Get to know you questions- everyone answer, even the lurkers! (more)

How many children do you have and a little about them? How about pets? What is the craziest thing you have ever done to your hair? When I say swimsuit, you say....? What is the last book you read? Where would you vacation, if you could leave tomorrow? Cut and paste the questions if that would be easier for you to answer. I would like to see everyone answer them, just to get an idea of how many people look at the board. If you don't want to share personal details, then at least post your name and if you have had surgery or are thinking about it. Thanks guys!! ~Julie

How many children do you have and a little about them?-- 3; Courtney=11, Jerin=8 almost 9 in Sept, and Cameron=will be 3 in Oct. How about pets? -- 2 cats; although I prefer dogs I was talked into these cats they are 8 mo old 1 girl, Bailey, and a boy, Butterscotch. I named them after my favorite drink. What is the craziest thing you have ever done to your hair? -- I have never gone really "crazy" with my hair. It is naturally curly and I think it is crazy enough without my help. When I say swimsuit, you say....? -- Maybe next year. What is the last book you read?-- I am in the middle of "The Control Freak" a self help book really to help me to give up some control and deal with others I feel that take control of me. The last book I read completely was "Timeline" by Michael Crichton. Where would you vacation, if you could leave tomorrow?-- We went to Germany last Oct. It was actually my reason for looking into surgery. The plane was horrible I had bruises everywhere from the seats and my husbands jeans actually made bruises on my legs we were so cramped. So if I could go somewhere tomorrow (being heavy) I would probably choose somewhere I could drive like Chicago or KC. If I were thin tomorrow I would go on a cruise to Alaska. (which I am planning in 2005) Ok all questions answered, whew...easier then I thought.

How many children do you have and a little about them? I have 2 children (3 counting my husband..hehe) My daughters are ages 9 and 11 (12 next month). They are both very bright young ladies with good heads on their shoulders ( i just hope they use them!!) Both my girls are overweight, but my oldest daughter already is 5'7 and weighs 200 lbs... so I am hoping if this surgery works for me, maybe someday she can have it done too if she wishes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~`How about pets? We have 4 horses, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 fish. We have raised, bottle fed and released everything from baby squirrells and rabbits to baby robins that have fell out of trees.. we are BIG animal lovers. ~~~~~~~~~~ What is the craziest thing you have ever done to your hair? I died it BRIGHT red... i looked like bozo the clown!! ughh!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I say swimsuit, you say....? VERY LARGE T-SHIRT coverup ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is the last book you read? Ummm.. that would have to be the brand new (5th book in the Mammoth hunter series) book by Jean Aul (i THINK that's her name...???) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Where would you vacation, if you could leave tomorrow? My husband and I would take the kids and go stay in a cabin in Canada on lake of the woods, and fish.

No kids..yet... infertillity is part of the reason Im thinking about the surgery ... being fat my whole life kind of ruined that dream for me.. Pets.. I have 2 cats but they dont live with me since I cant have pets in my apartment... Craziest thing I have ever done to my hair?... OMG where to start... Ive shaved the lower 1/3 of my hair... so it would be cooler when I worked outside on a horse farm.... it has been many colors ranging from black to purple to green blue and red.....Swimsuit??? Sure if someone doesnt want to look at my body they can turn their heads...Yes I have a strange additude about that.......The last book I read.... Eleven Days by Donald Harstadt ( its based on true story about murders in Iowa I highly reccomend it ) Vacation.. if I could go anywhere... I would start in Oregon visit my sis... go to california and go to DisneyLand in Orange Ctyand Balboa Parkand the original Sea World in San Diego.. then go to Pheonix to visit my best friend... then to Vegas... If only I could hit the lottery... at least I wouldnt have to quit my job... oh the joys of unemployment ... LOL Dawn
