Bonnierae, would you mind putting your "state" in your profile? That would help as you are in MN, right? Bonnierose is in NY? I think I have that correct. Right?

Meredith, that deserves a "you go girl" (years later, even). That's like something I'd like to have the guts to do. I definitely would have been too timid to do it in my school years, but, even today, I'd find myself reasoning myself out of it. I majored in art, also... ended up in the accounting field... found I loved pushing numbers around better. There is a such thing as "creative" accounting, BTW, I just never used it.

My question is, Dee, was them being "hunky" an important part of your story? Had they been funky, instead, would you feel the same? Would you have even gone through with it?
I've never mooned , but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn Express.

You ALL are crazy. I can't imagine 25 truckers all snoring at the same time. Your story would make a great book.

Dee, I wasn't the one mooning, but I was in a car with several girls when one of our friends mooned all these guys in front of a bar on the busiest street in town. no one saw their reaction because all of us ducked. It didn't matter thought because there was so much laughter it was well worth it.

Now we know who to double dare when we all get together.

I'm such a weenie. I wouldn't even do something on a triple dare.

Hannelore, your motorcycle story was awesome. Girl, you've got guts.

Hannalore, I love your motorcycle story! You are an adventurer!

I will try anything once and have had some pretty cool adventures. But the craziest thing I've ever done was purchase my house, which was a bank repossessed house and needed everything done to it. I had never done any type of repairs ever in my life, so for the first time, I've done plumbing, replaced all the light fixtures and electrical outlets, stained or painted every inch, both inside and out, laid laminate fooring, jack-hammered up some old tile, cut down trees and repaired my lawn mower. All this so my dog could have a yard.

Daisy, that is one lucky dog!

Think of how much you have learned since purchasing that house. More power to you, this is a risk taking adventure you have been on and I congratulate you.

Many times I have thought to do that but only got as far as writing the story of my families tangled, twisted life for my children,grandchildren,and all my neices and nephews. Had it bound and gave each a copy.I did this the Christmas
after my mother passed away. All of the grandchildren were so close to "grandma" and really missed her during the holiday season. Grandma was christmas.

The 25 snoring truckers is only one of my many, many mishaps that occurred because I am always in a hurry.

BTW, I am from MN

Maybe, I WAS an adventurer. But that was 9 years ago, and bawling like that on the mountain...was not the face of an adventurer. I think I even scared the mountain goats. tee hee.

I agree Daisygirl. Being in real-estate I am very aware that purchasing a house is for many people the most daring thing they have ever done. I may have driven up a mountain, but combating those mortgage loans can be like climbing Mt. Everest. Hats off to you for being able to renovate like that!

Dee that was a cool story. I used to bowl with a guy that mooned people a lot. I never had the nerve. But I think it's funny. Chatty, you're right: we're nuts!!! But you can't take yourself too seriously. Life is short. And meredith, B. Rose - that's me - posts on bonnierae's website - myGrandCentralStation!!! It was snt but she changed it. In any case, that's how I met the lady.
Ciao for now,
Bonnie Rose is going to close...

Woops...yell, gimster - I'm from New York--not New York, New York but the State of New York just the same!!!!
