Guest S**a*Q Report post Posted September 16, 2010 Hey you stole my line, Meg - me either. More trivia - this one's for you Meg: - I once ate one of those baconaters and almost died trying to digest it. I ate a baconator with double bacon once... My old boss and I thought we were having heart attacks for 4 hours afterwords.. Hehehe... MMMM Bacon... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 My experience with the baconator will never be forgot and, alas, never be duplicated. Although all that bacon is WONDERFUL, the hours of feeling like crap afterwards is disgusting! Speaking of bacon, anyone ever had thick cut crispy bacon dipped in chocolat ganache? HEAVEN!

Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted May 17, 2012 So I was searching for a specific thread and came across this one. With so many new Cerbies, I thought it appropriate to bring this thread back into circulation as I find it facinating to get a quick snapshot of the various personalities that have embraced the Cerb family! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotchJohnson 214123 Report post Posted May 17, 2012 I'm right handed but use my left hand occasionally. Never smoked a cigarette since I'm 14 years old. Never been afraid of heights. I could walk on a rope at 1000 feet without protection if I could keep my balance. I will reveal more about myself later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted May 17, 2012 Reveal more? How cryptic and yet so very intriguing! Only been scared of heights for about 10yrs. What was the catalyst? No idea just happened all of a sudden, with a panic attack at the forefront Clean freak bordering on obsessive. Again only within the last 10yrs Foot fetish although not in a sexual way...just like nice feet and nice shoes Love animals...every kind, shape, size. Rats, iguanas, fish, cats, dogs, birds, wallabies, anything living! Treasure my human relationships Love hockey and football but not much time for soccer or baseball My number one turn on is being ravaged and totally made to feel like I am the most desireable woman alive lol Ravaging and making "him or her" feel like they are the most desireable person alive.

Aspen Wilde 31370 Report post Posted May 17, 2012 I really quite like heights. I also like getting close to the ground. (The earth is lovely from any perspective!) Walking is my primary mode of transport. I've seen the extended DVD editions of The Lord of the Rings five times each. Being in crowds creeps me out, but I love performing in front of them. I'm an Aries. No wonder I'm so hard-headed and impatient. I find philosophy fun. I was once a radio host at the only radio station in a small town made primarily of cardboard. (I received a lot of fanmail. It was a really friendly town.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reuben Sandwich 13841 Report post Posted May 20, 2012 I am a Sagitarian. My whole life long, although I am on the cusp with Scorpio. I am a Caesarian. Born that way. Came out with a nice round head weighing 7 poounds, 6 ounces. My twin was 8 punds, ten ounces. We may still hold the record for that hospital. Farthest north: Inverness, Scotland. Farthest south: Las Vegas, Nevada. I have worked and/or lived in 6 of our 10 provinces. No territories yet. I work at heights but am cautious. I have fallen from heights: not so cautious. I had a Honda 350 in the early 70's. Sold it after getting t-boned. Like loopie, I love swimming or just being in water. I would rather been cold than hot. I still don't mind digging holes in the earth. It beats going to the gym for exercise. I love to go for a hike somewhere. Folks keep telling me to take one.

Guest Report post Posted May 20, 2012 1. I am really shy so to put myself out of my comfort zone I started doing musicals. It really helped. I always have to work on myself with this. 2. I would love to go overseas to take part in the volunteer programs they have for underprivileged children. That would be the ultimate vacation to me. This is on top of my bucket list. 3. I love all animals. They are special little beings and deserve to be treated right. 4. I like nature and being outdoors. I would love to live in a log cabin in the middle of no where. Or I would love to have my own island like the movie blue lagoon. 5. I'm a gamer and I like online games. 6. I love music Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevecurious 42059 Report post Posted May 20, 2012 I am an only child. It was great when I was a kid but as each year passes I want a sibling more and more. I am a cancer survivor and for awhile I didn't think I would see my mid thirties. I am TERRIFIED of heights. My nose has been broken many, many times...due to many, many different things. I am not superstitious but I have never walked under a ladder. I have been told I take work too seriously. I have never smoked cigarettes (can't stand them) but love a good cigar. I hate the smell of peanut butter so much I have never actually tasted it. I have performed jury duty, quite an eye opening experience. I am a card carrying member of a certain political party. When I was young and stupid I momentarily cheered for the Toronto Blue Jays... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am adopted In my biological family, I am the oldest of 11 I hold on to most of my childish ways, I will always be young at heart I am a horrible public speaker I never leave my house without my face done I am scared of the dark Food is my best friend at the moment I never think things through properly, sometimes I like to just go with the flow and solve the problems as they come..this is something I need to change I paint naked I have recorded 3 songs this week (when finished with editing, I will post the youtube link!!) Music is my life I am a total princess. I like to undress infront of open windows and doors. I love having sex outside where someone might see. Of all the mistakes I have made, I regret very few. I never dwell in the past and only live for the moment and plan for tomorrow. Life is too short to sit and wait for it, in my mind, it must be made, I truly believe we write our own future. I believe in Karma I am a very deeply spiritual woman. I believe sensuality is magic I think that is enough for now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athos 108589 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 Oh boy, I rember holidays as much by the food I eat as the places I've been. I love to travel, but find airports incredibly anxiety producing I like heights, but do suffer vertigo (I like to challenge myself on this one) I work hard, but would rather not I allow people to place their expectations on me, and then fear letting them down I can't think of many things better than escaping to nature Would love to live in a house completely off the grid I have a very bad temper, but very few people ever see it. And even then rarely. I don't suffer fools gladly. I can be too sarcastic for my own good I'm sometimes too flippant about important things. People misinterpret my humor as reflecting a lack of seriousness, which is incorrect I can't think of any situation that can't be helped by having a laugh about it I drink too much coffee Don't smoke, never have, never will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrrnice2 157005 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 I have picked up my guitar again after twelve years without doing so and am loving the peace and solitude that it brings as I rediscover it. I am a nervous traveller. I enjoy travelling in Canada more than anything and have little interest in going to foreign locations, due to my nervousness. I am retired. There is a lot to be said for stopping work while at the top of your game. I am told that my CERB name is well chosen, but there are a few times when I do not feel like mrrnice. Those occasions are rare. I love to drive. I think nothing of driving the 17 hours to see my daughter. One day I truly believe that I will awake and with sixty minutes of preparation be on the road for Vancouver. Yes, I would like to meet Samantha Evans again. I love trout fishing and can sit and watch my bobber not even move for hours and still be content. Sitting outside at the bonfire staring into the flames is a calming influence and leads to great conversations with myself. I am scared that I could be a pyromaniac. Many would I think feel that I lead a boring life. I have my large farm property, play in my flower gardens, work at my vegetable garden, bike on the trails, and go to bed early. I am widowed and am slowly becoming able to accept that. I have just today been approached by a friend who wants to set me up with a lady friend of hers for a coffee date. I said yes. CERB has been mostly a good thing for me, but not always. I just this spring gave away my first ever brand new car that I bought in 1976 for the outlandish price at the time of $5400. A 1976 MGB. Fire engine red. I love to camp and still use a little nylon dome tent and sleep on the ground. The Montreal Canadiens are my team. I loved the Expos and was distraught when they moved to Washington. I have opened myself to new life experiences that a year and a half ago I never would have considered. I believe that a friend is a friend is a friend. Hard times happen, but a friend stays that way. I would wear my shorts 365 days of the year if I could but I can dress up nicely. I have been told that shaving my head would look good on me. I may yet do so. Blue and green look pretty well the same to me. I absolutely adore intelligent women. It is an aphrodisiac for me. I do believe that to a certain point, age IS just a number. Its easier to look on the bright side than to look on the dark side. I read, and read a lot, but strictly and almost exclusively popular fiction. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
