Freethought & Rationalism Archive

1) I am plenty-nine years old and a product of peace/love of the 60s.

2)Was a professional photographer now a garden designer.

3)Gardening is what I love and I have been in one magazine and will be in another this July, gardening mags that is. Neither one a big deal though.

4)Mother of a 21 year old, who came out last year as a lesbian. Only child.

5)People used to tell me I looked like Stevie Nicks, I don't look like her now, but then neither does she!

6)I lived in Hawaii for seven years. I decided to move there on the spur of the moment after I got out of college. I lived in a beach house most of the time and almost a year on a sailboat. Moved back to the Northwest as I missed the Cascade and Olympic mountains and the sea.

7)I worked the art show circuit for a number of years selling my photographs in art shows. Had one photograph sell in an art auction 10 years ago for 500 dollars. Problem was I had donated the piece so I didn't get any of the money. However it was a thrill to have one sell for that amount though. I needed that auctioneer at the art shows!

8)Happily married to an atheist after several decades. Men don't come any better than my man! We are partners and friends.

9) I am learning to build things such as fences and arbors with gates. I don't use plans I create as I build. Our local lumber yard answers a lot of my questions that help me do my projects right. Another creative outlet is sculpting with cement. I often wonder what my next weird outlet will be.

10) Who would have thought that years ago I would marry an atheist and enjoy the comraderie of atheists. I am not known as a logical type. I think I live on the wrong side of the brain for that!

Edited to add, the pic worked!

1. I run mad at the sight or sound of what I think might possibly be a bee even though I've never been stung.

2. I think diamonds are a scam and weddings/marriage unnecessary but I'll probably do it.

3. I'm usually late.

4. I was on The Dating Game and won (bachelorette #2)

5. I'm the only female (of 5) in my family without a boob job.

6. I live 1/2 block from the beach but hardly ever go.

7. I can twist my arms 360 to the disgust of anyone who sees it.

8. I dislike most girly things (shopping, hairstyles, gossip, cosmo, chick flicks,etc..)

9. I've done a zillion crosswords and no one will play word games with me.

10. I wonder, I learn, I know enough about a thing - then I completely lose all interest. I'm a hobby hopper.

[list=1][*]I find I have a hard time deciding which fact about me I would consider "Number One" on a list.
[*]I'm a criminal. I don't like to think of myself that way, but I commit criminal acts routinely .. so .. draw your own conclusions.
[*]I own a tractor. Not a lawn tractor, either - a full-blown farm tractor with PTO, hydraulics, etc.
[*]My prize possession is my beat-up 1958 Fender Telecaster (which I can play)
[*]I'm a recovering Republican
[*]I tried to get hypnotized one time, but I couldn't go under - for some reason I think this may be related to why Jesus wouldn't come into my heart.
[*]I wonder if I should do something special for my 666th POST - or do something particularly mundane to demonstrate my sneering indifference to all superstitions
[*]I've worked on almost every continent, except Antarctica (don't care) and Oceania (DO care).
[*]I think I would make a good Aussie (or Kiwi too, for that matter) but I would have to straighten them out on the whole football thing. And cricket - they're going to have to get rid of cricket if they want me there. I like Latin America pretty well, too, you know.
[*]I have five children and five granddaughters who, between them, encompass nearly every major ethnic group you can think of.

*Bonus round*
[*]One of my best friends was, until recently, a professional cockfighter (I know, I know)
[*]My next major purchase will probably be a sawmill.
[*]As a rural Oklahoma landowner, I claim license to ignore certain grammatical conventions - like that subjunctive deal. And double negatives. Around here, sometimes you just have to have them to get your point across.
[*]My life is pretty good, except for the times when it sucks.
[*]I know what love is.[/list=1]

THANK YOU! I've finally found someone else who cringes when people say "I wish I was..."

Well, in English at least, there are three cases: nominative, possessive and objective. The subjunctive is a mood.

Hey, you started it.

This sounds more disturbing than the GI Joe erotic fan fiction site someone sent me once..........

LHP Adept · 04-29-2003, 06:56 PM

1. I am male.

2. When I was 10, I spent a year living with a very religious (Methodist) foster family while my mother was in a mental hospital. They sent me to a private christian school. By the end of the year, all vestiges of theism had been purged from my psyche.

3. I speak a little German, but no other foreign languages.

4. During the blizzard of '77, our house was so deeply snowed in that we had to climb out a second-story window (that's first-floor, for you europeans).

5. I got my G.E.D. and started (community) college at age 15. I never got a degree.

6. I do not have, and have never had, a driver's license.

7. As a teenager, I seriously considered suicide. The main thing that stopped me was that I figured it would crush my mother.

8. I have made a new year's resolution that on Memorial Day this year, I will destroy my T.V. and never waste another hour staring at the 'idiot box'. I've already bought a baseball bat.

9. My record for most orgasms in 24 hours is six (I was 19).

10. You do not have clearance for fact #10.

elanah · 04-29-2003, 07:14 PM

1. I am female.

2. I am oh-so-distantly related to Charles Goodnight, Texas rancher and supposed inventor of the chuck wagon.

3. I was incredibly shy as a child, and didn't like to talk to anybody outside of my immediate family until I hit elementary school. My preschool teachers called my parents in one day and very seriously asked them if I could talk.

4. I have an enormous thing for Orlando Bloom, along with the large majority of female teenagers.

5. I'm currently having lots of fun working on the set for our school's production of Blithe Spirit as part of my Technical Theater class.

6. I'm tentatively planning to major in Chemistry with a forensic science emphasis.

7. I was born in Memphis, Tennessee.

8. I have two cats, both female- one grey by the name of Smoky, and the other orange and white we call Amber. Original, no?

9. I have on my dresser, from my 17th birthday party, a Kung-Fu Dancing Hamster.

10. I really don't like wearing closed-toed shoes. I would wear sandals all year if I could.
