1. Due to marriage and divorce, I've had eight grandmothers - plus my future grandma-in-law
2. I studied African bead painting with the man who pioneered it
3. I've been with the same dude since we were 16
4. I never learned to ride a bike
5. I grew up with little to no air conditioning in 97 degree summers...even now that I have access to it, I hate it
6. My accent changes to match those around me - I can match any of the ten accents native to different regions of Georgia (scary, I know, but I'm from Atlanta, not Georgia: big difference believe me). I can do Boston or Cape and a few Flordia, Alabama, and Carolina variants.
7. I was forced to right-handedness as a kid, when that was in vogue in the early eighties. I still do anything instinctive or reaction motion-wise with my left.
8. I adopted my pug girl when I was 19, and laughed/complained about how much they snore. Eight years later: I can't sleep in motels or on vacations anymore - I need pug snoring to sleep
9. I've never been outside the US, but would like to slowly but surely travel the whole world were finances to make it possible
10. My shoulders dislocate at random - and I relocate them myself
1) I'm retired military
4) I learned to swim by being thrown into a lake
9) I like to bundle up in a blanket and read a book on my porch on a rainy day
Ditto, except it was a pool
And that number 4 is my idea of a fantastic day
