I'm a boring person. I'm not even interested in playing such games or knowing such information about people. It like none of my business....or, like I said, I'm just a boring person. But tell me something wonderful about yourself and family and I'm there with all ears and smiling!

This seems to have become popular in the last 3 years or so. I do not enjoy it and have never been able to think fast enough to make up answers. The only benefit I ever saw was when a young woman told us she had lost 24 pounds. She has always been reticent And to my eye was attractive, so this was eye-opening. I never thought that there was anything in my life they did not know.

Secret from early work days: Was a leg model for a very brief time. I modeled for a tire company, and my legs were painted gold, wore gold high heels, and only shot from high thigh down. Pictures appeared in tire catalogs. Not salacious, but 99.9% of my friends/family do not know!!

Most people don't know that I wear a 13 medium women shoe and I am 5 ft 8". I hate my feet!!!! Another think about this I wore a 12 when I was 12 yrs old. And at time it was a 4A narrow. This had been a bed thing all my life.

Because we don't really 'know' each other on this site, it's fun to read about the 'secret' lives of the quilting famous. It helps to know you better. So mine is, I've had 7 pregnancies, but only 4 live births and two living daughters. These experiences led me into childbirth education, for which I became a Certified Hypnotherapist and EFT Advanced Practitioner. I retired 15 years ago; had a horrid dream about it last night.

I was the poster girl for Tokyo Disneyland when I was 18 years old. Apparently, my face was plastered all over Japan. I still have the photo-shoot proofs somewhere but never got a copy of any of the posters...though I did see them. They made me ride the teacups for one shot and I barfed.... Was not a pretty picture.

I met Agathe von Trapp of the famed von Trapp Family Singers (the eldest, the "real" Liesl). She signed a copy of her book for me. A few years later she passed away about 1/2 hour from my home here in Maryland.

guess my secret is that due to my Dad's career in construction, we moved into some weird situations--including living one summer in a TINY travel trailer (it replaced the pop-up camper that we used for 3 weeks) without a bathroom--so we had a tar paper latrine and bathed in the lake (Ivory soap floats!) and our living room (unless it rained) was a campfire circle outside our door!
