-helped build a full-size traders outpost cut-log fort and created "Fort Lone Tree", a big summer ranch (bible camp) for teenagers.

-Had lunch and sang for the "original" govornater, Jesse Ventura

-Skated with Tony Hawk before anyone had every really heard of him (I was about 12, though!).

-Road a mountain bike to the top of Laramie Peakin Wyoming and lived through a fall when my brakes failed on a switchback going down (I was a lot skinnier then!)

-killed, breaded, and eaten a rattlesnake

-sang at that Nashville Predators stadium for 8,500 people

-Sang in 30 states and toured from the pacific to the atlantic ocean four times with my band

-got married as a virgin

-put my own hardwood floors in our new house.

-hit a drunk pedestrian while driving a 30 foot dock tuck and knocked him 20 feet (and he didn't even need stitches).

-sung in over 400 churches and college campuses

-built a HUGE cedar playground for my kids with zero help.

-sold a $1.4 million dollar house (too bad it wasn't mine).

-have never been to strip club of any kind. Such a wuss!

-have received workman's comp on two broken ankles at the same time

-have sung on 13 different albums

-shopped a song to Aaron Neville that was accepted (had to sing like him).

-have visited the Mall of America over 200 times

-can still dead lift the back end of most compact cars....although when I first did that to impress the dear woman who is now my wife...I ripped the rusty bumber of of my Dad's Plymouth Horizon. That was a rough one to try and explain in the morning!

That's it...and baby number four is well on the way to boot!

Okay then, my turn...I've never had much of a brush with fame, so those stories are out...but I've...

  • Broken my leg climbing the fence to a well known athletic club in AZ just to swim in their GIANT jacuzzi. And then I had to climb back over the damn fence just so I wouldn't get a ticket for tresspassing.
  • Stripped at a night club in Phoenix to pay for college back in my "skinny" days.
  • I can shotgun a beer like nobody's business, but now that I'm over 30 it's harder to bounce back than it used to be hahaha!
  • Me and my friends bet a man that he wouldn't jump off a bridge onto a gondala (spelling)...we paid him BEFORE he jumped. Yes, he jumped and busted up the boat and passed out while me and my friends ran as fast as we could to the hotel...this was in Amsterdam red light district.
  • Had a one night stand with an ASU football player.
  • Called in sick to work and said a friend died just so I could stay home and have sex with my husband.
  • Bought a sling shot in Mexico for my son, but used it to shoot people on the beach with small sea shells hahahah...boy was that mean!
  • Convinced my new husband to streak down the street with me...let's just say our neighbors will never be the same hahaha!

Ok thats all I can think of even remotely interesting to anyone... I definately HAVE FUN LIVING!!!!

Mrs Christy, you are too funny.

OK, here's my list:

Have a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration

Have 2 Masters of Science in Management degrees, one with a specialty in Business Management and the other with a speciality in Project Management

Currently working on a 3rd Executive MBA degree

Thinking about going for a PhD after this!

My BIL used to be a professional race car driver in the NHRA series.

Played cards with John Force, star of A&E's Driving Force & NHRA Champion, during a rain delay in Houston, TX

Flew First Class once only to have my best buddy fart and blame it on me. It was a bad one too.

Have a thing for red-heads. Can't get my wife to go red. I guess I like blondes more. :biggrin1:

Here's my pitiful list:

!. I can swallow a whole piece of cooked spaghetti and then pull it back out. (Ick, I know!)

2. I can pee standing up. Again, Ick! I know.... I went to too many parties that didn't have bathrooms when I was a young adult. The things one will do when they're drunk!

3. I've driven more brand spankin' NEW cars then anyone I know. (My parents owned a ford Dealership and I learned to drive at 9 yrs old)

4. I can spit, let it drop and almost hit the floor and pull it back in. Ick again right?

5. I can wiggle the tip of my nose side to side. Oh God, my list is getting grosser, but hey, I kinda like the Samantha from Bewitched thing.

6. I can make my lips look like a horses. Yes, I have no talents.

7. On a brighter note..... I have the uterus made by michelin. I could carry quadruplets 3 weeks past their due date and still end up having to be induced!

8. I'm the only person in the world who would sell her husband for one kiss from Darius Rucker! gotta LOVE that man!

Pati, holy smokes, you must have brothers! Lot's of your talents sound like the stuff brothers like to teach their little sisters.

And triplets. You deserve a medal. How old are they now?

  • Shook hands with John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Pete Townshend, Jeff Beck, Neil Young, Chuck berry, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, Paul Anka and on and on....
  • Worked 6 of the Rock and Roll hall of fame induction ceremonies
  • Was at the Rock and Roll hall of fame opening...and the concert the night before

Are you in Cleveland? I just wondered because of the R&R Hall-of-Fame ceremonies you mentioned.

I'm a huge Rock Music fan (particularly of The Who) so this totally made my evening.

You've got me beat on some of those but I haven't 'shaken hands' with Slowhand (Eric Clapton) yet - although his opening act tried hard to get me to come 'backstage' with him, LOL....But that's another story.

Thanks for sharing

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
