Lets share a few details we haven't shared before... in this thread, post some little known or UNknown fact about yourself for the rest of us to get to know you better.

You might not have known... I used to work as an EMT and was able to save a couple of lives in the process!

My husband is a farmer and I help out by driving the tractor and combine when he's short-handed. I didn't think that I would ever drive the combine. There's so many buttons and levers that it would be nice to have a third hand!!!!

You might not have known that I majored in Agricultural Business & Economics in college. So, DianaB, I know a lot of the business of farming!!!!!!

You might not have known that my husband is almost done with medical school. He wants to go into Ophthalmology and specialize in Retina surgery and eye trauma surgery. That is where all our student loans have come from! EEK!

When I worked at Frito Lay, I did most every job, except for the kitchen area!

My favorites were running the cranes and backing the semi-trailers to the docks.

You might not have known.......that I've had super-long hair all my life until May 2005 when I donated 11 1/4 inches to Locks of Love. A year later, I cut off another 12 1/4 inches....so in 1 year (+1 mo.) time, I donated TWO FEET of hair to Locks of Love.

Now it's been 9 months since my last big haircut, and my hair is a tad big below my shoulders. I'm well on my way to growing it long to donate it again....maybe?

Have any of you donated your hair to Locks of Love? (or is my asking this question hijacking this thread? lol)

Tink · 04-05-2007, 07:12 PM

Well done on the locks of love donations!

I haven't donated, but I did suggest it to my granddaughter who ended up donating to it. She had a cousin who was only a yr older than her who lost her hair to chemo, so she was proud to be able to share her hair with another child.

My grandbabies are blessed with unusually thick, fast growing hair from birth. Paide was 6 when she donated and had plenty to share and still have a cute bob. Aubri, who will be 2 in May, has hair past her waist already that's thick and wavy... just gorgeous!

I love the program and encourage people to donate whenever I can.

to your granddaughter for donating!!! It's a huge sacrifice, and for me, it was a very emotional one, but to know it's going for a good cause and going ahead with it is really one of the best feelings in the world.

I'm "addicted" to doing it now! Any other haircut feels "wasteful" to me. LOL!

You might not have known that I am actually pretty shy in real life...though it probably doesn't seem like it on the forum, lol.

I want to travel to as many countries as possible.

I play violin and a bit of piano.

Hmm...I can't really think of anything else. I'm pretty boring.

AngieDoogles · 04-06-2007, 03:05 PM

Oh, I forgot something that I should have put on that list. I LOVE outdoors stuff. Rock-climbing and rappelling are two of my favorite things to do. This is why I love working as a camp counselor so much. I get to spend time with kids and be a kid myself at the same time. I got to do archery, tubing, playing in the river, climbing the sides of mountains, doing challenge courses 60 feet in the air, and lots of other fun stuff!
