Drinking beer in Utah gives me a headache.
Because there is not enough alcohol or enough company?
Of what I can tell you.... :naughty:
I ran away from home when I was 15 (I eventually came back).
I oil paint and write poetry.
I hug trees. (oh wait, that's not surprising!)
I never missed one day of school from K-11th grade. I graduated high school with a 3.8 average, and college with a 3.9 (that really blows people away beacause I screw around so much) :2thumbs:
This one's easy for me, cause nobody on here really knows me. :haha:
- I somehow managed going from Dell computer Tech to Systems Engineer IV for Zions Bank overnight, without getting a degree, without experience, without fudging my resume, and without knowing somebody on the inside.
- When I was a kid, I set off a 12ga shotgun shell in my hand.
- When I was a teenager, my father accidentally shot me in the face with a 9mm pistol. (ricochet)
- When I was first born, I was switched at birth and it was several days before the error was discovered.
- My great, great grandfather was an outlaw turned US Marshal. It wasn't until the late 80's - early 90's that his fortune of stolen gold was found ($300,000,000 worth of gold bars) just south of Eureka, UT. The money would have stayed with the family, except he was kicked in the head by his mule shortly after burying it and lost his short term memory. There's karma for ya. :ne_nau:
- The first fish I ever caught (at the age of 8) set a state record for bluegill.
Wow......now that's MY idea of a client. :2thumbs: btw.....I don't think anything has been boring that's been posted on this thread! It's interesting reading the varied interests and stories from everyone. Although we are all still waiting to hear from some people.....Sombeech?? Tanya?? Acca's story about smoking a "peace pipe" ? :toker:Quote:

2) in 9 months I will retire from my government job and become a triple-dipper. :2thumbs:
3) no debt what-so-ever. Net worth is ... figures
4) sat next to jim morrison in 1967 in a small club in sf but had no idea who he was :ne_nau:
5) luv to date young girls named Angel who put out on first date
Bo and I were in the Air Force at the same time but our paths did not cross.
Nevermind.
How about a name? Western history is a bit of a hobby with me.Quote:

:popcorn:
Since Savannah really wants to know.....
Like someone else said ... I say so much more about me online than I ever do offline! There is no comparison....
But just in case you don't know my whole life story by now....
1. Abused as a kid.... pretty bad.
2. Moved to SLC for 6th grade. Liked it there... was into sports. Someone was doing their Master Thesis on me. I thought it was cool and liked talking to the guy. Was mostly about athletics rather than about my deviant behavior. :haha: Started to ditch school that year .. a lot! Would go to the YMCA after school and wrestle with the boys team. There were no girls wrestling at that time, but I was allowed to practice with them. Love wrestling!!!
3. Moved to Kingman Arizona for 7th grade. I loved it there. Was really into sports and was voted best female athlete of the year. That was the only school I was in that did that sort of thing. I liked that. :nod:
4. Moved to Vegas for 8th grade. Found that YMCA and again was allowed to wrestle with the boys team. Started to ditch school again. Showed up for P.E. and tennis after school. Hung out in gangs sort of thing became school "tough guy." Often in fights and missing many classes. More of a loner at school. I did not fit in. I liked being with the older crowd I would hang out with when not in school. Although in these sorts of groups I never tried drugs and rarely drink.
5. Dropped out of school ---- went for one week when I was 15 and no more. Got married. Took 4 years to have a baby though.... and then divorced right after he was born.
6. Moved to Cedar City and got my B.S. in Biology. Mellowed... became a good mother and got 4.0 in College. I am told I am a fanatic about stuff like that.
7. Moved back to Vegas and got my M.S. in Exercise Physiology. Not 4.0! I worked hard for that. It was not easy changing subjects for the new degree! :ne_nau:
8. My son was doing judo and wrestling and had been since he was 5. He was so tough! We would drive to California, Mexico and of course around Nevada and he would fight often 3 different categories. I started Judo and after the first year was beating the men black belts in Vegas. I was invited to train at the National Judo Institute in Colorado Springs.... so we moved there right after he won Jr. Nationals in San Diego. My son entered the Jr. Olympic Tournament at the Olympic Training Center about 2 weeks after we moved there and instantly become the NJI Coaches favorite Judo kid! He was 9. He started wrestling again once there winning the state championship each year. The kid is tough! He was invited to train with the adults in Judo and never did loose a wrestling or judo match..... except his first judo match! He lost to a girl! Poor kid! He did not even know the rules then..... but still it was a girl. :mrgreen:
9. Soon I was nationally and internationally ranked at 123 lbs and trained and competed with the NJI and the Olympic Training Center. We spent years training and competing until we were in a car accident with a diesel.
10. Unable to do Judo anymore we moved to Mt. Carmel Jct. and you all know the rest.
You are one tough woman Tanya! I have lots of 'little stuff' I guess that I dont really give much though to, like most people, stuff that you yourself would'nt really consider all that unusual but others would. In my teenage years I was a little wild I guess...out of hand if you ask my parents...enough so that they sent me to Hawaii as part of a youth work program in 81'. It was a turning point in my life - enough so that I 'cleaned up' for lack of a better description. I planted pineapple for Maui Land and Pineapple - lived in dorms with a crapload of guys - did alot of stuff that very few people even know about to this day...and basically worked my a$$ off. I recommend it to anyone with problem teens.
...and I fell in love with the islands, the beach, anything tropical...and learned to surf there...
Oh Tanya - it breaks my heart to know that you had such a rough childhood. You are most definitely a survivor with a wonderful life now and someone I admire very much. :2thumbs:Quote:

-I've eaten bbq'ed alligator. :roll:

Getting married young is so dumb!!!!! I try and get my kids to understand that and wait until they are in their 40's! It's a LONG life to live with one man. I also try to tell them to have very few children.
Hear that guys... the woman is SINGLE! :popcorn:
Belize....damn tempting woman....
..why Belize?.............................SINGLE?! Tell me I read this wrong...I know savannahs' single...but :ne_nau:
Really interesting to read such out of the ordinary backgrounds, especially for someone who was always a practical, well grounded, follow the rules kind of guy. It's always impressive when someone makes it through "unfortunate" circumstances and comes out a successful person. My congratulations.
By the way, I married at age 20 and have been very happy with just one woman. Different strokes...
That in itself deserves a hearty congratulations! :2thumbs: You were fortunate to meet the right girl early in life. I'm still looking for Mr. Right, or at least Mr. Right Now......... :haha:Quote:
