    3 for no other reason that a lot of people do hate their birthday, including yours truly, so perhaps you deviate from the norm and actually like it!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Correct. I like your thinking behind this.

    I have not broken a bone in my body, and I do, in fact, know how to ride a bike. I put the latter in there to throw people of, since it seems like most people would, in fact, know how to ride a bike.

    ...in fact...
    Oh, Time, Strength, Cash, and Patience!

    1) I have an abject fear of knives, having been stabbed once back in high school

    2) I love to hunt, but I prefer small game to large game

    3) There are few bones in my body that haven't seen some type of break or other trauma as I head for the big 5-0

    Silly old Grover, you know me only too well. Yes, I collect knives of all shapes and sizes, but I was stabbed above the kidney back in high school. I still carry the scar.

    OK, papayahed got it in one. She is up next!

    Oh, come on! How long could it take to come up with a good lie?

    According to this, we lie four times a day on average.

    ok, ok. This has to do with school.


    1. In grade school my class had to spend two days making leis for the annual spring festival called "The Polish Luau".

    2. From the 6-8 grades I was in the annual Christmas eve mass, where we were dressed as angels and lead the procession into the church at the start of mass.

    3. In the sixth grade the teacher used to get us in line and behave by threatening to turn off the lights.

    The others seem exactly like things that actually happen at my school.
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

    Ahahahaha!!! I really hope that #3 is true, I could just picture some woman standing there threatening a bunch of school children with a menacing voice and her hand on the lightswitch... terror in the youngsters' eyes.

    You are correct. It was really grades 1-8 that I did the procession at mass.

    Juniper: Thinking about it now seems pretty funny but our 6th grade teacher would say "Ah Folks, settle down. Settle down or I'm turning off the lights" and she'd start counting, she'd get to two and a half and we'd all stop talking and settle down. I'm pretty sure there was some type of punishment if the lights went out but I don't remember that part.

    Yeah! Got it just by chance. Now here I go:
    It has to do with pets.

    1. We had a pair of rabbits with lovely eyes. I loved them even though they didn't speak. One of them was called snow-white and the other was called polka-dot as it had two round patches of brown fur on its back.

    2. My grandmother had a pair of peacocks but the male was stolen and the female died later.

    3. We had a family of cats as pet for their 3 generations. The grandma called Kitty, then mommy called Lippy, and then four little kittens. We kept two and gave two to one of our friends.

    I'll go with #1 one. Perhaps your description of the rabbits is off.
