In April of 2004 I wrote an entry on 25 things about me. I am reposting it. It's a little different from the one I wrote a few weeks ago. Not by a lot, but it makes me laugh to see the different slants. At least I no longer have the terrible nightmares.
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. <o:p></o:p>

I love it when you post things like this.
I can't justify skydiving either!

I dated a guy ten years younger than me . . . and he was great looking, but I finally figured out that he was OUT of control and was expecting ME to get him UNDER control. Not my job! Raised a family already!
I saw a snowbow while I lived out in the country in Nebraska . . . there had been violent thunder/lightning . . . then snow? . . .then snowbow . . . we left the state shortly after that. People look at me like I've grown a second head when I mention that experience. (Maybe because we live in AZ.)
I don't have a major skill NOR do I have a master's degree. Imagine how I feel!
There are plenty of guys who'd LOVE to talk GASKETS with you!
just got to your journal via Debbies journal. I have many socks too....with holes!LOL I think I may have to try this 25 things about me thingy or maybe 25 reasons not to do one....that would be easier for me! hehhe
