Re: Questions!
2) Have you ever had surgery? For what?I had my tonsils taken out when I was a sophomore in college -- worst experience of my entire life ever. I had sinus surgery about 3 years ago because I had about 7 sinus infections a year for several years. And I had LASIK 2 years ago -- best thing ever!!
3) How do you take your coffee/tea?I like 2 Splendas & extra skim milk in my coffee. I like my tea with honey.
4) How many siblings do you have?While I usually refer to myself as an only child (because I'm my mom's only & I never lived with any of my halves/steps) technically I have 1 half brother & 1 half sister, a step brother & a step sister but I also have a step brother & 2 step sisters from my mom's 2nd marriage (he passed away when I was 8). My step brother from my mom's 2nd marriage married my step sister from my mom's third marriage. Did you get all that? I'm going to quiz you on this later.
5) Have you ever been in a fist fight? If yes, explain.Yes.... some girl who was known for fighting just decided she didn't like me for absolutely no reason and she punched me in the face when I was a senior in high school. I was SO upset afterwards -- like hysterical, I went home & my mom thought someone died -- but according to other people that were there I held my own so I'm proud of that.
6) Have you ever failed a class?Yes, I didn't do very well my junior year of high school & I failed US History. I hate memorizing all of those dates LOL (super embarrassing)
7) What's your favorite movie?Steel Magnolias. I know every word
8) Do you speak any other languages?Nope, I can say some things in French & I can read it pretty well but I wouldn't say I speak it.
9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO?Probably around 4 days. I get a lot more time off than he does so sometimes I'll spend a long weekend at my parents house down the shore without him. This winter we'll spend a whole week apart when I go to Grand Cayman with my girlfriends. That will be hard!!!
10) Make me laugh.No. YOU make ME laugh!
2) Have you ever had surgery? For what? I've had my tonsils taken out (so I guess I had more stiches there). I had had tonsilitis for almost a year straight when I was 7. So out they went.
3) How do you take your coffee/tea? Either iced or hot... I usually prefer just cream no sweetener. Sometimes I get crazy and put in either vanilla syrup, white mocha or gingerbread syrup that I have at home. NOM!
4) How many siblings do you have? 1, although I have a cousin I grew up with in the same house and I consider him my brother
5) Have you ever been in a fist fight? If yes, explain. I once (drunkely) decked a guy for trying to feel me up from behind. He hit the ground... therefore it wasn't really a fight per say. (This embarrasingly earmed me the name knockout K)
6) Have you ever failed a class? Yep Statistics had to be retaken.
7) What's your favorite movie? When Harry Met Sally!!!!!
8) Do you speak any other languages? Habla poquito espanol et petit peu francais
9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO? He went to Germany last fall for 9 days for work. Then he missed his flight back to the US. Worst/best experience for us.... it really tested us.
10) Make me laugh. I just ate a macaroon for breakfast. Ok... not funny. But I would love a recipe if someone has one who is actually reading all this.
[QUOTE]1) Have you ever had stitches? What'd you do to get them? Only after surgery. I've had four surgeries for endometriosis and the incision sites get stitched up. I've also had two surgeries on my left wrist and one on my right, and they also use stitches. 2) Have you ever had surgery? For what? Oh, whoops. Sort of answered that above! Four surgeries for endometriosis, two surgeries on left wrist, one on right wrist, and a<strong> tonsillectomy (at age 24. That was actually most painful!</strong>). 3) How do you take your coffee/tea? Depends on the kind. For tea, we often drink green tea with a bit of honey around here. I also enjoy breakfast blends with a spash of milk and a sprinkle of sugar/Splenda. For coffee, if I'm being good I will either drink black or with a splash of skim milk and one packet of Splenda. I prefer coffee with a bit of cream and sugar. At home I've been brewing Starbucks French Vanilla coffee and using the Bailey's nonalcoholic creamer. SO GOOD! 4) How many siblings do you have? None. I'm an only! 5) Have you ever been in a fist fight? If yes, explain. Long story, but in college I saw a creepy guy (not a college guy...someone from outside campus, at least in his 40s) groping a girl that I had just been working with on a project but who left before me. <strong>I punched him and then kneed him in the balls</strong>, then went to the campus police. They didn't catch him, but at least he didn't keep doing what he was doing. 6) Have you ever failed a class? Nope. 7) What's your favorite movie? Um, I have no idea. I always draw a blank when people ask me my favorite things. I'll get back to you on that one. 8) Do you speak any other languages? I used to be conversational in Spanish (and actually better at reading and writing than speaking) but I stopped taking classes and don't use it anymore. 9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO? I think like 4 days. He goes ice fishing for an ice fishing derby one long weekend a year (4 days) and I used to travel a lot for work and I think 4 days was my longest stretch. 10) Make me laugh.

<div>Wasn't it the WORST!! OMG I just wanted to sleep & sleep & be on the drugs they sent me home with until the pain went away. Also, I LOVE food (who doesn't) & it killed me that I couldn't eat for almost a full month. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. </div><div>

1) Have you ever had stitches? What'd you do to get them?
Nope.
2) Have you ever had surgery? For what?
Nope. Wait, does dental surgery count? I've gotten my wisdom teeth taken out, but I think you mean major surgery. Or at least bodily surgery.
3) How do you take your coffee/tea?
Coffee: cream and sugar. Tea: sugar
4) How many siblings do you have?
1 big brother
5) Have you ever been in a fist fight? If yes, explain.
nope, but I will beat a bi-ch if I have to
Yes. In high school I failed a math class. I had to go to summer school. It was uncool. But didn't really matter in the long run at all.
7) What's your favorite movie?
Oy...too many good ones to pick. Now that we are close to Halloween, I always watch Hocus Pocus. Yes, it's a Disney movie for kids from a bazillion years ago, but I love it. I also always watch Home Alone and Christmas Vacation in December. There aren't very many Thanksgiving movies so I tend to watch all the Friends Thanksgiving episodes. I like getting into the spirit via tv/movie entertainment.
8) Do you speak any other languages?
Really bad, mangled French.
9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO?
Maybe close to 2 weeks. I'd say about 10 days.
10) Make me laugh.
I had a grapefruit size ovarian tumor removed.
Flavored like pumpkin with lots of sugar, spices and whipped cream?
1- a 16 year old sister.
Negative.
Negative- In fact, I graduated magna cume laude .
Dirty Dancing
About 10 days.
Yep. Just recently I had two sets on my left one - the first set in the emergency room and then the second set when they had to take out the first set and redo them during surgery to repair the tendons & nerve. Fun-fun!
That good ol' hand surgery I mentioned in #1
I don't drink either very often but when I do I like my coffee with sugar & cream. Tea, straight up
2 older (step) brothers, 1 younger (step) sister
Hehehe - this makes me giggle for some reason. I have never been in a fist fight. Can't imagine a situation where I ever would be!!
Hmmmm . . . I'm sure I failed something my freshman year of college when I was busy goofing off. Can't remember though.
I don't have just one favorite but I will ALWAYS watch any of the following: Top Gun, Fried Green Tomatoes, Pretty Woman, Steel Magnolias
Not a bit. I took four years of Spanish in high school; worthless since I remember nothing (NADA!!). One year of Korean in college because I wanted to learn something different. Also worthless since I don't remember it. I also took American Sign Language in college because my sister is deaf. She signs and reads lips so I don't necessarily need to sign to talk to her but the little bit I learned helps. I just wish we lived closer so I could keep up those skills!
Over two months earlier this year when I was deployed. I left right after Christmas and returned home in early March. That was tough.
Tea: Sweet
The best story though is once when I was out with ExH - this guy was being a real creeper and staring at me... Ex asked him stop, a friend told him to stop, and i told him to stop. My friend went outside to smoke a cigarette, and i went with her - the creeper followed. Me, being slightly tipsy and really irritated - I said "Do you not understand F*$*#*#n English??" He just looked at me funny. "I've told you to stop, my H told you to stop, and my friend asked you stop as well. So either you don't understand English or your a F***$*#n idiot" He gives me this retarded grin and says "It's a free country, i can do what i want." "Oh really? So i can do what I want, then?" He looks at me weird and says "I don't care" So I reared back, and punched him in the sternum....knocked his a$$ to the concrete. My Ex came outside to see where I was, saw him on the ground, looked at him and then at me..."what happened" My friend pointed at me... I looked at my ex, "What? He pissed me off. Plus he said I could do what I want"
Ummmm...... I would tell you a joke, but they're all kinda mean
[QUOTE]1) Have you ever had stitches? What'd you do to get them? I got bit in the face by a dog. My neighbor's dog got hit by a car and I needed to get her home- so I carried her down the street.

The title was "My husband and I were afraid our adopted puppy and kitten wouldn't get along..."
I guess it's more cute than funny though :-)
Yep. When I was like 7 I was at this lady's house playing on a rope swing, which was situated over a rose bush. I fell in the rose bush (which had convieniently just been clipped) and the stem went into my leg. I still have the scar on my thigh

1 little brother. See that Life Update thread for the photo. He's cute.

Nope. But not because I've never wanted to. I just have an insane amount of self control.

Nope. I withdrew before it happened. Although, technically, I failed math and German while I was living in Germany, but they wouldn't actually fail me because I was an American. Living in Germany. And the classes were in German.

Currently the Jaws series for it's utter ridiculousness.

9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO?One month. Not long after I moved to AZ, FI had to go to Houston for work for four months. We saw each other once a month. It was hard, but now we know we can get through anything.
10) Make me laugh.Knock knock. Who's there?Interrupting cow.Interrupting co.....MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Still here and still fabulous!
[QUOTE]8) Do you speak any other languages? I speak fluent German.
Posted by peekaboo2011[/QUOTE]
I'm jealous! I absolutely adore German and wish I'd been able to continue taking classes.
I had a jillion teeth extracted as a kid...just had too many for my mouth to hold. Ironically, I only have one wisdom tooth and it is still intact.
Tea...straight up, unless it's chai...in which case, I like it latte style
5) Have you ever been in a fist fight? If yes, explain.
Tough call, really. I like psycho thrillers, comedies...anything with themes of mental illnesss
I was going to put the effort in here, but my boss gave me another thing to do. I'll get back to you on that...

Married!
1) Have you ever had stitches? What'd you do to get them?
Once, when I was two. It was my second birthday, and I was jumping on the couch and fell and hit my head on the coffee table. I had stiches above my left eye and I still have a tiny scar.
2) Have you ever had surgery? For what?
Never had surgery.
3) How do you take your coffee/tea?
Tea with honey and a splash of milk if it isn't herbal. Coffee with cream and sugar (and a Turbo shot if it's at Dunkies)
4) How many siblings do you have?
One, a younger sister who is my bestest friend in the world. And probably a bunch of half siblings that I would love to meet - or at least know about.
5) Have you ever been in a fist fight? If yes, explain.
My sister and I have gotten in some physical arguments, but nothing like an all-out fist fight. In kindergarten, there was a bully named Chris who stole my Oreos every day. When my mom asked me what I wanted her to do about it (call his mom, etc), I told her just to give me two bags of cookies. When Chris started demanding both bags of Oreos, I asked him to come talk to me in the coat closet, where I proceeded to punch him in the face and make his nose bleed. He ran out crying, and never stole anyone's Oreos again.
6) Have you ever failed a class?
Nope. Came pretty close in a couple of classes in college (what can I say, I had a pretty crazy freshman year), but never failed.
7) What's your favorite movie?
Sixteen Candles.
8) Do you speak any other languages?
I speak conversational Spanish.
9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO?
A couple years ago my sister and I took a random impromptu getaway to Maine for about 3 nights (my parents were up there on vacation so we went to see them). Then this year, I spent a fateful weekend at my mother's house when we were fighting and it was awful.

Nope.
10 Things I hate about You.
I am fairly fluent in conversational Spanish. Basically I can talk to my family just fine, but I wouldn't ace a Spanish class.
Hmmm... About a month. I think that's the longest we went after we were official and we were still LD. But since he moved here, its been about 10 days (while I was in Venezuela this summer).
Nope
I had my wisdom teeth and adenoids removed.
I only drink decaffeinated green tea plain in the morning.
I have one brother, 23 years old. He's the least judgemental person I know and the only one who knows the exact point where I go from insanely annoyed but still having fun to serious p.o.'d and he likes to push it.
nope
I failed a few in college. My ex was a real slacker and not the best influence on me during that time.
Shawshank Redemption or any zombie movie
Spanish and I can count to 6 in Japanese, lol.
I think maybe 4 days?

8) Do you speak any other languages?German, but very, very little and poorly. lol
9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO?Just over a month while he was in Europe the summer after our senior year in high school. I talked to him all of three times because he never had access to a phone (he was moving around a lot and not on his own schedule). And the first time he called, no one was home at my house so all I got was a message... saying he probably wouldn’t have access to another phone for a few days to a week.
10) Make me laugh.Uhh... What kind of cheese isn’t your cheese?! ...Nacho cheese!!!
Somebody once said, it's the soul that matters. Baby who can really tell, when two hearts belong so well?

I had the self disolving ones. One time I watched a surgery and had to leave the room when the staples went in. I find them so un-natural, I love taking them out though!
2) Have you ever had surgery? For what?
I had my wisdom teeth out in highschool, so far that is it.
3) How do you take your coffee/tea?
Don't drink coffee, but I like my tea plain and slightly warmer than room temperature.

I have an older sister who is 25, and my younger sister passed away a year ago, she would be 21 now.
5) Have you ever been in a fist fight? If yes, explain.
Nope! Absolutely terrified of fighting.
6) Have you ever failed a class?
For a math class I took in College we needed 100% to pass... I got 95% so I had to take it a second time, I was so upset with myself over it.
7) What's your favorite movie?
I love When Harry Met Sally
8) Do you speak any other languages?
I am officially Bilingual in French and I understand Spanish but can only speak enough to have the most basic conversation.
9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO?
He works on a week on week off rotation about 2 hours from home so we spend every other week apart. Not the best situation, but we talk a lot and when he's home we're almost always together (unless I'm at work).
10) Make me laugh.
I am not capable of making anyone laugh right now.
[QUOTE]Quilted, I don't know what happened but I'm so sorry about your sister. That must have been horrible to go through losing a sister so young.
Posted by csousa1[/QUOTE]
<div>Thanks :) It's still not easy to deal with because of the way she felt towards me and pulling away from all of us, but I think I'm getting closer to accepting it all now.</div>
Only the after-surgery kind. I've so far avoided having stitches and would love to keep it that way.
2) Have you ever had surgery? For what?
Wisdom teeth, appendix taken out, tonsils taken out, gum surgery to fix them after my front teeth were knocked out, root canal if that counts.
3) How do you take your coffee/tea?
With cream or milk. I also like it mixed in with a bit of hot chocolate or something. I don't like coffee to be too strong.
4) How many siblings do you have?
Two little brothers, one just turned 10 and the other is turning 12 soon.
5) Have you ever been in a fist fight? If yes, explain.No, not that I'm aware of :P
6) Have you ever failed a class?
No, but I did fail a grade 10 math exam. I was in New Orleans for a music competition and missed a weeks worth of classes. I always struggled in math and just couldn't catch up. I asked my teacher to help me out and she was a b!tch and told me that it was my own fault I fell behind and she wasn't going to encourage me to miss classes. She was part of the music program too, I can't believe she wouldn't help me. So I failed the exam but still passed the class since I did well enough the rest of the year.
7) What's your favorite movie?
Probably the LOTR movies.
8) Do you speak any other languages?
No. I used to speak French but stopped after highschool so I can't really remember most of it. I know a few words of Latvian from a camp I went to when I was a kid.
9) What's the longest amount of time you've spent away from your SO?
Just over a month probably. That would have been when he lived at his cottage in the summers when we were in school and I lived at home. For the last two years we were in university I lived up there with him because I hated being apart.
10) Make me laugh.
I'm far too sleepy to even be able to think of a joke :P
