  • I am licensed and can drive any form of transportation with wheels under it. From a horse and carriage to a motorcycle up to an 18 wheeler.

  • I used to make extra money in college telling fortunes.

  • I fell on a manure pit at the farm when I was 8 or so, and almost died.
    Next time you are under the impression that you're in deep 💩... you'll think of me 😬

  • Book a session to find out 🤪🤣🤗

    3 years ago I met a pig named Sherman that began my journey of becoming a vegetarian and animal advocate.

    I once had to break up an altercation between my mother and Kevin Bacon at the whole foods store.

    I've moved more than 40 times (not a military family, my parents were just broke and chasing happiness). I went to 4 middle schools in 3 states, and learned about civil war history 6 years in a row. Which was very strange, because what we learned changed drastically depending on what state I was learning it in. And people ask why I'm such a skeptic....

  • @brightlyconfuse Elaborate on the Bacon story please. Would love to hear it.

    @brightlyconfuse
    I have studied the Civil War for many years and I understand what you are saying.

    I once went with my girlfriend to visit her father in S.F. A friend of his was there and kept us in stitches all evening. His name was Paul Lynne, mostly famous for the show Hollywood Squares.

    I am afraid of balloons. I am one quarter Hispanic/Latino.

    @AintMisbehavin that bouncer story is badass. Love it.

    I was a construction electrician (commercial/industrial) for 13 years and was the first journeywoman in IBEW Local #1.

    @brightlyconfuse - then you are just two steps from Kevin Bacon. Awesome.

    There is a HBO documentary from 1993 I believe called Nation of Hate . It followed the Confederate Hammerskins , a neo nazi group that was in Alabama. It is sad for me to watch as I actually knew a few of the kids in it, prior to them straying so far off the path into that kind of life. Anyways , so I am at a local joint watching the Vomit Spots, a local punk band , and in cones members from the Hammerskins , followed by HBO cameramen . They of course didnt air several skins getting their asses stomped, however they did show them in the crowd and for a brief moment , you see a side view of my 16 yr old self in the pit . So I am forever part of an HBO doc on freaking skinheads of all things!

    @OhioMike
    I thought I saw you in that bathing suit issue.

  • I see dead people. They are everywhere. They don't know they are dead.

    @MCcuddles2

    That's quite a talent! They should probably make a movie about you.

  • @Btown 😆 good one!

    Every time i reach for somthing in my head i say "go go gadget aaarm" 😆
    (From child's TV show in the 80s inspector gadget)

  • I collect toy ponies. The more colorful, the better.

    I have a thing for big trucks.

    I lived on the road in my SUV for two years, traveling the country alone.

    P.S. @Btown 😂

  • People I meet have been about 50/50 on whether they think I'm a girl or a boy my whole life. Once they've picked one it's equally difficult to change their minds from either direction (at least, without divulging private medical information to someone who really doesn't need it—and they do ask for it)!

    I also have a personal library of over 1000 books, and have been apprenticed to two separate watchmakers.

    @CozyWolfy my ex used to say that whenever she would reach for something 🤣. I loved watching Inspector Gadget as a kid.

    @FunCartel The story is actually not as interesting as the headline, but I’ll tell 😺 Kevin Bacon had friends that were teachers of mine at a little hippy school in PA and would often come to the little Whole Foods store that was in town there. My mom was in line checking out and he was behind her putting his things on the conveyor. I guess she was in a bad mood and he “slammed” something onto the counter behind her and she turned around and started screaming at him for being too close to her (she called him a creeper). I saw her gesticulating wildly through the window from the car, and ran in to help her. He was very sweet and kept apologizing and I pulled her outside and told her who he was, she was (and forever will be) mortified! Another fun fact, since he was my drama teachers’ neighbor and friend, he and Kyra Sedgwick were in the audience of my 10th grade performance of Antigone. waggles eyebrows

    @Babichev My family and friends are so tired of playing that game with me. Hey, it’s my only claim to fame, why not flaunt it? 😹

  • Never been in a relationship with anyone who lived closer than 8,000 miles away.
    I've been kicked out of several casinos for being too good at the game of Blackjack. I count cards. It's not illegal.. it's just doing math in your head.

  • My list of hobbies don't seem to all connect in one person: my hobbies include going to raves, reading, watching basketball, running, and battling with Beyblades. Surprisingly absent from that list is gaming. One of my really good friends remains shocked that I enjoy the variety of hobbies that I do

    1. I failed sixth and 7th grade, took algebra classes 3 years in a row, but caught up and graduated high school on time with a 3.8 GPA.
    2. I think I am dyslexic, my numbers switch when I'm under pressure, so I triple check my math, my day job requires a lot of math.
    3. I have been lead into hypnosis 3 times, once, while under hypnosis I delivered a baby and then cussed out my coworker because I believed she had cheated on me.
    4. I lead myself into hypnosis (hypnotherapy) to deal with labor pains instead of medication.
    5. My daughter is said to have "flown out" the water propelled her, as well as my push, with fear that I was suffocating her, gladly the nurse caught her in the air like a football.

    That I'm a really good cook when I want to do it but I just don't want to very much. People always act surprised by that and I'm always a little surprised they are so surprised. Do I just look like someone who has never been in a kitchen?

    .

  • I used to live in the country in Indonesia, and what most people don’t know about me is that my family used to own a really small farm. We owned a rooster that was really mean, and he used to chase me around as a little kid.

    He is the reason for my fear of roosters.

  • @PlushPillow99 that doesn't surprise me, roosters are fearless little bastards. There is a reason why loony tunes rooster is a huge bully lol

  • When I was a child about 8 years old, I was with my family in our yellow VW van. (This picture is just for a visual). My mom was lost trying to get to
    who knows where, well she took a side dirt rd and was going pretty fast, when she got to a clearing realized a lake was right in front of her. She slammed on the breaks and tried to turn as quick as possible, so we didn’t end up in the lake. The sliding door flew open and I was almost flung out the door. My mom, being the super human she is, reached back and grabbed me keeping me from falling out of the van. It all happened so fast, I didn’t realize what had happened. My mom is my hero.

  • I was sworn and submitted a deposition to a Congressional investigation as a subject matter expert.

    I chased a black bear over 100 meters out of a campsite while wearing Renaissance-styled fighting armor.

    I befriended an Pied Crow in Africa, and while he never brought me any 'shinies', he'd visit daily and call out my mobile ringtone whenever he saw me.
