One odd fact about you



Recommended Posts

@@Who'sThere, I don't know about Jackson Heights or how long ago your friend quoted $12, but nothing is $12 now. The last time I noticed, parking garages in Manhattan were getting at least $50 -- like 9-5, not 24 hrs. Some residential buildings sell spaces in their garages for eye-popping amounts. Quite a few years back, the first time I heard of spaces being sold as condominium apartments are sold, a $2.25 million price tag was mentioned. Or was it $225,000? Sorry, it was a long time ago. Then owning garage spaces started to become more of "a thing." I don't know what prices may be like now or how much location is a factor.

How about another odd fact or experience, someone?

Oh, I didn't explain myself well, I guess. He was visiting HERE and said that $12 for parking was cheap, and I thought it was crazy expensive. Yeah, he said you can't touch it up there for under $40 anywhere. We were in a tourist town near my town. Near my town it's usually free. If not, it's only $3-5.

And yes, we got off topic, lol...more interesting facts!! Those are fun.

These are fascinating tidbits of life. The things we did not know!

WLS .. Not keeping a secret of the country singer; didn't know if anyone was interested : Wynonna Judd sat down and chatted. She was funny and gracious.

@@Julie norton, thanks for filling in. I'd think that everyone was wanting to know. Your tidbit is even more fun now.

I don't know if you had one item per person in mind, but something else comes to mind. When I was in third grade, my mother took me to The Ed Sullivan Show. I have no idea who was on that evening, but I was so excited the next day in school that I couldn't get the news straight: "We went to the Ed Sullivision Show!!"

This isn't about me but my hair dresser, and I'm sharing because it's one of the oddest and most interesting things I've ever heard. She was a twin inutero, but her twin died and her body absorbed her sibling. She has two different colored eyes and several sets of double organs. She also has 2 sets of DNA. How weird/cool is that? She has four ovaries and two uteruses, so when she has female trouble, it truly is double trouble! Actually, that should be past tense. She had all her female organs removed a few years ago because it was so bad.

Wow!! That is very interesting!! My Brother had a twin that died too. But he doesn't have the extra stuff I don't think anyway. He is a bit STRANGE tho!! My mom lost one of her ovaries because of it and was told that whatever sex of her next child would be the only one she would have!! But this was over 50 years ago too. She did have boys but we later found out that the man determines the sex of the baby. So that was just a myth for sure. LOL

I am a beauty product whore. I own about 150 bottles of OPI and Zoya nail polish. My dressing area looks like a mini Sephora. I can't get enough of eyeshadows and I own hundreds. Also, it's not a good day unless I have glitter on somewhere on my body. Yes I am a 15 year old trapped in a 45 year old body!!

Love reading everyone's responses.

@@Who'sThere, I've heard of twins in utero being absorbed by the other, but never with details such as you gave. It certainly is interesting, but creepy, too. Sad even moreso.

@@shedo82773, that's a new one to me. I know that longer middle toes are common and that it's also common for the toe next to the big to to be longer, but never heard of feet like yours. It sounds as though you know of no one else in your family who has that, but there probably was someone in the past few generations.

@@proudgrammy, I know you well enough to have said to myself "Pshaw" when I saw "4 million." Beside, the Pinocchio nose that sprouted in your photo gave you away.

I really haven't got much info on my Fathers side but on my Mothers side I haven't seen anyone or heard of anyone with my impressive toes!! LOL Most of my Moms side have passed away. Including my mom and her siblings. There is one Aunt left but she is kind of forgetful. I do have an Aunt ( she's a cousin but out of respect we have always called her Aunt) BTW I LOVE LOVE HER!!! Maybe I will check with her.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
