I just never sat by that "friend" again.<BR/>After I got home from my mission my parents kept telling me how I was such a "strong woman" now. I think that really helped me to *become* a strong woman. Because I felt like I had to live up to that. I'm sure I couldn't have driven across the country, found a roommate and job, and then a husband in a totally new place if it weren't for them telling me that. <BR/>Sometimes being impressionable is a good thing.Nancy Sabinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713260519511130162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035850.post-57216939450391120892008-06-28T16:02:00.000-07:002008-06-28T16:02:00.000-07:00I am a very impressionable person, too.

For example, I was always told that after I had kids my metabolism would change and I would get fat and there was nothing I could do about it. Yeah, proved THEM wrong!! But there are positive things, as well. When I was very little I was told I had a natural talent for art. I loved hearing that, and I pushed myself to be even better. As I grew older, my artistic talents branched out. Then someone told me I was a naturally gifted photographer. Again, I pushed myself to be better. And I still do! Which is good, because that is my profession:-)Sarah Stileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148439568215042861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035850.post-6862469489964622472008-06-27T08:12:00.000-07:002008-06-27T08:12:00.000-07:00Jenn: You're right, I have absolutely no recollect...Jenn: <BR/><BR/>You're right, I have absolutely no recollection of saying this at all. If it makes you feel better, I couldn't find q-tips in Taiwan and when I got home, a nurse had to scoop junk out of my ears with an ear spoon. I think that q-tips are fabulous. --lizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035850.post-44468508290605704342008-06-26T20:51:00.000-07:002008-06-26T20:51:00.000-07:00As for teeth hygiene, I think it's gross when peop...As for teeth hygiene, I think it's gross when people don't brush their teeth first thing in the morning. Yuck. <BR/><BR/>As for other things, I had this fixation against red and pink for a long time because of something someone told me. Now, every time I buy a new shirt, I end up buying a red shirt. My favorite color, hands down.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940099662062821657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035850.post-32506212949793510392008-06-26T16:41:00.000-07:002008-06-26T16:41:00.000-07:00People think I'm compulsive about cleaning my tee...People think I'm compulsive about cleaning my teeth. When I a leader at girls' camp, the other leaders are amazed that I floss, or given an outlet, use the water pic. "You brought a water pic to girls' camp!" they will exclaim. Of course. Why wouldn't I? Dirty teeth feel bad. They make your teeth fall out. Maybe it is Dr. Bell's old adage "Ignore your teeth and they'll go away." Mom<BR/>PS. I'm sure I cleaned your ears sometimes, didn't I?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
