    I slid down the emergency landing slide of the NAOC (National Airborne Operations Center). Which is the Boeing 747 that is used for the President, VP, SecDef etc. If anything crazy ever goes down (this is the plane they sent to the whitehouse to get the VP on 9/11).
    My birthday is St. Patrick's Day
    I'm an expert shot on the M16 rifle

    My mom and I have the same birthday. . . . and there are four sets of us all together in the family like that lol

    My sister and I are both born on the 11th, She's the 11th of Feb 1989 and I am 11th July 1990..

    When we were little and ppl would ask when our birthday was we would just say the 11th..
    Everyone thought we were twins hahaha

    lol. . That is so awesome. . I could see that happening though since you both were so close in age.

    We look NOTHING alike which was the funnier part..
    she was always tall and skinny and I was always short and frumpy haha

    Around high school no one even knew we were sisters she was the tall popular chick..
    I was the music nerd.. lol

    Randomness about me..and or my family..

    My great great grandfather was a famous medium, and wrote the book ..the Soul of Jack London, finishing it after his death through his wife.. ( um...so she said lol) after his death his widow had an affair with Harry Hoodini. :)

    I have 2 brothers and 1 sister, we are all born within 4 days of a holiday, mine is Christmas....fun. NOT.
    My birthdate is a mirror image... 12-21 the year I was born also adds to 12. My 55 th birthday is 12-21-12

    I spent my teen years thinking I was SO short, I'm 5'7", my mom was 6'ft my dad 6'4, brothers are 6'4 and 6'7 and my sister is 6ft. Nearly every woman in my family is at 6ft and most of the men are over 6'2. So you can see why I thought that...lol

    I have researched my family geneology and love that as a hobby, so I do it for friends..one of the other nurses and I share an 8th great grandmother...and I am related to many presidents or their wives, including Rutherford B. Hayes, William Howard Taft and Gerald Ford. The wives of Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Dwight D Eisenhower. and odd but true I'm related to both Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey..LOL

    I love accents....when I hear one and can mimic it well in a very short time, I can switch between them randomly and am quite entertaining they say at parties.LOL

    I'm sure there are more unique than I ..but just sharing..LOL

    I once had my car in the body shop and when I got it back I was driving to pick my boyfriend at the time up from work. I felt something tickle my knee, when I went to scratch it I felt something hard. So I grabbed the hard thing and clutched it, while still in my pants, for two more miles until I got to his job. When I got there him and a bunch of guys were standing around, I got out and said "hold on, there's something in my pants", shook my leg, and out fell a dead mouse. :blushing: Guess I squished his head when I was clutching him. The boyfriend and all his friends cracked up. We later found the mouse had been nesting in my glove box at the body shop.

    Oh my heavens! That's terrifying! I'd have wrecked my car!!! Thank goodness you're okay!

    I went into labor 5 weeks early because my husband made me laugh SOOO hard.
    We were hanging out at home, and he was telling funny stories. I just got so hysterical with laughter and couldn't stop, and then my stomach started hurting, and I was literally laughing and screaming at the same time- "Stop making me laugh! Something is wrong!"
    Our baby girl was born couple hours later. There was no other explanation for her being born early. I hadn't had a single problem or contraction of any type before that night.

    Awesome story! How funny!!!

    Silly to most, I am sure, but I make my own laundry detergent. And since I have been doing so, it only costs about $8 per year. And my clothes come out as clean as if I had used the name brand detergents.

    I smile each time I pass the detergent aisle in the store!
