He is related to me also! My maternal grandmother's family came from NC.

Neat! Ulysses Grant was my distant cousin.

You are a wonderful person, and teachers like YOU make a difference!

THank you! Most people think I'm nuts for giving kids my info, they all know where I live to. And do you know I NEVER have to clean my own yard? And those that aren't allowed to have pets come over and give mine extra love??
You just brought tears to me eyes.

My husband does the same thing! And most of them know where we live too. He has a great bunch of kids in his hovercraft program and they call him whenever they find any materials that could be useful in building the crafts. They scrounge a lot of stuff!

I'm so boring, especially after reading from everyone else!

I am 26
Married for 7 years
Have two boys, 6.5 and 4
I have 6 Red Ear Sliders All inside the home, 120 gallon tank in the living room, 55 gallon in my daycare room (I run an in home daycare)

I recently went from having LONG hair to barely any hair; personal choice.

I was 1st chair Flute through out middle and high school, now I suck horribly!

We have owned our own home for 5 years. (Better than most I suppose at this age)

I have gotten a ticket while boating before

I'm thinking here...something that would suprise you...

hmm.....I'm very very very sarcastic in person, and LOVE George Carlin, I'm very outspoken and to the point, so it's hard to find anything supriseing about me.


I knit and crochet and sew and make hairbows. I have boys, but always sew and make girl things. Not sure why!

I turned 43 the day after Christmas. I have a 12 yr. old son. His father was the love of my life, but he loved drugs more and committed suicide a few years ago. We had been broken up for several years.
I am quiet and shy when I'm around people I don't know.
I could spend days at a time at home without going anywhere, but I don't have any problems with going out or crowds. I just like to stay home.
I am afraid of heights.
I have more animals than I have time for and I want more. I would love to have a giraffe.
After 11 years of struggling, I have finally lost the family business that my father left to me.
My mother died when I was 16.
I love the ocean and plan on living by it some day.
I've been to Baja 8 times as a child. I've been to Cancun once.
I absolutely love going to the movies.
I love to read.
I get very irritated at disrespectful people and people with no common sense.
Chocolate should be a major food group.
I spend way too much time on the computer when I have lots to do.( Like right now- I'm supposed to be packing because I have 2 weeks left before I have to move and I haven't even started yet.)
I love going to pet stores.
I have 5 freshwater fish tanks. And 7 Bettas.
I also freeze my departed pets. I kept a baby goat in the outside freezer until I could bury him.
The only animals I will kill willingly are rattlesnakes, Black Widow spiders and wild mice.

I think that's enough for now.
Elizabeth

Lost my youngest of three sons in 2002 in a drowning accident. I've been there and I know how it feels. Sorry for your loss.

We sound a lot alike!

It was weird to be that young and paying a mortgage, but I'm 29 and we're on our second house already. It feels good to get that out of the way young, doesn't it?

I'm also sarcastic and outspoken. I have an opinion about everything but age has taught me to (pretty much) keep my mouth shut. That doesn't mean I DO keep my mouth shut, but I don't open it as much as I used it. I'm also to the point and I don't take or give BS. It's a waste of everyone's time. I don't like fake people. I'm always myself. I will bend just enough to not break, but not more.
I will also do or say things that would embarrass a trucker, but I've toned that down since I've been on "Mommy Mode"!

I am very outspoken and I say what on my mind to anybody. I was shocked I did not get fired for what I said to the manager. I quit a week after telling him off. He did something that was very rude and I cant say whats on my mind and what I told my mom cause I know I will get banned lol

I gave in to peer pressure once and lit up a cancer stick. Never doing it again. Ever. It was the stupidest thing I've ever done.



I love all animals but my passion lies with the horse.

I've rescued & rehabilitated two neglected horses in the past two years.


I was sexually harassed by a guy I was acquainted with February of last year. I've only told two people. He's out of my life and I've worked through it, with Gods help.


I was vegan for two years. The only animals I eat now are my own.

I'm addicted to BYC (Oh wait. This is supposed to be a bunch of secrets, right?

).


I believe in "courting" instead of "dating".


Most teenagers these days get on my nerves. I stress "most".


I could keep going. But I think that's enough for now, don't you?
