50 (well almost 50) Things About Me

If you read this.....FILL IT OUT!!! Learn 50 things about your friends and let them learn 50 things about you!  I got this from Robin at; http://journals.aol.com/robinngabster/Thesearethedaysofourlives/entries/1612 who She got it from someone else.

1. How tall are you barefoot?
5'5"  I used to be taller but because of a three level spinal fusion back in 1992 and getting old...I have shrunk almost 3 inches. YIKES !

2. Have you ever smoked before?
Well, this is a touchy one.  I never had the habit and I never inhaled (that's a true fact..it made me dizzy) but I did in my past, puff on a few cigarettes from time to time. However, it's been many, many years and again I'm happy to say I was never addicted to the nasty things. I guess I was a social puffer.

3. Do you own a gun?
I have a squirt gun...does that count?

4. What's your favorite sport to watch?
None...I don't care to watch any of them. About 5 minutes of the Jerry Springer show is enough sports for me.

5. How many letters are in your crush's name?
There are 4 letters in that special name

6. What do you think of hotdogs?
The ones from Costco are wonderful about twice a year.  And maybe once or twice one off the bar-b-que tastes good.  Again, I'm not addicted to them, because I always get horrible heart burn and it's not worth it.

"Mary Did You Know"

decaf Yuban with lots of liquid Coffee Mate (the unflavored one)

12. Do you like painkillers?
I'm allergic to all the so-called good ones. So even when I had back and other surgeries all I got was Tylenol.

13. What is your secret weapon to lure in the opposite sex?
