How well do you know your Nesties?
Most of us have been on here for years and some of us lurk and rarely post. So lets see how well we all know each other!
Post something you know about a fellow Nestie. If that Nestie is mentioned in one post and you would like to still comment its ok.

Re: How well do you know your Nesties?
I'll start
AltheaP loves to travel, she loves beer and she loves the Steelers!
Squeesh hates people who throw money on the counter & her neighbors once tried to hook a hose to her house & steal her water.
AT is my long lost twin because she likes the same books, movies, & music as I do...it's both funny & creepy.
Derky sometimes has different opinions from the mainstream about politics and I'm always interested in what she has to say, even if she did have a Hulk Hogan poster as a child.
Everam's dog Cocoa once ate a wall. Whenever one of my animals does something destructive, I think 'well, at least it's not a wall'.
Squesh loves Bon Jovi and her obsession with David Bowie matches my own. She's a Lumbee and she has a fiery, awesome spirit! Don't f*ck with her at work lol.
Laud is an absolute genius. She plays the Celtic harp and the guitar. I love how she's able to balance being level headed and down to Earth and mystical all at the same time.
and he tore up her couch once.
also, she has a passion for bedroom toys
Speed would gladly sell her dogs to a Chinese restaurant.
J&T loves my lap dances.
Ahhh, SO true!
KatieB's Christmas card really showed off her DH's package. And hers as well.
AT love Wolves, she likes to Belly Dance and she and her brother have just a little Capt in them.
JennaNAaron's upstairs neighboor is a pothead. Her and her DH are *seriously* looking forward to moving soon.
Shoe's bunnies are very fashionable... they have the best holiday outfits ever.
517B has awesome taste in matching jewelry (*loved* the necklace you were wearing when you came into my store lol), her husband plays a mean guitar, and she's going to own a business making punk rock crutches and wheelchairs.
Poontater is from Turkey and speaks fluent Turkish. Her blog helps me save money on a daily basis. She is a hardcore motocross bike-chick with a love for Xtreme sports. Her recipe for Etli Biber Dolmasi is superb. I will never piss her off because she has my address
Man, you ladies took a lot of my comments, but here's what I can recall:
AT gets her name from the actual style of belly dancing she does AT=a style of belly dance, and she is multi ethnic--her dad is a conservative Jew, but she's got some family from syria ?), and from a few other cool places, which accounts for her beautiful exotic features and her very open-minded, tolerant nature.
KB--in addition to owning the same yellow dress as me, her DH is very much into rennovating and flipping homes--I'm not sure if that's what he does for a living or if it's just a passion of his outside of his normal work. She enjoys taking her dog Ruby out on walks, and occasionally, on runs. She really enjoys her job, but she's so good at it, that it doesn't take up nearly enough of her day (usually). Oh yeah, and she's a native Buckeye.
Uncharch--has 2 part time jobs, used to have 3 but quit the 3rd around the holidays, I think. She really likes one of her jobs, but they can't take her on full-time for whatever reason. She and her DH were/are thinking of moving to Austin, TX next. She's got a very sweet looking dog though.
J & T--another Buckeye on our board, who hasn't been around much lately.
One of her buttons for a while was "Tact is for people not quick enough to be sarcastic" or something like that. Oh yeah, and she likes Diet Coke.
517 is going to be a minister soon! She graduates in May (I think). I won't state a lot of the obvious.
Lalabee has two VERY cute cocker spaniels that she loves to dress up.
Markyslove just moved back down here from NYC.
Derky was on the cycling team in college (Indiana) and goes downhill very fast.
J&T was on the Rachel Ray show. She's also from Ohio.
AltheaP used to work at Starbucks and once went out of her was to help a customer in a wheelchair despite a bunch of b!tchy customers complaining.
Lawren sings at church.
Speed is from Jersey. She's awesome at photography.
Laud makes beautiful cakes.
Slhall730 will be MIA until tax season is over.
KatieG went to Clemson.
Blair makes awesome cake chews and tends to flash people at Nestie parties.
BB--you went to Clemson too-for your undergrad! You are an ER doc, along with your DH and you both like cycling, though your husband does it more--you tend to watch more on TV--and you like native sons Lance and George!! Oh, you just missed the Vuelta while you were studying overseas in Spain. (you are my bike buddy)
Honestly, if I think really hard I can remember some other random stuff about almost everyone. And I'm afraid it will make me seem uh, well "stalker-ish" Anyone else kind of feel that way right now??
I don't feel like a stalker. . .I'm just amazed at how much we all know about each other. . .even if we haven't met IRL.
Derky, I saw one stage of the Vuelta when I was in Spain. I was at a 90 degree turn right before the finish. ..it the rain. It was awesome.
Ok, PHEW. I wasn't sure if there was an imaginary line btwn "caring/listening for people I've never met" and "stalking."
And I was back and forth about the Vuelta. I was like, I think she DID see a stage (that was my first instinct) but then I was thinking, maybe she just missed it and changed it. Hey, but that's freaking awsome and I'm sort of GLAD I had that little tidbit wrong (for your sake!)
Yes! and we found out he wasn't a girl b/c he started humping too. We had to keep them separated for several months. Also, we called him Mabel.
Didn't you have a problem with one of your cats peeing on the carpet? Or was that someone else.
I'm going to have to think about this for a minute.
Laud is an engineer (?) who is like crazy smart and always blows my mind & usually comes down on the same side of a religious topic with me.
I dont think so - we all have known each other for a long time!
I am so bad right off the top of my head. for me it IS hard to remember details without meeting people
(it's kind of funny that the nesties you guys mentioned so far are many of the "old" nesties, many of who I don't see posting much anymore. that makes me sad)
Becky2BWed-is a teacher, and is selling her house to hopefully move closer to Raleigh
Marky-is a runner!
LuckyGirl-has a son that just turned
All three of the above are also in the couples meetup DH and I run.....I knew other stuff about other people, but it was posted....oh and McJamie just had a beautiful baby girl!
Curbside and Squish are Dookies.
I am still sporting my Carolina shirts dispite this SUCKASS season!
Speed - her dogs are super talented and can poop on a staircase.
