-I’m a great wife  
-I don’t nag  
-I make people smile (when I’m not annoying them)  
-I know my own mind

These are all things others have told me about myself.

But me personally ? I like the fact that I’m a happy person the most. I spent too many years being angry at a lot of things. I like being happy. The world is so much nicer when you’re happy 🙂

I’m average height, weight and looks – no one will ever call me ugly, I think :).

I know enough about computers to make people think I’m good with them. . .

I like helping people.

I have a strong stomach.

I like most foods.

I’m a strong swimmer.

I’m modest :).

Of course I crack jokes. What’s the best way to pick up a newborn baby?

By the axe handle.

I just made that up!

I love this thread. these are the things we are never allowed to say, and if we do we are berrated for it.  
I’m darn cool! I’m very good looking, and I’m funny as all shit.  
I have good teeth, and lovely unwrinkled olive skin (& I’m over 30)  
I’m the boss and I make too much money.🙂 I speak very well in public and do it often. I’m tall and have supermodel legs. I have a heart as big as the world and I’m very well educated.  
I’m completely in love and I have a feeling that I always will be. I love my job, and everyone want’s to be me!

Man that was the greatest form of therapy that I’ve never paid for. Thanks for the opportunity.  
😃

That’s coz you didn’t tell me your birthday! If you did, I’d write it down in the notebook I reserve for Doper birthdays. 🙂
