Ok this could be a loaded statement so be careful what you post ok

Things that others on the message board that does not know about us I thought would be a good thing to post not sure though but lets see where it takes us all...the journey of fans of their lives and what each other don't know about one another...and be good ok

Well I posted in "others" that I like Polish music because of the fact of my heritage. Also because of my Father being in a Polish American Band. So at a young age I learned to Polka in fact my mother told me that I was dancing to music as soon as I could walk. I have "Happy Feet" I guess lol. Any way my Polka dancing got me an interview on a Polka radio show and I was on a local program called "Polka" show that was aired at one of our local TV companies WGGB in Springfield Massachusetts. I was on "Polka" with my family dancing with others showing support for our Local Polka bands which I got to know everyone of them in person due to the fact that my family was involved in a Polish Club and we all basically help the club out. My Aunt was President, my Uncle ( her husband) was treasure, both my parents were board of directors, my Dad would hire and fire the bands and my sisters and I contribute in the club as well with Working with my Aunt (president) in the kitchen, coat room and at the door. I use to help take orders and clean tables off including washing the dishes in between dancing. Man those days I was in top shape and don' t know how the heck I did all that I could not do that now if I tried. No wonder why my parents loved Sundays...because us kids were pooped when we got home and went right to bed with out stalling lol . Then in my teen years I taught some Polka dancing at our camp in which my family use to do every summer growing up. Now I still sort of Polka and teaching my children about the Polish heritage as best I can.

Also I have studied some of Native American culture and made some Native American friends that were dancers. Unfortunately how life is and how busy we all get I have lost contact with those friends with deepest regret. I have no way of reaching them because they move around so much but I have found memories of them and their teachings.

Well enough with me ...
Now it is your turn to share :!:


Hope everyone is well...

Every sun rise starts a new day and a new beginning

That is way cool SueBee! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Thank you for sharing!

I think I talk about myself so much :oops: that everyone already knows everything LOL, but lemme see if I can think of some things they don't!

Hmmmmm :ugeek:

I play piano, clarinet, saxophone, and flute. I also sang when I was younger. :mrgreen:
I was the drum majorette in my high school marching band and I was so obsessed with it, I marched in a parade on a newly broken foot LOL. :oops: I have had years of musical education, but prefer to play things by ear. I spent two years at university as a Math and Music major before changing at the last minute to English and Spanish. :geek: Music runs my life. :mrgreen: I only changed because my father said he was only footing the bill for 4 years and if I continued how I was, it would have taken 5 years. LOL :oops:

I have two box turtles and my oldest one has been my best buddy since I was about 9 years old. He's still rockin' on!

The thing I'm most stoked about is that I was voted by my senior graduating class in high school as CLASS CLOWN lol! :mrgreen: It's a family tradition. My father, uncles, and brother also took the titles in their graduating years LOL! :mrgreen: Wow, that was too many years ago! :oops: :mrgreen:

I think that's plenty about me LOL. :mrgreen:

I Can Speak A Little Italian And I Can Count Up To 10 In Italian! :mrgreen:

I Met Alan Alda Who I Also Like On September 24th 2007 I Got To Take Picture With Him He Was Waiting For Me To Take The Picture Then He Ask Me How I Was Doing I Couldn't Answer Him I Was Tongue Tied Then I Told Him At The Table Thanks For Taking The Picture And Signing The Book For Me He Said Your Welcome Then He Said Thanks For Coming And Then I Got To Shake His Hand Its So Soft! :mrgreen:

Nice to get to know all of you better! I've already gone on and on about myself throughout the intros, and so forth, (semi-retired, & etc.) ! I will share that I cannot polka , am not musically inclined , and can only speak one language ! Nor, have I met Robin Gibb or Alan Alda ! You are all very gifted, and, hopefully, your good fortune will rub off on me! They say it is never too late !

Oh, I know, I am a tree hugger (aren't we all :? ), and I have planted several white pine trees around my place ! As much as I complain about the cold weather, these native conifers are beautiful all year round and continually lift my spirits !

Some of you already know this, but I have 5 major obsessions: Gibbs, Beatles, Monkees, M*A*S*H (very jealous of someone up there! ) and Peanuts (Snoopy, etc). I ALMOST met Charles Schulz once.

I suppose you all know that I am obsessed with the Bee Gees. But aren't we all?

Other things I love are:
- DOGS (I need to figure out how to get dogs back into my life; I used to do pet-sitting while I was in grad-school)
- Muppets and Sesame Street (my latest find is a pair of Kermit the Frog tennis shoes ), and I love watching the Sesame Street Old School DVD sets; and no I don't think I am too old for Sesame Street and Muppets :lol: One can never be too old for that! :!:
- sing along to my favorite music (with very limited skill :oops: )
- Outdoors, camping, hiking, .......
- Cooking and reading

I got a PhD in Biochemistry a few years back, and am currently working in Cancer research at a University in Chicago :geek:

I started out in Germany, but have been in the US for almost 14 years now. I am an American trapped in a German body I am hoping to eventually change that, though.

This thread rocks! :mrgreen: Keep posting people!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

wow you are all too cool! i havent got much talent in anything in particular.i am a dreamer,a romantic as well, old fashioned in a way. my daughter calls me betty crocker i hate violence and rude,snobby people.i think thats why i like robin-who i was able to meet!he doesnt come across as either, and from what i heard neither is Barry, or was Mo.they never forgot where they came from. i love castles-i want to see a real one some day, i love old houses, which is why the Prebendal has peaked my interest. Im into genealogy.love to read, love music. i tend to be pessimistic, which isnt always a bad thing-it makes me more cautious.but it also holds me back-those dreams are hard to come by when i feel they are impossible.i am a libra-which i fit perfectly-i am loyal, fun loving, friendly, very shy(till i get to know you).i am a nurse at a nursing home, i love doing what i do, just hate management :evil: and am considering a job change. i am a single mom with 3 kids-just 2 at home with me.ive got a turtle and a cat. i learned how to drive just last year-im still very nervous on the road, but what a difference it has made-ive got more freedom, and more choices.

You have met Robin Gibb :!: :!: :!: That is way cool 8-) I am so jealous.



It's all about balance! There is some gray area between pessimism and optimism I divide my dreams into daydreams (fiction that keeps me entertained) and achievable dreams that I can work towards.



Management usually doesn't help.... I think it is there to make the life for the rest of us more challenging



Good for you!



I don't think I could live without my car! I am very American that way

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll find a job you will be happier with. Keep us posted!

thanks for your positive input! i cant seem to find the gray balance you talk about though...always closer to black...meeting Robin was a dream come true-so it does happen-never say never, but now my dream is to meet him again, i was so starstruck i forgot to take his picture but he was very nice, friendly, and ill never forget those eyes...anyway...where was i? oh yes, life has been an upward battle, seems i fight onething and another takes its place, when good things happen i am too afraid to celebrate-because something bad happens to ruin it. but ive learned to cherish the little things in life, i didnt get robins pic, but at least i met him. ive never met anyone here face to face but i still can enjoy many wonderful friendships.

It's a process, slow and painful at times I know what you mean about uphill battles chasing each other All you can do is plough along and work your way through, and keep believing that things will work out eventually.

You should always celebrate good things! Why ruin a perfectly good moment because something might ruin it in the future? :P

It sounds like you got a pretty good mental image of Robin from your meeting I don't think you'll ever forget, with or without a photo

Sorry! I sound like a therapist :? Better stop before I get too carried away!

Susanne

its ok, theres many that think i need therapy...its taking me time, but im doing ok.
that image of robin will always be with me, im sure of it.and it took place in the perfect setting, in front of the Prebendal!i can still smell the air, so fresh and clean,he had beautiful flower beds in front, and the birds were chirping away!thame is really nice too, i recommend it for anyone wanting to go for a nice peaceful vacation-getting away from it all type of get away. my friend liked it but didnt care for the pace of it-shes used to the city, and city hours, in thame-if i remember correctly, nothing opened before 9am. and closed early. really nice shops to browse around. and st marys church was the perfect spot to take a break. i really miss it.

Sounds like a wonderful place! I think I need to plan my next vacation :lol:

Did you meet Robin's dogs, too? They look so cute

no but i wouldve love to, i am a dog lover, never seen irish wolfhounds before!
yes its a cute town, accomodations are very reasonable also, but can be hard to find at times, if you go, first thing id do in planning is reserve a room...we stayed at the old trout, if you want fancier, go to the spread eagle(ive heard rumors Robin sometimes frequents there)

I don't know if I can afford fancy, but maybe I can go there for drinks (or just stake out the entrance )

Thanks for the tips! I will keep that in mind Need to come up with a plan to meet the dogs, though!

then i think you would love thame. ever want something bad enough that you cant stand it? well thats how i feel about trying to make another visit. im not giving up!its just frustrating, there were several times plans were started, but something always seems to come up.right now its mostly time and kids.but im determined.also-i might mention, the buses run very frequently-incase you want to visit other nearby sites. i found that amazing, thame is smaller than windber, but yet our buses consist of approx 6 runs per day, about 4 on saturdays, and nothing on sunday. and all rides stop at 6 pm.im not sure, but i believe its much better in the bigger cities-like philadelphia, so you can see why driving is very important to me.

From what I have seen it seems like a perfect place to get away from it all So much to do, and so little time First thing's first though (sorry Robin ), I really want to go and meet my nephew in Taiwan :P web-cam is just not the same as meeting him in person. He is adorable; not that I am biased or anything



A time or two The two things I feel that way about now (and have for the past 14 years) are being able to stay in the US permanently, and to be in a position where I can finally get a couple of dogs :!: It will happen, ...... some day!



I am sure you'll make it back there some day. But waiting can be soooooooooooo hard at times :!:



I would probably rent a car. As much as I love Robin and the dogs (and it is tempting to just stake out his house and the hotel you were talking about :mrgreen: ), I would want to explore the surroundings I love to travel :!:

If I ever do get to go, I'll be sure to check in with you for some last minute tips!

Wow, a lot of interesting people here. I know what it is to want something bad and eventually it does happen. If it's meeting Robin you'll meet him when you're ment to. You're allowed to have more than one dream and more than one muse for it. And sometimes, like with me and Robin, it might have to go away for awhile then come back and remind you how wonderful it was. When I was in junior high I loved Sgt Pepper, a lot of things from then were put away but some are coming back all these years later.

Outside of my art and dolls I write, screenwriting and fan fiction, with all that mess over I can work on it again. It appears I needed Robin and his brothers. It might have started with looking for someone to cause my House doll to suffer from someone else's love songs but now I've been inspired for the serise I work on for something about the bond of brotherhood.

This topic is quiet cool 8-)

Didn't knew that so many different people love Robins music and the BeeGees.

Now something about me:

As you can see on the right hand side I live in Berlin. I work as a pharmacist in a pharmacy.

I speek three foreign languages- English (of course), French and Russian. But my spoken French and Russian got a little bit rosty

From the age of 7 to 20 I danced at the "Friedrichstadtpalast". That'a a theatre in the city of Berlin. There I got a classic ballet-education. But now there's no more time for this hobby due to the different shifts at work.

So I concentrate on an other hobby- Bobbin lace making. I learned this very old craft 20 years ago. An aunt taught me that. First I started making small bookmarks. I made a lot of them. (Does anybody needs lace-bookmarks??? :?: ???) But now I prefer modern things like pictures. Right now I'm working on a gift for my father's 60th anniversery in December. He's an engineer working at the railroad- so I'm making a lace train.

OK, that should be enough for the first time.

Ines

Ok I hope this will work. It's my first try to post a pic.
Here we go.

On the left hand side you can see me at a meeting of lacemakers last year.

That's awesome Lavandula! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hey, sparki, read your bio earlier, and just always wanted to mention how, along with all your other attributes (among others [ 8-) ], I share your historical interests), that you didn't highlight your way cool sense of humor ! You provided so much comic relief :lol: on the previous forum (merry maids, men in tights, fur & etc :mrgreen: ) ! Just loved it ! Hope I get to meet our favorite 8-) (and you ), I'll probably be too nervous :shock: to get a picture too :mrgreen: ! Thanks for all the laughter, it is the best antidote :mrgreen: !

Men in tights or Robin in tights lurking around Sherwood Forrest forcing over paid executives to give more money to charity?

That sounds quite intriguing! Sorry I missed that :mrgreen:

awe your making me blush...id love to meet all of you too, i am amazed at all the cultures worldwide that are represented on this forum, sounds corny i know, but its a small flicker of hope that the rest of the world just might be able to get along as well as we do some day.
as for merry maids, men in tights, etc...its all robins fault of course, its that voice, and those eyes :shock: that does it to me.i hope robin doesnt mind being the subject of our humor,but ive heard hes got a sense of humor that i think is comparable to my own, besides, laughing is better than crying! so back to the naughty corner...i mean...all those things you were talking about... :twisted:....

Lacemaking! Some day I'll figure out how to use my bobbin kit!

As for humor I could go on for a slight while, having just finished something I'm half ashamed of and still laughin about. Stuff like the Worst Musical Ever works because I know that movie so well. Well informed humor works best. Know who you're poking fun at and those who know them will apreciate it. Mo might never have said it but when an impersonator says I'm the crazy Bee Gee that's Mo in a nutshell.

now how did i miss this post?!!the naughty corner has arrived!about time we start shaking off the dust covers....
anyway...wish me luck...im trying to get a new car...well new USED car! ive got a pt cruiser sitting outside my door, on loan until the dealers can try to get a loan for me that i can afford. theres a small chance i wont get it-its going to be hard giving it back!its cute, pearl blue(blues my fav color)and its a very fun car.i didnt know it till i started researching it, but its design is from the UK,which makes it really special. i found cars located in the UK, the design is very much alike.keep your fingers crossed, i should know something very soon....

That sounds great, Sparki ... be sure everything's crossed for you here!

Good luck from me too Sparki....hope you're the car's new owner soon!!

bad news, i didnt get it...a very unsatisfying experience at the dealers, as soon as i walked in the salesman said i got the car, then the finance guy said i didnt-too much upside down equity-even though my payment history is excellent. then the sales guy said the next day they would find a couple of other cars i WOULD qualify for, the same guy was off today, and some lady said again that i couldnt do it. quite frustrating. but ive got less than 4 years on my current car, less than that if i make bigger payments.maybe its just not the right time. they were going to offer me a very nice trade in price for mine, so that is good news(it was good despite the dent i put in it :?-i think its easily fixed, just needs popped out, i swear i didnt see the yellow pole as i was backing out one nite at work,but in my defense, its on the right passenger side, and im short-hard to see, also last year a friend was giving me a ride home from work, shes got the same kind of car, and short like me, she also damaged her car backing out at work, except she hit another car :shock: oops...)so im a little sad today but the more i ponder it, maybe its for the best.
