:DIn Honor of finding out our own Sister Cathy is so talented...I thought it would be interesting to post this thread.

So we can get to know everyone better....how about we post one thing about yourself....one thing in a post then wait till someone else posts one before posting again. If MamaM is ok with that...

One thing about myself hmm.... I am completely OCD about small rooms. When we were house hunting, if my elbows hit any doorways or walls in a room, I refused to continue. I like having a lot of space. As cute as many of the old houses are in my area, the idea of bumping my head by going up the stairs too fast makes them obsolete in my opinion. My wife on the other hand loves those old Victorians, etc..

Golly, I'm pretty upfront and open about thangs... don't know if I can even think of anything worth mentioning- I'm pretty much what-you-see is what-you-get! Wish I had a DOOZIE-SECRET to share!

Okay- I had to go waaaayyyy back...

When I was four I killed my neighbor's cat. Now- before you get all hostile on me- it was an accident. I was playing with the l'il critter and without having a clue, I closed it inside a Coleman Cooler and flipped the lock-switch. Daddy found it next day and took me with him when he went to tell neighbor Gabby, what had happened. Know what she said? She told my Dad- "I want you to spank that boy- and I want to watch." Dad did as she demanded- heck he would have likely spanked me anyway after we got back home. But I thought that was kinda a weird thing, looking back on it now... like her witnessing my beating was gonna make her kitty come back or something! Needless to say, I thought smelly ole Gabby was a total witch after that! But I'm sure she didn't waste no soft feelings on me either... I can just hear her hissin' "Cat Killer!" all crabby and hunched-over, everytime she looked out her window and saw me playin'! Ha! Poor ole Gabby... I bet she's up in heaven now with her beloved kitty chantin' hexes on me and stickin' pins in a fat voo-doo doll w/ my name on it!

The only thing I can think of about me that unusual is I never dated anyone til I met Jon. I was 28 years old and had never so much as had a boyfriend. I stayed at home and helped look after my sick Dad and pretty much raised my little sister from the time I was 12. My older Sis was grooming dogs for people and Jon and I met when he brought his guide dog to get groomed. Dog set me up..he was looking to retire lol.

Oh Gee Kevin ! I can just picture Ms Gabby giving you the Evil eye ! poor baby !
And Kevin my son killed a Kitty when he was 4 yrs old too. He was playing with a hammer.I wasn't at home when it happened. But he popped the kitty on the head with that hammer and no more kitty! LOL...darlin didn't realize what he had done ...he cried so hard when he told me that kitty wouldn't play with him anymore.I made sure you did not get the hammer anymore.
Jafo...I love Victorian houses too and lived in one that we redone...that was with the X and we sold it.
Thats so romantic Janie ! Good doggie !
