The Bottom Line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is part of a write off organized and hosted by SarahLovesAdam. http://www.epinions.com/content_3654459524 -Birth date: August 1, 1971 -Height: 5'1 (and a half!!!!!) -Eye color: Hazel -Hair color: Brown with highlights -What does your name mean: I subscribe to many names. lilvoyce-one of my user names I give myself because in my earlier childhood years I had always felt that I did not have a voice or a say in the world. I am a survivor of many things, incest survivor, cancer survivor...etc...the list goes on. Another user name at other sites that I belong to is Survivor32. This one is easy to figure out. Lil Momma, and Ms. Hey!!! Names I had received when I was working for the prison and at the high school. I was short and very mothering. Everyone calls me Ms. Hey, because instead of saying hello, I always say Hey!! Anytime I needed to speak with an inmate or a student, I would chase them down saying, "Hey there!" This name just stuck with me. People still call me Ms. Hey!! My real name: Barbara Elizabeth Ann (*****, Barbara stands for the Barbarian, and Elizabeth Ann is my confirmed name as I was raised Catholic as a child. I was named after Elizabeth Ann Setton. -High school graduation year: 1989 -Favorite relatives: My children, my hubby, and all of my animals, especially Buster my Boxer. -Summer memory: I was walking a dog for my Sister-In-Law one summer and instead of the dog peeing on the bush, he missed and got me all over the leg! Grrr....Sorry, that was the first thing that popped into my mind. I love going to the ocean and being on the boat. I love to watch the dolphins swim and get burnt to a crisp. I miss being able to go snorkeling, and diving for scallops. I love to fish. Memories of the fish I caught, remembering when my son (age 6) caught his first fish. I miss going to the car wash with the kids and the dogs. I miss being able to wash my car, of all the silly things. I miss summer walks in the rain. I miss the hot summers working in the prison. I was a supervisor and one time we had an overload of watermelons brought to the institution. There was no air-conditioner in the kitchen where I supervised. It was so hot that day. I had placed some of the melons in the freezer. We had a lot of racial wars in the prison, especially in the kitchen. We had a huge inspection coming and EVERYONE pulled together to get the kitchen straight for me. We surprised the inmates with ice cold watermelon. They were not allowed to use knifes to cut it open. It was amazing to watch them as we pulled the melons out of the freezer and have them attempt to split them apart. They all came together for a brief moment of peace. They were like little boys opening Christmas presents. -Favorite TV shows: I really don't watch television. If I have to I will watch the food channel, world link television, MTV, and Jerry Springer. I really hate Jerry Springer, but I can't stop watching him. -What's on your mouse pad: A red glowing light. -In the car- ac or windows: I love the windows down, and the hair blowing all over the place! I love the wind and the heat, and a nice tall glass of diet "POP." As you can tell I am not a Florida native or I would call it "Soda." -Do you believe in yourself: Hm..sometimes I believe in myself very strongly and at other times I feel that I can be weak. -Favorite game: Hm..I better not say. -Favorite drink: Pina Colada non-alcohol -Favorite food: Lasagna, Squid, Lobster, my home made pireoges and anything Grandma cooks. -Favorite colors: black -Favorite cigarettes: Marlboro Ultra-light -Favorite sounds: My children laughing, ca-ching, ca-ching, ca-ching, and then sirens going off because I won at the slots -Favorite smell: I love the smell of coffee but I hate the taste -Favorite thing to do on a weekend: Write, read, rate, for this site, and spend money when I have it. -Favorite soundtrack: Not sure -Where do you see yourself in 10 years: Hopefully Cancer free, back to work, being able to walk again. I hope that I can do something other than what I am doing now, which isn't to much. I miss being busy. -First thought in the morning: "Will my legs work today?" -Do you get motion sickness: Oh My Gosh!!! My hubby went to take me on a gambling boat. I had never been on one. I have always been boating on calmer waters such as the Gulf. Well, we went to Jax, Fl. on the mini cruise boat. My husband went to the office to purchase the tickets. I decided to walk over and glance at the ship. I was on land and because I was staring at the moving ship, I started to get so sick my hubby had to carry me to the bathroom. Oh my! I get very sick just looking at the water. Blah. -Roller coasters- deadly or exciting: Three days after having my surgery. I was into this kick, "I better do it all before I die syndrome." I made my hub take us to Georgia, to a theme park. The name of the ride was Sling Shot I believe. It was the Bomb!!!!!!! It wasn't a roller coaster, it was worse! I love all sorts of rides. I would like to bungee jump someday. I would have done it that day but my hubby did not want me to. -How many rings before you answer the phone: If there is one thing I hate, it is talking on the phone. I will do anything to avoid answering it. I hate talking so long that my ear turns red and swells up. I don't know how people can just talk so long. I love my Granny to death but she calls me everyday for about two hours. She likes to talk about her prune juice elixor, heating pads, neighborhood gossip, false teeth, how the price of stool softener has risen in the past ten years, medicine, she asks what we are having for dinner, and insists on telling me how I can adjust my recipes to make them "much better." She still calls me Barbie Ann after 32 years!!! I love her to pieces, but my delicate ears can't take being on the phone for that long. -Are you a good friend: I would like to think that I am a good friend. I try to listen to my friends and only offer advice when asked. I am loyal to my friends and would give the kitchen sink to them if I had it to give. -Chocolate or Vanilla cake: I like New York Style Cheese Cake, but I guess I will have to take chocolate in this case. -What do you drive: Pontiac Sunfire -Do you sleep with a stuffed animal: Yes! My hubby, I feed him very well. -Thunderstorms cool or scary: I love thunderstorms. Especially when the kids aren't at home and the lights go out along with my hubby's Sci-Fi channel..yeah....Get out the romantic candles!! -If you could meet one person in the World- I would have to say Bill Cosby. I did not have the greatest example for a father. I had always wished I could move in with the Huckstables. If I couldn't meet him, I would want to meet Jerry Springer so that I could tell him off. How dare him make money off of bringing these mentally ill people on his site, make fun of them, and then send them on there way with no help. What a jerk! -What is your zodiac sign: Leo -What do you wear to bed: It depends on the mood. -Do you eat stems of broccoli: If I am hungry enough -Guys- If a girl ever asked you for the shirt on your back, would you give it to her? N/A -Girls- Would you ever ask a guy for his shirt? If I wanted something to remember him by maybe. -If you could have any occupation when you get older, what would it be: If I could be younger, I would say that I would have liked to have been in the Marines. If I get any older than I feel....probably a judge for disability cases. You see it is easy for the Judge to SIT there and say that he has had several heart attacks and such...Well if I can work so can you....blah..blah...blah... Some people don't have the luxury of sitting around playing God with others lives. Some people with Cancer and other illnesses actually bust their hump for a living, unlike that Judge. I think I would be a great Judge. You see, you really can't judge someone unless you have been in there shoes. Even then, we each have different bodies. Here is an example. My Disability lawyer had a man come in. He was a very tall and sort of stalky guy. He had applied for disability and was turned down. Even my lawyer thought that he was not disabled. He thought that this man was trying to jerk the system. He said that he could not work because of his weight. He was turned down once again, and then the next day after receiving his denial he died in this sleep of sleep apthnea. I don't think you can judge a book by its cover. Never underestimate someones pain. Take the time and do the research. I think I could be a fair judge. -If you could dye your hair one color, Blue streak just once in my life -If you could have a tattoo, I have one. I got it when I was about 14. It is a long story and I regret it. -Favorite brand of gum: SpongeBob Bubble Yum Pineapple!!!! -What is your favorite quote: "If You Can't Be Good...Then Be Good At It." -Have you ever been in love: Many loves, only one soul-mate -What's on your walls in your room: paint -Is the glass half-empty or half-full: If the glass is half-empty or half-full, then it isn't mine, I have to have it all or nothing. -Which do you prefer- Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese Doritos: Four Cheese Blend Doritos -Favorite flavor Snapple: Nah... -Which one, Coke or Pepsi: Coke -Which kind of milk is your favorite: Fat-free -If you were to kill someone, which method would you use? uhh...Kindness -Are you a righty, lefty, or ambidextrous: righty -Do you type with your fingers on the right keys: Yes, I hate it when I see people that do not know how to type try and type with just two fingers. I call it "Hen Pecking." -When you meet a person of the opposite sex what do you notice first: I plead the fifth -What's under your bed: Hand-cuffs, baseball bat, my poetry pad, my diary, my bible, my flashlight, and reading material. -What's the best number in the World: 7321 -What is your dream car: New Pontiac Sunfire -Who is your biggest crush right now: My hubs -Nickname: He calls me Darlin -School: "Old School" -Bacon Bits Or croutons: Yuck....pepperoni, cheese, black olives, onions -Favorite Salad Dressing: Ranch -Do you Drink: Once upon a time -What type of Shampoo/Conditioner: Redkin and Paul Mitchell -Have you ever been skinny dipping: yes -Do you make fun of people: no -Have you ever been convicted of a crime: Love -One pillow or two: 5 -Pets: I have a zoo, dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, anything that comes into the yard and needs a home. -Favorite Movies: Titanic -Favorite type of music: I love to play classical guitar, but I hate listening to classical music. I love rap, but I hate the words. I hate country, but I love the words. I love Celtic music, Andre Segovia, Ja Rule's voice, J Lo, Avra Lavine, Cher, Willie Nelson, Vince Gill's Voice and alot of his older music. I love New Age Bluegrass, Bluegrass, Buhdist chants, and alot of world music. -Hobbies: Fishing, Guitar, playing with kids, spending money, writing poems, cooking, stamp collecting, traveling, family time, and so much more. -Word or Phrase you overuse: "You ain't right" -Toothpaste: Whatever strikes me. -Piercing or tattoos: Piercings I have four, and one tattoo -Do you get along with your parents: my father passed away, and my mother and I are comunicating better. -Favorite beer: St. Paulie's Girl and Miller G D. I don't really drink beer though, haven't in years. -Favorite song at the moment: "Amazing Grace," and some song I can't get out of my head that my daughter listens to on the radio........Sugar, Sugar, Howd you get so fly? OOOH Sugar Howd you get so fly? I also have a piece of classical music that I have been trying to master for ten years. While I can play the song...I want to play it exactly how the writer intended it to sound. I play with my own feel and I want to feel the music the way that this person had played it. -Most humiliating moment: When my husband and I were both working at the prison. I picked my son up after work, deposited my check and went shopping with him. I had told my son when he was younger that he could not ride the mechanical horses at Walmart because I did not have any change. I told him that I did not have any money and all I had was the check book with me and that maybe next time he could ride the horse. I was checking out my groceries. My son said, "hello," to the cashier and all of the older ladies behind us in line. He went on to tell the cashier that his mommy was broke, and she just got out of prison. He then told the cashier that the reason we had to use the check book is because I did not have any money. He then proceeded to tell the cashier that his dad is in prison too. My hubby was working at the time. My son then said that his daddy will not get out of prison for a long time. The ladies in back of the line gave me the evil eye and clutched on to their purses. The cashier gave me a funny look and sent my check to be checked my a manager.. I wanted to crawl under a corner...but how could I be upset with my little boy?!? My son is a trip. Oh my Gosh! I can't leave out my daughter now can I? When my 12 year old daughter was around two I had to go to my brother's High School Graduation. I sat in my fathers seat because he did not attend and I wanted to show support for my brother. My daughter was dressed to the letter, she had the cutest dress with the frills and all. We were all standing to wait for the principal to give his speech. She was standing on a metal folding chair so that she could see her Uncle. She began to moan that she needed to use the bathroom. I told her to wait just a bit longer. I had no idea where the bathroom was and I did not want to make any noise. It was so quiet as the principal was gathering his thoughts you could hear a pin drop. Instead of pins dropping, you could hear a very loud trickle splattering onto this metal chair. She just could not hold it. I was mortified. People in the back three rows were laughing their butts off. I was a fairly young mother and I was so mortified!! I had to carry her out and all you could hear her say was, "Sorry Momma, I made a PEE-PEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Bless their hearts, I love my kids!!!! -Favorite Holiday: Christmas -------------------------------------------------- list of participants: : aerocat alhena andrewtarr angel011 angelkisses07 azurely badkittyM barakah59 botsybaby broomqueesha cerberus435 chad8246 cletta1201 cntaur5 cjg cr01 crimsonregret criteeker darkofnight Debbie26 drdevience dustygold educatedphool foxy_shy fuche_bu fyvel gaviidae ginzo hawgwyld i_culookn insomniac1587 iluvbirds jankp janteloven jedikermit jennull jessicamc4 jev04again jim9356 jkkelley jordan_tar jps246 kamel622 Kieli kittie74 kjell1979 kokladj kookytree kris-kochanski lambchops laurashrti lilvoyce LindsayBW logimom maggsmomm marinermoose22 MattA75 matthewn michelle7898 movielover123 msjrangel8 MumMumMum munkus nchoward nedipooh nini23 paulyoungotti Penguinlady pilarzmom platniumlotus pnutmom proxam pt-paratroopa redsox75 rmthunter robbudo roheblius romasuave rsz15 schlamozzel scotte1218 shippo225 smirnoff16 speeddemon531 spodgorski spongebob_man1 sshelle st_patrick stairway2drew stellarsight supersaiyan23 tbthorn telynor thechuunt thegeniusx thepremier tiffy0380 tiggert12140 tjolims travelgall treeseed trust12345 vanwarp vseetha wifeofvolsfan xiphoid yenfur youngchinq zar1  |
