5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[cara]

1) I did not go to my college graduation because my parents didn't want to go and sit out in the middle of a field under the hot, summer sun. They said nobody really remembers their college graduation and it's all just pomp and circumstance (sp?) anyway. I regret that I let their underwhelming behavior towards what I feel is a very big accomplishment influence my decision to skip out on what should've been a happy, proud, and memorable day/moment for me.

2) I am scent sensitive and if I ever buy fashion magazines, the first thing I do is rip the perfume samples out and get rid of them as fast as possible. I do this at the doctor's office, too. I resist the temptation at friend's homes.

3) I can't think of 5 things.

-♦- I'm researching domesticated Skunks thoroughly, just in case I decide to adopt one...-grins-

-♦- I'm not much of a morning person, however, a cuppa café con leche with pan soba'o con mantequilla, and I'm content...add a small slice of queso de papa or ham....maybe both, at sunrise? My day will be made.

-♦- I'm not scared of bee's...or hornets..or wasps...or blackjacks, yellow jackets, etc etc. I'm petrified of their Venom, not because I'm some "pussy", I'm just not fond of anaphylactic shock, y'know? And I don't have an epi pen, so there's that...

-♦- I love motorcycles, but, I also like being comfortable, and I can't see myself being comfortable on a chopper, cruisin' around at 55 mph, in the dead of December...or January [in the continental U.S.], so, I wouldn't mind a good Jeep or VW of my choice...seriously.

-♦- When everyone's asleep..And I can't, rather than log on, or watch t.v., I'll sit by the Ferrets penthouse, and pat my side, have the Husky grudgingly trot over, and lay by my side, while I talk to them, the husky will rest his head on my lap and the ferrets will grant me a seriously bored glance from their hammock with a tired yawn....until I flash a treat{spoiled, i tell ya}, it's 10 x better than a Shrink, though.

I like to stand on people's laps.

I would love to see my abs but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen.

I was mugged once at knifepoint by a drug-crazed dude in my car and gladly gave him my wallet. When people asked why I didn’t fight him off, I explained that it wasn’t worth $4 to get my throat slashed.

I love Chobani yogurt.

One of my life goals is to sit down with the ladies of The View.

Currently, I am eating what I call a Hulk muffin. It's huge, of course, dusted with big crystals of sugar and green. Pistachio muffins. HEB. Heavenly, I promise (unless you're allergic to pistachios and then it wouldn't be so....well, yeah, I guess you could say it would be Heavenly...if you've been good).

I tried the new Reese's minis that come in a little zip bag and are unwrapped. They are good but the bag is too small. It needs to be 4 times bigger, because...c'mon...if I want it so bad that I'm choosing the minis cuz I wouldn't have to waste time or chocolate on the wrappers, I want more than 8 ounces worth. Just sayin'.

Ebon loves me (and his life) very much. He didn't bat an eye as I filled a quarter of our grocery cart with junk last night. The remaining three quarters had all organic and/or generally healthy stuff in it. The cashier looked at me funny.

We met someone this weekend that knew quite a bit about American versus everyone else's way of producing milk and dairy products. We learned that our milk and cheeses in the US contain small amounts of puss in them. We are going to purchase organic milk and European cheeses from now on.

We learned about the cheese/milk fiasco while we were eating sushi. I don't have a weak stomach, but it did give me about a 10 second pause before I could finish my crunchy roll.

Bonus: I bought 2 packages of Mother's Macaroon cookies last night. They were on sale and I had a store coupon and so, I got them for more than half off! Happy cheap shopper dance!

My ex husband's wife and i are very close. She sat beside me at my brother's funeral, we got a lot of stares. She is somewhat butch, to me, in appearance and in actions, poor guy i hope this one isn't gay too. Bless his heart.

I have a "thing" for straight lines and i don't like circles. My dishes are square and i try and buy square or rectangle tables ect...

My two favorite shows are "House" and "TAPS" and i tape them all the time and watch them over and over and over. Recently i've added "Sister Wives" to my most fav list and love that show too.

I hate to sleep. Always been that way. I feel like i'll miss out on something and to this day i usually have to be made to go to bed or i finally just fall over from being dead tired.

I've never climbed a tree. But, it's on my bucket list as well as touching a goat and a chicken both of which i'm petrified of.

I love circled plates and think that the square ones are harder to clean, but not as hard as the octagonal ones.

I, too, feel like I'm missing something or at least the opportunity to be doing something. However, I enjoy sleep far too much now. I think it's because I slept so little as a kid (mostly because of the whole abusive household and having to keep the nasties out of my bed thing versus the didn't want to miss anything thing though).

I've climbed a tree and I've touched chickens and goats. I like goats. Their pupils are sideways and that's kinda cool. You come here. I'll take you to the small rescue zoo. They have chickens and goats and even peacocks and a random orange cat that patrols the property.

House is awesome. I missed the season finale last night though. Ebon and I were watching what amounted to the worst movie we've ever seen. Well, technically it ties with Punch Drunk Love for the worst movie ever. It's called Backwash.

No fifth since I did a bonus last time.

(((((((Gemme))))))))) regarding your childhood.

If i ever meet a goat i'll try and keep my eyes open instead of closed with fear so i can see their pupils. Didn't know that. You know....goats scratch on my door at night when i'm trying to sleep? That's what wakes me up at night. They wear kettles on their heads and have acorns for teeth. This, yes, was a dream i had, but i've never gotten over it...apparently.

I'm impressed that you climbed a tree and i will be sure NOT to watch Backwash..ty for the tip

Small amounts of what????

Oooops. Spelling snafu. Pus. From cysts that form in the udders as a result of mastitis. The farmers give the cows growth horomones and they cows get milked lots and they are most often pregnant and between the pregnancies and the milking, some cows get infections. There are actually rules defining how much can and cannot get in the milk for it to still be accepted and shipped out.

I found this on Google Answers.

Now, as for the “pus” finding its way into the milk ---

The milk collected from the cows is stored on the farm in a bulk tank.
The dairy farmer and inspectors routinely check this milk for
contamination before it is shipped out to be pasteurized for sale. If
it does not pass the test, it does not go out!

The contamination of the milk is measured in terms of the SCC –

“The SCC amount is the Somatic Cell Counts (number of white blood
cells …Leukocytes) per milliliter of milk (SCC/ml). A dairy industry
rule of thumb states that cows measuring less than 200,000 SCC/ml of
milk are considered healthy or not significantly infected with
mastitis. Cows measuring over 200,000 SCC/ml are considered infected
cows.”

That was the PER COW level. The BULK MILK level regulation is:

“Beginning July 1, 1993, the SCC level in milk quality regulations
must be less than 750,000 SCC to comply with the State and Federal
Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. A violation of the PMO makes the milk
non-marketable.”

1. Sometimes when I get super tired and super stressed, I want to pound my fists on the table while shrieking "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" but I don't want to scare the dog and cat.

2. I reallllllly love gummy candy. Gummy lifesavers, those yummy artificially flavored peach rings, and even those gummy sharks.

3. I'm trying to convert the towels in my house: All oversized and white in the master bathroom and all sandy-beige in the guest bath. (I can't believe I still had a beach towel that I bought in high school!!)

4. My toenails have been continuously painted for about 15 years. (I know! I know!)

5. I've got 5 books going right now: 1 on the Kindle, 2 on the night stand, 1 in the bathroom, and 1 at work.

[Ebon]

1. I love nature and I believe that it contains everything we need to live, survive and thrive with/on.

2. I don't like talking on the phone(outside of work). I get bored with it after about 2 minutes.

3. I don't think that we are alone in the Universe but I also don't think that aliens would bother coming here because humans are not evolved enough.

4. I think that some animals are more evolved and more intelligent than most humans.

5. I don't like watching the news.

[jenny]

1. I'm an ESFJ, according to Meyers-Briggs, but I think I'm more introverted than that.

3. Cinnamon toast always takes me back to childhood. So do Eggo waffles.

4. I've used the same email address since 1996. (Maybe it was 1995?)
