7 secrets?

May 15, 2007 08:20

There's a meme going around the Everyday Matters group and though I normally don't have time, it's early, I'm just waking up, and I got tagged. So I'll give it a try! (Maybe I need more coffee first though--I'm a pretty open person--embarrassingly so, sometimes!--and I don't know that I HAVE seven secrets!) (Heh. Turns out I did. You get on a ( Read more... )

silliness, meme, spiders

Kicking a door was how i learned very early about inanimate objects and how unsatisfying they can be..Some people never learn that ( ... )

I cleaned commercial buildings--a bank and the local phone company's two buildings. Occasionally a bit grim.*rg*

She had rheumatoid arthritis, then was in a wheelchair, having lost a leg to diabetes. Pretty brave lady, though...

And OH yeah, I watch videos and DVDs, when I'm wiped out or sick or when I have mindless handwork to do. Just not regular TV--no game shows, reality (!?!?) TV, sitcoms, laugh tracks, commercials, and NO NEWS. I get my news in other ways...

Thank God for email and phone, eh? Even though your friends are far away, you can still BE friends.

And you're right, my Irish comes from my maternal grandfather, and he virtually never raised his voice! He was a saint, in the best sense of the word--everyone loved him. (Grandma was the feisty one!)

It may be a silly game, but it's interesting to learn about everyone. 8 is incredibly young to have been put in that position. I know you're not complaining but it must have been rough. I have an Irish temper too, but I get over things quickly - maybe that's what an Irish temper is?

I grew up pretty fast, that's true--maybe I'm having my childhood NOW! *G*

Define quickly.*G* It can take me anywhere from almost instantly to a week--I HATE those. Those are usually when it's justified but there's not a darn thing I can do about it...

Oh my, Cathy! I, too, have a temper. The Irish side of me, I guess. I do the same thing you do with writing it adn then deleting. Or if it's really bad, printing it out adn then burning it. Wow, and here I thought I was the only one who did that. lol! I was always made to feel guilty about my bad temper, but sometimes it's justified and sometimes not. So, there it is. Thanks for sharing a part of yourself with us! Glad to know you a little better. --Sherie

Yep, it certainly CAN be justified! But I always feel like you've lost the edge if you lose control--credibility is right out the window.

And no, that's sort of a sacramental way to deal with anger--it's good!

Kate, you are truly an inspiration! My Mum suffers Rheumatoid Arthritis but only in her later years so it hasn't debilitated her too much, thankfully ( ... )

I think they have better ways of dealing with rheumatoid than they did 40 years ago, too. I know several people who have it, now, and aren't at all crippled up. One tells a harrowing story of the onset, it was incredibly debilitating, but she got treatment, exercised, and looks FINE now. Hardly any pain, either...amazing.

For some reason last year I had an influx of GIGANTIC wolf spiders in my bathtub. I got good at catching them and putting them outside (it was probably the same one and it just kept coming back.*G*)

I'm glad you enjoy visiting, thank you for the kind words, Serena!
