Ancestoral background?
1/2 American and 1/2 Italian (you wouldn't guess the Italian part).

The Robe, Ben Hur.

Good movies.

Any pets? If so, how many and what kinds.

1 amazing cat. I never liked cats in my entire life until this one came along about 4 months ago.

Each cat is different! I loved mine.

What's your favorite Christian theological subject?


Pretty much anything that might help others.

What type of ethnic foods do you like to eat? Any Favorites? Italian is probably my favorite, followed by Greek. For Italian food, my favorite is lasagna. For Greek food, my favorite is the lemon-garlic chicken!

Sounds good to me.

What is your favorite dessert(s)? Chocolate cake with vanilla icing, spice cake with caramel icing, blackberry cobbler, bread pudding, and the caramel waffle cookies made by the Dutch. A friend of my niece's brought some back from Holland as a present, and the family devoured the whole package of 10. I was so glad to find out that two Dutch brothers here in Billings make and sell them--so I can buy them whenever I want to. They also run a little cafe and make a lot of Dutch foods. I am going to have to get there one day.

Sounds good! I couldn't possibly name all the desserts I like.

How many bibles do you own? 3. I have a King James, the original Orthodox Study Bible (which had the NT books and the Psalms) and the new Orthodox Study Bible (which has the OT using the Septuagint and the NT).

Same here. I've got one more than those called the Third Millenium Bible which is basically the KJV as authentically as possible, apparently.

OK this I have to try, there MUST BE an online recipe for me to find where I can make one of those bad boys myself, that sounds absolutely delicious, Im so there

I will search online for this, "Athens pistachio milkshake" (heres hoping)

I thought that when I was in school. Now, I can say I liked history and literature.

I don't cut it out. It's all 100% juice, and since I can drink it with my hypoglycemia, ain't nobody gonna take it away from me!!

No wonder D! Gees, I feel for the poor soul who tries taken it from ya

Thats awful, I had something like that pregnant where I had this extremely low sugar thing and I never flip (Im pretty easy going) but I did and in a store in public) with my mom (who hid from me) but as soon as I ate a cookie (because I was famished) "the flipping out" stopped

It was a really weird experience, has that ever happened to you? Is it the same thing? Not sure, someone who dont know me could probrobly say, oh she was having a bad day but that wasnt it AT ALL. It was a good day and I would never go back to that store again, cause how could I explain?

Whatever it was... a cookie solved the problem

I'm sure you have other interests.

Your right, I have an interest in collecting smilies

Wow. Yeah, when you're pregnant, the hormones and blood sugar change a bit. No, it's not the case for me. I have to stay awy from concentrated sugar...especially brown sugar and molasses. Seems to really bother me. Causes nausea, dizziness, weakness, and disorientation, basically. Anyhow, if I ever feel a hypoglycemic attack, nothing is better to stabilize my sugar levels than a handful of peantus. Yep. Just a handful and I'm fine in a minute or so.

Your right, I have an interest in collecting smilies

Nice hobby. I like doing jigsaw puzzles.

I had no idea, just a handful of peanuts huh? Thats pretty neat, and how it works so fast like that. Do you miss brown sugar D?

Can you eat raw sugar and perhaps a ground date mix or some substitute? Im thinking thanksgiving sweet potatoes with all that junk on there is out of the question

Though its pretty kool both work within a minute, whatever I had (which needed sugar) and what you had that a handful of peanuts took care of. I just had a taste of what folks go through (if just a little) when somethings off, and I never expected "that" it come as a surprise

Nice hobby. I like doing jigsaw puzzles.

Keep posting them so I can steal them from ya

Jigsaws would drive me nuts, all those tiny little pieces, although I can somewhat relate, I love word type puzzle pictures too. The ones with a thousand pieces I wouldnt attempt, I just dont have the patience for it, some folks are addicted to them....well...If the electricity was off and I couldnt get online I might "try it" (to pass the time) but as soon as the power come on it gets shoved back in the box

Not really. I don't think I ate much stuff w/it in the food. lol But sometimes I wish I could eat a Snickers bar or Reeses Peanut Butter cups, but I compensate with chocolate chip ice cream shakes (I can eat those w/out much trouble because the chips are miroscopic). I can eat cheesecake and choco chip cookies (2-3 at a time...that's it). So, I have things I can eat. I can have yummy Pumpkin Spice lattes from Starbucks, and that's always a treat.

No, no raw sugar. Equal or Splenda has to substitute if gonna put some in my decaf regular coffee or something.

1000-piece Charles Wysocki puzzles, I love. I collect them. I finish them in 2 days. They're great. I don't have patience for crocheting, needle point, anything like that. Drives me batty.

I gotta try one of those pumkin spice lattes too, thanks for the idea D. We had to walk past a Starbucks today because the christmas shoppers were hogging the place (the line was way too long)...
I just looked on...

No, no raw sugar. Equal or Splenda has to substitute if gonna put some in my decaf regular coffee or something.

Oh man, when I first read that I thought it was none of the above, I'd be like... "Lord take me now" Good you can have substitutes

Me too D, I can relate, I tried that yarn needle thing before and made this long tube thingy (like 3 feet long) once. But I didnt know what to do with it to make it "into" something useful after that. I sorta got stuck there. I saved it for a couple of months and would just pull it out to show whoever was around and say, "hey look at the TUBE THINGY I made".

I realized it wasnt much of an accomplishment after awhile

I heard they do bad things to credit card holders

Yup they do. Black helicopters take you to waterboarding central.

No really, as long as you pay the bill OFF, not just the minimum payment, you're ok. Check not only interest rate, but grace period. You want to be able to use it and pay it off w/o incurring finance charges.
