What's one thing about yourself that most people don't know?
It could be something you like, something you dislike, something you do or don't do....just make it something that maybe your closest friends may not even know!

Mary

P.S. I'll start....
I grew up by the ocean, but only learned to snorkel when I was 28.

I will NOT go to a circus with animals. I think it's mean to them. I love acrobatic circuses though.

Something personal that even my DH doesn't know. I think I go through major times of depression but I don't want to take medication for it. It helps get my mind off of things when I stamp.

Didn't know that one Joanne. What is A CPAP mask? Is it comfortable, doesn't sound comfortable

tojoco
01-10-2007, 05:15 PM
Yes, after 2 days of adjusting to it I don't even feel I'm wearing it. Tom and Corey call me Snuffleupacus (spell???) because the tube runs from the mask on my nose to the air flow machine on the night stand.

Mine is that I love reading the comics, have to read them every day! My coworker used to comment that I was the only adult she knew that read them and would laugh out loud. Those things are for adults anymore anyway!

I am also with Erin, I don't like circuses. Haven't been since I was a teen and saw what small cages the animals were kept in. It made me very sad.

And DH also has a sleep apnea machine, uses it even if he takes a nap. Says it makes him so much more rested than without it.

Love these polls!

GO FOR IT! It is the most surreal experience! Dolphins are so magical...so smart...very loving creatures...they have different personalities and they are soooooo playful! DO IT! The first experience I had in the water with dolphins was in the Bahamas...I knew then I must work with them!

I tried out for the Police Academy in Southern California back in 1994. We had to do an all day obstacle course and run and do a whole bunch of other things in extreme heat. I only weighed 95 pounds at the time & while I was pulling a 250 pound fake dummy backwards it fell on top of me & I passed out. The Paramedics had to carry me off of the Field.

Needless to say I pulled both of my hamstrings in my legs, & I failed the test. :(

I have left hotels before because of uncomfortable mattresses...I made my husband buy me a sleep number bed to the tune of $5000...I have to be comfortable!

However, as I was watching my soap last week, my son said, "Mom you are an intellingent woman, how can you watch that trash!!!" So I guess someone still thinks I'm smart. ( I'll take a compliment where ever I can find it.)

13 years ago I found out I have an older brother who lives in Indiana. He was born when my mom was a teen. My mom made a call to the pastor that led to them finding my brother again 33 years later. I went with my mom and family to meet him, his children and his adoptive mom. I had always wanted an older brother so it was really great to have such a great surprise.

I have a good friend who's son is autistic. He's turning 7 this year. He's starting to ask his mom and dad for stuff now. Like the other day he said "Want Music" to his mom while they were driving. They are an amazing family. I'm sure yours is too.

That's the year I was born. ROFLOL Sorry, I couldn't resist. I wish I knew all of the history of OLTL. I know that Dorian and Vicki have been at it for decades now. Can't wait to see that upcoming cat fight. And did you see it today? GO STARR! Woo hooo. hehe I'm not sure I like the new Michael though. That's going to be an adjustment. I used to watch GH too, but I gave it up about a year ago. I can't kick my OLTL habit though. It's great to have someone to talk about this with!!
