3. So, you want another ten, do ya?

1. During Prohibition, my grandfather's family made and ran illegal booze from a farm in Bolton, Connecticut (about 15 miles east of Hartford). They used a Model T Ford with the rumble seat removed and replaced with a huge tank for holding the liquid cargo. With all the money they made, my relatives contributed greatly to their community and became a respected and prominent local family. To this day, there is a road in Bolton that bears my surname.

2. Neither my grandfather, my father, nor I completed our respective military enlistments.

3. In 1983, I wore a button with Ronald Reagan's face and the caption, "1984: END OF AN ERROR." Needless to say, the button was not exactly prophetic....

4. At age five, I leaned too far forward while looking over a cliff. If my father hadn't grabbed my arm and pulled me back, I wouldn't be alive to type these words.

5. Because of the above-mentioned incident, I still have a severe case of acrophobia. Something as mundane as climbing a ladder causes my knees to shake uncontrollably.

6. I lost my virginity at 17, to a woman two years my senior that I met while standing in line at the movies. After that one night, I never saw her again.

7. Although I took Driver's Ed in high school, I didn't get my license until I was 21.

8. Until the 1988 presidential election, I considered myself a conservative. People who didn't know me back then find that extremely hard to believe, but it's the truth, baby!

9. I bought my first record when I was twelve years old. Twenty-five years later, I own about 1,200 LPs, 2,000 45s, and at least 1,500 CDs. And I had even more records before my two big vinyl purges in 1991 and '95!

10. I can't recall ever having said "I love you" to my late mother, a fact that haunts me to this day.

4. Here ya go John Kleeb

1. I am the youngest girl of seven children. I had a younger brother, who unfortunately killed himself in 2001, so now I am the youngest of my mom's kids. I still find it hard to say.
2. I LOVE the Grateful Dead, Phish, Monkees,
3. My first protest was in front of the local newspaper after they wrote an article about my high school. They made it sound like it was a cesspool (well that it was but not of what they were talking about)...they made it sound as if every student there took drugs and drank 24/7. So a group of us got together and picketed the paper. They apolgized and said that while the article focused on one school, it was indicative of problems at all the schools in the city. Yeah right. We felt at the time that our school was picked on because it was a North Side school (white working class) and not the rich kid school.
4. Not having had a Jewish education as a kid, I have basically taught myself how to read prayer book Hebrew. I cannot lead prayers (yet) but I can follow along.
5. Like John Kleeb..my great grandparents came from what is now Slovenia.
6. My dad was Catholic and the youngest of 13
7. I have a Bike-E recumbent bike
8. I am a gadget-holic. Some people like to go clothes shopping and get excited about that...I get excited about going to Circuit City or Best Buy.
9. I have more than a few DVDs. Today I just bought Rage Against the Machine's last concert on DVD and a DVD of a concert by Ben Harper.
10. I LOVE MY MAC!!!!!!:loveya:

5. I am not the only Slovene in the bunch

Sweetness. My mom's dad's parents are the Slovenes. Its funny honestly if I had been a Serb, and the other circumstances in my life were the same, I would be Eastern Orthodox not Catholic.
