Great idea Liz. I'll have to give this some thought.

[Mac]

Love this! I'll have to work on this tonight.

And Liz, you were very open. I love that!

[keb]

Since you were so open Liz I'll try and think of something and thanks for the little look in to you .....

[Wait4it]

I have a feeling I'm going to be visiting this thread often.
I truly hope some of our shy THR visitors will take this opportunity to let us get to know them.

Should I pick 20 "oh that's not bad" stuff or 20 "omfg she did what/is/you're kidding me" stuff? Or a mixture maybe?

[UHadMeAtWooHoo]

lol TMW whatever you want. We could probably branch out and have another 20 Naughty Things list in another area too

OK- let's see:
1) Adopted, raised an only child, found my birth siblings (8 of 'em) including 3 sets of twins, of which I ARE one.
2) Member of the Salvation Army and play tuba in the band.
3) I don't smoke or drink at all.
4) Pianist for a male gospel quartet, and we made a CD back in '09- starting to think now of a 2nd one.
5) Lost 100 lbs about 25 years ago, but gained it all back, and then some- lost 60 again during treatment.
6) Work as an operator at a telephone answering service- will be 27 years in May.
7) Never married- not for lack of trying- stopped looking for "Mr.Right"- now looking for Mr."He'll do"...
8) Double mastectomy back in July '09- battle of my life, and I won!!!!!
9) I have absolutely NO housekeeping skills at all...
10) Taylor Hicks makes me feel young and alive again.
11) Travelled alone by Greyhound 26 hours across the border to see him and meet my SP friends.
12) I love FaceBook- if you're not my friend, look me up- Ann McNeil.
13) I love Data from Star Trek TNG and have Brent Spiner's CD downloaded- "Ol' Yelloweyes is Back"
14) I have the most wonderful son in the world.
15) I play piano, organ, trombone, tuba, baritone (small tuba...lol), guitar and a little bit of flute.
16) I love Sudoku puzzles.
17) I could live on Italian and Chinese food.
18) I love my Slow Cooker.
19) I have a 16 year old Calico cat, Ruffles, who is a real suck- just love her- had her since she was about 5 weeks old- my son wasn't even 8 and he's almost 24 now.
20) The one thing that I will NEVER forget- Taylor phoned me the night before my surgery to encourage me.

So, there I am in a nutshell...... any questions? There WILL be a quiz later.....
