[Jeannie]

Hi ladies
I'll give it a shot.

1. I used to love to get into fights in grammar school until everyone grew and I didn't.

2. I had a dog,Nicky for 6 months in 4th grade. My Mother Jennie was allergic to animals and I came home one day and they gave him away. Bad move. I made my Mother's life miserable for the next 10 years.

3. I was in the Coast Guard Reserves. I was voted the dubious distinction in basic training as"Best Shipmate" Don't ask!

4. On Halloween I would climb up a telephone pole and throw water ballons at cars. I'm lucky I'm alive.

5. The girl I asked to my prom was voted King and Queen of the prom. Of course it was with someone else. When I asked her she said"You're kidding aren't you?"

6. I had a 68 Road Runner. Sweet! Blue with a black vinyl top,389,red line tires,positraction and a hurst 4 banger. I sold it for $2100 dollars. Somebody shoot me!

7. Me and my best friend Gary while living in Boston wandered into downtown Bean Town one saturday night and stumbled into a little Jazz club on Bolyston street. We bitched about the 5 dollar cover but paid it.
There was this skinny black guy with an attitude and horn with a mute on stage. It was Miles Davis.

8.Never date sisters. They talk. It's big trouble.


9. I got married at 34. Mini said"I think I'm pregnant!" I said"We should of danced all night." The following saturday we got married with a Justice of the Peace. Fabulous! It only cost 50 bucks and then I took out our 15 close friends to dinner. A wedding for under a grand! Such a deal!

10. I piss and moan about doing things for Mini and my kids but I really love it. So many people break up and are at each others throats forever. I'm so lucky and I know it ladies. It's so easy to be a friend and takes so much energy to be an enemy.

Love
Jeannie

PS. Don't worry girls. I'm not a drunk but love to put in pictures of me with brewskis for effect. My daughter Katie,my son John Paul and all their friends are always here and it wouldn't look good for me passed out on the floor with Petey.
All parents teach their children all of their waking hours if they know it or not. The times you talk to them about sex,drugs or whatever are minimal. They are really taught by your behavior. The good,the bad and the ugly. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

[Anita]

OK, then.

1. I never got past First Class in the Boy Scouts, but my TG girlfriend got to Eagle.

2. I had a one-speed Schwin bike, big ol' 36" tires. It had a horn and a light. I wanted a speedometer, but never got one.

3. I played the trumpet for 11 years.

4. I drove a '58 Ford panel truck in high school, a left-over from my dad's old TV business. It wasn't a magnet for girls, by any means.

5. My first girlfriend was in first grade. We held hands, and kissed at least once.

6. The cooties I got from girls in the second grade made me the CDer that I am today.

7. I have always been a night person, but middle age is making that not so attractive any more. Got to have that sleep!

8. I sleep on my back, and only on my back.

9. I had three dogs as a boy in the country. As a boy in the city, I switched to cats--four of them. I currently live in a house that has a dog upstairs, but he's not mine. He gets to hang out with me, though.

10. I miss the Midwest for two things: summer thunderstorms, and all the autumn colors in the trees.

Hi all,

My turn.

7. I can clearly hear the words "10 am sharp" but my brain translates them as "ten-ish."
8. I'm a cat person; cats have always been a part of my life--even when they weren't my own (or I wasn't theirs, depending on your point of view).
9. My favourite colour combo is red and black (this makes buying lingerie a lot easier).
10. I love walking in the rain without an umbrella.

Love,
CJ
