Well....if you aren't SPECIFIC....then we'll never know just how UN-NORMAL you really are Meanon! HAHAHAHA~

[Evil_CSM_Yu]

I sing in my car - sometimes even when there are other people, but usually only if I know them well.

I use my turn signals (blinkers) 95% of the time.

I generally go five to seven miles over the speed limit.

I stop at a yellow light if I don't know how long it's been yellow or if it's been yellow for a long time.

I'm not as conscientious about wearing my seatbelt as I should be - mostly I wear it but if I feel lazy - ooops.

I can drive a stick shift.

I very rarely tailgate - if I do, they did it first.

I don't do my children's homework although I HAVE been tricked into giving an answer when I shoulda made them figure it out. (stop asking me when I'm distracted dang it)

I believe that above all else, a person must be honest - first and foremost with him/herself. I don't lie.

I don't cheat on exams/tests. Easy one to keep. I haven't taken and exam or test in awhile.

I believe in Divne Retribution - I know I'm going to pay for things I've done.

I believe in the Ten Commandments

And an Afterlife

Not sure about ghosts (but that would explain a lot about Duke - oh, come on - you knew it was coming)

Do not believe I've seen a ghost

Unsure of ESP

Don't rely on an alarm clock

Don't read horoscope

Haven't forgotten my anniversary. (14 times so far)

Don't know how I look. I'm pleased with my looks but would like to shed a few pounds.

Not trilingual

Know all the features on my VCR AND can set the time

Prefer ATM

Don't reuse tin foil

or pretty gift paper

haven't taken credit for a mix and called it scratch

only read Anne Landers when I need a good laugh

have skinny-dipped - with the opposite sex

don't dress up for halloween

always mean to send Christmas Cards....always put off til last minute and THEN I say to hell with it , there's always next year. :oops:

I did not marry my first love.

I did not ask for approval.

I was not a virgin when I married. Nor did I claim to be.

[Stone]

I foolishly sing and dance in my car and if someone looks at me funny I turn it up and sing louder

I have never drove a stick shift

I do believe in gosts ESp ect.



Daily Living

I prefer ATM machines and online banking over tellers.

You'll just have to take my word for it, I'm a freak of nature

From memory: I sing in the car, speed all the time so I wear a seat belt, I drive using a gear stick (that's normal here) - better for cornering, I don't believe in ghosts, God or the easter Bunny, I've been skinny dipping, I don't lie.

[Duke]

Was any of it actually good advice?

[dogula]

I guess, people kept writing. Funny thing though, she was the twin sister of Dear Abby, and they had a long standing feud with eachother.

[Duke]

Wow, learn something new every day.
