Tell me something

about yourself that makes you a remarkable individual.

C'mon...go look in the mirror. Think about the things that you like to do. What sets you apart from everyone else?

I like you. You're quiet and thoughtful and don't fly off at the mere mention of certain 'forbidden' topics. You don't go on and on and on, either. Short and sweet. A lot of your posts are of the 'n/t' variety. You're succint and yet you get your point across.

Personally, I think that's pretty remarkable.

:hi:

to say :hi:

and - I forget what the other 2 are.

Your memory is the second thing you loose when you get old, and I can never remember what the first thing is.

:rofl:

C'mere, you.

:spank:

Quiddit.

You. Rock.

I hate when I do that.

And I hate even more when I don't notice it.

Shit.

x(

for the laptop, and my fingers are taking their own sweet time learning the lay of the land.

What sets me apart?

The odd mixture of tough, independent woman

With the clingy, weepy one........

I got nuthin'....

:shrug:

like you so much?

Redstone

Did I ever tell you that you're a sweetheart?

Well, if I didn't, here's your official notice!

Thank you........I needed that tonight......

I'm in a crappy place now....

:hug:

on the screen porch, and the puppy is welded to my leg, so I don't want to go and answer the phone; she's so peaceful when she's sleeping next to me).

But call if you really need to, of course. I'm here for you.

Redstone

But I don't want to disturb the puppy either......

I'll PM you ........

I appreciate your support a lot........

you are remarkably sweet, tough, friendly, caring, and nice.

You're just feeling sad about something and I'm sorry.

:loveya: :hug:

I'd help if I can

Thank you......you are a sweetheart...

I know you would help if you could.......but you can't ....

The sadness will pass, no worries there.......:hug:

and know that you are loved by many!

good vibes your way my good looking friend!

:loveya: :hug: :yourock:

and a 'my dear' for everyone?

I think that's pretty remarkable.

:hi:

:hug:

My dear reyd reid reed..........

Perhaps you're right.......

I hope so .......

:pals:

:middle finger:

.

You're going to have to elaborate on that one, Ptah...what is that thing? Not the penny -- that one I recognize -- the other....thing.

Pretty cool. Pretty "remarkable".

resusable, too.

Cool.

:hi:

funny

and remarkably cute

and unremarkably a dork!

:rofl:

I'm just the opposite...it's my unremarkableness that's remarkable.

:eyes:

:hi:

:hug:

and I can learn a hell of a lot about a person in a short period of time just by listening to what they have to say

Now some of the voices in my head are wondering aloud if you're a shrink.

I am a clinical social worker

hi voices!

my voices are having a party tonight!

:hug:

Although the co-dependent voice was rather hoping you were.

Uh oh, the anti-social voice just said something I best not repeat...

Oh, never mind. The homicidal voice just offed him.



:hi:

and we have decided that if we are to meet with you for psychotherapy

we wil charge you group rates (which are less per person) but a group charge for each voice.
:pals:

how do you get yours to stop doing that? Sometimes I can just give them some coffee and get them to play a nice game of chess but they've gotten into a pretty nasty argument this time. The two on one side are yelling at the two on the other side, who sometimes start yelling at each other.

Hmmm, maybe chess is too competitive for your guys. Maybe try some team-building execises, get them working together toward a common goal, you know? And if that doesn't work... I dunno. Maybe give them all individual projects, like fingerpainting or something. And if all else fails, take one of the big pink pills. Heck, take two.


:hi:

That sounds nice. I know at least two of them would like that. But the British one is so stuck-up I don't think he'd like to. He's the one who keeps arguing WITH the other voice he sided with, but that's understandable, because that other voice is pretty radical.

:rofl:

I keep telling my kids they can learn a WHOLE lot more with their ears open than they can with their mouths open.

:hi:

:hug:

but they might have flies land in their mouth

:hug: :loveya:

hi sweetie reidie

Tell me about it. I learned the hard way. When I was a tweener, we lived in Alabama for a while. The deal was, I couldn't babysit for other people unless and until I could control my own brothers. I was standing in the kitchen one night when my parents were out, yelling at them over something -- when a moth flew into my mouth.

*shudder*

After that I didn't yell. As much.

I bet you were washing your mouth out after that!

I'm picturing a big moth flying in your mouth

tickling your mouth and you shuddering and spitting it out and running to the sink to rinse your mouth out!

just as a hobby? :shrug:








:P

hobby that is?

I annoy you?

:cry:


I'm speechless?

:rofl:

(not)

being speechless. :o

I'm a fairly shy person IRL

:eyes:

many here who can say that ;-)



I tend to talk more than I write. :-)

overly talkative self who comes out once I know someone, then he won't shut the hell up.

I'm less shy than I used to be and I sometimes compensate through wearing different costumes (figuratively not literally)

:pals:

eyes

and sense of humor

and a sense of making people feel good

and you are my friend which is remarkable in itself! LOL

:hug:

somehow...'nothing' and 'barenakedlady'...equals pretty remarkable, I'd say.

C'mon...give me something...go look in the mirror, come back and tell me what you see.

she posts, so she must exist

and she is remarkable. Her kids are a testament to that

:loveya: :hug: :hug:

I've seen a picture of you. I've seen pictures of hands and feet and fingers and elbows and hair and once even your face. You're lovely...you're gorgeous. And you have a kind heart to go with it.

And I'll bet that there isn't a person on this board who would disagree with me.

So. There.

Nyah.

:hug:

Redstone

BNL is gorgeous, and she is kind and sensitive.

and she has body parts that she posts pics of

But she's also posted pics of herself.

Nyah is right

Yes she deserves all the hugs we can send her.

Greener when inside, browner when outside.

Does that work for you?

Redstone

one of my eyes is half brown and half green. (the other one is green)

which one is green?

right or left?

I can't remember which one though, I'd have to go look in the mirror.

you can see designs in them, and everyone's are unique, and they eyes are the windows of something or other (soul)

:hug: :hug:

I know that people with one blue eye and one brown eye tend to have hearing problems (as do dogs with the same setup, amazingly enough).

Redstone

:rofl:

Redstone

"I was born this way."

:rofl:

Redstone

LOL. For the most part, yes, that satisfies them. :) Thanks for asking.

Sounds like quite the combination. But then, you're quite a guy, so I'm not surprised.

:hug:

:hi:

I'll even smile for you for saying that:


Redstone

like that picture. I've probably told you that before, but I think it's my favorite.

:hug::loveya::hug:

You warm my old heart, you do.

Hey, how did you guys in the Springs make out with those snowstorms? We all heard that Denver got plastered, but nothing about the southern part of the state.

Redstone

and the side streets are still pretty nasty. The end of the driveway is a mess. The storm that came through before Christmas hadn't finished melting before we got smacked again last week, but at least the second one last week missed us. Hammered the hell out of the southeast and eastern plains, though. They're still digging out and hunting for their cattle to feed 'em out there.

We might get more on Friday.

Yippee.

:eyes:

If anyone ever wants to read some of my garbage, I'd be willing to share it with them. Maybe.

it's one of my favorite things. There's just something about the written word...something evocative and sensual and just...wonderful.

:hug:

I've written stories so far...unedited and rough, of course, but sensuality is definitely a big part of my writing...I need to write more...it's been VERY difficult to get the motivation together :P
:hug:
I am trying to improve. To learn. To grow. As a writer and a person.

and then write. And write. And write some more. Then, when you finish that, write something else. There really isn't any other way to learn than by doing, I think.

I'm motivated...I love doing it and I like to think I'm pretty good at it...my problem is a lack of discipline. I can always find something else to do. Something else to read. Something to clean. An argument to break up...

...and then there's DU and various other internet distractions.

I've written two novels, started a third and I've got a non-fiction series that I'm trying (albeit sporadically) to market, and I've probably got a couple hundred short stories in various stages of completion, from "Yech" to polished. The novels need work. Lots and lots of work.

I've got a new project that's still in the 'hmmmmmm' stages...my goal is to get that one out and on paper by the end of the year, along with a proposal and enough of it polished to start pestering agents again.

:P

You will never meet anyone like me.

:rofl:

are absolutely, 100%, correctamundo.

Damn skippy.

:hi:

And as I've said before, I have no idea why.

I've remarked that you are remarkable a remarkable number of times.

:loveya: :hug:

:hug:

:hug:

I think that's reason enough, don't you?

:hug:

:hug:

Does that count?

and I'm sorry.

:hug::hug::hug:

I don't appear to look anything like Idi Amin.

I am not a penguin.

I have a face that only a mother could love, but my mother is dead.

My children have defied the laws of probability and managed to look like their mother.

since you have children, I'd venture to guess that not only your mother loves you.

And not being shot in the face by Chainsaw sounds like an outstanding start.

:hi:

:D

I've always been set apart from others much of the time, sometimes by me, sometimes by them, and sometimes just by the way things are, sometimes to my detriment. Some of the things that set me apart are accomplishments or the results and byproducts of certain adventures, but if I'm looking deeper, closer to the root of it all, a big one would be absolute conviction that I can do anything. Not that this is unique -- it may be partly a result of this mindset of mine clouding my vision through projection, but I believe that most of us (if not all) could do a lot more than we think possible of ourselves and I can count among my acquaintances many people who I believe could do literally anything, and do it well, if they turned their energies toward whatever activity it is.

I also seem to have a degree of personal charisma, something I was told by others long before I reviewed the way my presence has seemed to affect people ever since childhood and decided that perhaps there was something to this charisma thing. I've never been a social person, a pack animal, a group member, or however else you want to describe it, so this alleged charisma has only rarely played a part in overt leadership and that kind of thing and more often just kind of leaves a trail of people behind me who have noticed me and will remember me. I was oblivious to much of that stuff for most of my life, until I started hearing from people about it. It's natural and I wouldn't even know how to force it if I wanted to...I think it's just something some people have, and a few years ago (when I realized I had some of it) I really began to notice it at full force in my father. Yes, ladies, I am at your reproductive service as a carrier of the Mojo gene... :D

:eyes:

J/K!

I guess it has something
To do with the way
That I fill out my skintight blue jeans...

:P

That could be it, certainly.

:P








:popcorn:





Carry on...

I get better looking each day.


No, really...to know me is to love me


(I must be a hell of a man)



:D

:eyes:













:pals:

It's hard to be humble...

When you're perfect in every way.......

Ad nauseam.........

That is one funny song!

:yourock:

Want it, learn it, do it. I've always tried to live like that. There isn't anything that I can't do and do well if I set my mind to it and really want it, and I think that's true of almost everyone. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses but I think that the biggest weakness of all is fear of failure and that's one fear that I absolutely refuse to give in to. On occasion I'll give in to my other fears...the lightbulb at the top of the stairs will stay burned out for a week or more, until someone else changes it (though I've done the Grand Canyon thing, ridden in those cable-car-gondola thingies in the Swiss Alps, been on ski lifts, and done the Royal Gorge bridge)...but I won't confess to failing at something I want to do. I might have to work at it, but...

Now the charisma thing I seem to be singularly lacking in. Oh well...can't have everything, I s'pose.

:shrug:

And I have. :D

I could now, but I wouldn't.

:D

And vodka.

I hope it's not strawberry.

:D

But I am obsessed with Cookies and Cream. :thumbsup:

I also like rum raisin. Or chocolate. Or vanilla (with maple syrup).

:D

Even the green kind, or the kind with mint candy. Ice cream is about the only place I like mint. Have you eaten banana ice cream? I'm asking because I don't like bananas but banana ice cream is darn fine.

:D

Oh, you meant easy in another way. :D

:rofl:

not together, I hope. That would curdle.

alcoholic. That's just wrong :)

can't do it anymore

when I was younger, and my metabolism was higher

then the age factor changed all that somewhere along the way.

I'd still love to do it.

Especially a really good pizza.

:yourock:

:D

I'd probably not be able to lie down for the entire night

and feel like I'd eaten a pound of salt and be incredibly thirsty

and feel like I'd gained 10 lbs and probably have

and no doubt have indigestion.

See what a drag it is getting old!

Enjoy your youth, youth is wasted on the young! ROFL

B-)

they'd have to drag out the wheelbarrow to get me moved.

:)

and you are too!

:hug: :loveya:

Good on you for raising such a good kid.

Redstone

:)

both of you are, actually. And both of you lucked out. She's gorgeous...and so are you. And girly-poo saw that picture of the two of you together and even she says y'all look alike.

:hug:

:)

Give girley-poo a big ol hug. :hug:

slow night this evening, huh? :rofl:

you goose

:rofl: :hug:

Really, though...there's something remarkable about everyone. Ev-e-ry-one. Every single one of us has a feature or a characteristic that sets us apart from everyone else.

C'mon...what's yours? Or, rather, what do You think yours is?

That oughta tell ya. ;)



But then, you already knew that.

;)

and I think that isn't enough and keep buying more...

oh, wait, maybe that makes me certifiable...

:crazy:

RL

What would make you certifiable -- albeit borderline (because I could see myself doing it) -- would be if you refused to part with any of the 32,000 and STILL kept buying more.

And more.

And more.

And more...

Can't have too many books. Just can't. Impossible.

:hi:

aA

You're not remarkable, you're extraordinary. :)

:pals:

You are the most remarkably kind and supportive person I've met on DU. "...nuthin' remarkable" my ass! :hug:

that you're you and don't think that you're remarkable.

Trust me...you are. You rock.

:hug::hi::hug:

I'll have none of that talk, young lady!

You are kindness and compassion personified. And a hoot. And the biggest sweetheart I know. :loveya:

Most of the time they're deep green, but sometimes I can find specks of grey and blue in them too.

The only other people I've known who have eyes like mine are my mother and my grandmother.

Do the specks depend on what you're wearing?

:hug::hi:

depending on my mood. And thank you. :)

I guess the most interesting thing I can say about me is that I’ve been interested in politics and history –and have followed the two on a daily basis –since I was eight and my whole life revolves around research and learning about the two topics. I read Nancy Reagan’s autobiography when I was ten, Ronald Reagan’s autobiography when I was the same age, read the first of Richard Nixon’s books when I was ten and had finished Richard Nixon’s autobiography when I was 13. I became actively involved in a political party when I was 15 and have stayed actively involved ever since and all my local Members of Parliament knew me by sight by the time I was 16 –and the national leader of the party knew me by sight by the time I was 17. I had written letters to two US presidents (Reagan and Clinton) by the time I was twelve –Reagan’s office sent me a photograph and President Clinton’s office sent me an automated response but coincidentally he took the advice on foreign policy that I gave him

I lived in Southeast Asia during my youth and, although I went to a British expatriate school, they made sure that we became acquainted with almost all the religions and cultures that existed in my country. We used to visit different places of worship, see various types of lifestyles and eat different kinds of food associated with different ethnicities and religions. So I become acquainted with different cultures and religions from an early age

OK, ok, I’m struggling to come up with anything that makes me a remarkable individual

and a fascinating one, at that.

I'm impressed.

:hi:

:hug:

you have a wisdom beyond your years, and a centredness that very few have. :hi:

:)

:hug: :hi:

:hi:

my enthusiasm and my ability to be in the present. That also translates as to being sort of an open book - everything I'm thinking or feeling is reflected in my facial expressions or body language. I don't hide things very well.

I'm also a pretty damn good crib player. :D

I tend to close myself off if I'm not careful. I'll be open for a while and then WHAM!!! It's like my kids and doors.

And I'm a better crib builder. Lots of practice assembling the damn things...

:eyes:

I could probably pass a lie detector test I'm such a closed book. And I seriously suck at crib....like...seriously.

...how cute I look in this pink Adidas skull cap!!! :rofl:

but I'm not sure that has been a good strategy

I think it is an admirable trait. :thumbsup:

"kick me" sign taped to your ass though . . .

I think that's the best strategy. It's bad enough when you hurt someone unintentionally but, when you do it deliberately, that really sucks.

I have never been suprised by anyone. I find each person more predictable than the next. I also can control my emotions and my reponses to other people almost absolutely. Basically, I show only emotions that I want to show. I'm also extremely good at lying (although, oddly enough, I abhor lying most of the time). If i wanted to, I could easily become an accomplished con man. But I'm not a sociopath...I'm too darn moral to do it.

On edit: Oh..and I have an intense hatred for phones. Can't stand talking on one. I keep all conversation to less than 5 minutes. I refuse to own a cellphone or pager. REFUSE. Its almost pathological. After analyzing myself, I determined that I hate phones for the reason above...I can't read faces on the phone. It makes me extremely uncomfortable not seeing faces. The same goes for online messaging. Its made it hard for me to keep in touch with people.....

uncanny. Most of the time I'm a fairly good judge of character, but I can be fooled. Sometimes I'm too gullible or idealistic or something. I tend to take people at their word -- always -- until they lie to me or hurt me, then I put this wall up that rivals the Great Wall of China.

And there are very few people that I'll talk to on the phone for more than five minutes or so. It's not a thing like yours, but for the most part I like to say what I have to say and then hang up. Same thing with online messaging. Like the phone, the list of people I'll spend time talking to online is very, very short. Of course, those people will get their ears yakked off.

:P

The only reason I'm even telling anybody here this is because I'm pretty sure I probably won't meet anyone here.

Basically, I can read muscle movements. When I was about 12, I was at the grocery store with my parents. There were two guys standing at the entrance close to where we were waiting for a cab (inside the store). I told my mom..."can we go? Those guys are thinking of doing something bad." I could tell they were going to do something, but I wasn't sure what...they were trying way to hard to hide something. I was very suprised when my mom and the other people around me weren't paying attention to them. My mom said it was too cold, and basically shushed me.

10 minutes later, the guys robbed the Armored Cash truck that made a stop there. I had to go to the police station to make a statement. The cops were pretty impressed with my descriptions.

Three feet and 17 thumbs..And none of them are green :mad:

You, darlin', are quite a looker. Now, wipe off that red face, put away those extra thumbs and that third foot and massage your neck. You're tense today.

What's up?

:hug::hug::hug:

:blush:
not up to much just working thats all :hug:

:shrug:

I miss them.

You're very talented, y'know.

:hug::hug::hug:

Thank you. :hug:

:loveya:

I remember, a while back, when you said you were having a rough time with them...they weren't coming as effortlessly and you weren't happy with them. That's passed, hasn't it?

How's the car-alarm situation? Any better?

:hug::loveya::hug:

I just haven't done one, is all. It is a significant effort of scarce free time to do one - I enjoy it, but it just takes a certain amount of motivation to do another one. I am trying to get one started at the moment, though.

I didn't hear anything from the car alarm last night, fortunately. :hug:

I know I've begged before, and I'm going to keep it up until you acquiese or tell me to FO!! :D

:hug: :hi:

Ooh, I'll be in a constant state of happy anticipation until it happens! :swoons: :loveya:

Seriously, I am like savant-good at that game. Don't know why. :shrug:

the classic version? That's my favorite game EVER. I rock at that puppy. During baseball season, I'll kick back in a chair with one of the kids' gameboy and Tetris and a cup of coffee and the ballgame and, I'm tellin' ya...I'm in heaven.

and even on a cell phone. In fact, I had to get a new cell phone because I literally wore out the keys on my old one playing Tetris. On the new one, I didn't DL it. :D I'm an addict.

didn't download it on my new one, though. I'll get sucked in again...I wonder if there's a 12-step program for us?

:P

:D

"so weird." The antonym for weird is "natural," so by extension, I am "unnatural". I suppose that is some degree of "remarkable".

:rofl:

funny how being natural has become weird and, therefore, almost unnatural.

Go figger.

:shrug:

For what it's worth, I think that you ROCK.

:hug::hug::hug:

and there's only one. :) :hi:

That's the best thing about each one of us. We're all individuals. And you, woman, are the best.

:hug::hug::hug::loveya::hug::hug::hug:

and made me blush. thank you, dearest. we'll argue over who is the best some other day. ;)

:yourock: :loveya: :hug: :hug: :loveya: :yourock:

:pals:

And we're so very glad.

you're You. the world is a better place because of it. :pals:

:hug:

And, yes, there is only one!

So, Ad design companies, web site designer companies, and even Agents Mike and Carol, if you need somebody with that skill please ask for my resume AND portfolio! I'm getting my act in gear and 2007 is going to be full of cheer!

I'm also good with color, very funny, technically competent, and am even exercising again! (and single too, *hint* *nudge* )

:P

:rofl:

and i am way freakin cool, plus i have chiseled atomic buttocks

:P

I mean, I already know that you rule the Earth and are way freakin cool. But I need proof of the chiseled atomic buttocks.

No really...I do...I am the High Priestess at the altar of Abe Vigoda so you must do my bidding.

33, or even 23. :hi: Yeah, I've got a fine line or two, but so what? :D Taking care of myself has paid off. :)

you are much better than you were at 23


well at least I can say you are a very nice looking lady now

I can't remember 23 well enough to remember, but you were hawt then, as now!

:loveya: :hug:

:hi: :* :loveya: :D

and feel the same. I'd like to lose five or ten pounds, but...

:shrug:

:hug::hug:

:hi: You're happy with yourself, and that's what counts. :toast: :bounce:

:loveya: :hug:

thats a hard one to figure...I would say, some of the things that sets me apart, I go the extra mile...

If someone is in trouble/needs help, I help them, but I go that extra mile, to insure that the situation is well taken care of, while providing all options for comfort, and support...one of the most common compliments I get from people is, that I surprise them by my gratitude, and for thinking/caring about them...

you seem like that kind of kind, generous, thoughtful, caring person. Isn't it sad when people like you are the exception, rather than the rule? There's not enough kindness in the world.

And I have very good personal hygiene. B-)

Don't forget your uncanny knack for bringing Shakespeare to the masses.

You ROCK!!!

:hug::loveya::hug:

to the masses; I just spurred a revival, that's all. :-)

I really do look forward to those threads every day.

:hug::loveya::hug:

:loveya: Who could argue with that impressive list? :hi: :bounce:

:*

:hi:

I wanted to tell you yet again how hot your pic is in the 80's/90's pic thread. But the line to ogle the photo was too long! ;-)

:hug:

:blush: Thanks, sweetie! :D The days of big hair and bare feet.... :P

to go to college.

But the remarkable part is that my undergraduate GPA was around 2.2.

I was in school at the time of the draft - so I know the military was going to be a part of my future. So I worked just hard enough to graduate, get a commission, and go to flight school. Why strain. My future was planned for me.

So I got lucky with some good GRE scores, got into grad school. Decided to study and make some grades. Things got a bit easier academically after that.

And have they served you well?

Precinct delegate.

largely bilaterally symmetrical.

Uh...
And...
My socks don't match.

I would violate the spirit of the question I just asked in the Lounge.

The list is kinda long, I am very unique :)

Tops are:

1) I'm brilliant (certified genius)
2) I learn faster than anyone I know
3) I'm an exceptional artist of many media

oh, and did I mention modest to a fault

:blush:
