Getting to know you...

[Stephra]

This is a fun little game I've seen on other forums. It's a great way to get to know your fellow V4Lers. Join in so we can all learn a little more about one another.

It works like this. I'll post a fact about myself. The next poster should be someone who can say the same thing. Then they add an unrelated fact about themselves, who someone else can respond to.

I'll start with an easy one:

In my house, the animals outnumber the people. Two people versus three cats and an albino Burmese Python.

Anybody else have more animals than people?

 

[Trish342]

ME..... Lots more animals than people.
Ok.....I married my High School sweetheart.

 

[Defiantgroundhog]

I married my high school sweetheart also

I'm the oldest of nine kids... anyone else from a big family?

 

[beebopnjazz]

I married my high school sweetheart too.
My 2 grown children and their 2 children (3 & 4) live with me.

I've live in Wisconsin my whole life... but I'm a huge Cubs fan

Lived in Dodger Country (So Cal) all my life, but always had a thing for the Yankees...

My youngest is graduating High School this year...

 

[bornagainst]

Born and raised in the Arctic Watershed, came to the big scary city to be a stand up comic, realized that it was actual work and that bummed me out.

 

[uzzaperez]

I live in the big city for work too...and that bums me out.

Born and raised in the city, but if I had a billion dollars I'd live in the middle of nowhere.

I've lived in the middle of nowhere, and if I had a billion dollars I would live in the city. Funny how that works, we always want what we don't or have never had.

I have 24 blood aunts and uncles which is why I ended up being an only child which I enjoy when family reunion time comes. We have to rent parks, etc. to fit everyone. Anyone else an ONLY and lovin it?

 

[jeffree]

Another lonely only here. Research shows that we're more likely to be leaders and collaborators, which explains nothin' about me.

I moved from Michigan to a warmer place... and now miss the winter terribly. If it ain't one thing, it's another...

 

[Stephra]

Slight hijack, since I'm not an only child, but this...

...is totally my family. We have our family gatherings at rented halls. My mom is one of seven who each have two or more, and then when you start counting the great-grandkids, the numbers start to turn exponential.

End hijack. I believe ALC was looking for someone who is an only child?

 

[Mary Kay]

I am in the South but was born in Denver..I can't take the cold anymore!
I am a happy grandma of 2 boys..one who will graduate High school next year!

 

[Belletrist]

i am an only child... and i'm in the south, myself.

prior service! air force, but i'll take any prior mil... who's out there?

 

[LudaCura]

I was in the Air Force ROTC at college for three months, before I dropped out (of ROTC, not college) when I realized what the post-graduation commitment would be.

I was born in a former Communist Bloc country, but have been a New Yorker since I was two years old.

I still live in MI and I want out! I won't miss any winters, trust me!
I've lived in big cities, and have been in the middle of nowhere. I'll take the big cities, though Belize/Guatamala was nice (warm anyways).

My ideal would be a big city in the tropics near the equator. Anyone wanna join me? I would prefer humidity but if necessary I'll take desert too! I just want *heat!*

Does getting kicked outa boot camp (8th week) count because I beat up my Drill Sergeant? (army)

LOL

 

[Skyler]

I'm a Yankee by birth but Texan by choice!

 

[jdvorr]

I'm a yankee by birth as well.
I have an art degree and do watercolors.

 

[Katya]

I have an art degree too. I live in California but miss Manhattan...

 

[lonercom]

I miss Manhattan too and I'm afraid of snakes.
