RE: 10 Things about you that we Catheites may or may no...

1. I dated my husband for 13 years before we married.

4. I'm a land use / zoning lawyer but prefer my full time mothering job.

7. Between my husband and I (both in our 40's) we have 19 sets of aunts and uncles all still living but for one uncle.
8. I think obesity, type II diabetes and their ramifications present a HUGE problem for our economy that must be addressed!
9. I love it hot and humid in the summer so I can sweat like a pig outside (do pigs sweat?)

6. I was hit from behind by a car while walking my bicycle on the shoulder of the road. I only got bruises from that, but I was literally knocked out of my sneaker.
7. I want to learn how to fence and I'd like to sky-dive on my 40th birthday.

RE: 10 Things about you that we Catheites may or may no...

Oooh, this is so interesting! I read every post!

Here is mine...

1. I am 37, divorced with two boys aged 13 and 6.

2. I am profoundly deaf but can hear reasonably well with a hearing aid, when I am looking at you and you actually open your mouth while speaking. :) We are just learning how to sign.

3. Most people think my "accent" indicates I am either from Brooklyn or France. I am sure the French are happy to know they sound like they are from Brooklyn! Hehehe. :eek:

4. I have a master's degree in Instructional Technology and finished first in my class. Eh-hem. I am a little competitive. ;-)

5. I have not had a drink since November 13, 2002. (The day Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence.)

6. Like Luna, I am TERRIFIED of sharks! I am convinced I was eaten by one in a previous life. When we are at the beach, I spend the entire time scanning the horizon....

7. I am an ENTJ and have that small problem of always ending up in charge of everything.

8. My 3 brothers, 1 sister, 2 sons, 3 nephews, 2 nieces and I all have the same lips, eyes, and facial shape. You can pick us out of a crowd.

9. I used to write creatively before I got paid to write technically. My secret goal is to be a successful novelist and leave Corporate America forever.

10. I am an avid reader and am trying to read 52 books in 52 weeks.

Edited to add....I LOVE John Denver and Neil Diamond! lol

Cheers,
Marie

When I lived in Chicago it was the fun girls day out to get tickets to Oprah. She is the home town girl there and we all love her because she IS Chicago. I went with my gal pals to a show that was about estranged families (who has seen that one a hundred times). The family was reported not to have spoken in 16 years or something and they gave away during the last 5 minutes of the taping that they had reconciled only a week before. Needless to say, the show was a bomb! Sally the famous stage manager asked people in the audience if they would like to come back and tape another show the next Monday to make up for it. She also asked us if we had some extra time and if we could stay late - who doesn't have extra time to hang with Oprah. The show that they were filming was on "white lies" and social lies and how much more women are believed than men. I had to tell a story and a guy had to tell a story, and then we both told the other person's story on tape. My tape was the one chosen for the show. We had to keep a journal for the weekend on how many times we lied and bring it. Oprah brought the guy and I down to the mic when she played my tape. The audience voted that the guy was lying and I wasn't. I was lying, but much more believable.
She was very nice to us and gave us Oprah t-shirts during the taping and we were treated like rock stars.
I always have a soft spot for her and even though I don't live in Chi town anymore, she's still my girl.

My friend also used moonlight as the weekend super in her building and he has been in her huge condo - he says that it is unbelievable.

1. I've never married and have no kids, but I have a neice and nephew that I love to death.

Hey Renee

I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist also! I taught RT in upstate NY in the late 80's. I haven't worked in the field since my 3rd child was born in 1991. I'm sure ventilators are much different now, LOL!

PS My former forum name was Likes2bfit and I replied to this post with that name last year.
