Little known facts about you

[Aenon]

Tell us something about yourself that is not commonly known on these threads...like, a friend of mine told me that her favorite day is Wednesday because it's garbage day and she loves to clean out her pantry every Wednesday. I thought that odd.

Mine would be I love White so much that I would have all White clothes, house, bedding, etc. I would have everything White!

You get the idea.

oh my gosh....we're related....Daniel Boone is my great great great great great great Uncle......wow....how amazing...

[baker12]

oh my gosh....we're related....Daniel Boone is my great great great great great great Uncle......wow....how amazing...

There is a possibility that my 5th great grandfather knew your 6th great Uncle. My first ancestor in the American Colonies was John Baker. He and his wife had 11 children. My 4th great grandfather, Jacob Baker, was born at Redstone Old Fort in PA in 1775. John later fought in the Revolutionary War, and during that war he received the rank of Captain. After the war, Captain John Baker built a fort near present day Wheeling WV known as Baker's Station and later Baker's Fort. He was killed while fighting in the Indian Wars in 1787. I know that Simon Kenton was at Redstone Old Fort during the time when my Jacob Baker was born. I also know that Simon Kenton and Daniel Boone knew each other very well. It's highly likely that our ancestors knew each other.

[Hawkeye Childs]

In 1990 my father and I went to China on business. Our travels took us waaaayyyyyy out of the normal "tourist areas". We were taken to a villiage(s)/town(s) way out in the middle of nowhere.

We stopped in one town for a little bit (I forget why). There was a pretty good sized crowd outside of our vehicle (a small passenger bus). My father told me to get off the bus and stand outside.

I stand 6'4" tall, so I'm already taller than the average here in America. Imagine what it's like in a country like China where somebody as tall as I am is the exception, not the rule. I had a crowd of people around me.

I found out later on that I was the first white man/Westerner that this villiage had ever seen in the flesh. I noticed that they had a Kodak add in a store window with a western/Eruo/white woman on it, but I was the first they were ever actually able to reach out and touch.

I was named after a guy who died in an accidental shooting. The day before, when informed that my mom (his friend) was pregnant, he jokingly suggested that she name the kid after him.

When my sister was born, our grandfather Fred had just died, so she was named after him. Freddie.

[dkd]

lesseee... My dad received his highschool diploma in his mid-30s - he was a believer in education... hence, I was the first person in my entire family heritage to get a bachelor's degree - I put myself through college and graduated cum laude - now 2 of my brothers have their master's and one brother is almost done with his doctorate -

Couple that with the fact it took me 3 weeks to figure out how to use a lottery scratch ticket that I received as a Christmas gift. This all happened by accident when I dropped a sharp object on the ticket, that consequentially scratched the ticket... (I didn't win).

oh - read the "Airborne Warning" that I wrote for more of my famous applied intelligence :o)

And......I like stuff that's bad for you, like chocolate chip cookie dough, ice cream, and Mountain Dew!!!! Gotta have the Mountain Dew!!!!! (It's a citrus drink, right?) ;)

When I was 6 years old, I sat on the back of Seaworld's famous whale, Shamu while my Mom was 9 months pregnant with my little sis.

[Trillamum]

That's really cool about Shamu.

I've ridden an elephant, a dog, a hippo, and stood on a crocodile (I wouldn't recommend that last one) and or course horses.


The elephant was when I was six weeks old. First time my parents took me to church, they saw a guy on the side of the road when they were on their way home and he had an elephant. They stopped and my dad paid the guy like two dollars to let him ride the elephant with me.
The hippo was at a little podunk circus in Belize, my sister and I both rode, and 'twas fun. My other sister though has never forgiven us cause we volunteered without asking permission from my dad and she stopped to ask and didn't get to go.

[sherri]

Hmmmm.

Well my grandfather was in the navy, his father worked for the maritime services board, his father was a sea captain, his father was a sea captain, his father was a sea captain and his father was a sea captain. I don't know how far it goes back before that. Together they charted the waters around sth australia when adelaide was first settled and were kind of a well known maritime family. There's a town down there named after them. (And my grandfathers uncle (born last century) was also a sea captain, who only died a couple of years ago.

In case you were wondering - I always wanted to be a marine biologist :p but I wasn't good enough at science.

A Day to remember...

Dec. 6th 1973 My Older Brother Cut the Tip of My Middle Finger on my Right Hand off. I was 7months old and my Mom says all I did was laugh as the blood was squirting everywhere.

Dec. 6th, 1992 I gave my life to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Haven't been the same since.

Dec. 6th, 1993 I was FORCED into a Head On collision that should have ended my life...

...and I was afraid of Dec. 6th for a few years after that taking the day off from work and staying home...not anymore

I was into Championship Truck Pulling for 7 years. I won the East Coast points series in 1997 beating out 20 of the best trucks in the East.

My truck was a Modified 4wd Chevy S-10 with a 1200 HP, 640 Cubic Inch Chevy/Pontiac Pro-stock motor on alcohol.

Here she is:

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c97/scooterl/hogatangle.jpg

I changed the name in '98 to Delicate Sound Of Thunder....named after the Pink Floyd album.... :)

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c97/scooterl/hogside.jpg

Sold the truck in 2001 after my divorce.....needed to regroup and concentrate on my writing career.

However, I am headed back to the sport I love. I'm going to build one of these Unlimited Modified Tractors.....

Tractor carries one Curtiss Wright 3350 Radial aircraft engine, 3350 Cubic Inches, 18 cylinders, 9000 Ft-lbs of torque. There is only 120 of these engines left in the world-taken out of service in the 50's but still used in forest fire planes.... I know where they are.... :D

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c97/scooterl/RoudeLeiw.jpg

9000 lbs of Torque, she'll run with 4 Supercharged Chevy's or Hemi's anyday...

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c97/scooterl/P1010028roudeleiw.jpg

The building process set to begin the fall of this year....its going to be called Aces High. Named after all the fallen ACES who gave their life for aviation or our various wars. Plus the Iron Maiden song..... :D

I read magazines backwards and I am a direct descendent of peasants in France and Italy (for all you Daniel Boone relatives ;) ).

yay yay! ;) that would be ME! :)


umm...i can do both right and left splits, i can SING in pig latin...i know real Latin, i can memorize things very well, i can charm dogs (and squirrels lol), i have flat feet, i collect stamps & coins, i started college at 13, my mind is often going way too fast for my words to come out or my hands to type, i make hospital corners when making my bed, i eat M&M's my color and number, i sort my crayons and map pencils by color shades, i alphabetize my CD's, all this ocd organization...and my room is ALWAYS a wreck...explain that! haha. I'm just weird about some things like that...like letters and color. I love writing character sketches, and i am exceptional at poker ;)

[hoonah*]

my mind is often going way too fast for my words to come out or my hands to type

I am exactly the same way. I read and think really fast and I cannot read aloud to others, because I always get toungue twisted as a result of my mind processing the words to fast for me to say them.

Oh, yeah...I tried to read "A Bargain for Frances" to my sisters the other night and...well...I made it through...after about 10 mistakes. I read the new Artemis Fowl book that I got for Christmas in, like, a couple of hours, and Mom was like "Alex, how do you even comprehend what you read?" and I told her "I could tell you everything that happened in that book from beginning to end." I love to speed read!

"Domine o Venite o Sacramentum eo deo"

[Aaron]

in piglatin you take any the first letter of a word and put it at the end with an a after that.

one of the best phrases that always cracked me up.... "Cave Canum"...i love it ;) i put it on our dog pen one day..it rocks...i'm such a nerd lol

[hoonah*]

one of the best phrases that always cracked me up.... "Cave Canum"...i love it i put it on our dog pen one day..it rocks...i'm such a nerd lol

Ahahahahahaha....that is funny...because, when I was studying the Roman empire, I read that there were mosaics on the floors of villa's that said "Cave Canum," but it was probably not intended to mean "Beware of the dog...he is trained to attack," but, "the dog is laying on the floor and he is not going to move when you walk in, so don't trip over him."

Yeah! Nerds rule! And you must be, to have started college at age 13! That is cool! I am a nerd, too...all of my friends even tell me that(in a nice way...not making fun of me). I take it as a compliment!

[Hawkeye Childs]

yes indeed! it's fun. i'm a foutain of useless information...but hey...i can win at trivia stuff haha. *high five* you rock!

Little known fact? Um.... I love to play those old, dorky games that are on my old computer. My old computer is Windows 95, and we can't do anything except play the games that came with it, but aren't put on computers anymore. Anyone ever play Rattler Race, Rodents Revenge, or Life Genesis?

No, not visiting, let's invade!!!! All of us nonCARATs who are insanely jealous of this forum should invade, and make no bones about it. Let's hold it captive, commenting on every thread until the mods give us our own forum.

Muahahahahahaha!!! *Holds mouse high, charges, trips and falls flat on face, climbs back up to her feet, gathers her objectives back together* Now...where was I? Oh yes! Charge!

Someone said that there was a forum for teenagers...but they argued too much, so they took it down.

Yay for drama queens!!! If we had our own forum, we could keep it contained over there. *hinthint*

Yes, CHARGE!!!!!!!! Onward, dear friends, for all that is good and sacred, follow me!!!!!!!!!

Arguing is underrated. But, anyway, we're more mature now. We wouldn't argue!!! No. *uses most innocent tone of voice* We'd just talk about school, and friends, and all that wonderful stuff only we do. Plus, I have a really great idea for a thread, but I'm not going to post it unless we get our own subforum. Nyah!!!!

Another fact: At the moment, I have a love affair with retro themed decor going.

I used to have a great uncle was friends with a old time "bad guy" wrestler when he was younger. The man's "character" was from the Middle East, but he's really from OK and my great uncle knew him.

[Jaymze13]

lets see how many people who read this thread are truly over 30 and live or have lived in the Fort Worth area

Way back when "Saturday Night Wrestling" was on Monday at the old Northside Coliseium in "Cowtown", Fort Worth, one of the "bad guys" got a little mouthy one night and challenged anybody in the audience to take him on in an arm wrestling match in the ring.

My father answered the challenge.

The last words my grandmother spoke to him before he got in the ring was "don't hurt him too much Charley".

The guy got mad because my father was beating him, jumped up from the table and left the ring. I guess since the match was never finished, nobody really won. I'm sure my father had his 15 minutes that night in the ring.

I've been to The Great Wall and got to spend at least half an hour walking it.

I have two middle names. Each name comes from each grandfathers first name.

I've given serious consideration to going by another name. I could go by "Luther" or "Luke" if I wanted. How many people respond these days when you holler out "Hey Luther!!"

How would you like a mod named Gustave or Zenith?

[Jaymze13]

James Bailey was one grandfathers name, but he went by Jake. I can't stand being called Jim, but I wouldn't mind being called Jake. He also went by JB. I can't do that because the "L" in my middle name comes between the "J" and the "B".

An old Free Will Baptist pastor, the first pastor I ever knew, either had a hard time with my name, or just chose to not call me by my first name. He called me by my the first 3 of my 4 initials. J-L-B.

There's another "little know fact" about me. 3 of my 4 initials actually make up one of the names I respond too.

I am named after my two Opa's (Grandfather's). Mar is from Marten and Jan is from Jan. My name is Marjan, I really like my name now, as I was growing up I didn't like my name because my name would be pronounced wrong. I have a very special name. I was born in Harderwijk, Holland. I am 34 years old and I am single. My dream is to record a worship cd. My dream duet is with Mac Powell because I think that he has the nicest voice in the world. I have written wrods for eleven songs. Please pray for me because I am looking for another job. I also need prayer for God's direction for my life. Thank you, I hope I will meet some of you one day. I have met some of you at the Great Gomer Gathering in Nashville on April 1st (one of the best days of my life). Love Marjan VandenBrink:D

I've been late night board cruising again. I always find cool old threads, like this one. :cool:


I was on the front page of the paper on the first day of school when I started Kindergarten.

My mom, brother, and I just happened to walk through the door when the photographer was taking a picture. My school was opening for the first time, so it was a big deal. That's why it was on the front page. A brand new student, in a brand new school.

With that being said, I have no desire at all to be in the media. Newspaper, magazine, television, anything. I'm just not interested.

I will try to explain this as clearly as possible, but if you get confused please let me know. It makes sense to me, but I'm sure it won't to you. :p

When I chew, I divide my food up equally on both sides of my mouth. If I don't chew the same amount of food on both sides of my mouth, it drives me crazy. I will give you some examples:

1.)When I eat french fries, I try get two fries that are the same size and I will put one on each side of my mouth and chew it. If I can't find any fries that are the same size, I will bite off the extra length of the longer one, divide that extra piece in two equal parts, chew it, then I will chew my two fries, that are now the same size, one on each side of my mouth.

2.)When I eat something in pieces, like Cheerios, I will chew an equal number of Cheerio pieces on each side of my mouth. It's easy when I have a even number, like 6. I'll just divide it into two parts with three pieces each, and then I'm good. If I have an odd number, then I keep track of which side has chewed the extra piece, and I'll try to balance it out in my next bite.

As long as it's all even, then I'm good. If it's not, then it bugs the fire outta' me. I have problems, I know.;) :p I've got more quirky stuff I can tell you about, but I think this is enough to process for now. I'll let your brains chew on this a while (haha, chew. Little joke.:p ), and then I'll come back later and post more insanity. :p

[ExtravagantlyLoved]

Okay another quirk. This one has to do with dividing as well.

I divide letters into equal groups in my head. Like whenever I read something or somebody says something, I divide all the letters in the words into equal groups. For instance, if there are 12 letters, I will divide it into 2 groups of 6, 6 groups of 2, 3 groups of 4, and so forth. I think you get the picture. If the letters can't be divided equally at all, then I will divide them into two groups, one group having one extra letter.

When I first started doing it, about 6 years ago, it really bothered me. It's mostly subconscious, and when it first started happening, it was so bad that it would distract me, and I couldn't think. But I couldn't turn it off either, so there was nothing I could do about it. It's gotten better, now. I don't do it as much, and I have better control over it, so it doesn't distract me.

I mentioned this in the Loon thread, and I thought I would put it here.

I have uber-sensitive eyes. Just somebody mentioning tears or anything of that nature, sets my eyes to burning and watering. It's happening while I'm typing this.

What's really bad is when a commercial for eye drops comes on. Not only do I hear them talking about it, but I've got the visuals, too. The worst is if I ever watch someone putting contacts on. I was watching my mom once, and it literally looked like I was crying, because my eyes were watering so much.

Okay, I need to quit talking about this. Time to think about something else. :rolleyes: :p

Also, I let another xray student pierce my ears. Talk about pain. I learned not to do that again.

I have a "thing" where I have to brush my teeth before I go on stage to sing ..... I absolutely must otherwise I get so distracted. Even if I just brushed them an hour ago :rolleyes:

[Andi]

:p I have a "thing" (lol) about wood spoons....If I hold one in my hand I get chills down my spine....same thing with dirt.

I believe the perfect amount of toilet paper is 8 sheets, because it folds evenly. 8 folded in half becomes 4, 4 in half is 2, and 2 in half is 1. So, when I'm done folding I have this nice little square. If you get anymore it doesn't fold evenly, which bugs the fire outta me. Unless you go up to 16 sheets, but that's just way too much. ;)


Boy, I love this thread. I get to show you guys just how strange I am. ;) :cool:

Me three. I smell things too. My absolute favorite smell is the smell of books. Sticking my nose in a book and taking a deep breath is euphoric. Especially old ones.

Here's another eating quirk...

If you don't know, or even if you do, bananas naturally divide into 3 pieces, like three little triangles in a pie chart. So, when I eat bananas, I take a bite off, and then gently apply pressure to the piece of banana with my tongue, and the three pieces separate. Then I chew.

[SueQ]

Another thing we have in common.....I keep huge bottles of it in my classroom......Wish it came in a Cotton Blossom scent.......

[Evanescence]

I HATE having emails ignored, when i know they have been read !!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, I have a fond fascination with ladies shoes and pretty ladies feet. Insert joke here...:D

I thought I was the only strange person to do that.......sometimes I separate them before I eat them....I just always thought it was neat that God made them that way.....

I love the smell of books too, but not old ones, or at least not the ones I've recently pulled out of my attic - some dated from the 1870s! :eek: They smell "different", but I won't stick my nose in 'em - too dusty and have bug bomb residue on 'em... (Eeeeewwwwww!)

[Bonnie_Ty]
