I love socks.  Once it starts getting cooler, I have to wear socks to bed or else I will be cold the rest of the night.  No matter how many blankets I have on, socks are the only thing that warm me up.

One thing people don't know about me that I can think off is that I can't remember their name or sometimes their face too.  i just talk to them like I remember them and without saying their name. I takes me forever to remember someones name and face.

Are those natural rocks okarol, I have never seen or heard of them. They remind me of rocks you buy for fish tanks.

Are those natural rocks okarol, I have never seen or heard of them. They remind me of rocks you buy for fish tanks.
Nearly everything used to come in bottles or jars, and this is basically trash (recycled!) They have have broken and tumbled in the waves.  Ocean Glass, Sea Glass, Beach Glass, Sea Gems or Mermaids Tears are the more common names given to pieces of glass gathered at the edges of oceans and lakes all over the world that have been shaped and smoothed over time by wind, waves, and sand.

What do you do with ocean glass?  they are very pretty and i thought the same thing too, fish tanks :)
I collect them.  ;D
Every time I go to the beach I pick up a little more. Clear and green glass are more common. Brown (beer bottle) is also pretty common but harder to see on the sand. I love when I find aqua or blue or red pieces as they are more rare. I have a small collection of old bottles and I keep the ocean glass in a window with them (I will take a photo and show ya.) As more and more plastic is used I imagine ocean glass will be harder to find.

That I am totally addicted to The Sims!  I love that game....I have a few of the expansion packs and stuff packs....I got all geeked out over Seasons.  Such a geek.  But hey, my hubby travels a lot and I record all our shows so we can catch up on them over the weekend and what else is there to do after I put my child to bed?  I feel soooo immature!

:shy;   I am terrified of public speaking. (I hope to overcome this SOMEDAY!)

And I on the other hand like to speak in public.  I feel comfortable in front of a group.  But when I was in HS........no way!  When I was young I was painfully shy, didn't talk to hardly anybody,  My first date was when I was 18 and I was so shy I don't think I said a word.  If you're shy and introverted like I was it's hard.  My grandmother used to say I was backwards so I was ashamed of myself when I was a little girl for years.  When I was about 19, 20 I made myself start to talk to people, start a conversation.  I introduced myself to people even though I was in a panic inside.  I actully got a job where I had to work with the public.  So over the years it's gotten easier.  I just needed time to find out who I was.

I used to do dead womens hair.  I was a hairdresser for 20 years until I retired and in our community there were 2
funeral homes.  If someone died and didn't have her own hairdresser they called me.  I also did the hair of my
own customers when they died.  Good paying job. :rofl;

You may want to invest in a nice looking wig, Mimi, just in case.....

What do people not know about me? Hm. I'm  pretty much an open book, I say what I mean, and my face is very expressive,
which HAS gotten me into trouble before....

I may not always talk about problems, but if people ask me a question, I'll tell them the truth (as I see it!), but not bluntly though.
