Tell us something about you....

View attachment 119108

USMB is a community...often in this partisan atmosphere - it can get toxic. But we exist beyond a political label.

So...who are you? What can you tell us that we might not expect, in our readiness to label?

I'll start.

I adore dogs, they've given meaning to my life as I have no children (but, no, I don't think of them AS child replacements - they are who they are). I'm involved in Australian Shepherd rescue but have a soft spot for all the herding dogs and Pitties too. Any dog. I have a real fondness for asshole dogs no one else wants.

I have cats. They rule. Need more be said?

I live in a state that is VERY red, but also full of wonderfully kind people. The sort that when you stupidly drive to fast in a snowstorm and plow into a drift will pull you out.

I love hiking and running and live in the perfect area to enjoy both.

I love horses but will never be able to afford them.

I love to read - my junk food reading of choice is mysteries and sci fi.

I"ve enjoyed conversations with liberals and conservatives both...and learned things and adjusted my assumptions.

I think our country is great.

Who are you?

Cool......I have had Australian Shepherds for 25 years
Wicked smart dog

We lost our Aussie last October



He was a wonderful, wonderful animal.

We will get another.

Tell us something about you....

I am not really a rightwinger, I am actually quite liberal

Surely not..

 

[Moonglow]

One of these things is not true about me

1. I've testified in front of Congress
2. I've lectured at a university
3. I was drafted by an NHL team
4. A future Foreign Minister of Canada once passed out on my apartment floor after a hard night of partying in college

I can see you with hockey hair.."like the drunk said, I can't help it. I'm Canadian.."

In a father/son hockey game I played in many, many years ago, the fathers had a big mason jar half-filled with whisky with a strip of masking tape taped on that said "medicine."

And this is why Canada is so awesome.

I heard that the Canuck females up there shed a lot in springtime to lose their thick winter fur.

In Oklahoma they used moonshine in baby bottles to give to the child hoping they'd be used to getting drunk daily..

[CeeCee]

I'm a grandmother to 5 grandsons, a mother of two successful children (both dentists) so are their spouses so my dental is free! Wish one of them was a plastic surgeon.
I was also a stay at home mom.

I'm a moderate Republican whatever that means...to me it means I don't like the far left or the far right.
I'm not very religious anymore but was raised Catholic and if asked...I'll say I'm Catholic.

I was married to a wonderful man who died 13 years ago...still miss him.

I've lived in Fresno since 2003 but have spent probably as much time in Pittsburgh, Chicago and it's suburbs, Merrillville, Indiana and also Budapest, Hungary for 6 years....I think those were my favorite years.

Family is the most important thing to me and we all get along but very much miss my mom who died in June.

I'm thinking of downsizing as I live in a 2,000 sq ft home with my 9 year old doxie...it's getting to be too much for me. Thinking of moving closer to daughter in Monterey.

I was born in Argentina but came to the US when I was 2. I'll be 66 in April...if I think of anything else, I'll add it later....I just woke up.

Thought of some more...

I'm a healthy eater but hate exercise but do it anyway...sometimes. Love forums, probably addicted and this is the largest and sometimes scariest forum I've ever been on...I'm on the sensitive side, but like to have fun and I'm usually just kidding around. I've been banned a few times but it's always been for flirting( takes 2 but the men were never banned) but I don't do that anymore, have lost interest.

Also don't drink, just don't like it or do drugs except for a xanax or pain med or two....sometimes.

Yeah, those kids sell weed for way too much..

 

[Pogo]

True confession -- I am a lifelong cereal killer. And I have been known to masticate late at night,

Wow. Do you speak Hungarian? And Spanish? Always enriching to have those worldly experiences.

I've lived in France, where I went to work on the wine harvest just for an adventure, and eventually ended up working as an au pair boy. Also lived in PA, SoCal briefly, northern New England and New Orleans and now Carolina. I can kinda converse in all those dialects although Appalachian is prolly the most challenging.

 

[CeeCee]

Yes, I do speak Hungarian fluently, Spanish some and used to know French since that was my major in college before I dropped out.

That's was a very long time ago, so although sometimes I'll get the gist of a sentence in French...I'm lost if I have to speak it or understand someone speaking it.

Languages were always my favorite subject..maybe because they were easy A's for me.
I was even the runner up in the spelling bee in 7th grade in Pittsburgh but now even with spell check...I make mistakes.
