1) is that what it’s called–well then I am as well about–my personal things, bathrooms, kitchen/dining area & living room
2) I think disinfectants should be used for: areas where raw meat is handled, where poop is found [except not using a disinfectant on ones hind quarters}, kitchens & bathrooms.
Correct me if I am wrong, but…I understand that vinegar acts as a natural disinfectant
4) I multi-task nearly all the time
7) gained 45 pounds in High School? I never realized you put on that much weight them, you hid it so well.
9) I too, was raised with cats & dogs, and had 2 cats & 2 dogs but, am now terribly allergic to them and I love them. Poor Honey (Honey Bones) as I call him-I couldn’t pet him or hold and love on him. That hurt me.
14) Wow, me too, can hack up a raw chicken fairly well and it still looks like chicken
15) my favorite quote by me: “Don’t tell me I can do something, cause I will prove that I can.” and, “Don’t ever be afraid to ask, the worst that can happen is to be told ‘no’.'”
16) FREE….Where? I want some, I don’t even need to know what it’s used for- I’ll find some way to use it. I mean look at all the ways-over the years- I used: twist ties, masking tape, duct tape, wire, containers…
17) Hmmm ADD- I was told when I was little I had ants in my pants. That was suppose to be the cause for my….
20) Pack-rat….yeppers, me too.

24) I modeled my hair once

Wow Boog, that was so nice to run down memory lane with you. I like this post.
10.) I have a deep rooted desire to start my own business
11.) I don’t have the guts to start my own business
12.) When I pass an empty business suite (building, strip mall space, etc…), I think about how I would set up my own business in that space… (I told you it’s deep-rooted)
These three really really really hit at home with me! I do the exact same thing everytime I pass a build, strip mall space, etc… Maybe we should talk and between the two of us we have enough gonads to do it?
Troy my friend, I’ve started thinking more & more about this & if I can convince myself to move forward on any of this, I’ll give you a call. I’m going to start off with creating a simple pros/cons list & seeing what I can come up with. The only cons I can really come up with in right now all relate to fear. All of them are “what if” thoughts & not really negative points, so maybe I’m about to learn a little more about myself by going through this thought process…
