Different facts about ourselves
 

I've been wanting to start this thread for a minute - borrowed the idea from another forum. Performed a search, but madam moderators, if this thread is a repeat, you know what to do!

Some of you probably know things about each other through PM's, IM's and phone conversations, but are there things that you'd like others to know about you? Do you speak several different languages? Do you play an "odd" instrument? Have an "odd" occupation?

I'll start. . .

I have 4 other half brothers and a sister and have only met 1 of them.

There are 4 generations of women in my family still living (grandma, mom, me, and my daughter).
I was a news director at a local radio station here in Central Florida for 4 and a half years.
