This started on another website I am member of as a game of "Tag" where when you are tagged you have to share at least 5 things about yourself that would not come up in an everyday conversation.I am tagging everyone on mylot.One rule no nasty remarks are to be posted in your post or in response to another persons post. If you can't play nice please don't play at all. To be fair I will go first.1)I am obsessed with Burning Man! I have been trying to get to the event every year for 5 years now and am currently(and slowly)working on an art piece called "Lost in thought" which is a brain shaped maze.For those of you who don't know what Burning Man is you can look here http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/2) I love Fraggle Rock. I don't know why but those funny little guys always make me feel better when I am down and I can often be caught singing the theme song while cleaning.3) I am currently trying to learn to belly dance (I stress trying)by following the show shimmy on fit t.v. 4)When I'm sick I crave Strawberry soda. My grandpa used to bring it to me when I would get sick growing up and now that I'm grown I always miss it. 5)I am terrified of beetles, and my boys love to chase me with them. The only beetle I like is a lady bug. O.k. now it's your turn.

Well first off I would love to be your friend! I'm flattered that you asked. I also want to travel the world I really want to see Ireland, I'm 3/4 Irish so it's a natural draw there. I have to say hats off to any one in HR I could never deal with the headaches that come with that job. I would also love to see Beijing so you'll have to tell me all about it.

You sound a lot like a very dear friend of mine that I lost contact with. I lost his phone # in the move and never could remember his last name. Big biker teddy bears are some of the best people in the world. I don't know why you want to figure out what to be when you grow up... just do what I do don't grow up. LOL I also love my cartoons. Glad to hear that you have a guinea pig that's willing to try your new inventions. We all could use some one like that in our lives. Thanks for sharing.

Holy Cow! I have never heard of anyone that could knit with their fingers only. That is a very cool talent. See learning cool stuff like this is why I love these games. You rock. As for the school I really think you should go for it.P.S. if you ever get bored and happen to post maybe a you tube video of you knitting please let me know I would LOVE to see that.

First I have to ask were you trying to stay awake for all that time? I'm only asking because I have chronic anxiety disorder and have panic attacks that will keep me awake for days at a time. I also love reggae and rock... actually I have a love for most all music. Flying cockroaches do suck big time especially when they get stuck in your hair. Thanks for sharing. PS learning to drive at 11 is impressive.

Five things I'm ashamed of: 1) my hair - it's greying and thinning; self-dying doesn't help much. 2) myself - I said I have so many things to accomplish when retiring, but after 3 yrs., didn't even do half. 3) My addiction to buying (books, clothes, DVD's, household items, food) - I consider it stress reducing, until the credit card bills arrive, and the house is in disarray and therefore I don't w3ant company! 4) My father and my husband, the two men in my life = they are always arguing and shouting at each other and me. My father embarrasses me in the department store (about prices, bangs into people with his walker, needs to leave before I'm done shopping, and I have to help him walk). My husband has a temper tantrum when things go wrong (on a trip, in the mall, or at an organizational event), so I don't like to take them anywheres any more. 5) My medical conditions, which sometimes preclude me from going places - canceling appointments or coming late or getting an attack in the middle of an event (asthma, stomach problems, arthritis, anxiety/depression), even though I take medicine for them.

First never be ashamed sweety we all have our issues my dad and hubby tend to embarrass me too but they work at it.Grey's are just another badge of a life well lived, and as for the attacks heck I totally can relate to the anxiety attacks but I flushed my meds after I realized just how trashed they were keeping me. Thank you for sharing with us and keep your head up it sounds to me like you are just a great lady with very full hands.

1) I actually learned some basically belly dancing and other arabic dance moves about 7 yeara ago. 2) I know how to crochet (I don't bring this up, because people ask you to make stuff. It can be time consuming and expensive.) 3) I collect magazines. I just like to read them over and over again. Or look at the pictures. 4)I collect purses. 5)For some reason, I enjoy playing with calculators. Maybe it's because my math skills suck. Wow, this was hard to list. i had to keep thbinking of if I tell a lot of people this.

I do not know many people that can remember what they learned at that age so don't feel lonely. I like baseball too but only live games I fall asleep when I watch it on t.v. I think I need to be able to yell at people.lol Does the yoga really help maybe I'll add that to the things I need to try. Thanks for sharing
