They couldn't force me. I think those were the roots of the stubbornness you see in me today. hehehe

Not to mention, my dad, who was hardly what I'd call a proponent for the welfare of his children, (for some reason this bothered the crap out of him) went and told the teacher and the principal to leave me the hell alone.

I'm one in a family of six (eight including mom and dad) who is left-handed. And, interestingly enough, I'm also more of a "leftist" than a "right-winger." Hmm...wonder if there's a connection.

I have a Lithuanian maiden name. If you meet anyone with my last name, they are a very, very close relative.

But I kept my current last name when I divorced because it's very simple (or so I thought) and I got tired of people misprouncing my maiden name.

They do worse with the name I currently have. WTF? It's a very common, simple name!

dunno

Oh we grew up with that, too. And my dad told us if we ate bread crust it would make our hair curl. As you can see, I never ate my bread crust.

And sitting too close to the TV would burn out your retinas.
