thanks

Those are all cute pictures! Who would have thought there would be so many saltwater enthusiasts on YT?? Our eel pulled the same stunt of jumping out of the tank, but we were quick with the tongs and then a bunch of gutter guard on our tank so he couldn't do it again. That was not fun. I hate the look of fish out of water. I can't imagine seeing a fish that had tossed itself out and mangled itself.

Blech! I have never been snorkeling before but I am considering getting a scuba certification just for that reason. Aquariums and reefs are SO much more interesting to me now that I know more science about the whole thing. Too cool.

Have you ever surfed Folly Beach, SC? Just curious because in the area, it's the best surfing

Can't wait to meet you and Lil' Lucy

Boy am I late on picking this up

I haven't surfed Folly Beach, though my husband has and loves it. It's on my list!

If you are real surfers at heart, which you seem to be, I can see why he would love Folly. The whole city/island is so calm/cool/relaxed/surfer mentality! I love it there

The neighboring beach is Isle of Palms (also known for surfing), but the people who live there are all wealthy and THEY KNOW IT!...act like snots

But anyway...every day on Folly there's surfers, and I personally just love to watch! Hope to see you down here sometime in the future

I've surfed Isle of Palms many times. Our company owns Wild Dunes Resort so I usually visit at least once a year. I've just never Folly yet. Thomas has been surfing for 25 + years. I'm relatively new to surfing, I surfed growing up but I got serious about it 5 years ago. I grew up on Cape Hatteras so I'm a water gal through and though. I LOVE Charleston and I'm always trying to find excuses to visit for work

mistyinca · 06-11-2008, 03:25 PM

LOL!

Isn't it funny how huge YT is and big threads can go on for weeks before you know they're here!

Anyway, here's a bit about me. I have not yet sent Lisa anything secret about me. I can't think of anything. I thought of something, but I don't know if it counts.

Anyway, parts of this are copied from another similar thread...

I am 38 years old. I have been married for 17 years. I have two teenage boys: Joshua, 15 and David, 13. My oldest son has Asperger's Syndrome, which is on the autistic spectrum, but it is quite different from what most people think of when they think of autism. I live in southern California, but I lived in Jackson, MS for a short while when I was a teenager, as my mother's family is from there, so I have a deep connection to the south.

I do not work out of the home, but I am always busy, either with my kids, a project, or other things.

I am one of those types of people that will make or do anything myself. Sometimes, it is to save money (since if something I want costs too much, I'd rather find a way to do it myself rather than go without) sometimes it is just because I want to see if I can do it. Hence, I have sewn my entire bedroom, re-upholstered my dining room chairs, put up wainscotting in our entry, living room, dining room, and hallnew entry.jpg . I've even installed the automatic sprinkler system in my backyard. In the past, I have refinished furniture, and I recently re-did our cheapo mdf cabinets to look like dark stained wood.

I've also played with making other things, such as: homemade soap (which was a home-based business back in the late 1990's), cheese, malt, yogurt, sourdough starter (the wild yeast in Ontario, CA is not good for making bread, btw

).

Speaking of home-based businesses...I have (unsuccessfully

) run three. The first one was as a Medela rental station. I rented and sold hospital-grade breastpumps to nursing mommies. The second one was a hand-made soap company. And the third, most recently was DoggyStyle by Misty--the dog dresses that I made last year. I got terribly burnt out on sewing, and so I put it all away and haven't dragged it out since.

I recently returned to school after a long hiatus and earned my Bachelors degree in English Literature in 2006. I graduated with highest honors, departmental honors, a member of 3 honor societies, and I was nominated by the English department for most outstanding student (though I didn't win that one, it was an honor to be nominated.) 100_0123.jpg

One of my hobbies is couponing. Yes, I am one of those that can go into a store and buy $120 worth of groceries for less than $5. My goal this year was to completely eliminate our credit card debt by saving extra money on groceries. The goal was to have it done by the end of the year, but as of the end of May, I succeeded.

My biggest project is me, and I consider myself to be a work-in-progress. After suffering for several years with chronic back pain, I have finally made the move to get better. Since the first of the year, I have lost nearly 20 pounds (still have a long way to go!) I went through physical therapy, and I have joined a gym, where I work out with a personal trainer two days a week on strengthening my core so that my back will stop hurting one day.

That's me.

RONLYNN · 06-11-2008, 03:44 PM

Misty...you are amazing!! Your house projects sound and LOOK wonderful!! And going back and getting your degree with honors...very cool!!

patty58 · 06-11-2008, 05:00 PM

Misty you are awesome but then I already knew that. I cannot wait to meet you in person.

Hi all - I know not everyone attending has posted on this thread yet, but most of you know I am a yoga & pilates instructor. Would anyone be interested in doing a little yoga on Saturday morning before breakfast? I would be happy to lead a class somewhere..............

I'll be busy setting everything up, so I won't be able to, but it sounds like fun! How great to do exercise for your job!! That takes care of my problem of not wanting to workout when I get done with work!!!
