    Do you have a nickname?
    -as a child I was called Neetsie Pie, and I'm still Neets. DH calls me Wifers.

    Can you whistle an actual tune?
    -Yes. I can't whistle for a cab tho!

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
    -Ahem. Well, yes. The last one I got was 10 years ago when I was hurrying home to get my DH & kids as my father was close to dying. The cop had no mercy. But since then, I've not had a ticket...can't say that I haven't been pulled over tho!

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?
    -I am a classic first born. Eldest of 3.

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?
    -a boy named David. Everyone seems to remember him as my first boyfriend. He wasn't my first BF, but the first love of my life. And he shattered my heart. I think I married my first husband as a way to get back at him.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
    -Yep.

    Wiggle your ears?
    -Nope.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?
    -Just like Jack Nicholson!!

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?
    -I was 14. He told me I was a terrible kisser!

    Can you speak a language other than English?
    -Solamente Espanol un pequito.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.
    -Oprah Winfrey.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?
    -When I was a kid I won a prize while attending a taping of a television show. I wasn't on the show, the audience got raffle tickets when we came in. I won an artificial Christmas tree & all the trimmings. My mom used that stuff for over 20 years!

    Do you have a nickname?

    Red. (I know. Unexpected, huh?)

    Can you whistle an actual tune?

    Nope. Can barely whistle for my dog.

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?

    I have. Yes.

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?

    First born.

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?

    Have not yet met that person. Hope I never do.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?

    Why......? Oh Why.......? Would I want to????

    Wiggle your ears?

    Again. Not ladylike. No.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?

    Well yes. That is for sarcastic emphasis. I've had friends tell me, "Now don't you raise that eyebrow at me!"

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?

    Ummmmm.....16. I still shudder.

    Can you speak a language other than English?

    No, to my utter shame, I can't. I can carry on something of a conversation in one other language.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.

    Glass tile.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?

    Do you have a nickname?
    Does Honey count?

    Can you whistle an actual tune?
    nope.

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
    Once, back when I was a teenager.

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?
    middle

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?
    Steve, back in high school. He dumped me to date the valedictorian.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
    nope.

    Wiggle your ears?
    nope.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?
    nope.

    I can, however, do "rubber baby buggy bumpers" (the head pat / belly rub game) with ease, read upside-down and backwards, roll my tongue and a few other things.

    Oh yeah - I also have "mutant" thumbs. The top of them barely tops the first joint of my index finger and the last bit flares out. It's actually a rare genetic condition. I've only ever met one other person with thumbs like mine. She had researched it and found out what the "official" name is but I cannot remember what that is.

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?
    Second grade.

    Can you speak a language other than English?
    Not anymore. I used to be able to speak French, German and some Spanish.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.
    Celine Dion, The Titanic movie and a few other things I can't think of at the moment.
    Oh and decorating-wise it would be "creamy white" cabinets.
    But these really aren't "secret" dislikes.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?
    Nope.

    Yeah, I'm kinda boring.

    -I have never been heartbroken.

    Nickname: No
    Whistle: No

    I was called Crinkles in high school because I smile a lot. My boys sometimes call me Mother Melissa even though my name is Pam. My husband sometimes calls me Moomra.

    Our local grocery store had a drawing for a freezer. The thing is, I read about a week before that if you crinkle the slip of paper, that will be the one pulled out. I did it and I won! Even got my picture in the Oklahoma City Paper! lol.

    Sheesharee, Sheesh

    First.

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?
    A guy back in high school. I thought the world was ending for a short time. How silly. :P

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.
    Hey Faron - You have to like Teen Spirit!
    DH's brother's friend is dating Davy Jones's (Monkeys) daughter. (Davy actually lives in the area I live.) When it's brought up everyone raves how cool that is blah, blah, blah. I'm sooo less than impressed with all of it. Could be because I can't even name you a song and what I did recently hear I didn't care for.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?
    No

  • 16 years ago

    Do you have a nickname?
    Li, Lily

    Can you whistle an actual tune?
    I can't whistle an actual note.

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
    one - 15 years ago in rural virginia

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?
    first born

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?
    The one I dated just before DH was the only real heartbreak. I dated him casually for a while and he woo'ed me until I had fallen in love with him and then "the spark was gone" (for him, obviously). He dumped me right before my birthday. I married his good friend ;) (no, not out of spite - it took us a while to get together because of the weird dynamic but we truly are soulmates).

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
    Nope, but I can touch it with my finger!

    Wiggle your ears?
    Not unless the rest of me is wiggling.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?
    Nope.

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?

    1. Late bloomer I guess but it was extremely memorable and worth waiting for - on the pedestrian walkway of the Brooklyn Bridge.

    Can you speak a language other than English?
    At the end of my summer in France I could reasonably understand and make myself understood in French but I've forgotten it all.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.
    The movie Wall-E. Coca Cola, or any other Cola. Alcohol (I try to keep this under wraps because people seem to think it is freakish) including beer, wine, and hard liquor/mixed drinks. When I am somewhere I am expected to drink I order a plain cranberry juice and hope anyone who might give me a hard time just assumes there's vodka in there.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?
    No, I never win anything!

  • 16 years ago

    Do you have a nickname?
    Nope, unless you count "Pookums" (DH's term of endearment for me).

    Can you whistle an actual tune?
    Yes I can. I was told by an elderly gentleman that I "whistle like a man". That was one of the sweetest things anyone ever told me ;o)

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
    One.

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?
    The only.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?
    A football pool for $2300.

  • 16 years ago

    Do you have a nickname?
    My 95-year old Grandad still calls me "Jenipoo."

    Can you whistle an actual tune?
    Certainly!

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
    One or two.

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?
    I'm a first-born, with two brothers, one 12 years younger and the other 14 years younger than I.

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?
    His name was Steve, and he was a high school boyfriend.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
    Um, I'm not sure - and I'm not going to try.
    ;-)

    Wiggle your ears?
    Nope.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?
    Easily.

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?

    Can you speak a language other than English?
    Some Spanish, though I'm far from fluent.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.
    American Idol. I hate that show (but it's no secret).

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?
    Ummmmmm, not that I can remember.

  • 16 years ago

    Do you have a nickname?

    Yes, but I'm not telling you. :-) But my great-grandfather wanted my name to be Margaret instead of Mari and to his dying day he called me Maggie. If I had to change my name for Witness Protection or something I would probably become a Maggie. Oh, wait, that's blown it. LOL

    Can you whistle an actual tune?

    More or less, since I listen/sing along to a lot of music with pennywhistles in it, but I can't whistle very loudly so I can't whistle for the dog or a cab or suchlike.

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?

    No - one verbal warning. Doesn't mean I don't speed, I just don't get caught. Knock on wood! :-) (DH got his first speeding ticket last year to the tune of $400. I could have throttled him.)

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?

    Sort of all of the above! I'm my father's only child and mostly lived with him, so I was raised primarily as an only child - I didn't live full-time with siblings after the age of 4. I was the baby of my mom's 3 kids for 12 years until my little brother (#4) was born, which moved me up into sharing the middle slot with my older brother.

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?

    Oh goodness. I'm not counting unrequited "love" so I would have to say one of my high-school sweethearts, Mark. We almost got back together when I was in college but I chickened out.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?

    Nose too big. :-)

    Wiggle your ears?

    Yup.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?

    You betcha. Runs in my dad's family - he was the master of the sardonic eyebrow. (I can roll my tongue, too, as well as read upside down and dislocate my thumbs.)

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?

    14

    Can you speak a language other than English?

    DH says I have my own language when I'm tired or brainfogged. :-) I could never pick up any other languages. 4+ years of French in school and I could barely get past "la plume de ma tante est sur la table" and my accent is appalling. (They really should have taught Canadian French instead of France-French though - every summer we are overrun with French Canadians, and that's the largest distinct ethnic group in my state.)

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.

    The list is about 37 miles long. Mari, Mari, quite contrary...

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?

    Nope. :-(

  • 16 years ago

    Do you have a nickname? Yep. In younger years I went by my initials.

    Can you whistle an actual tune? Of course. And I take requests.

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? Many. That 55mph speed limit was not good for me in my college years. I have tickets from MO, AR, MS, AL, TN and FL. But I haven't had one since 1996.

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?
    My brother and I are both only children (we're 12 years apart, so that's how we think of ourselves).

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue? No.

    Wiggle your ears? No.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other? Yes.

    How old were you when you got your first kiss? 12

    Can you speak a language other than English? No.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about. Simple-minded action movies. But there is no secret to my dislike.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)? Nope.

    Do you have a nickname?

    Deby. My real name is Debra. When I was young, I was called 'Doll Dimples'. LOL!

    Can you whistle an actual tune?

    Can't whistle.

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?

    Yes. In my pajamas. Going 42 in a 35. Went to traffic school and fell asleep.

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?

    Youngest of 5 girls but my sister (17 months older) is more like the baby. I'm not a typical baby of the family personality. It may be because I've been on my own since I was 14. My sister was shielded and has always had someone take care of her.

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?

    His name was David. The *only* one who ever broke my heart.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?

    No! Can't roll my R's either. I *can* curl my tongue, something my mother could not do.

    Wiggle your ears?

    No!

    No!

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?

    1. Later that same year, I married 'my first kiss'. LOL!

    Can you speak a language other than English?

    Not unless you count 'Pig-Latin'. When my daughter was in first grade we were filling out a school survey. She insisted we could speak two languages. The other language? Latin. Yep, as in 'pig'.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.

    Michael Jackson. (Ducking now...) I think he did everything he was accused of.
    I called him 'Wacko Jacko' and secretly gave thanks because he could no longer harm children when he's dead.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?

    I won a quilt in a raffle once. Woo!

    Yes! I have the whistling gene.

    No.

    Middle. There are a surprising number of first borns here, no?

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?
    He knows who he is, that stinker.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?
    No.
    Wiggle your ears?
    No.
    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?
    No, but I can lower them separately. I can look quite evil.

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?
    12, playing spin the bottle. My first real kiss - 15.

    Can you speak a language other than English?
    I'm learning Italian very slowly.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?

    No.

    Wiggle your ears?

    Not that I am aware of.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?

    Yes, but I can't control it and I don't know when I am doing it...probably doesn't count. :-)

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?

    I am not sure how old I was but I do remember his braces!

    Can you speak a language other than English?

    Passable French...gets better with every trip. Gotta keep going back!

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart? My first boyfriend, because he let his mom make us stop going out -- I wasn't Irish Catholic. Oh well. Hurt a lot at the time. Now I'm pretty thankful.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue? Yes, but it feels gross so I don't do it. YUCK.

    Wiggle your ears? Yes.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other? Only my right one. Wish I could do the left. Also wish I could wink, which I can't.

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?
    Real kiss? 16. Little peck from a boy when we were pretend-married? Kindergarten. :)

    Can you speak a language other than English?
    Oui, un peu. Six ans de Francais et c'est tout ce qui reste.

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.
    Oh man I could second a lot of the things here! I have to go with the SGG Kitchens. I was there when the very first little virus struck in the Kitchens Forum back in 2004, watched the thread grow and grow and grow and become a PHENOMENON.

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)? Used to win radio call in contests when I was in junior high/high school - my piano skills finally paid off for something :) (although do you count actual skill-based competitions? or just fun contests? If you count things you have to have skill for, I've won a fair number.)

    Before I play: Oakley, thanks for doing these little fun surveys! I usually don't like stuff like this but yours are a nice breezy online diversion. And I love learning odd tidbits about others on the forums.

    Do you have a nickname?

    My former (for almost 30 years) and much loved boss always called me 'Annie'. Nobody else does; a former and much un-loved stepmother had that name and my family knows better! From formerboss though, I never minded.

    My family sometimes calls me the dutchess (see answer to ordinal family position for explanation).

    My sisters also have another in-joke nickname for me. Years ago on usenet during a dust up somebody referred to me online as 'hatefulness'. So they will tease me occasionally when I've ripped somebody a new one by hauling that nickname out.

    Can you whistle an actual tune?

    Yep

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?

    Nope

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby?

    First born. In so many, many ways. Oldest of 5 sisters, and one brother. See nickname question above :).

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart?

    My first serious boyfriend. He was my 'first' in, ahem, every way. So glad I never married him though. We would never have lasted.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue?

    No

    Wiggle your ears?

    No

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other?

    Yes

    How old were you when you got your first kiss?

    ~13 YO, and the kissee sealed my preference for body types...tall, thin, rangy guys only need apply. He was, my first love/heartbreaker was and years later my wonderful husband was and still is.

    Can you speak a language other than English?

    Solamente un poquito; se habla Miami Spanish. Donde esta el bano? Un medio pizza con queso y pepperoni por favor...

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about.

    Only one thing???

    In decorating: tablescapes

    Otherwise: people talking about dreams-the single most BORING topic I can imagine.

    Theme parks and any kind of 'manufactured' fun

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)?

    Ten years ago, in the most lucky week of my life I bought my dream car, got unexpectedly tapped for my organization's highest honor and (prodded by coworkers to keep the luck running) hit for a low level lottery prize of $90. Otherwise, never, nope, nothing.

    aka Dutchess

    Mary Had a Little Lamb

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
    Technically no but speeding is what got me into the Marine Corps. It's usually the reason that I got stopped but for some reason I always got off w/ a lesser ticket. Unfortunately this was also one of the reasons I ended up joining the Marine Corps. I had so mant tickets that the Air Force wouldn't take me and the USMC recruiter caught me on the way out of the recruiting office.

    I won a gift certificate Saturday to a jewelry store.

    p.s. to Jason/Jake -- LOLOL I'm there with you...I got out of my last one because the officer saw that I just kept getting them and he took pity on me...I wish to have it noted that I am NOT a dangerous driver, though -- there are speed traps set up all over town. I've never been in an accident, never hit a pedestrian or cyclist, etc. I don't tailgate. It's just when the road is clear and there's no one there, I see no reason to go at it at a safe but technically past-legal speed. The speed traps here are so obnoxious -- now that I've lived here for a while I can see that they're set up pretty specifically to raise revenue.

    Do you have a nickname? Suebee; mamacita from my kids.DH calls me honeybear. My dad used to call me punkin or grandpa used to call me sassy.
    My Mom used to accuse me of being the Queen Bee so that was my nickname from my brothers for years.
    Can you whistle an actual tune? no. used to be able to whistle like Faron, but cant do that either. I end up clicking to my dogs as if they were horses. very sad. I aspire to learn the fingers in the mouth whistle.

    Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? Never, ever been caught! six sense just as I will begin to hit it, I sometimes look and there is an unmarked car. Or I will slow down( considerably) just before running through a trap! don't tell my kids they think I drive slow- yeah I do with them in the car. Of course now I have jinxed myself...

    Are you an only, a first born, a mid-kid, or the baby? First born of 3 kids me and two brothers.

    Who was the first person who ever broke your heart? Mike something in 9th grade.

    Can you touch your nose with your tongue? No but my uncle can.

    Wiggle your ears? no but my other uncle can.

    Raise one eyebrow independently of the other? yes. but not glamorously. You will fall down laughing if I try to wink or ask if I am having a stroke!

    How old were you when you got your first kiss? I think 14

    Can you speak a language other than English? some spanish- was in spanish 3 a couple of years ago and dropped. but dos cervesas por favor gets me where I wanna go!

    Name something you secretly dislike, that everyone else seems to rave about. The president

    Have you ever won a sweepstakes or contest (other than the lottery or a door prize)? Not even a door prize. not even a scratch off at a fast food place. My brother was the 1 millionth caller for Cellular One and was given an all expenses trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back stage tour of the grand opening I think he got to play roadie. He had a choice of trips he chose that one. Had a blast. Pre Nirvana Faron dude.
