3littlekeets Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Oh my gosh, you are related to my 14yo dd. I don't even want to know how many she has. When the Mac collector's sets (I don't even know if that's what they're really called:001_smile:) come out, I have to have her at the mall when it opens! She won't even open them. Perhaps I was destined to be! I have the entire MAC Villains collection of makeup unopened. I just can't bear to use something so beautiful! Luckily, since I make more than DH, he doesn't dare say a word. :D. Actually, he has a shoe obsession, so his hobby is far more expensive than mine!

swellmomma Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I bet I am the only one on here that was on the tv show Hi-Q which was an Alberta version of Reach for the top. I was the only girl on my school's team and competed a couple times in malls and a couple times on tv. Only I was too scared to answer any questions. That was before the days that I started doing speech contests to get my public speaking voice. I also bet I am the only one that ran with a friend topless (though still in our bras) across the busiest street in town on a dare. Back in my super skinny, tiny bOOks with the cutest bOOkshelves in town days. I bet I am the only one that had to create household rules like do not throw animals out the window, do not climb out your window and then into the neighbors, do not pee in the kitchen dishes, Do not run down the street nekkid, do not use the stove to make fires, do not spray paint the swing set etc AFTER my son did each of those things. I bet I am the only one that got pg after knowing the man for only 1 week. Or the only one that has been married for 11.5 years BUT separated for 10.5 of them. Longest road to divorce ever. As for those mayo and banana sandwiches, :ack2: Banana and peanut butter is the right way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepyl Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) :thumbup1: I like the way you work. I've got the machines running now. We're recovering from a week of sickness and lack of sleep so it's time to clean up this mess. The past four weeks has been pretty miserable. By yhe end of thos week we will have put up two muaical productions, had the holidays of course, and me with constant morning sickness!! We are walking on clothes everywhere! The kitchen is just as bad. DH just gets frustrated and throws things around, but does not clean.....I am trying to get an hour a day of cleaning.....it will take a month at that rate!! ******I thought of a big one********* At the age of 12, my parents let me be in a university production of Hair. I was in the nude scene! We wore flesh colored body suits and there was lots of fog. All but 2 dancers were 12-13. I can't believe my parents let me do it. I learned A LOT that semester!!!

Jenny in Florida Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nuh-uh! Except my DH was 14 at the time. Well, we didn't date continuously. However, I met my husband when we were in fourth grade. We started "going together" in sixth, dated on and off through most of high school, broke up, were apart for nine years, got back together and got married three years after that. I bet I am the only one here who has ever cremated dead bodies. That may be true, but am I the only one who dated a funeral director?

CanaryMelody Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 In the food category: I like banana and mayo sandwiches. Mayo is the only thing I can eat banana sandwiches with. My mom fed them to me when I was a kid. Now she, on the other hand, is probably the only person ever to eat ice cream sandwiches. Not the frozen confection kind. The kind made with ice cream spread over two pieces of toast. Love love love Banana-n-Mayo sandwiches... no one in my family understands me. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 NUTS here, too! I'm a total fangirl about two things, Stargate SG1 and Texas Rangers baseball. One of the happiest trips my dh and I went on was to spring training a few years ago. Got to meet and have photos with some terrific players. My dh used to fly the Rangers and one of my prized possessions is a signed jersey--everyone on the plane the night they clinched the division in 2010 signed it for me. Very cool. :svengo: You are SO lucky!!! I would love to go see the Braves in spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acurtis75 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 This is the most entertaining thread I can remember. I love football, most sports actually. Started dating dh when I was fifteen and married at 22. Although I mostly listen to contempory Christian I have to admit that I love Eminem and have enjoyed listening to nwa although it's been a while. I bet no one on this board gets up at 5:30 am two days a week to play basketball with a group of men (occassionally including dh if he'll get out of bed). I am the only woman and I get some strange looks as I walk past th yoga and Pilates room on my way to the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a bad kisser. This SO does not surprise me. :tongue_smilie: My husband had Bob Mould take him out for pizza after a show, Mike Watt and Nels Cline invite him up for beers in the dressing room, and Mark Arm invite him back stage. Apparently, he must look like someone everybody wants to hang out with...at least I think he's cute :D.

fhjmom Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Well, mine aren't very impressive but they are the only thngs I can think of. :) Mostly I'm curious about who else has actually done some of these, I guess. - I've met and eaten a few meals with Phil Keoghen of The Amazing Race. - I've attended an opera at the Sydney Opera House. - I've been kissed on the check by David Copperfield. - I've walked the 50 yard line of the Dallas Cowboys stadium. - Apparently I the only Alabama fan but I'm not serious enough to fight for it. ;) - I've turned down the opportunity for an Asia trip because I'm scared of the food. :glare: - I've been online friends with a famous past porn star for over 5 years. Funny conversation with my husband when I told him what I just found out about this new acquaintance. LOL Now I want to try both hoop dancing and belly dancing thanks to this thread. I walked the 50 yard line and the sidelines at the old stadium (the one in Irving that was demolished) several times. I also have my name on a name plate from the locker rooms. When I was a high school athletic trainer, we played quite few play-off games there. That makes me think of one: I bet I am the only female here that owns two football state championship rings (of her own). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BakersDozen Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm so boring it has taken me this long to finally think of something! Actually, three things come to mind: I bet I'm the only one who has shared the handwashing area of the stingray exhibit in the zoo with Chris Noth (Law and Order) and his dc. Yummy eye candy, let me tell you! :tongue_smilie: I bet I'm the only one who got to eat Thanksgiving in the same room Oppenheimer et.al. ate in during the Manhattan Project. That was very cool. And then there's my local claim to fame: I bet I'm the only one who put her shopping cart away one night then jumped into what I thought was my friend's minivan only to be faced with a different woman who screeched, "What the *&%!"?? and was probably ready to mace me! I stumbled through an apology, hopped out and went to my friend's minivan (parked one spot over) and endured her laughing to the point of crying all the way back to my house. Pretty much everyone who knows me here heard about it by the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truscifi Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nope--Hawaii born and raised and never lived anywhere else. Maybe it was something poor people ate? She came from a poor family; we were definitely poor when I was growing up. Were y'all poor? (I've lived in the south a long time now--hence the y'all--but learned to eat banana and mayo sandwiches growing up in HI.) Did you eat sardine sandwiches? How 'bout pork-n-bean sandwiches? I haven't but Mom talks about eating those. :ack2: Yep, we were poor then. Oooh, I bet I'm the only person who has been to DragonCon and met the cast of Sanctuary and the new Battlestar Galactica.

Maus Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'll bet I'm the only one here who saw the student protests on Tiananmen Square live in person. We were there right about the same time that Gorbachev visited, mid-May of 1989. I was touring with the BYU Wind Symphony. We were supposed to have a luncheon and a concert right across the street from the square, but our buses couldn't get through for all the crowds. English speaking students were talking to us through our bus windows, asking us to make sure everyone heard about them in the West. Several of my fellow band members ended up with headbands handed up through the windows. (Being an introvert, I just ended up with about 11 rolls of film worth of photos.) That evening, back in our hotel, we watched out the windows as the entire hotel staff decorated a taxi with slogans and then left for the square. It was incredible. We had such a strong sense of being part of something that would be remembered as significant in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
