Ok, I'm trolling and I apologize..
What are you know for? How do your friends categorize you? Is it your wit, your humor? Your insatiable lust for adventure? Your reserve and quiet calm in the midst of a storm?

One day when you are gone, what will you be remembered for? Just curious, and thought it might make a good thread for discussion.

Not sure
I have a good sense of humor and like to get the guys at work wound up sometimes.
Also I really don't fit my family at all. Hardly anything in common with any of them.
They don't understand why I enjoy backpacking for a weekend let alone for a week or more with no conveniences.
I was told recently that I was pretty liberal minded for someone my age.
Not sure that was a compliment.

Absolute, unbridled insanity. An off-the-wall, irreverent and outrageous sense of humour.

Known For?
Being an area of calm in a sea of turmoil. My wife's family say I am the calming influence and a source of quiet counsel. However, they also appreciate my sense of humor (it's somewhat of beat.) I like to think they are right about me. At least, I hope they are.

hmm, I have no clue. What I know they call me a daredevil, much to my surprise even my husband calles me that.

Some people on TT say I shouldn't yell out the car window "I love you" to everyone.

I dunn know...I think if I die people will say her urge for adventure would've killed her, but thank god she had a family that she loved, so she lived a long and happy life. The heartache came at the age of 99 while hiking the last 5 miles of the AT.

Yeah, that's it!

What are you know for?

My love for the outdoors, loving exotic parrots,.. loving criminology and psychology,.. my love for Pearl Jam!

How do your friends categorize you?

The spontaneous adventure seeker.

One day when you are gone, what will you be remembered for?

Don't know if I'll be remembered. They'll probably just refer to me as "that crazy bird girl."
