25 Things About Me
You either didn’t know or don’t want to know…
1. I am terrified of anything that resembles a bee, hornet or wasp. 2. Twice I have dated men 18 years younger than I am. 3. I have lived in Michigan all my life and would love to never see snow again in my life. 4. I was 45 when I decided to get my master’s degree since I never finished the one I started at 25. I had to start from scratch. 5. I use having had skin cancer as an excuse for not doing my yard work. 6. I have about 200 pairs of socks. I won’t throw them out unless they get holes in them. 7. I love thunderstorms so much I used to make my old dog sit on the front porch with me and watch them. The nastier the better. 8. Every time the sun comes out during or right after a rain I run outside to see the rainbow. I love double rainbows but have only seen one snowbow. 9. I used to calmly interview children regarding abuse and then pull my car over after leaving and sit in a parking lot and cry. 10. I want to sky dive but can’t justify jumping out of a perfectly good plane. 11. I want to live in the woods but I want city water. 12. I love cruises because I never have to decide where to go to dinner and no one has to worry about driving after drinking, plus they bring a new island to you every morning. 13. I think coffee smells really, really bad. 14. I live in Michigan and have maybe seen two of the Great Lakes. 15. Canada is south of me. (I am north of Detroit, which is north of Windsor, Ontario) 16. I was originally a math major in college. 17. I saw the Beatles and the Rolling Stones perform live. 18. I love vampire stories and lore. 19. Every time I go to California I secretly hope for a nice, small earthquake. 20. When I visit people’s homes and they leave the television on, I feel I should leave so they can enjoy whatever it is they feel a need to watch. 21. I have terrible, terrible nightmares. 22. I have no filing system but can find any paper within a few minutes. 23. I have never really understood what a gasket is. 24. It bothers me that I have no major skill. 25. After I retired I read a whole book every day for a few months.

I think it's rude to leave a TV blasting when someone stops by to visit. Gasket? I'm sure they're important, but I don't really understand them either.
Number 20 actually concerns guest's rights. It's in the handbook the government mailed out last year. When arriving in a friend's home as their guest, you have the right to kick the picture tube until it implodes, if you are not, or don't believe yourself to be, the center of attention. It's page 17, paragraph 3. Trust me.
You've got a really interesting list! I love #2 about dating younger guys (te, he, he). And you're the 2nd person who's got "coffee smells bad" on their list, but I just can't imagine such a thing! ¤Holly

I love thunderstorms, too!
I'm scared of bees, hornets and wasps, also. I've had a wasp fly into my ear because I had perfume behind my ear (never again behind the ear!) and someone had to pull it out with tweezers, it's stinger outside barely, it's wings beating,and buzzing, feet scratching the inside of my ear, antennae wiggling. The most excruciating feeling in the world. My ear has never felt the same since.
I'm awed that you got to see the Beatles and Rolling Stones perform live.
I'd like to hear more about this, Suz.
I have nightmares, too. Where's the off switch for this? If you find it let me know.
Best,
Debi
