These are awesome, there's not one person that I couldn't be very good friends with.. I have a lot in common with all of you!

We had a 2001 Road King Classic Harley - went on some awesome trips to Yosemite and all over Calfornia - that was one of the casualties of moving to OKC and taking the 'ideal job' that turned out to be not ideal. I feel so badly for my husband because it was his baby and he had it customized just for him... we sold it a year after moving here because he never rode it ( working 12 hours a day didn't leave much time and it was sitting in the garage). Not to mention, I worried endlessly about leaving our kids orphans..

Anyway, sorry to get off subject but your posts reminded me of our metallic 'baby'.

I hope everyone does this - it is a great way to get to know people... come on....

Well Karrie, my life may not be that exciting, and these may not be the 50 best things about me but it took alot for me to even think of these...LOL

26. If red wine is good for your heart, I should be taken care of until I'm 70 or so.

This cracked me up. :LolLolLol
:cheersmf:

I've seen some people crank that list all the way to 100.

Not me, though:

I hate to throw things away too. Especially furniture or anything that is made of wood. I always think I can make something of it one day all though I've never made anything before. Hopefully HGTV will teach me a few things!

Ok, okcgoddess, you asked for it. Since I had no "template" to work with, I just brainstormed some of the unusual and silly factoids about me.

Here we go:

Interesting SweetDaisy! We are opposites on alot of issue's. But I do love cinnamon. Do you just not like movie theatre's in Oklahoma? And why on earth would you want to watch the needle go in. I hate needles and I am the biggest baby ever when I have to get an IV. I have to turn my head and try my hardest not to tense up. I think that was the worst part of both of my child births.
