1. love to sing and I'm a good listener 2. I made and eat tunafish pancakes (it was all I had in the home to fix and no one like them). No, never want to eat that again. 3. I smile when anyone stares... and if a child responds to my wieght.. I agree, and go on to say something like: "so much more of me to care about people like you!" 4. when I was 13 and wore a 32 D... I was diving in a two peice swimming suit and my top flung off as I dove into the water... it was so embaracing to get out of the pool! 5. I would grab my corner shelf filled with memory things, pictures, and all my dutch stuff! It is all so specail to me!

Morning Pam Great questions!Thank you! 1. What are you best known for and/or what is your talent??? Sad to say.....its my cookie baking. 2. What has been the weirdest thing you ever eat? Would you eat it again? I guess it was smoked oysters on a pizza. Would I eat it again? Heck yea! I would eat spider eggs if it came on a pizza! 3. What is your response if a child come up to you when you are out in public and says your fat/over weight/ big? Or stares/glares at you when you are out in public? Wow! When I was thinking about this question I realized that after a lifetime of trying to be invisible.......I dont have a response.......I just pretend like I dont see them. 4. What has been your most embaracing/funniest situation? The most recent one that comes to mind is when we were at a Pumpkin festival and I somehow fell on both poor arthritic knees in a crowd of people. My shoe flew off, my shirt flew up and my self-esteem flew right out the window. 5. What is the first thing you would run to get in your home if you had to leave quick due to fire, flood, tornato? Why did you pick that? I guess my 3 cats ( cuz i have a love/hate thing going on with them). Then it would have to be my elephant collection. then if I still had time........I MIGHT go back for the 3 old women who live here with us.(Oh! I'm going to hell for that one) Sorry pam! couldnt pick just one willby

Hey WILLBY......were are MY cookies????

1. Cooking..Everyone knows me by my cooking skills 2. Tounge tacos..didn't know what it was till I was chewing and then i was told, and no I would not ever eat that again... nasty 3. A child I ignore..anyone else I ask them if they have ever seen a fat person before, if not take a picture so you don't forget.... 4. When I was bout 18 I went to a REO Speedwagon concert, and I was walking up the bleachers with my hands full, and this person, moved and pushed into me, I feel up the bleachers with the 2 sodas and drenched these 2 hot guys with the drinks...I just wanted to die, so instead I started laughing uncontrobally, and so did everyone including them..Boy did I have brusies... 5. my purse and some clean undies

1. What are you best known for and/or what is your talent??? I guess it is that I am a good listener... always have been.. that is why I became a therapist. 2. What has been the weirdest thing you ever eat? Would you eat it again? I was in Alaska and age Herring Eggs that were laid on branches of a hemlock tree that are tied to a rope and thrown in the ocean... once the fish lay the eggs they pull it out of the water and quickly dip it in boiling water to kill the eggs (I guess). I tried ONE BITE to be polite.. you eat it right off the tree branch like corn on the cobb and you are supposed to pour what is called hulligan oil (made from wale blubber) over it (I COULDN'T bring myself to try that!) HECK NO I will NEVER eat that again!!!! 3. What is your response if a child come up to you when you are out in public and says your fat/over weight/ big? Or stares/glares at you when you are out in public? I usually just ignore them but I have been known to be snotty and reply, well, you're a brat or haven't your parents taught you manners? 4. What has been your most embaracing/funniest situation? One time I was traveling for the summer as the leader of a group of teens who went do different churches for each week of the summer and led vacation Bible School. We usually stayed with families and as the leader, I usually ended up in the odd situations. Well, I stayed in a house where the people were out of the country on vacation so it was Sunday Morning and I had put laundry in the dryer which was located on a three season back porch... because I was alone I was just running around in a T-shirt (a short one with NOTHING else on). Well, the door was locked and I didn't realize it so I was locked out of this house in a t-shirt... I tried all of the first floor windows and all were locked... finally I decided the only way in was thru the second floor bedroom window where I had been sleeping and had opened the window... I had to move a picnic table to under the window plus put a lawn chair up on the table and climb up on all of that to get into the second floor window. If would happen now I would have just busted the window on the door and unlocked the door and called the glass man but I was about 24 years old and didn't even think to do that... plus I was POOR LOL!!!! 5. What is the first thing you would run to get in your home if you had to leave quick due to fire, flood, tornato? Why did you pick that? I would go get my puppies. Patti

Well, the desktop PC is in a state of chaos, but I decided there was no reason I couldn't log in from the laptop ... so I don't have to miss as much as I thought I would!! YAY!! My answers: 1. I haven't a clue what I might be known for ... and sort of cringe at the thought of finding out! 2. Hmm... when I was a child my dad fixed "brains and eggs" and I ate it with him ... wouldn't touch it now, but did then ... guess that counts, right? 3. Ignore the child, look at the parent as if they were negligent for not being better parents. Not always a sucessful maneuver, but makes me feel better. 4. Oh Lord, where DO I start ... well, I worked for doctors for about 32 years as an administrator and there's the time I was being ultra-professional in dealing with a new physician, sat down on the edge of a rolling chair and it flew backwards, dumping me in the floor on my butt and then crashing down on top of me (the chair) ... or the time in high school when, rushing because I was late, I grabbed my lunch tray, ran to a nearby almost filled-up table, shoved my tray onto it, and in doing so, shoved everyone else's off ... packed cafeteria, I'm the ONLY person standing amidst a bunch of dumped lunches and angry classmates ... so I did the only thing I COULD do ... I bowed and accepted my applause. On the top I was acting as if it was a huge joke on me, underneath I was mortified. Geez, haven't thought of THAT in an eon. 5. Well, I have no small children, so I'd shove my daughter and her dog out, grab my dog and purse and leave. My daughter, her dog, my dog ... because these are precious living things that I love so much ... and the rest is just material. (((hugs all, I've missed you!))) Myra

Great questions Aunt Pam, I have to clear out the cobwebs and get to work... 1. What are you best known for and/or what is your talent??? ~I think I'm a pretty decent friend and I guess cooking and crafting. Although I haven't done much crafting in awhile I used to love it. I get compliments on my cooking so that makes me happy. I love cooking and baking it relieves stress.~ 2. What has been the weirdest thing you ever eat? Would you eat it again? ~My brother, when we were little, was the KING of gross out!! He'd catch, kill, and eat just about anything. It didn't end when we got older, he worked on a deep sea fishing boat and had me eating squid and it was SOOO GROSSSS!!!~ 3. What is your response if a child come up to you when you are out in public and says your fat/over weight/ big? Or stares/glares at you when you are out in public? ~When it's a child it hurts but they really only know what they learn from their parents so I can't fault them for their stares or comments. HOWEVER, when it comes from an adult that's a completely different story!! JUST last night I had to run to the store to pick up cat food and two soldiers walking IN THE NEAR DARK felt the need to say very loudly (only my daughter and youngest son and I were walking near them, so I know it was me they were talking about) MY WIFE WILL NEVER LOOK LIKE THAT!! I wanted to cry so bad, I just ran in the store dragging my poor little 3 year old so fast her feet were barely touching the ground. I came home mad, grumping and grouching at everyone. My sons overheard me telling my husband what had happened and how upset I was and they both followed me upstairs and gave me hugs and kisses. My heart just broke into a million pieces. It was hard to go through it and it was equally hard to have my children watch me get hurt. A@@hole soldiers why couldn't they just keep their opinions to themselves?? ~ 4. What has been your most embaracing/funniest situation? ~Well, it didn't happen to me, it happened to my husband but it whenever my mom and I get together we laugh so hard over this. We used to meet my parents at a Cracker Barrel restaurant because it was the halfway point between our houses and they would pick up the kiddos. Anyway, we were all done and my mom and I were sitting at the table, dad had gone to pay the check and my husband came into the restaurant part and just stood at the front of the isle where our table was with his hands on his hips like a superhero wanting us to HURRY up...WELL, he had this HUGE stream of toliet paper stuck in the waistband of his pants (so everyone in the restaurant knew what he had been doing) and it was kinda waving and I just fell out. I'm sure everyone thought I was nuts but my mom and I laughed so hard we could barely catch our breaths. I could only point I couldn't even talk. You just have to know my husband he is such an a@@ sometimes...he was ready to go and demanding we hurry up and get going and there he stood with that toilet paper and all we did was laugh. He marched into the store part and my dad caught sight of him and started giggling. Oh boy he was mad when he found out what we were all laughing out. To this day all I have to say to my mom is Cracker Barrel and we both bust out laughing. She called me the other day and wanted me to write and put it in Reader's Digest... Now, if that had happened to me I would have DIED of embarassment....BUT I always check everything before I leave the restroom!~ 5. What is the first thing you would run to get in your home if you had to leave quick due to fire, flood, tornato? Why did you pick that? ~Assuming I had my family out already I'd grab my important papers. I have it all in a rubbermaid container and sitting here thinking now I'm going to put my dad's Bible in there too. I was wanting to grab that first but I knew I'd need all my house documents, birth certificates and all that jazz.~
