Since seeing these on others' blog I've been amazed how many of you have been skinny dipping (I thought I was very brave) and involved in law suits! (Not yet, thankfully!)
I thought this was a fun list. If you ever hear Rachel mentioned on the SHS loop then you'll know how I have to thank for being able to go to the top of the Statue of Liberty!! It's an interesting story.
lol I'd love to hear stories from both of you! I think it's fabulous to read all of the different experiences that everyone has had. And, Dorothy, I'm with you on how funny it is to see how some of these things show up from everyone!
