If you had an extra $5000 to spend on the wedding, where would you spend it and why? Acutally..I would put this towards a house!

What are three things you must have when you leave the house? my chapstick, debit card and a water. I get really thirsty..lol

If you had a multi-million dollar foundation, what cause would you support and why. Wow, Let me think about that one. But am very emotional about children that are abused or molested.

25. Share something about yourself!! I was born with 12 fingers..hee hee! (The extra two had to be tied off) so by day 10 of my life, my fingers were back to normal!) LOL

My daughter and DH both had 12 fingers - both of theirs had to be surgically removed because there was bone in it. The doctors said since DH had it, all of our kids will have it.

brobin01 · March 2010

Wow!!! Really!!! Genetics! I wonder if all of my kids will have this. I didn't have any bone, nor did my son. I feel great to know that this happens to more than just me! LOL

YasJas2011 · March 2010

I know if the father has it, then the kid is 100% going to have it. I think if the mom has it then the stats may drop a little. DH's sister had the extra finger without the bone, and she just had a son at the beginning of February who had the finger without the bone and they tied it off.

When I was like 7 months pregnant my MIL said, "you know your baby is going to have 12 fingers like TJ right?" - I didn't even know he was born with 12, so it was a complete shock. He said he honestly didn't even think about telling me because it isn't like he thinks about it very often. I just hated that our daughter had to be put to sleep for it when she was 2 months old because it was actual surgery.

brobin01 · March 2010

Thanks Everyone for reading! I enjoyed sharing! I have been so busly lately which keeps me off of the knot now of days.

stackeye - wow! yeah, it's not something I thought would happen to my son eiether, but it sure did! LOL It's funny too. But I do understand why you were scared - due to her having to have sugery

It's an interesting werid trait.
