Your response to Robyn's Quiz reveal a resourceful and energetic person with a dynamic approach to life. Did you cut your own shirt?

LOL! No, my instructor cut the shirt....but (and I swear this is the honest truth!) the shirt was Bill's -- he left it on top the lockers in the Physics dept and I just grabbed it on my way out that day...I had forgotten my 'extra' at home and I didn't want to cut my good blouse! :) :) I don't own a Harley...but I would love to! :) ;) Take care! :) Yvette
Comment from Treischel
Hi Roger. Good to get to know you. I submitted mine and am now checking the others out.
1. Oh yes. Seems to be a popular choice. It's bound to happen someday.
2. Ah, those good old days.
3. Hmm. Not sure, but I'll go with The first one. Level seems too high for new grad.
4. Yea for small towns.
5. Awesome. Now there's a leg work out.

Thanx for the review, Treischel -- and, sorry, number one is true...it was my first position before I landed my job programming space station simulations for NASA in the 90's. :) ;) I don't own a Harley...yet! :) :) Thanx for stopping in today -- feel free to drop by any time! ;) Yvette
-
What a great way to start out. Congrats. Bet you programmed on my company's equipment - it was Univac, then Sperry, then Unisys, Loral, Lockheed. All the same company, same employees, just different owners.
-
Definitely...and, of course, back then the rooms were FREEZING so the computer equipment stayed 'happy' .... the cold I do not miss! ;) :) And you're right with the names/employees...mine only changed once but worked on a few with some that went through the Lockheed then Loral then LockMart... lol! And then those poor folks out there at Rockwell (wonder if anybody even remembers that name anymore!) :) ;) Take care and feel free to stop in again....
-
Oh Yeah! We went from Unisys, to Paramax, back to Unisys, then Loral, finally Lockheed. Back then we said the next one will be PARALYSIS. Lol.

Getting to know you from afar is like cherishing a distant star. Glad you gave me a closer look. ;) I believe number one and number three, but not number 2 because I can't ride it. "My Harley will make you wanna scream (and you can't ride it!)!" I'll see if I can post a bio on myself.

Okay, so I'm wondering if you were hitting the tequila when you wrote the first line there - LOL! - but really put a smile on my face so just don't admit it if you were 'fibbing'. :) ;) :) And you're so right, Jose, I don't own a Harley, but I would definitely like to! :) ;) Haven't seen your bio if you posted so, let me know if you do -- take care and have a great weekend! :) ;) Yvette

Comment from Teresa Alford
Wasn't that fun? I answered her questions too, but I may have done it the wrong way because now I see an Add Chapter link. Oh well, I think Robyn saw it.
Which one was your lie? First solo,,,shirt?? TA ";~)

Comment from robyn corum
YM,
OMS!! I wanna be YOU! hahahaha! You sound like a real daredevil! I have always been a big chicken -- until I aged a bit and then swore I was gonna try EVERYTHING. I've lived by that motto with every opportunity that's come my way since - though, really, how many opps come your way when your over 50? hahaha
I did run with a crazy gang of folks when I was in my teens and probably shouldn't be here, but it was all because of THEIR stupidity, not mine.
I loved your answers and I'm soooo glad you decided to play along. (And that you put it in the BOOK! THANK YOU for that. I don't know WHY that part seems so hard for people. --sigh--)
As far as the lie goes, I have NO IDEA. You have really stumped me. I'm just gonna wait for your answer.
Thanks for playing!
Please holler if you know of any others who are participating. Thanks, again!

LOL - enjoyed it!! Know that CD Richards did not add (maybe a Teresa Alford and I'm sure you got Phyllis..?) I'll keep my eye out. :) :) Oh, and I've never owned a Harley ....but it's certainly on my Bucket List! ;) :) Take care and enjoy the sun today and tomorrow -- it's cold but at least it's not rainy or gloomy!! :) Yvette
-
YAY! Thanks for letting me know. I just got both of them - thanks to you!!! If people don't put their quizzes in the book, it's really hard to keep up with them. So I have to rely on word of mouth. Have a spectacular day, my friend!
-
Oh, wait! I forgot to comment on the tap dancing!!! That is one of my goals in life. I have ALWAYS wanted to learn tap dancing - but I'd like to find someone who wants to do it with me.
--sigh--
It's beginning to look like that is an impossibility. AND I'm quickly growing older. hahahaha I better just go ahead and jump in. I'm so jealous of you - and SOOO INSPIRED. Thanks!
-
LOL! You know I thought Gene Kelly hung the moon! ;) Would have given anything to be Ginger Rogers and such to dance with either him or Fred Astaire...not sure I wouldn't kill myself or, at a minimum, break a proverbial show business leg now! LOL! :) Glad my craziness and, as my mother dubbed it, 'head-strongness' inspired you!! :) :) Take care fellow Alabama Lady! :) Yvette
-
Me, toooooo!!! I adore Gene Kelly! Still go nuts when I watch Singing in the Rain and see Donald O'Connor dance on the wall. hahahaha! Love, love, love!!
-
Really? Where are you?
-
Here in Grant, just north of Guntersville ... aren't you in L.A. somewhere therebouts...? :) ;)
-
I'm in Hartselle. Almost exactly between Huntsville and Bham on I65/565
-
omg! We looked in houses in Hartselle when moving "to the country" from Huntsville when I retired from full time! :) ;) We're 'cross two counties' neighbors! :) ;) Good to know! :) ;) Take care, ma'am!! :) ;)
-
We will have to try to get together sometime -- maybe we can meet in the middle?
Comment from Thomas Bowling
Very good. I know all about you and so does the NSA and Russia. Once you put it on the internet, everyone has access to your former secrets. Robyn is a mole.

Comment from susand3022
Hi,
Recently I was told that my reviewing basically sucks. So this week,
this is my review. I'm taking a survey... Would you rather:
A: Have a true review
B: Have a certain 5-star generic review
Choose wisely and be sure of your choice so I can save myself the
needless time and tears over those who don't want to hear them.
I'll make a list.
And remember... LEARNING IS EARNING!

I do not know who told you about your reviewing, but I've rather enjoyed our exchanges...especially with Fonda and her 'ebullient' yesterday - lol! So glad for the smiles - much appreciated especially with school starting back this week ...ugh! ;) ;) Thanx for dropping by! ;)

Hi Yvette! You've been looking at someone elses paper!!! lol Another person also did a tap dancing routine in the talent show and came from a small town and was in the paper all the time for the same reasons you were... You're all over the place!!! LOL This is just fun!
Comment from Cindy McIntyre
I have been enjoying reading these "Get to Know Me" responses. LOVE your first answer about us making contact. There's just too much mystery for there not be "more" out there... I'm struggling to guess the lie. I'll go with the solo flight/shirt?

Gotcha, Cindy -- I don't own a Harley...but it is definitely hanging out on my Bucket List, ma'am! :) ;) I actually 'borrowed' one of the guys in the Physics department's shirt that he had spilled stuff on in lab (and left on top the lockers!) the day before -- pretty sure he never missed it! :) :) Thanx so much for the read and review -- take care! :) Yvette
