1. describe your first crush. A guy that my mom worked with named Keith... I was in about the second grade and I thought he was the cutest thing ever and SOOO nice... well, that is when I found out what gay meant 2. what reality show would you be on and why then which one would you NOT be on and why Hummm.... I think I would do Martha's Apprentice.... I am actually pretty good at being a merry homemaker (when I have time!!!!!) I would not be on the biggest loser because I can't imagine having my wide tail on a scale for millions to see 3. what scares you the most? That I am going to be one of the people that fail with WLS. 4. What is your most cherished item and why? A poem that my husband wrote for our first anniversary that is etched on glass and is framed with a wedding photo... I didn't know he had such poetic talent and he wrote the most amazing poem. 5. who do you admire most and why? My husband. He is the most loving and gentle man on the planet. He is legally blind (from his mother being electrocuted when she was 8 months preggers with him) and when he was born his parents were told to put him in an institution and forget about him... that he was going to be profoundly mentally retarded and would never even be able to keep care of himself (they didn't realize he was just visually impaired and not disabled in any other way). Well, they refused to listen to the advice and I don't think he is "profoundly mentally retarded" as he has earned three master's degrees and is working on his second doctorate... he is brilliant (and cute too!!!!!)

1. OMG ... I married him ... shoulda just stayed "in-crush" with him! Beautiful, lovely boy, who turned into a disappointing man. Enough said. 2. Hm.... this is in a perfect world, right(?) where we're fit and able ... so it would be "Survivor" cause that's how I feel about myself ... I'm a survivor. Would not want to be on the Donald's or Martha's reality shows. 3. being dependent upon others. 4. I cherish my daughters most in this life ... goes without saying, really. If you mean material item ... a necklace pendant I had made ... my Dad's wedding ring with my brother's clover tie-tack hanging inside it. They both died way too early in life, and that necklace means so much. Currently, however, it's "on loan" to my Mom, to revert to me when she passes on. 5. My two daughters. Because they've grown up in a single-parent household, with a dad that was just not there for them, yet still they're optimistic, intelligent, good-hearted, generous and hard-working women. They're who I always wanted to be when I grew up! Great questions, Di... thanks! Myra

wow! diane........5 great questions and real eye openers. Thanks for thinking of them! 1. describe your first cru**** was my cousin Bruce....and i was 10. 2. what reality show would you be on and why then which one would you NOT be on and why: OH!!! i would LOVE to be on Wife Swap!! But I wouldnt want to be on Fear Factor......Joe Rogan makes me 3. what scares you the most? Being lonely 4. What is your most cherished item and why? Material item? MY ENTIRE elephant collection (couldnt part with one of them) Emotionally? My somewhat non-dysfunctional family(family of origin are) 5. who do you admire most and why? wow! Thats a hard one! Its not ONE person....but every person who gets up and does the same thing day after day after day to provide for their family........be it man or woman....they are really heroes in my eyes

1. My first crush was Davy Jones. Yes... the Monkey. Gawd he was adorable. I ended up living a block from his house in Richardson, Texas. I'm still amazed that I never broke in and stole a pair of undies. 2. I think it would be interesting to be on Starting Over. I've always had a little trouble getting along with women and that's something that show could really help me with. I would NOT be on Survivor. Imagine the horror of the physical challenges. Sorry team... my arse just don't move like that. 3. Failure scares me. I'm an undergrad, honor student, working on publishing my first peer reviewed article in a scholarly journal, I have a research conference coming up in December. I'll soon be preparing for law school. I consider "B"s a failure. I could have done better. I could have worked harder. I could have had an A. I stress myself to the breaking point and I have broken down before. Failure terrifies me. 4. My most cherished item is a necklace I wear each and every day. It is an antique snuff container. Heavy silver shaped like a big flat tear drop. I cheri**** not because of what it is, but because of what it holds. I put my father's ashes in it. I get such mixed reactions. Some touch it and ask what it is and when I tell them its my dad, they pull their hand back (some even wipe it on their pants) while others think its the coolest thing ever. 5. I admire my dad the most. He was an extraordinary person. No, really. He was absolutely loved by everyone person he met. He was a genius but he wasn't a slave to it. He never worked a job that didn't bring him some sort of pleasure. He was a fireman, a paramedic, a prison guard, a master electician, a farmer, and a mechanic. He did those things because he found joy in them. The paychecks were just a bonus.

Hi everybody, 1. First cru****hink it was Donny Osmond..what teen in the 70's didn't love him.....he is still so cute. I saw him on Pyramid the other day and my heart was still all aflutter. I cried the day he got married! 2. What reality show would I like to be on? Well, I LOVE to watch BIG BROTHER on CBS..I don't think I could handle being on that show cause I would go into the diary room and probably say all these things about the different people, and then feel sorry for saying it because it would bite me in the butt! (ouch!) 3. The thing that scares me the most is driving on a bridge/driving on a 2-lane mountain pass. I don't mind being the passenger (if my hubby is driving) but driving myself..and knowing that we are above water or really high...forget it!!! 4. I don't really have a cherished item. I don't put much stock into material things. But I would have to say I would hate to lose my wedding ring set. Oh yeah, I also have a black onyx ring with a tiny diamond in the middle. It was my great-grandmother's. Since I have no daughters, I guess I will pass it on to a future daughter-in-law. 5. Who do you admire most? That is a hard one. I must be overthinking this thing cause my first thought is Oprah because of the kindness she shows to others....I'd love to be her best friend..the tabloids say that she and her best friend Gail are buying an island together....if the tabloids say it, it has to be true right????

1. describe your first crush. Was my first boyfriend...Ronnie. He lived across the street from me and I was best friends with his sister. I loved him. Me and his sister got into a spat and his mom found out about it and made us break up. So I still had to see him EVERYDAY at home and school, but was not allowed to speak to him. It broke my heart. 2. what reality show would you be on and why then which one would you NOT be on and why I am a reality show junkie. I watch alot of them. I have always said I want to be on The Amazing Race, once I lose my weight I want to apply. And you could NOT pay me enough to be on Fear Factor. 3. what scares you the most? Failure. 4. What is your most cherished item and why? My mom is dividing all her jewlery up between me and my sister. So every piece she has given to me is cherished. 5. who do you admire most and why? My mom. She has been to hell and back in her life. She is strong and a survivor. I love her.

Di.. You really come up with some TERRIFIC questions!!! Thanks!! 1. Mickey was his name.. our families were friends and we played together and he thought I was cool for a girl.. I thought we'd be getting married. Until.............. we stretched Stretch Armstrong too far and his blue goo came out.... such heartbreak for a 3rd grader... 2. I love Big Brother and it's not real physical all the time and they don't eat stuff like on Fear Factor.. I hate Fear Factor but I feel Biggest Loser should be taken off the air I hate it so bad... 3. that I won't get my surgery 4. my wedding set.. when we were shopping I was like "oh that's nice" then she brought out this set and I couldn't breathe or speak.. she knew it was "SOLD" lol 5. My big brother.. he is a wonderful father.. he works full time and overtime and always has time for his family. Scout Leader and all that stuff dads are supposed to do.. He has always been my hero and always will be.

1. I was in 6th grade. His name was Paul. I always wanted to kiss a guy with braces. LOL 2. I would also want to be on Big Brother. I wouldn't want to be on Survivor. 3. I am scared when my hubby goes hunting for the weekend and I'm at home alone at night. 4. My wedding pictures. 5. My hubby. He has so much will power. He wasn't approved for the surgery and has done so good on his own. Diana -171
