Tell us one thing we still don't know about you

[mvd]

It can be positive, negative, or neutral.

I haven't said this about me before: I get swimmer's ear easily. I have some hearing loss from the swimming I did when I was younger. I wear ear plugs in the shower.

Now how about you? :hi:

[TroubleMan]

1. I was a high school state chess champ

nt.

[sweetladybug]

2. Just in case anyone wants to know, my birthday is Monday the 26th and

I will be 50 yrs old (folks that is 1/2 of a century)

[eyesroll]

5. Happy birthday, Gayle!

:toast:

[Bertha Venation]

[Taverner]

3. I never graduated from High School but....

...I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Oregon State University, and a Masters of Science from San Jose State.

[eyesroll]

4. I'm responsible for the Astley Christ photoshop!

There, I said it. I'm officially going to hell.
(I should add it wasn't my idea -- it stemmed from a thread on a related topic, and I was asked to put an image together, since I know how to use Photoshop and the person who asked me to, well, doesn't.)

And, on edit, I should also add that I wish it was my idea -- I'm good in the technical department with photo editing, but not so much on the creative side.

[oneighty]

6. I have a huge ego

and crave attention.

Sigh.

[MrScorpio]

7. I have a big...

Collection of comic books.

About 10,000

[VOX]

8. I am inexplicably drawn to the late 1930s-early 1940s...

I'm attracted to this time period, although it was long before my birth.

Around my desk/work area in our home office, I have portraits of FDR and Harry Truman framed with hand-signed letters; a 1941 Gil Elvgren pinup calendar; some framed Gil Elvgren pinup prints (these were the inspiration for much of the aircraft "nose art" of WWII); scale mohagany models of WWII and pre-WWII aircraft suspended from the ceiling; a WWII field radio; a vintage airfield clock; a vintage black dial telephone; a framed original one-sheet of Abbott and Costello's movie "Keep 'Em Flying" (1941).

I also have a WWII classified photo of my dad's Army Air Force Officer's Candidate School graduating Class of 1943 -- hand-signed by *every* member of the class.

My computer is the one thing that is not of this time period!

[sweetladybug]

9. Just a little more about myself

I'm a pitching coach for fastpitch softball.

[Bertha Venation]

12. oh, my . . .

*swoon* :hi:

(No more softball for me in this life. Oh, well.)

[asjr]

10. A friend and I won doubles championship Ping Pong

tournament in high school in 1950. Ping Pong was very popular then.

[Bertha Venation]

11. my right ankle is an unstable amalgam of titanium, linguine and glue

Four surgeries -- the fourth to clean out the infection that resulted from the third. Only because I am married to the most dedicated (and strong-stomached) woman on earth do I still have a right foot. Mrs. V. cleaned the wound and changed the bandage every four hours for weeks, then every six hours for weeks, etc. . . .

[sundog]

14. I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood

I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold...

[Hoping4Change]

15. By an act of God a friend and I escaped from the clutches of

what appeared to be a white slave operation in Rome in 1984. A British journalist who now produces a weekly news programme was the person who told me that by my descriptions that it was most likely a white slave operation. Very scary stuff. No lie.

[flamingyouth]

16. I skipped first grade

I was smart, before the school system got to me.

[Mara Steele]

34. That was what I thought...

I don't doubt he adores it w/a passion! I love tattoos on women, though I would never get one on myself...

[Padraig18]

35. I adore *him* beyond reason, too.

We have a mutual-admiration society going. :D

[Mara Steele]

36. That's great... it's m-jean03 here, by the way...

I think I might have a gal friend to adore beyond reason, too...well, I already adore her unreasonably but I don't know that it's mutual yet... :shrug:

Anyways, here's to summer and lots of flesh showing, huh? :D :toast:

$280,000,000 Powerball Jackpot. I still got $5,000 though on $5 worth of tickets! :)

[TroubleMan]

24. My wife (before she was my wife) won $50,000 in a scratch off.

After all the money was gone (a few months) we ended up back together.
