Kareni Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I bet I'm the only one here that... lived without electricity for six months, while pregnant and having six children. So, does that mean you have sextuplets? I may be the only one here who attended fifteen different schools between Kindergarten and 12th grade.

kubiac Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 It took me a long time to think of something to contribute, but: I bet I'm the only one here who...pees in a five-gallon bucket filled with shredded junk mail and then dumps it in the compost, because I hate wasting all that perfectly good nitrogen and water that could be going back into the earth.

Not quite, but I use shredded junk mail for rabbit litter and put the result in the compost pile! Is it just you, using the bucket, or is the rest of the family compelled to help out the compost :D?

kubiac Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Is it just you, using the bucket, or is the rest of the family compelled to help out the compost :D? It's just me, but husband has free reign to pee anywhere in the backyard that he wants, but I direct him sometimes. "Pee in that corner near the sprinkler! I want to kill off the rest of that darn comfrey." And we're still pottytraining the kid, hee. Oh, and I bet I'm the only one who's gone for a ride in the Goodyear Blimp. ('Tis veddy veddy loud up there.) I bet I am the only one here with several scraps of tinted nitrate film stock from the 1910s in a little basket on the shelf. Um...isn't nitrate film explosive?! :) I like banana and mayo sandwiches. We used to eat chopped olive and cream cheese sandwiches growing up. Yum. Not cardiovascularly correct, but yum. I am probably the only one here that carries a card that showing I am a registered temporal bone donor. They also have permission to take my associated brain structures. The National Temporal Bone Registry matches donor tissue with research facilities around the country. Oooh...I should sign up for this! I love registering to give away body parts. (Why won't they come for my bone marrow--WHY?!) ...who has accidentally laundered a large cockroach. I almost drank a cockroach once. Sigh.

And we're the 6th largest district in our state. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Knoll Mom Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This is hilarious. I fell out of a car when my date reached over to kiss me. I had opened the door to leave (flee) when he started talking again. I leaned back in, but the door didn't close. When he leaned over to kiss me, I moved up against the door to avoid his kiss and the door flew open. I tumbled out and ran into the house. We were both so embarrassed, but how we're FB friends. Laura Thankfully, mine wasn't on a date, and the couple in the backseat were dear friends of ours, but same basic scenario. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDRAD Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I hope I'm the only one who got engaged in a Super 8 hotel room. I cringe when women start swapping proposal stories. My husband proposed to me in my parents' dining room then left 15 min. later to go play paintball with his buddies. I still tease him about it and he kicks himself for being so stupid.:lol: He's made up for it many time over the past 11 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
