As a kid ~ what did you want to do when you left school and did you do it or change your mind as you got older??
|
SageCat
|
When I was very, very young, I wanted to be a ballet dancer! I went to dance class ............... but it just sort of fizzled out. My mum bought me a gorgeous pink tutu and pink satin point shoes which I still have. The job that I really wanted to do as I got a bit older was to work with animals, which I did do as soon as I reached 17. Unforunately, it doesn't pay enough to keep a mouse in cheese .............. so I had to re-evaluate!
Same question.
|
RavenStar
|
When I was very young I wanted to be a vet but it sooned changed to Nursing as its sort of a family tradition... my mom was a nursing auxillary, my sister went into nursing and I think it was assumed I'd follow ~ which I did.

Which news headline most shocked or outraged you this week?
|
Koko

The stories about the football player, Vick I think, and the dog fighting ring...grrr, idiot. He should have done to him what he did to the dogs.
Same question, please.
|
RavenStar
|
ooooo ~ theres two:
one that really made me mad yesterday was the announcement that the teenage murderer of a school teacher WON'T be deported to his home country of Italy...... because some idiot rfeckons it a breach of his Human Rights!!!!! This human rights bill really gets on my tits and makes me so bloody angry. Criminals as far as I'm concerned have no right to bang on about their Human Rights. This bill needs to be lookad at urgently.
The second was Pete Docherty, after being caught with class A hard drugs on him, was let off on a 'technicality' perrrleeeeze ~ he needs to be banged up and the key thrown away.
