    Wow.. that second point. That's must have been really, really tough.

    And I'll bet there's much more back story behind this list. However, I don't want to pry like that... but feel free to share it if you feel comfortable. If not, then just ignore this. Big Grin

    I used to babysit for an astronaut's children -- Don Eisele, who has now passed away. And another astronaut, Don Williams, used to be married to my best friend's cousin.

    Seattle is a lovely city. Very different feel from cities on the East coast.
    "the nun taped my mouth shut for talking"- When I went to elementary school in Taiwan, we'd get whacked by the teacher for giggling in class....mind you, we were a room full of silly little girls, too.

    The nuns used to whack us with a ruler across the palms of our hands. They also had a way of pulling you out of your seat by the hair that could be very unpleasant!EEK!
    My sister is a survivorof abuse. It took her a long time to leave the relationship. I am glad you are safe now.

    I wish I could have seen the look on your husbands face when you beat him at golf. My wife beat me at Scrabble and she rubed it in for a week!Big Grin

    When I was in first grade, I got a 'C' in conduct. I never stopped talking.

    My friend and I once beat my (now) DH and his friends at pictionary. ...they were all tankers in the Marines.

    The winning picture? "tanker"

    (The person drawing got too into detail...it was hysterical!)

    I saw Johnny Bench in a restaurant once.
    I, too, am afraid to go back to school. Halfway through, I gave in--my grades were great, but my undiagnosed disorders did me in. The memories are hard to overcome and I can't seem to make myself actually do it.
    Your list is great!

    Broken Arrow, yes a bit of a story, behind my list. I don't consider it prying.
