When I went over later to get him I asked him why he went to Terry's since he had to know I would find him there. He told me he had to go there because I wouldn't let him cross the street.



ok, so now ONE of the secret's is out. Michael, you've stolen my thunder, bub!! Now should we tell them about the morning I got up and found my TV sitting on the floor with you laying in front of it?



Hey! Maybe he'll let you play drums with his choir. Ask him!!

Good idea Margie! Mark's drummer (if it's the same one he had a couple of years ago) wasn't all that great.

back in the day, Mike was a pretty good drummer if I remember right (and I'm sure I do )

Renda, my mom was not a big one for spanking. She very, very rarely ever spanked any of us. In fact, I can only tell you two times in my whole life that she ever laid a hand on me.

But one of those times involved me threatening to run away from home. I was 5 years old. We had just moved into our new home. She was about 4 months pregnant with my brother. She and Dad were painting the stairway. I had received ice skates for Christmas that year - the kind with double runners so I would be very steady on my feet. It was nasty outside and I wanted to go outside and skate in the street. She told me no. So I stomped my feet and threatened to run away. She picked me up right there on the stairs, put me over her knee and wailed my little tail!! Never threatened that again in my entire life!

We have a lot in common! - except I never got involved in anything to get busted for. Well, there was one time when I came back from lunch, inebriated, and took a true and false test in (can't remember the class, lol) I only got 4 questions right out of 100!

This reminds me of the time we had science class outside. Some girls from my class stashed some beer out there and drank it during class! I honestly can't remember if I drank any or not but I don't think so. I was in the group with these girls for the class. I did smoke in the bathroom quite a bit though until I had an experience with God in 10th grade and then I quit for 8 months or so and after that I didn't smoke in the school bathrooms at all even though I started back up again. One time a teacher walked in on me and I was holding the cigarette behind my back. I casually dropped it and walked out. I'm not sure if she knew or not. Boy, I feel kind of evil telling these stories now.

I do not have dimples.

I preached for more than 15 years and I hate to speak in public.

Before I got kicked out of the Missionary Church, our youth group was planning a weekend canoe trip one summer. That same summer I was spending my days babysiting for a local family in their home (I was 14). They had a bby boy about 6 months old who was eating baby food in the jar. Many days after I fed the baby, I would wash the jar out and then fill it with liquor from their liquor cabinet and sneak it home in my purse.

Then when our youth group went on that canoe trip, we had a youth leader (now my brother-in-law) who was pretty easy to walk all over. We convinced him to sleep in the car because the weather was cruddy. The girls were to sleep in one tent and the boys in the other. John was the only "adult" spending the night with us. The others were driving down the next day to join us for the canoeing.

So after John went to sleep in the car, we kids broke out the baby food jars. Didn't we have a time!! It was raining and storming all night, so John didn't even come out of the car to check on us. It ended up with the boys all sleeping in the girls tent with us. Their tent was leaking badly. Besides that we had found this female dog that we convinced ourselves was about to have puppies.

You know, thinking back, when I think of incidents like this, and then there's the one where we went skinny dipping after revival services in the Apostolic church........... I'm amazed that anyone would have wanted me in their youth group. LOL
