50 facts about me
This is a new///different kind of post for me ... I may look like that tranquil, middle-aged Catholic in the pew, but I've had an interesting life ;) This is a popular tag on Youtube (and I'm sure other social media platforms); I've posted it here, where I pour my heart-life out ..........
1. I once babysat for a family in witness protection.
2. I put ice in my coffee but don't like iced///cold coffee.
3. I'm an only child.
4. My favorite color are the purples!
5. I love giraffes, llamas, dogs AND cats, and most anything that doesn't stink or sting.
6. I've never broken a bone.
7. Or had a ride in an ambulance.
8. A cop car, however, is a different story ....
9. I prefer Dunkin Donuts over Starbucks.
10. I usually stand five foot seven and some quarters, but if I go to the chiropractor, I'm five foot nine.
11. Never liked most of the series people obsessed about - from Star Wars, to G.O.T. & Potter.
12. Love NCIS: Los Angeles but not anything else in the NCIS series.
13. Have loved paper catalogs since I was a small child.
14. Had an adult library card in 3d grade.
15. I've lost enough weight now that my shoe size is now a 9 - still wide-width, tho.
16. My music taste is eclectic: from Celtic Woman, to country, to jazz, to praise & worship .... pretty much anything but rap or opera.
17. I've lived in 5 states.
18. One of them, I've lived in at two separate times.
19. I have to know the plotline of a program before I watch it.
20. I don't like watermelon, but I do like other melons!

23. Or piercings that work.
24. My favorite drink is COFFEE!
25. I've gotten more conservative as I've gotten older (with some 'sacred cow' exceptions).
26. My actual maturity with all of that started with reading Tom Clancey.
27. Reading him was completely accidental. Was trying to help a woman out who was desperate to sell at a yard sale that the newspaper had forgotten to advertise and a book called "Rainbow Six" was the only thing I was even slightly interested in.
28. My usual/favorite genres are non-fiction and recommended fiction.
29. I love Youtube videos.

33. I presently don't carry a phone: I actually have a landline.
34. I'm a recovering alcoholic.
35. I've had insomnia since I was 8 (or let's say a disordered sleeping pattern).
36. I love foods that don't love me back - especially in the dairy family.
37. I've had digestive problems since I was a teenager.
38. I'm disabled.
39. I've been a true crime fan since a Southern woman got me accidentally hooked on the genre when I was a kid.
40. I used to watch Kathryn Kuhlman, Rex Humbard, & others on tv when I was young.
41. My favorite childhood cartoon is the original Scooby-Do.
42. I didn't like sitcoms - or rides - even when I was a kid.
43. My younger years Saturdays included Sha Na Na, Creature Features, Thriller Theater, and the Vigil Mass with my parents.
44. I got my first pair of glasses in 2d grade. and yes incredibly my vision did change after 40!
45. I've never worn contact lenses.
46. Tampons & I were never friends, either.
47. I love midcentury & earlier; perhaps that started with having older parents.
48. I love where I'm living now but my dream is to live out my life by the ocean!
49. I once waited tables for about a month and was only let-go b/c the big boss came back & he hadn't approved the under-manager to hire anyone ... even tho the help was needed! Ask me about the chicken noodle soup story, and the guy I knocked out cold <a fellow server>
50. Shallow theology makes me cringe as much as people assuming I'm stupood b/c I'm poor.
*51 bonus* I'm carrying 12 dead people on my Facebook roster. I don't know if this is because there password is a secret ingredient, or because people think it's overwhelmingly sweet when a deceased person pops-up on your birthday notification and everyone gets to type "Happy Birthday in Heaven". As deeply as I mourn - please, PLEASE take me down when I'm gone!
