You Did What??  

My grandma was a 'pillar' of the church...But you'd never have guessed that with the way she talked & acted!!...Lori

I do know someone like that, I work with him. He comes in the morning and cleans the grills and does the table setups. Not a big job, but a needed one. He lives in a room in a local business, only a block from work. Well when I found out he use to be a professor I was so suprised. He use to teach at the local University. I often wonder, how it happened that he is doing what he does now.

wow!

Now, theres a lady here in Austin that lead a tour group from Austin (mostly) to Russia. My mom met her thru her extended studies group connected to the LBJ library. You wouldn't know it now, but if you look closely at some photos of FDR meeting with Stalin, she's in the pix. She was an interpreter for Stalin and she was in the KGB.

Thats so funny. I know that feeling.LOL Ive ran into some people that really took me back when I found out what they did for a living. All you can say is wow!

About ten years ago I was going to church with this nice older lady. She was around 75 years old, and always had a smile, but was quiet and graceful. She always wanted to hear about what you were doing, and never drew conversation to herself. Well, after deciding to visit some of the older members of our church, I found out something I never would have guessed. She used to be in the circus! She was on the trapeze! I was blown away.

And so goes the saying dfn, never judge a book by it's cover!..a thing we are all very apt to do.
One never knows who one is talking to for sure and I am always amazed for instance, how people can babble on all their whole busniness to god knows who hahahhah kinda like we do here on myLot LOL
Yes, however, I know what you mean, I was always suprised to know sometimes of someone's life and yet, they looked entirely the furthest from it one could imagine.
My cousin was in the FBI and you would never imagine looking at her as well, she is quite the petite little lady now, older and more grandma looking as well:)* dfn..
Yeah, so remember not to blab all your crimes from now on! hahah(((dfn)))

People always think I'm a lot worse than I really am... and then when I do actually tell someone of something "rebellious" it's never what they expected (it's usually worse! ha ha). but then they're surprised when I didn't do what they thought.

Yeah. if that makes sense.

I don't know, the only person I can think of off the top of my head is my co-worker who, upon looking at him and knowing all of his medical problems you would think is probably in his upper 70's. He's got this terrible memory and he's in the hospital all the time for stints and he's had 2 strokes and a heart attack. and he doesn't know how to do much of anything on a computer.

The fact is that he's actually only in his late 50's and used to work for press up in New York City AND then worked for big time local D.C and Baltimore governments.

After so many medical problems he really couldn't work for them anymore and rather than fire him and make him get on disabilities, they kind of shoved him over to the local library.

I guess it's all the medical problems that makes me think so low of him as this great news writer, but I never really believe the stories I hear about how great he was.

OH my! I can't recall anyone like that. That would have left me numb with my mouth open! It really goes to show that you never know who you're going to met in this world!

LOL- this happens a lot. As I get to know people I am continually shocked by stuff they did in their past. It's surprising how many people don't really talk about themselves. Then something comes up in casual converstaion and my jaw drops....

Well the only one I can think of is my partner.
If you were to sit down and have a serious conversation with him,
then hear the stories of his teenage early 20's years you would not beleive your ears.
I could write a best selling book on the things he used to do.
