17 More Things About Spo

1. When you are cute, Spider writes all about you.
2. I dislike cheesecake. It induces nausea.

4. Another one I like to say - “Sooner I’d eat rats in Tewkesbury than….”
5. I still have no understanding how to operate the 4-5 control panels that go with HAL, the entertainment centre in our house. Worse, Someone’s real name is Dave.
6. I have never changed the oil on my car myself.
7. One of my ex-patients is now on the radio, and well known. It makes me happy to hear his voice; that he is doing OK.
8. Recently a patient came in prior to his 2 year deployment overseas. He needed his depression as ship-shape as possible prior to going. He informs me half his people are on medications for depression. Wow.
9. I have 14% body fat. Gnash your jealous teeth!
10. I have 30 Hawaiian shirts in my closet. Over half are homemade.
11. Last month Target had a tree ornament consisting of 2 red cardinals in a nest. Any bird watcher knows that red cardinals are male, and 2 male cardinals would never nest together – so they must be queer birds indeed. We purchased it of course.

13. I do not have triskaidekaphobia.
14. Someone and I did our annual ‘where would we like to go this year?” roster. We came up with 10 vacations to take in 2007. Now we have to be more realistic as to time/money/work away, and widdle them down to 4 weeks worth.
