Weird Meme part II

I have been tagged by Black Belt Mama for the Weird Meme.

Meme’s are new to me. I used to make fun of them, but this one was fun to read from others, so I did it…..I’ve actually completed it before, but can easily find 6 more weird things about myself, so here goes…6 weird things about myself:

1. I fell out of my crib when I was a baby, landed on my head on the rock floors of my parents house, and experienced some damage to my brain…the part that controlled my breathing. From then on, when I would get hurt, I would stop breathing. Anything from a skinned knee to stubbing my toe would cause me to stop breathing and I would pass out. I once jumped off the coffee table, landed on my butt, and when I came to, the Fuller Brush man (who was there trying to sell my mom some stuff) was giving me mouth to mouth. *

2. I once helped another trainer teach a dolphin to masturbate…….it is tough for them to do without hands, but it can be done. I’ll betcha no one reading this has experienced that ( edited to add: I was a dolphin trainer and our park also did research on cetaceans).**

3. I had a Mitred conure parrot named Lucy whom I potty trained. I could hold her above the toilet and tell her “Lucy, take a sh*t” and she would.

4. I lived in Galveston, Florida and Arizona between the ages of 18 and 23. I traveled by myself and was quite adventurous.

5. I have tube fed a baby dolphin.

6. I used to show Miniture Pinschers.

So now I tag 6 people to tell 6 weird things about themselves. According to The Pajama Mama, “after YOU get tagged, you have to go back to the blog of the person who tagged you and let them know you have fullfilled your tagging obligation and put up your list of six things. That means you have to come back HERE and let me know you put up a post with your six items.”

Okay, so I tag:

1. Kokernot
2. Actual Unretouched Photo
3. Our Life
4. Dooce (shoot, why the heck not)
5. Our Deer Baby
6. Rocks in My Dryer

* I grew out of the problem and no longer experience it…the brain learns to re-route. So, no, I can’t claim that brain damage is why I am like this today ;*)
**the vet who treated our animals needed sperm samples from dolphins, so the trainer invented a “Blow up BarbieFlipperette” for dolphins and trained the animal to…um…use the apparatus. ‘Nough said. (I was a dolphin and sea lion trainer)ikoni
