I have double jointed fingers on my right hand. I can bend them back and they can touch the back of my hand. It was a great party trick when I was in college.

Mine is silly, I can't swim/ I also dont perticularly like the water. Someone (who knew I couldnt swim) threw me in a poll when I was 13, I went under, and passed out, had to go to the hospital and everything.

My husband and I worked at a golf fund raiser that George Bush Sr. often attends. One year we were asked to drive a golf cart around to check on the teams to see if anyone needed anything. To make a long story short, we ended up in a "drag race" with Pres. Bush - only for about 10 seconds because the Secret Service guys gave us some harsh looks. The president was laughing, but they sure weren't!The fund raiser was to raise money for Gary's House in Portland, ME. He was a friend of mine in high school who died from cancer, and his wish was to have a "home" where families could stay if their loved ones were ill. Kind of like Ronald McDonald house, but the "ill person" didn't have to be a child. My husband and I were the house parents for the first year it ran... a great experience and an honor to my friend Gary.

I speed read. I can read a novel (300 pages or so) in an hour and a half or less...depending on how ummm involved the storyline is. My husband laughs at me...because when we travel on a plane to Vegas or something I have to bring TWO books for the flight out there and then have two more for the way back...heaven forbid if I ever go overseas.

Keeping in mind I am very right handed. When I paint a room and when it comes to detailing along the mouldings and trim I can use my left hand as good as my right hand. Something about the small work that lets my brain engage for the left hand!
