Alright, Steve Smith gave me the number, eight I think, yesterday but Ive been having a hard time coming up with the things to put down. Seeing some other peoples posts gave me some ideas, so now I will try my hand at it. 1. I am a ham radio operator, KE4RXJ, since 1994, which some may know, but most do not know WHY I became licensed. After several years of NAGGING I still didnt take the test, but when I won a Yaesu HT at the local Hamfest, I had this pretty little radio and I couldnt use it! So two weeks later I took and passed the tech no-code test. Hubby remarked you mean if I had gone out and BOUGHT you a radio you would have gotten your license a long time ago???? Yup. 2. I have had the same email address since at least 1994, probably before then, but I know I had it before we bought our house. 3. I have half-sisters I havent even met yet. Maybe even a half-brother, but that has never been confirmed. 4. I put the half-sisters in quotes because in our family we dont do halfs nor steps. They are either brothers or not, dads/moms or not. The only exception is my stepson, who technically is not any longer my stepson since his father and I divorced, but I will call him my stepson forever. He is my stepson, because he is only 10 years younger than I am, and that would have been just too weird even for me....lol. The person I call my nana is my ex-stepfathers ex-stepfathers second or third wife.... 5. I was voted Most likely to become a manager of a Burger King in high school. I was the only one in the periphery of the yearbook crew who actually had a job (at you guessed it, a BK in Germany) even though I never worked on the yearbook committee myself. 6. I have actually helped build a satellite that was launched from the European spaceport near Kourou in French Guiana, but not as a job, as a volunteer. AMSAT Phase 3D, I have pictures! 7. #6 is important because I started my college life as an Aerospace Engineering and Space Science major, because I figured since I could never pass the flight physical to fly them, Id might as well build them! Mind you, us engineering majors picked on those who washed out of the programs unmercifully, when they transferred to Psychology majors. Then I became a counselor myself.... 8. What else? Ummmm...... I really want to become a medical doctor. Have wanted to almost my whole life, until a really bad high school biology experience, (she was retiring, and really didnt care about teaching the INTERESTING parts of biology) I couldnt stand all that naming and classification, and I thought if I hated biology that much, and medicine is almost all biology, that I would hate medical school. I regret that assumption now. I was then going to be a lawyer, before watching Hill Street Blues episodes made me realize that I probably would end up getting disbarred for having more ethical standards than most lawyers, and settled on the Aerospace Engineering thing. I still want to be a doctor when I grow up. I wont give you a number if you like this status, I only did this because I forgot to tell Steve that I dont do these things, and in the spirit of fairness, I felt obligated to do as assigned.
