Not MM-related

hoffse · June 2015

GTKY: What are some random facts about you that we wouldn't know from our MM discussions? Totally open-ended, I know.

hoffse · June 2015

Me: I am developing a southern accent. It's gotten stronger since moving to Alabama. You wouldn't know it on the internet!

Totally random - I was diagnosed with "big blind spot syndrome" right before my high school graduation and ended up attending graduation with one eye dilated (my pictures look fantastic, let me tell you...). It's an extremely rare but completely harmless condition where your optic nerve swells for unknown reasons and expands your blind spot. I went through multiple rounds of MRIs at Emory before they decided I was completely fine. The neuro-opthomologist who looked at me said he had only ever read about it but had never seen a case, and at the time I was diagnosed there had been fewer than 30 cases reported world-wide. He asked for permission to write an article about me. I have no idea if he ever did.

H: When H was a baby his mom had a pet scarlet macaw that H's uncle brought back from South America. When H was learning to walk he somehow managed to pull himself up on the cage and the macaw bit off part of his pinky finger. H was 9 months old and doesn't remember it, but has a pretty strong fear of large birds as a result...

H also has to list himself as an amputee on his life insurance. His clarinets all have modifications so he can play without part of his finger.

The kicker is his parents didn't re-home the bird after that happened. They kept her for a few more years. She finally died when she couldn't lay eggs and my inlaws took her to have surgery at the exotic animal clinic at UGA. She died on the table. Not even joking.

Probably nothing exciting but:

I love my dog to death, he is my first dog ever and I'm so glad I have him. I used to have guinea pigs growing up but am allergic to their fur

My husband is the greatest guy I've ever met. It's hard to believe that he comes from the family he does because he is the total opposite of everyone else (financially). Even though they live 45 minutes away, we only see them a few times and year...but never on holidays because we spend them with my family...his choice. Hopefully things will change once we get a house and can host everyone together.

I have a very small family. Both my parents are from families of 3 kids but we have only have 1 cousin! I think that's why I have no desire for kids because I never grew up around babies.

I love to travel and want to do more of it

I used to have fainting spells growing up (until about age 23). Never found out why it happened but it was usually from being over heated.

Now that we are staying at my parents temporarily, we have black bears that come through the yard a few times a week....scary stuff!

brij2006 · June 2015

OMG @hoffse that's nuts for your H.

Hmmm, let's see. In High School I actually had a goal to be married by 18, and have babies by 20. My aspirations were to just be a secretary somewhere, then a SAHM. Then at 16 I started dating my now H, and realized how much more the world had to offer. So instead I went away to Chicago for college (grew up on a farm in a town of 600), and became a very career driven woman.

I'm a total adrenaline junkie, and have gone skydiving, cliff diving, and mountain climbing.

Completely personal, but I'm open about it. I actually grew up in an abusive household. My dad took out his anger on both my brother and I, and I had a very bad relationship with him. To the point of moving away at 18 and telling him that I never cared if I ever saw him again. It caused me to become very independent and head strong, and is 100% why I am who I am today.
He has since calmed down immensely and we made amends about 5 years ago. I am now very close to him and we talk at least twice a week. He is also an amazing grandpa and is very patient and gentle with my DD.

cbee817 · June 2015

Random facts are fun- I'll share a big one.

I am an only child raised by a single mom. My mom was a senior in college when she found out she was pregnant. My dad saw me in the hospital and left after that. We lived with my maternal grandparents until I was 6. By the time I was 9, I had been to 4 different elementary schools because my mom was moving around for different jobs (research lab at a college, chemistry teacher, lab work at a hospital, pharmacy school). My dad came back when I was almost 16 and my parents got married when I was 20. Needless to say, the first few years he was around were very strange and I was very angry, but I've worked through them for the most part. My girls love him so it'll be interesting to see their reaction when they find out one day (don't really plan on telling them, but I assume when they see photos of me as a little kid, they'll wonder where he is).

This is all sort of MM related because I feel like a lot of my planning and saving is because of the way I grew up- we were poor and my mom didn't own a house until I was 12 (after she graduated from pharmacy school), so it was my mission to have a boat load of cash in savings, a house, a husband, a good job, school complete, etc, etc before I had kids. I didn't want them to experience what I had gone through.

jessica490 · June 2015

@brij2006- I also grew up in an abusive household as well (my dad). I moved out at 23 when I got my first full time job out of college. I'm now 32 so living apart has bettered our relationship. Now that we are living with him temporarily I had worried about coming back into the house to live until we find a house but it has turned out find so far. Maybe because H is here too? I can tell though when he's moody so I just stay away. I've been in and out of therapy since I was 25 when I realized I was just like him and was causing problems in my relationships. Therapy was the best thing that has ever happened to me...such a life changing thing. Another reason I don't want kids is because I feel like I will go back to my old ways and start acting the same way to my kids and I don't want that to happen because it can really mess up a human being. My sister also had an addiction to pills because of the issues with my dad. Luckily she is doing better today but she still acts crazy and strange....

brij2006 · June 2015

@jessica490 That sounds all too familiar. Our relationship bettered after I moved out, and has become great since the day I got engaged. I have gone to therapy for it, because at one point I was beginning to treat my H the same way my dad treated me. I knew it wouldn't end well for either one of us, and I knew it wasn't good that I was taking after him with my temper and attitude.

As far as the fear of having kids and going back to old ways. I really was afraid of this as well. But our DD is 4 months old now, and any time I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed with things I just repeat to myself "patience." It's stupid, but it helps. I know that my dad never had patience for us kids, and was just hyper and easy to anger. Which I can be, but have surprised myself with how empathetic and patient I am with our daughter. Even my H has commented on how much I have surprised him with all of it.
So it is possible, and the thing that helps is constantly telling myself that I'm breaking the cycle. Both my mom and dads' side of the family grew up this way, and my grandparents did as well. So it's something I'm passionate about not continuing for the next generation. Which has made it a lot easier to do.

1) I have ridden in a stunt airplane doing loops and flying upside down and other tricks you only see at air shows. Growing up my parents were on staff of a local air show so we (my sister and I) usually got to ride in some of the non-military planes every few years. I've also ridden in an open cockpit bi-wing.

2) I've been para-gliding in the Swiss Alps (tandem with a guide but the guide also answered his cell phone while we were up in the air). This was during the summer I spent in Europe studying abroad. I received 12 semester hours and visited Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg (home base for 6 weeks), France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Russia (both Moscow and St. Petersburg) and England.

3) I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie, I love to snorkle, zip line, go white water rafting, play on surfing simulators on cruises and other interesting things that don't involve jumping out of a plane or bungie cords.

4) I'm an HGTV addict.

jessica490 · June 2015

@brij2006 I'm glad to hear things are going well for you and your family now! And I'm glad someone else knows what its like to go through something like that

short+sassy · June 2015

@hoffse, every time my H or I talk to people from our hometowns...he is originally from OR, I'm from CA...they tell us, "Oh, you have a southern accent now!" I don't hear it at all either for myself or for him. My H is TERRIFIED of all birds, but he doesn't know why.

I found out a few years ago when I went to the eye doctor that I have a blank spot in my eye. The doc told me what basically happened is, in utero, my eye just didn't form at all in that spot. He told me it was pretty far to the side, but was still surprised I couldn't see it. A little more in and I would have had a small white dot in everything I saw.

@brij2006 and @jessica490, kudos to both of you for recognizing there could be a problem within your own families based on your upbringings and going to therapy to nip it in the bud.

I was the 3rd graduating class from Cal State University at San Marcos (north San Diego county). It was a new Cal State school at the time. I was also a founding member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority chapter there.

If I do say so myself...I have a really good singing voice. Pure luck, no training involved. I've won two karaoke contests. Plus, I took a cruise a few years ago, and for the evening's entertainment, they were doing a "mock" American Idol where passengers were the singers. About 125 people tried out and I was one of five chosen to be in the event that night.

As it turned out, the event was in the main showroom! There were hundreds of passengers in attendance. I'm usually not nervous in front of a crowd, but had never been in front of one that big before. That was a bit nerve wracking, but I just pretended they weren't there. The ship gave me a bottle of champagne for my participation. For the rest of the cruise, I was like a mini celebrity and I ended up meeting a lot of other passengers because they would come up to me and talk to me about the show. It was fun!

My H initially came from an abusive family, though he doesn't remember it. His mother married young and had four sons. She realized she needed to get herself and her sons out of the situation, but felt the only way to do it was to put them all up for adoption. He was adopted when he was four, but has no memories before that age. In adulthood, he found one of his brothers and his mother. He has met them and sporadically keeps in contact with them.

My H is 10 years older than me and has a B.S. in Mathematics. It would have been in computer science...because he has been involved in computer tech jobs (programming, database admin., etc.) since the early 80s...except there were no degrees for that yet!

Mustard76 · June 2015

- H and I HATED each other when we first met. It's not super exciting or anything, it just makes for a really funny story how we went from not being able to stand the sight of each other to falling in love.

- I love to entertain and I love to feed people. At my last office (before we transferred out of state) I had staff meetings every Monday. For my first meeting, I made breakfast and just had a GTKY meeting. Everyone loved the breakfast, so it just became a thing; I made breakfast for my team every Monday morning for my whole tenure at that office. On my last day, my staff had a potluck breakfast farewell with all my favorite foods.

als1982 · June 2015

Outside of work, my life is pretty boring, but I've had the opportunity to have a lot of unique experiences and meet a lot of amazing people through my job.

abrewer5 · June 2015

I can relate to what some are saying here.. My father was physically and verbally abusive growing up as well. Never towards me (or my sister), but my mother and his other wives. I think he knew my mom would (literally) kill him if he ever laid a finger on my sister and I. When I was 6 and my sister was 7 he kidnapped us to take us on vacation, but wouldn't tell anyone where we were going and wouldn't let us call our mom for 10 days. The cops searched for us but didn't find us, and somehow he never got in legal trouble for it. I just got home yesterday from my first trip with him since, 18 years later. It was a lot better than I expected! I can also see some similarities in my attitude towards my H at times, which needs to be addressed.

For a more fun fact-- I'm obsessed with 101 Dalmatians the movie and the animal. You would think at 24 I would have outgrown it by now, but nope. I even made my dog a fleece tie blanket when JoAnn Fabrics came out with 101 Dalmatian fleece. Growing up I had everything dalmatian-- shoes, blankets, curtains, clothes, toys, etc. I am super jealous of @formerlyGDaisy09 and her gorgeous pups!! When I finally get a house with a big yard I plan on getting one.

Xstatic3333 · June 2015

It's hard to think of things that I haven't mentioned yet, but here goes nothing:

Since I see there are some fellow adrenaline junkies here, I have been skydiving and bungee jumping. I can't say I'd do either again. I consider myself somewhat afraid of heights, but it felt good to conquer that fear.

Related, I was terrified to fly in high school and college and only made myself get over it my senior year.

Also related, I hate driving over the Pell Bridge to Newport, RI (New Englanders should know what I'm talking about) and will go weird back ways to avoid it. Other bridges I'm fine with.

I have a severe tree nut allergy and carry an epi-pen. I haven't had to use it as of yet, but there have been times that it was close. Because of this, I really feel for kids with allergies and get stabby when people aren't sympathetic of them.

H and I are both only children. When I was younger I wanted a huge family, but now as I get older I'm not so sure. If I'm honest with myself I'd like to be one-and-done, but I fear leaving our child without siblings or cousins, so I'm not sure how things will ultimately pan out. H loved being an only. I didn't really, but I had introverted parents who hated doing "kid" stuff with me so I think that played in a bit.

I just started gardening this year and am getting pretty obsessed with it. Every morning I run outside to see if my teensy little tomatoes have gotten any bigger.

I decided to become a vegetarian when I was 9. I brought back seafood in college, which has made life a lot easier. Even though some of the reasons I became a vegetarian no longer hold, I feel no desire for non-fish meat and never crave it so I'll probably stay this way. I try to be a "non-judgy" vegetarian and not make myself a pain about it, so a lot of times friends will forget and offer me a burger.

dragonstarjk · June 2015

I also had a verbally abusive father. He wasn't physically abuse to us, but he did have an explosive temper, smashing holes in walls, throwing things, breaking dishes, cussing up a storm. This is now the reason why I never swear and hardly ever raise my voice, and if H does, I have to remind him that I can't communicate with him that way. He is very respectful of that and even in the middle of an argument, he will tone it down if I remind him that its freaking me out. I have a relationship with my dad now; I wouldn't call it great but it's okay. It will probably never be closer. I have way too many things about my family to talk about here, so that's all I'm gonna say about that .

I think I have OCD. I know a lot of people joke about that, but I really think I might have mild OCD. I probably wouldn't go to a therapist about it unless it ever interfered with my life, which it doesn't. There are just a lot of little things, such as--I hate when my sofa, coffee table, and area rug are not lined up with the lines on the hardwood floor. Once I notice it, I can't stop thinking about it until it's fixed. I am also obsessive about my office at work. Every day I come in and I have to fix the stuff that the cleaning crew has moved. Even if it is just an inch off, it bugs me. Everything goes in the same place, every day. I literally feel like I can't do any work until everything is in its place.

I'm not really a dog person. H is a huge dog person, which is why we have dogs. I absolutely love our dogs to pieces and they are like my children. However, I don't really care for most other dogs (ha!) and I probably wouldn't have a dog if I was single.

I feel like these are all negative things and I wish I could think of something nice to say about myself, but my brain is fried

MommyLiberty5013 · June 2015

Hhmmm very interesting.

My great grandfather was a famous magician. And, I grew up hearing my grandpa tell stories about birds and bunnies in their bathroom. My mom who is now a retired RN, went to a year of clown college with her good friend. After "school," which by the way had a formal graduation ceremony and was by far, probably the weirdest event I have ever attended in my life, they would go to events and parties for extra money on the side. Her name was "Hearts." Her friend's name was, "Skeeter." Hearts was silent. After the clown phase was over, my sister and I used parts of her costume over the years for various other things....the huge red shoes were a lot of fun.

As an elementary school-aged kid I loved doing book reports and school projects. Mine were very crafty and I always got A's. Teachers couldn't wait to see what I would bring in (and my classmates were always jealous). That was when stores like Michael's and JoAnn's got their fingers into me as a customer for life and I was bitten by the craft bug!

DH and I met on e-Harmony. He lived in Boulder, CO and I was in Richmond, VA. When we got married, e-Harmony sent us a Tiffany glass bowl as a wedding gift.

In 2009, I almost drown while white water rafting the New River in WV (Class 4 and 5 rapids). I fell out and was trapped under the raft. We have the whole thing on video. It's weird watching DH and my BFF and her DH scanning the water for me to pop back up. You can see the panic on their faces. Sometimes I have nightmares.

In first grade, we had to write a letter to a famous person asking them for a letter back and a pen. I wrote to Richard Nixon. He wrote back and also sent me a pen from when he was in the WH. This was in the mid to late 80's.

jessica490 · June 2015

@dragonstarjk I do have a touch of OCD as well...It bugs me when things are crooked etc. I also remember when I was younger...maybe 10-12 yrs old, that I REALLY had OCD for a while. I would check light switches and the oven knobs multiple to make sure they were really off, I wouldn't step on cracks, I would count things....my parents never knew and I really had no idea it was a problem but thank god it went away on it's own somehow. The memories of it are very short and vague but I'm surprised I just stopped doing it....

formerlyGDaisy09 · June 2015

This is nice! thanks for starting @Hoffse

I don't know if I have anything all that interesting...but I will try.

I spent my summers as a child on my grandparent's Christmas Tree Farm. now I still visit and love watching my dog run through all the trees (some that I helped plant). I make my own wreaths every Christmas, and can make the bow too.

If you were to come to my house you'd find crafts everywhere...I'm a big DIYer, and a little ADD with my crafts. at the moment my DIY to-do list stands at: finish knitting pair of socks, finish knitting cables scarf, finish quilting a quilt and add binding, make 2 more roman shades for the dining room, make covers for dog crates. I've also got dhalias and gladiolous I'm hoping to get in the ground in the next week for some late season blooms...and my vegetable garden always needs weeding.

in addition to crafts I'm a big baker, I make my own bagels, there's usually some kind of quick bread to be eaten, I'll often make my own dinner rolls, my cookies are famous among our various social circles, baking is basically the only thing I actively use my degree in chemistry for right now.

My close friends have a long-term bet that in retirement I'll open a B&B that is some kind of rescue animal farm too. I'm Ok with that plan.

about H:

H is a 3rd degree black belt (in some states he has to register himself as a deadly weapon)

H's parents were very young when he was born (his mom was 19 and his dad was 22), they never really got themselves well established with stable jobs, they opened a lot of their own businesses and weren't very smart with money, and they've never really figured it out. His family was on and off food stamps and other forms of government assistance. I have to remind myself of that a lot. even now, when we're 30 and almost 28, we're more stable than H's parents have ever been.

bridejl · June 2015

@jessica490 Same here! I walked to school in late elementary, and I would count the steps. I also used to count out words & sentences in groups of 3 in my head. Drove me nuts, so I forced myself to stop over time.

I still have some OCD tendencies, which doesn't mesh well with with H's ADHD tendencies, lol. I really think H has undiagnosed ADHD, he's always moving, can't focus, etc. It's difficult for me to deal with because I'm completely opposite and it affects our communication/decision-making abilities. At this point, I don't think it's worth it to check it with a doctor, as H is one who would use the diagnosis label as an excuse instead of trying to overcome it.

When I finally get a house with a big yard I plan on getting one.

I am also obsessed, obviously we purchased the recent Diamond Edition of the animated movie that was released earlier this year. We sat down on Christmas and watched it with our dog. It's become a bit of a tradition that we watch one fo teh dalmatian movies on our dog's birthday, she is more interested in the one with the real dogs, probably because the barking is real.

We just have a little yard, and haven't found that to be a problem, so far. We do live 10 mintues from 2 different dog parks (one isn't opened yet, but I'm on the board of directors for the non-profit building the park). We also are very active, we run with the dogs, and take them skijoring in the winter, on off days they get a good 2-3 mile walk. They can be trained to run up to 25 miles, they were breed to be carriage dogs to run with the horses and then to keep the horses company upon reaching their destination...that's how they became firedogs, then the water tanks were pulled by horses they'd run out front and bark to get people out of the way, then they'd take the horses away from the fire and keep them calm.

when they have an energy outlet they're just the sweetest dogs, I call them my velcro-dogs, the new male is particularly attached, he wants to be right next to you all the time, if you go in a room and close the door he'll lie on the other side until you come back. They're also very very smart.

als1982 · June 2015

Random: My two biggest fears are flying and vomit.

TravelJunkie1234 · June 2015

These are all really interesting to read!

Let's see...I grew up with my mom and grandparents for the most part, none of who spoke English, so I ended up speaking 3 languages before I went to kindergarten and learned English. I grew up with a dad who had a short temper and was verbally abusive and also very distant. He was always traveling for work and away on international business trips, so I only ever saw him for maybe one weekend a month (sometimes it was as long as a week), so it wasn't all that bad. But those few days when he was home were always intense.

Also, stray animals (mostly cats) somehow manage to find me. I have a family of 5 cats living in my backyard right now and I have woken up to stray dogs sleeping on my front porch. When we went on vacation a few months ago 2 random stray cats started following me around wherever I went. My MIL didn't believe me until we went out to lunch the other day and a random cat came out of nowhere and sat down on the patio under my chair. He then followed us out to my car and tried to get in with us. Like it's seriously really weird! DH calls me the cat whisperer, lol.

I've been a vegetarian since I was about 8 years old, and I love white water rafting, bungie jumping, and things like that. Kayaking, surfing, sailing, basically anything that gets me out on the water. I have a nasty scar on my shoulder and knees from where I fell off my surfboard when I was about 13. I took a tumble off my board and got flipped around by the current and got smacked up against some coral. I don't remember much of it aside from my mom freaking out, and me getting wrapped up like a mummy in gauze.

DH is terrified of geese. He is also currently working towards getting his pilot's license and would like to get his scuba certifiation. He grew up in a very small town up in the Colorado mountains (like it takes 5 minutes to drive to the other side of town!) and we always like to compare stories about how different life was for us when we were little.

@abrewer5 and @formerlyGDaisy09, I read an article shortly after the film came out, where they interviewed Glenn Close about it. Although she loved being in the movie, she said one of the disappointing things was...because she was such a mean character in the film...offset, all the puppies she worked with were afraid of her and would cringe away from her if she tried to pet them.

short+sassy · June 2015

Interesting to read all the OCD tics. I kind of wonder if we all have them to some extent or another. I sometimes have to check things in my purse over and over again. If I am especially stressed out, I can't help but focus on a group of items and have to count them a few times.

Another tic, that gets more frequent if I am stressed, is touching the windshield wiper lever. I don't turn it on. I don't actually hold onto it. I touch it, put my hand on the window, touch it, put my hand on the window. I usually don't even realize I am doing it.

They'd both give her kisses.

vlagrl29 · June 2015

Me - I went to a music conservatory and received a BA in Music and an Education license to teach Instrumental music, BUT I much prefer being my own boss and teaching privately. I'm in love literally with yoga and I just nailed a handstand yesterday. I love an organized and clean house and it's been hard for me to adjust to all the toys DD has. I told DH that after we have a 2nd kid grandparents either contribute to their savings or keep the toys at their house. I would purge most of our basement if I could but DH says to save it for the next kid so no more toys!! We have a miniature schnauzer that I bought before I knew DH and DH was the only person she never barked at upon first meeting. So I knew DH was a keeper.

DH - He went to the art institute in Denver to get his associates in photography and his pictures are amazing! He really knows what he is doing. He LOVES movies and we have over 400 DVDs in our house with is collection. He is old fashioned when it came to dating - opening doors, pulling my chair out to be seating at restaurants, calling me when he said he would and he is great at spoiling me. Every trip we go on he keeps me on my toes. When we were dating back in 2008 I went with my BF to go see Madonna in concert in Chicago and he surprised us with massages as soon as we got checked into the hotel. I couldn't believe it. He also can negotiate like it's no ones business and loves doing it.

I have one. I definitely don't think I'm clinically OCD, but I have a poem that I have to say out loud to myself before I leave the house every day to remind myself the stove is off. I add in the day of the week to make sure I'm saying it the proper day, and after we got the dog I extended it to include dog-proofing tasks (bathroom door shut, stools pulled away from kitchen island).

If I'm rushing and forget to say the poem, I've been known to drive back home from as much as 20 minutes away, though usually I remember within 5. It's probably more of an anxiety issue than OCD-type thing, as I'm terrified of house fires.

So, OCD...have any of you ever watched the old TBS show, MONK? Tony Shalub plays a character named Adrian Monk, who is a murder detective with severe OCD.

I loved that show! He was so funny with all his little oddities and patterns.

Funny enough, I refused to watch it for the first few seasons it was on because I couldn't stand the character he played on Wings and just assumed I wouldn't like him in another show, but I was wrong.
