I've stuttered from childhood, but it's better now (a little anyway). I think that's why I write. Isn't that weird? I have always hated having a stutter and why it bothers me so much I don't know since it doesn't seem to trouble anyone else!

Thanks for all the reads and comments. I always fi...

Thanks for all the reads and comments. I always find it interesting when bloggers I do open up more like this, and once I decided to do so, I then dragged my ass for like a month as I much prefer to be snarky and opnionated and hopefully funny than vulnerable. Call it my comfort zone.

Yes the stutter thing is was an issue, interesting how stuff like that matters more to us than most other people.

And Brian, wow, smartest in the school? Cool. Always thought that was my older brother. And I say that because is true and because he sometimes reads this blog (and is the only family member I have a relatinship with).

Sarcasm rocks, well said!!!

Camping beckons, will go, am taking the dogs!

ohmygod with the board games- am so jealous and would love to come over and play with Scrabble with you- even though it would require use of my passport- ha!

TEAM SARCASM! the 'lowest form of humor' people are just jealous because they aren't funny. DOUCHEBAGS! lol

I love Linda Ronstadt. Stuttering is hot. And having just returned from a trip, I will leave with you with a tiny heartfelt suggestion:

GO. CAMPING.

I don't remember you having a stutter, I had one, Robert (don't know if you would remember him) had a stutter, but I really don't remember you stuttering.

One of my cats is afraid of ceiling fans therefore they must be evil.

It does surprise me that you ended up running. I was the runner, always captain of the relay team. You were always the smartest one. The smartest in the class, and probably the smartest in the school.

I don't run anymore, I have an absolutly horrible philosophy about such things: Sitting is better then standing, lying down is better than sitting. I did enjoy darts for awhile.

Getting married does change the way one feels. Now there is a level of comitment that makes it really hard to walk away. Before, even if common law marriage, there is very little to keep one from walking at the first sign of trouble. Now its not so easy to walk away. There is a difference.

You are so right. The Kindle is one of the greatest inventions ever. That and ice cream.

My brother has a terrible stutter, too. It's completely changed who he is as a person. When he was a kid, he was teased mercilessly, and now, he's much more reserved and shy than he used to be. It makes him really self-conscious. I don't notice it because I've been around him since I was born, but he hates it.

Therapy never helped him and he won't go back. So there it is. It breaks my heart for him, and for you. I'm sorry you have to deal with it, too. xoxo

Do you really love saying "my husband"? Because that was my favorite part. I would make up excuses to use the phrase. For like SIX months.
Anyway--excellent list. (I can't trust someone if they don't love pizza--it is perfect in every way.)

Thanks for sharing yourself with us. Number 2 hit a chord with me. I got married a year ago (in Canada also) and both my husband and I have 'felt different' ever since. We have been together for a while and can't put a reason on it....we just feel different.

While not common, a ceiling fan phobia is totally rational. It'll be your turn to laugh when we all have press-board blades stuck in out temples & jugulars.

OMG you love Linda Ronstadt and the Go Gos! I think I love you a little bit more now (I dyed my hair red during a Belinda Carlisle phase in my teens). I heart sarcasm too and think the only people who complain about it are those who are too dull to get it.

Lovely and interesting 17 insights into what makes you the Brahmster.
