Tell something surprising or unexpected about yourself.

I despise Seinfeld.

I have never seen that show. I guess I'm a child of the early 2000s being born in 1995 and all.

I often think that God is a jerk and that he's hell bent on keeping me unhappy, but I love him anyways....

You need to hit up AA and rehab, Michael. This is destroying you, mate. You've got to get a grip on this drinking! We're worried about ya....

Wug, you are a stunning young woman! And don't worry about me creeping on your photo, I am an old, old man and my own daughter is older than you...

I've mentioned Celebrate Recovery before. It's a Christian twelve-step program that helps people deal with all of their 'hurts, hangups, and habits.' It's non-denominational.

What I think is best about it is that it recognizes that most people are dealing with a myriad of different issues and, while someone can concentrate on alcohol, he can deal with other issues as well. I have met some of the most open-hearted men I've ever known there and it is beautiful to see the strong bonds they have forged with one another. They are a real brotherhood.

What I think is worst about it is that it's a little too fundy for me, but I recognize that due to my East coast roots and serious antipathy for evangelical conservatives, that's more of a problem for me than for some others. Thankfully, I have never heard any CR members talk politics...occasionally I see some creepy FB posts.

My most uncomfortable moment with CR members was at an IHOP one morning where a few divorced ladies were talking about the guns they owned, the guns they wanted to buy, etc. One was a kindergarten teacher! None of their exes were, as far as I knew, potential murderers. Besides, CR is supposed to be about forgiveness, making amends, reaching closure. I was so disappointed in them but I held my tongue and didn't finish my omelet...

Here is a map of CR locations in Indiana.

God enabled me to genuinely forgive my mother, even as she was unable to ask for forgiveness...it set us both free....

In the spirit of community, I offer this thread. Tell something about yourself that people might be surprised by.

I was a regular caller (enough to be known to and generally liked by the host) on a nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show for some years in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

were you a real caller or one of those fake callers? this sounds like one of those data mining questions the paid shills seem to ask on all the message boards now.

It's sad people think they're anonymous on here, sharing all this info and there's hordes of sleazebags rubbing their hands together everytime you tell someone you sleep in the nude or something on the internet.

I am a real skateboarding eagle.

AS most of you know, I take really good care of my employees. I pay above scale, and do as well as I can with benefits, both monetary and non-monetary. I do this for many reasons. My employees work hard, and do a great job and deserve the pay and benefits. They are all very loyal and I can depend on them. My business is doing well, and growing, largely due to these people I have hired.

All of that being said, and I feel a little guilty about this, but I really like being the boss and being referred to as Doña Sylvia.....

I am not paid to post here, but I should be. Man, I should be.

gurney,

I own a company that does contract and call in maintenance. I have carpenters, plumbers, electricians heating and air conditioning techs, painters and drywallers. Right now, my payroll is 38 people.

I have clients with contracts that call whenever there is a need and I send people to fix things. We occasionally get cold calls from individuals and businesses that need emergency repairs.

My workforce are almost all Hispanic, hence the title Doña Sylvia....

I was a vegetarian for this lent, with occasional fish on fridays. It lasted for a week. (I got too hungry at night)

I have never watched EVEN ONE episode of Friends.
I've NEVER seen Titanic.

I love Friends! One of my favorite shows ever!

I have seen Titanic once. I recommend it at least once. It was enough for me.
