully!).

I've moved between states or countries 16 times (and that doesn't count deployments). Hmm. No wonder I'm single.

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.

Amen and Hallelujah! God is Great!!!!!

When I was 10 years old I swam out to help save my best friend from drowning but was pulled under in the panic. They got her to safety and eventually fished me out as I watched on...

I am a lucid dreamer and that helps me get the hell out of my nightmares…
I also dream in color.

My earliest childhood memories go back to when I was 2 yrs old.

I have broken my arm 6 times (three on each) from age 5 to age 14
I have 4 uterer tubes (you should only have 2)
I am tongue tied (the tip of my tongue is literally tied to the bottom part of my mouth. My mother's was like this and she had her's clipped and my son's tongue is tied as well.)
My son has a set of webbed toes and what looks like a 6th toe that tried growing on top of the two that are webbed.
I got "knocked up" by the garbage man and later married him (God love em)

Nothing too weird but I have a gigantic birth mark on the left side of my body and its about the size of my hand. Ever since I was a kid when I would go to a Doctors office or somewhere to get examined I'm always asked what happened there. There have even been a couple of times where Doctors have wanted to talk to me in private and ask if my parents had abused me.

One of my son's has a birth mark like that right above his buttocks, on his lower back. He is adopted through the state so fortunately for me they had it documented, but I was accused of abusing him at first. That got cleared up right away, thank God!

My daughter was born with a similar mark -- so glad it faded away during her first year, just for that very reason!
