getting to know you..... Give me ONE ........

[Kätzchen]

I love to receive gifts, I perform acts of service (cooking meals, keeping the house tidy and clean, washing and drying and putting away laundry....etc), I love to spend quality time together and crave physical touch. I like hearing affirmations because it's good feedback, but I take care of myself and the one I love by providing affirmative value in quiet valuable ways.

I don't like it when people just walk up and hug me, especially if I don't know them well. I do this thing where I grab their hands and squeeze them before they can grab me - I used to just suffer through it.

I have a phobia of Rhino Beetles or beetles of any kind really lol

Me neither....in fact only people I`m really close to get a hug. Not that I`m not a smiley, warm, caring soul straight off meeting me, I am, I`m just guarded about my personal space....that maybe a new flaw I`ve discovered in myself !

When my children were younger there was a `Mom`pal that would throw her arms around you if you happened to be passing by the school gate at the same time, like a long lost friend. I used to see her twice a day, 5 days a week One time when she was particularly enthusiastic pulling me to her I couldnt help but say "Gosh its been so long since I`ve seen you, at least 6 hours" I`m pretty sure it went straight over her head.

1974 was a fun time . What did you do in that organization? Any park work or environmental work?

I was kicked out of a home for unwed mothers as a teenager for looking at the other girls too hard. They were looking at me "hard" too, but I didn't complain.

There were 16 of us from all over the state of Kansas. Our main objective was at 3 state lakes. We built shelters, cleared trails and beaches as well as maintenance of the dams (at that time these lakes were man-made specifically for irrigation of crops).

We conducted wildlife counts on the kangaroo rat, the golden eagle and the intrusion of evasive fish. Reestablished the trout and large mouth bass at the local fishery. We were paid a stipend of $30 a week, lived in the university dorm, wore khaki shirts with jeans and boots all military and required hard hats. We also earned 6 hours of college credit.

Sorry for the long answer-thanks for asking.

Georgia, I have nearly the same identical problem....so I totally hear you.

I have issues with people touching me as if they know me, when they don't really know me at all. I only accept touch from people who I know and appreciate greatly.

I don't like people who randomly assume that it's okay to touch me ..... in friendly or not so friendly ways.

[girl_dee]

i tend to believe/trust people even when i know better.....

Whenever I check out at a store, I like to have the odd change to go with the bills so I won't get any additional back!

I had a customer once who would only write a check for an even amount, then give me any odd amount in coins, maybe that rubbed off on me, I dunno! She claimed it was much easier to balance her checkbook!

[Kätzchen]

I am an intensely shy woman.....

I only open up under the right conditions......

I love getting change back and sometimes I'll use dollars when I have enough change. I collect the change in one of my favorite jars and spend it during the holiday season. I usually save between $70.00 and $120.00 each year.

I've always been curious about the language of gifts! Do you mean like diamonds, furs, and fancy cars? .....

Not Katz, but.....for me.....love notes in the lunch or under the pillow, a pair of earrings that made Him think of me, flowers from the garden, a handmade card, a dime store trinket or a ticket to a movie I really wanted to see. Gifts.....for me....aren't weighed in commercial value but for the thought and sentiment put into them. Small pebbles can create big ripples.
