I'm 19, university student(maths), of latin heritage but with dual nationality.
When I'm not in lectures or studying, I go gliding with my friends from the gliding club or jump out of plane with friends from the skydiving club that I founded in December. I use my youth(that is to say lack of grey hairs) as an excuse to go everywhere and try anything I feel worth doing.
Here I am flying a 65 year old boat with wings(Slingby T-21):

It's so nice to "meet" the other "side" to everyone! It's true about preconceived notions...after reading through this thread (just noticed it!), I realize I had a lot of people pegged wrong!
I am 38, divorced for 3 years after an 18 yr marriage. Have 4 kids ages 22, 18, 6, and my baby will be one on Sunday! My 22 yo daughter is a college graduate, married for almost one year to an awesome man who is a youth minister, has a great job, and is my best friend. My 18 yo son lives with my ex, is a senior in high school, and is the best baseball player in Tulsa. My 6 yo son is actually my great nephew, whom I've had custody of since he was 3 wks old, so he's mine! My baby daughter was a surprise, but a blessing, and we're celebrating her birthday tomorrow.
I love to read, scrapbook, spend time with friends and family, keep a clean and organized home, but hate to cook!
I was laid off from my Administrative Assistant's job, so now I'm cleaning homes, which works well right now, as it's flexible (great with a one year old). I have also done a lot of substitute teaching in the past.
As for gray hairs, if I didn't color mine monthly, it would be a 50/50 mix of red and gray. I'm way too young to have so much gray hair!
I added a pic to my profile. My hair is all red now though.

Hey, our twin boys will be one on Sunday. We're hoping for good weather since we've invited more people than our house will hold. Right now the 10-day forecast calls for rain, but they're usually wrong that far out.

How awesome that is!! So we were both very happy on April 26, 2008. I wanted to celebrate on her birthday, but my daughter has a marathon to run that day, so we're doing it tomorrow instead. Supposed to be cloudy but 80 degrees here. I hope your weather turns out perfect!!
Funny how our preconceived notions can be so far from the truth....I thought you were a "nice old man"....lol....because of the name, I thought you were a man...but you were nice in your posts to me... Nice to meet you MRS. Curly...
You mean like this?? Too funny!!! Nice to meet you too, Mrs Sherryturner!

LOL...awe, the famous threesome.... and yes, I have had quite a few comments because of them and the name curly. And they assumed I was male....because of it.
I've been told I do resemble him some what!!!! ....JK...
And yes, I do remember the comment....lol
Matter fact others in that thread were wondering if I was going to lead you on to believe I was a 'stand up guy'!!
But I thought it would be funnier to see your reaction to the 'stand up gal'....lol!
Really my intentions were not to embarrass ya!! Actually at the time I thought, how am I going to tell him I'm not a dude!!
36 yr old male. Bald. Acts 24. Loves college football and all its pageantry.
I'm a huge University of Tennessee fan and automatically assume any person who likes the University of Alabama is evil. My theory is 100% correct 65% of the time.
Alas now I'm in San Antonio with my beautiful wonderful wife... and I'm an amateur bbq person who totally enjoys smoking brisket, ribs, cream cheese stuffed sausage logs etc.
I shall be re-taking up photography again very soon.
P.S. Point of interest. If you are ever in Knoxville TN (the picture above) and find yourself crossing that second bridge across the river.. Look for a place called "Smoky's Market". Lady behind the counter makes THE BEST grilled cheese sandwich.
Neat picture Big T, I have actually seen those bridges! We actually may move to Knoxville someday. Now how many coons have you barbecued since living in Texas??
ILNC, if you end up there they have an awesome fireworks display off the Chapman Highway bridge called Boomsday. It is a beautiful thing to see! I love Knoxville, such a beautiful place!
I am a SAHM and married to my bestest of best friends...Big T! We actually are celebrating our 8th Anniversary on Tuesday. We are a true love story, God had our paths literally cross on an interstate in Tennessee. We have a beautiful young daughter and I treasure every second I have with her. All I have to do is hear this song,and I break down in tears. YouTube - Steven Curtis Chapman Cinderella Music Video & story
I love love love to sing. If I could do that every second of everyday I would be thrilled. I would like to build a recording studio in our house and not ever sell one single thing from it. I wish I could play musical instruments like Allison Krauss, whose work I adore!
I love the beach and the mountains (right June ) and have been fortunate enough in my short life to live at each of them.
I also love the discussions that city-data have brought to our dinner table. While I don't post a lot anymore, I sure do read it all. It has helped us grow our marriage and our faith so for that I will forever be thankful!

I miss Knoxville.. I'm a mountain person.. as you know we aren't around many mountains here in south texas.
As to the coons.. I ... I can't do it. I can eat lots of stuff (and have) since being in San Antonio.. cow tongue.. cow cheek... but I just can't do racoon.
I think its because I had that kids magazine growing up that had a racoon on it with a ranger hat.
Now brisket... I could eat brisket all day long.
