I can play a harmonica through my mouth.<br /><br />Some of my fingers are longer than the others. The others are shorter.<br /><br />I won the National Penmanship contest for my school when I was in grade 4.

Re: Post a Random Fact(s) About Yourself

I don’t talk about this very often...<br />In 1990 I was diagnosed with an ulcer which turned out to be a cardio myopathy. By the time I finally realized the doctors were wrong it was almost too late. I dragged myself to the hospital’s Emergency ward and was helped inside by the janitor who was out front. I should’ve dialed 911 but I wasn’t thinking straight. The specialist in the ICU at the hospital told me I was suffering from heart failure and I needed to write a will. So after my parents and girlfriend arrived they told me I wasn’t going to make it through the night. That evening I wrote a will with them… you can imagine what that was like. It changed my life in a major way. Luckily, they were wrong… they pumped me up with antibiotics and within a couple hours my lungs were clearing, I could breathe again and I felt better than I had in months. I’ve seen the specialist many times and he said I’m a very ‘special case’… recoveries such as mine are very rare. I was lucky. The part that bothers me still is that they don't know what triggered it... so I don't know what to avoid. They called it an airborn virus... which they later admitted, means they don't know.<br />On a side note… my grandmother is a psychiatrist and she thinks I’m a special case too :)

Flavored Milkbone Dog Biscuits all taste the same, except for the red ones. They have a little spice to them. And they didn't give me heartburn! :D <br /><br />(moral of story, never leave me at home on New Years with my #1 brother in law, and 2 cases of beer!)

LF,<br /><br />I do often see it as a positive. Taken a while . . . It's more of a secret professionally (and with my kids :eek: ). I tell friends ;)

Now you have absolutely ruined it. I just imagined that you were really Shawn(a). Now you're just a wannabe, heterosexual boater who also likes blondes. There are a lot of those around!!! :(
So sorry QC... :D
