    - I refuse to use the semi-colon in any context: including on this board.

    - I came in 3rd place in the All-Valley Karate Championship back in June of 1984. Unfortunately, everyone only remembers the controversial championship match between Lawrence and that white trash kid from Jersey.

    - Sometimes, I sell lucky pennies for a dollar to make money.

    - I nailed Tina Yothers, Punky Brewster and Tempsett Bledsoe. I was really drunk when I nailed Tina Yothers.

    - My favorite number is 309.

    - I once laughed at an antelope.

    - I like apple juice. But, I like orange juice more.

    - I wrote a really, really bad novel.

    - I just got my dog back from the vet. He had a splenic tumor the size of a volleyball that weighed 10 pounds. Set me back $2,000. The vet said it'd only cost $600, but afterward he told me it was the largest tumor he'd ever seen. I realize it is a stupid amount of money to spend on a dog, but he's the best pet I've ever had, so I suppose I'm glad the vet never asked if I wanted to spend that much money before hand.

    - I've never bought a car that was younger than 8 years.

    - I've gone back and forth between gear driven and impact sprinkler heads. Gear driven seem to water less evenly. Impact heads get stuck. I'm back in the gear driven camp for now.

    - I like banana in my scrambled eggs.

    - I think there are four kinds of marriages. Those that barely get by. Those that are friends. Those that are best friends. Those that are crazy in love. Each is more rare than the previous. I'm usually somewhere in the last two, depending on how recent the sex or how good the dinner. Not bad after 9 years.

    - I frequently eat all my kids' Lucky Charms when they aren't looking.

    I have 3 cats, all with literary/artistic names (Orlando from As You Like It, Margot and Rudy after Fonteyn and Nureyev).

    I bake.

    I have a huge vegetable garden, rose garden, herb garden, fruit trees, and drought-tolerant ornamentals, all organic.

    I am a technical writer.

    I have San Francisco Ballet season tickets.

    I have never developed a taste for coffee and in consequence it's about the only thing in the world I can't cook.

    I'm brunette/blue eyes.

    I'm a red diaper baby/grandchild and 3rd generation feminist.

    I have probably not surprised anyone with this list.

    I had to look up "red diaper baby". I'm with you on coffee--I tolerate it, and can drink it to be polite, but it's not really my bag.

    Did you develop the garden b/c you are a great cook, or start cooking because you had fantastic ingredients?

    Have you ever been to Russia?

    The cooking came before the gardening. But they do supplement each other, you know, hmmm, a ton of basil, time to make pesto.

    Never been to Russia. But I do like tea.

    I just drove home in a 40 years old Italian car that I purchased. 200 miles in a loud Alfa Romeo is an experience that is both magnificent and terrifying...

    I hate root beer, candy corn, pumpkin pie, beets, mince meat, cranberry sauce, corn on the cob, toffee and caramel.

    I drink between 6-8 cups of coffee/tea a day (lol grad school)

    I got my first cell phone 2 years ago.

    I've never been in a relationship that didn't last at least 2 years.

    I know almost nothing about cars, and have no desire to. Every car I've owned has been at least 15 years old, cost me under 3k and was a total ghetto-mobile. I completely ignored each one and drove them like shit until they finally broke down. Thank god for Japanese cars that will drive for a year without changing the damn thing's oil.

    Other than that, I'm fat. But normal.

    I hear you. I'm always amazed that people spend so much money, time and thought on transportation. It'd be more rational if we were living back in the 1980's when pretty much all cars broke down at 100k miles, but anymore they seem to drive forever. And when they do break down you generally can see it coming, so you don't get stranded.

    Anymore I tend to buy $5k to $6k cars because they tend to be more comfortable (AC/radio/power windows still work and the seat isn't shot.) But I could go back to $3k cars without really sweating it much.

    Another reason I really, really hate the new Cash for Clunkers program. You get the government buying up all the $3500 cars, and it drives up the price of the cars remaining. Single most indefensible thing the Democrats have done this year, IMO.

    I go to school for Zoology at North Dakota State.

    I too also could care less about cars. I know nothing about them and want to know nothign about them

    When I was 10 I was hit and ran over by a car. It shattered my right tibia and fibula, at one part where the bones came out of the skin. It raised my eye socket a bit on the right side, and I can't see great out of my right eye. The doctor wanted to cut my leg off right when he saw it, but they managed to put it together using a external fixator. I have scars on my leg that are so damaged underneath I can't even touch them.

    I would have no problems calling the authorities on my best friend or parents if I knew they were into animal abuse of any sort.

    My family was homeless for nine months in Porltand before we moved to Minneapolis.

    I was given the gift of impression, but rarely use it.
