this board is TOO sleepy....let's shake it up a bit:

1) Do you believe in reincarnation 2) Do you believe in ghosts or spirits that can be seen by people on earth 3) Do you have any special gifts/talents you'd like to share 4) Any good recipes you'd like to give out? 5) Tell me one thing about you that I would not or do not know 6) Where were you born? you don't have to answer all of these you can answer one in depth, heck you can go back and post each question individually....whatever gets this board moving, it's boring me to tears lately! 1) Yes i believe in reincarnation but i don't believe you are allowed to 100% know the people you were involved with in the last go round, they may be familiar to you on a deep level but i'm not sure you'd know why 2) I believe in ghosts and spirits with every fiber of my being 3) I am extremely flexible and can place my feet behind my ears, not for long periods of time anymore (i'm getting old) but when i was young i could rock back and forth like that 4) let me look something up i'll get back to you 5) I used to do stand up comedy at open mic nights in college, now i'd be too afraid 6) I was born and raised in New York, i've lived other places but i always come back to my home state! Hugs, ANDI

1) I dont really have an opinion either way on reincarnation. I dont disbelieve it and it could actually be true.. I have just never given it much thought. 2) I think this is true. There is a lot of research backing up spirits although I am not sure how some stay and others dont. I love the show Ghost whisper. 3) I am not sure what to say in this area.. I am kind of a "Jack of all trades" I have a lot of talents but I am not overly exceptional at any of them. I speak fluent sign language, play a guitar. I love to dance and I would say that is one of the things I do pretty well. I can usually watch a dance step once and pick it up. I had lots of training as my mother started me in dance classes when I was 5 years old. 4) Again I am a good cook but I dont keep receipts. I just cook and it usually trues out pretty good. I think if you have a concept of the way you like things to taste and understand seasonings cooking can be a fairly easy task. I think my spagetti is pretty good if I had to pick something. 5) I won a few sign song competitions when I was younger. That is the art of taking a song and signing it conceptually so others see and feel the music. I did the song "Papa can you see me" by Barbara Stresand (?). "Thriller by Micheal Jackson just to name a few.. it was a fun time in my life. 6) I was born in Baltimore Maryland but only lived there until I was 6 months old. From what I understand my parents set out to california at that time. We lived for a short time in Montana and Oregon and than settled in California when I was 1 and a half. I have been here ever since. My daddy is a musician so this was the place to be if you were gonna make it in music. I consider myself a Calfiornian but I got a lot of Southern up bringing as my family is orginally from North Carolina and Florida/Georgia so I actually have an accent that I try really hard to hide and a lot of southern beliefs that crop up from time to time.. So thats a little about myself..lol...Now Andi get back on track.. u were doing so good.

I'm doing just fine dont' you worry

I'd love to be fluent in sign. While I was living in Dallas I learnt some for during worship at church, but have forgottn lots of it, now that I dont' use it so much. It is so expressive and beautiful, i think it conveys so much more than spoken words alone

But, if you want a really good idea for something to eat and you are allowed to eat carbs, try this ... Take 1/2 a whole wheat Pita pocket. Squirt a little bit of light ranch dressing inside and spread it around. Then put some deli ham and some shredded cheese inside. Toast it in a toaster oven. YUM! 5) Tell me one thing about you that I would not or do not know ... I used to be able to burp the entire alphabet in one burp. Gross, I know! I was quite talented with burping! But now that I've had this surgery, I cannot force myself to burp anymore! Hee, hee! 6) Where were you born? Corvallis, Oregon

let me tell you i got the abridged version of this on my email at home and the line "i used to be a sex offender" was the one thing that caught before i read further i damn near fainted on that line. I believe in reincarnation, a soul has got work to do and sometimes (as in still borns or miscarriages) the souls work is done prior to birth! We might never know the why's but i think it's important for me to think that i helped someone get something done! Any jewelry designs you'd like to share on the internet, I love jewelry and am looking for a belly dancing piece that goes from my ankle around my second toe with beads or bangles or some such! Hugs, ANDI

I did the exact same thing re the sex offender comment too... Yes, I'd love to see some of your jewelry if possible Jean. How are things going setting up for your shop? Hey Andi, I saw an article in my local newspaper re belly dancing in a town near here. Knowing you do it, I'm tempted to have a go... BTW, my e-mail has been down at work for the last couple of days - not sure when it's going to be back up
