Still Milling Around The Mixer . . . (LONG)

[Cindy C.]

Hey,

Well, I read all of the mixer posts, I think.  You guys are one cool
and fascinating group of people!  How cool and fascinating?  

Let's see.  It looks like I'll need to huddle with Catlady, Tyler,
Annehmr, JDR, Sandy, and Severus Sucker in the "40 and over" corner. 
That's where we can talk about our mid-life crises away from youthful
prying eyes (I'm battling a weird urge to go sky-diving, myself). 
Elizabeth is planning ahead, as she has already decided she's getting
a motor bike for her mid-life crisis.

I don't know if we can be heard over the noise coming from Katheryn,
Severus Sucker, Morgan D. and Klara over in the "Tower of Babel"
corner, since they speak at least 5 languages each.  Excellente!

Tonya can open an on-line university, since she has *three*
undergraduate degrees her own self!

Martha and I are "messed up" middle children.  No wonder, though.  Mom
always liked my siblings best!  ;-0

There are lots of dogs, too.  Although I think Tracy has the fastest
dogs (greyhounds), which I hear are great pets.  I'll bet Jennifer's
beagle has escaped on at least 5 occasions!  And I'm going out on a
limb and predicting Gabriela's French Poodle is white but does not
have a traditional poodle cut.

No one mentioned sushi as a comfort food!  But Laura's nearly raw meat
is close; it sounds ever so . . . slippery.  And Melissa?  I like
liquid jello too!  It has that weird sticky quality in the mouth, and
it's warm, too!  Katherine'###&Ms are good too, although I can't go
for those new crunchy ones or the peanut butter ones.  I'm a purist!  

Naama, when you splurge on 2 eggs and salad and two slices of bread,
is this a sandwich?  Vulgarweed, I like Little Debbie snack cakes too,
but only the oatmeal ones.  Julia likes Dr. Pepper, but how do you
feel about these weird new sodas that are coming out?  Lemon Coke. 
Vanilla Pepsi.  I find them undrinkable.  <shudder>  Abigail goes for
mac and cheese; but are we talking boxed or home made?

Nox definitely resides in the city with the coolest name -- Toowoomba.
     I just love the way that sounds!  Toowoomba, Toowoomba, Toowoomba!

Annehmr has the longest marriage, I think, at 21 years!  Amber seems
to have the angriest jilted lover, though.  Sounds awful, Amber.  

Shaun likes astronomy, so I will puff out my chest and brag that I can
find most of the constellations readily visible in the northern
hemisphere!  I volunteer in my kids' schools to teach at the school's
planetarium, so I had to sort out the night sky.  I have no clue about
the formation of stars and all of the *hard* stuff, though.

Jen works in an emergency room, I think.  Is there, erm, *blood* and
*bodily fluids* involved?  Are the workers allowed to faint dead away?
 ;-)

June, I used to sell cokes at Arizona State University's football
stadium,  People *hate you* when you spill drinks on them.  Don't ask
how I know!  ;-)

Terry, what color is the bridesmaids dress?  I've poured myself into
one dress that was the color of orange sherbet (that one came with a
*straw derby* I had to wear!) and another was lavender.  I put my own
bridesmaids in deep blue, but now I wish I had told them to wear
whatever they wanted.

Sarah, once you dissect a fly's brains, what do you *do* with it?

Becky, you make *diapers?*  Like, square pieces of cloth?  Or do you
mean diaper covers?  Do you want to take on a partner?  I have a
sewing machine!  ;-)  Amanda, do you wear what you knit?  I ask
because I used to knit and produced nothing that anyone would actually
put on their bodies.  I had a bit of a talent deficit.  ;-)

Let's see.  I'm thinking Linda's last name (Treantafel) is pronounced
"Tree-AN-tah-fel".  And I think "Przemyslaw" is "PREM-ee-slah."

Well, that's enough out of me!  ;-)

Cindy -- thanking you all for playing
