Tell Us About Yourself Contest Closed Winners Announced

hmmmmm well i'm the mother of 3 great kids daughter 26 a manager at a hotel son 22 welder who makes trailers for big rigs son 19 on the 21st just graduated from tech school in printing pretty awesome bunch who thinks their mom is nuts sitting & playing games all day on the pc lol

Just turned 38, which made me realize that someone must have made a mistake on my birth certificate, because I can't be that old!
At 37, I didn't feel that way, but for some reason, 38 sounds a lot different.
Especially when I'm still single and have no kids.
When I was 18 (and unmarried), I had a baby boy who was born 3 months premature. That was way too early, and he lived only a few hours after birth. Knew I couldn't say that without crying, but I didn't know I couldn't even type it without either.

I live with an Englishman who is almost twice my age. He had a massive heart attack last summer, and we didn't even know if he would survive it, but now he thinks he's fully recovered and is doing everything he was doing before the heart attack, which means he'll probably have another one someday, although he doesn't seem to realize this.

He has a very nice split-level house in a suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma, named Coweta (the name of the suburb, not the house!) Since I'm not working, that's my job, keeping the house clean, which I do... to some extent. We also have 3 dogs to take care of. We had 4 up until just the other day, when one of them, the most ornery one, was hit by a car and killed. I found him in the street around the corner from the house. It was so sad. He was so mean to everyone; he loved when people came over, so he could bite their ankles. But he could be the sweetest little thing too.

I said I wasn't working, but actually, I have been making money lately, and on the computer no less! I've been playing this game called Word Battle at a skillgames site called King.com. It's like the game Boggle, sort of. And I've been winning! You play against 1-4 other people, live, for 60 cent games (or 1.20 or 2.40, but usually .60). (Or whatever currency you use in your country; they have players from all over the world.) Winnings are small, but they add up. I've made withdrawals for about $100 every week or so for months now. They have a LOT of other games too, but this is the only one I can make any money on. You should go check it out and sign up if you like what you see. You can play for free too, but you only win points, not cash that way. It'd be great to see some familiar names from here over there! If you want to sign up with a referrer, I'm called "zexzy" there.

OK, thanks for the contest!

Hi..
I am 45 yrs old but dont look or act my age. lol.. i like to say im a 23 yr old trapped in a 45 yr old body. I have 3 children who were all born on the 6th - I just have to remember the months. I also have a beautiful grandaughter 2 1/2 yrs old. I was born & lived in NY for 20 some odd yrs, lived in NH another 20 some odd yrs. I was married for almost 13 yrs but divorced in 1998. I moved to Florida a couple yrs ago with b/f and all i can say is "what a long strange trip its been". Things are not what I want them to be right now but I am working on it one day at a time. i love games of chance, walking on the beach, reading, music and watching funny movies. I was in the insurance industry for almost 20 yrs but got burnt out from it. I currently work as an administrative assistant at a property mgmt company. I sometimes write poems/thoughts when the mood strikes and have been told they are pretty good but Im not so sure if they are or not. well... enough out of me.. I just wanted to say how interesting it was to read a little about everyone on this site.

I agree with you mooska61, i think its the best contest yet, i can't wait to read a little snippet of other people here.

Well Done CC

35 years old here..(grew a couple years since I joined CC ) I have 3 awesome children...one boy(9) and two girls (11 and soon to be 13 SOMEBODY PRAY FOR ME ) So far the almost teen years have been good so I hope they continue.....I was married for 12 years to their father..with him for just about 16...we separated..I met someone at work a year later...that is now heading for disaster so I am getting prepared to start a new life with a huge sign on my door that says KEEP OUT

Work and my kids consume most of my life and of course the computer takes up some too...of course with the new ban going on I have to say I haven't spent 1/2 as much time on it...prolly a good thing

I love this contest..it's nice knowing more about all of you!!!!!

Great Job OC!!

wow we all come from different lives and backgrounds but we all do have one thing in common... (we are all broke from gambling....lmaoooooooo)

Not those of us in the U.S db lol

hehehe

I have told too much over the years... I am now using an old computer which is awful! My good one is waiting for a new power supply (of course I can install it) I work in the credit card industlry as a Risk Investigator, I work 25 miles from home and ride the bus every day after day after day.....

Hello fellow CCers. I hope everyone is having a good day. I am 46 yrs old, the mother of a 26 yr old female (recently divorced), and twin 17 yr old boys. I have multiple medical problems and am disabled. I have a special chair so I can sit at the computer, but it is too expensive for an employer to purchase for me to go to work.
I have 2 rambunctious grandchildren. a girl aged 4 and a boy aged 8.
I live with my daughter and grandchildren and love it. My sons live with their father and I miss them terribly every day.
I was born on the cusp between aries and taurus(and am very stubborn) I got the trait from both. I rarely give up on something I have stated, but have been known to withdraw from things that get too intense.
OK, SORRY, I do tend to ramble when talking to myself. If you would like more details, please, do not hesitate to P.M. me.
HAPPY GAMING ALWAYS!!!!!
