How did I miss this one? I was so excited to respond to like half of yours. lol
1. Who is John Gotti?
2. Was it a mastiff or dane? I've had both and my biggest mastiff was 6ft tall standing on two feet and 250lbs before he got cancer. The dane was even taller but only 175. I Love love love big dogs.
3. My middle name is the same as my grandmothers, both sisters, and my daughter. (which I already went into on my wall post) so I love that you gave her yours.
4. As a bank employee I can bet it is nicer than 90% of the scribbles I see daily lol
5. Woot Woooooooooooooot So proud of you! You are awesome!
6. Again YOU ARE AWESOME! MASH has been my favorite show since I was in middle school. I don't know if it is because I am an army brat and felt connected to it or if I was just in love with Trapper and Hawkeye.

Who is John Gotti? Oh my.... Here's some light reading.

Just gonna leave this here.  Because he was a mob boss with ties to the Gambino family. I grew up with some the kids within the Gambino family. Good times. The Baltimore Crew 

2 - It was an Irish Wolfhound mixed with Sheepdog. 
3 - 
5 -   I am really proud of myself too. It's nice to hear it from someone else.

Really really. 

This is one of the reasons why I will never own a land line again. When you hear clicking on the phone, you know it's tapped.

Triple play:

1. I've been playing video games since my grandmother, in her infinite wisdom, decided that computers were the future and bought the family a Commodore VIC-20 when I was around 3-4 years old
2. I've had 45 surgeries.  42 of them between the ages of around 4 months old and 18 years old.  It was about as fun as it sounds
3. A few years ago, my friend got me, himself, my oldest brother, and his wife awesome tickets to see A Perfect Circle in Boston.  I was, literally, about 3-5 rows from the stage, and with my wheelchair kinda sticking out at the end of the row.  At the end of the set, Maynard James Keenan flashed me the peace sign
4. I have strong nerd opinions on Star Trek, Star Wars, Mass Effect, and Final Fantasy
5. Despite being a nerd, I could never get into Harry Potter or Dr. Who
6. One of my other buddies and myself almost got into trouble at UNH for harassing each other... we thought it was hilarious
7. Speaking of UNH, at the start of every fall semester, the local church drones swarm campus attempting to pass out pocket bibles.  When one tried to do that to me, I replied "No thanks, your god broke my legs."  His expression was priceless
8. I used to write fan fiction about my own AOL chat RP characters on the AOL forums... I'm total boyfriend material, eh, ladies?
9. I actually became atheist (or, more precisely, admitted to myself that I had always been an atheist) shortly after 9-11.  It was the culmination of a lot of things, but the attacks made me re-evaluate myself and the world
10. I met and chatted with former Red Sox outfielder Mike Greenwell for about an hour at the hospital when I was in 8th grade.  I was getting some pre-op x-rays done, and he was there because he hurt himself sliding into 1st base.  The players used to go to Children's Hospital in order to avoid the media, who were stalking places like Beth Israel and Brigham and Women's.  He told me that his wife was going to be pissed, because she was expecting, and this injury would likely impact his next contract.  Got his autograph.  Really nice guy, especially under the circumstances

@mlmooney89
"1. Imagine Dragons was a good choice for your first. They are one of my favorite bands!
3. Did you change it because you just didn't like your name or was there a reason? How old were you when you changed it? Was it difficult getting others to use your new name or did they already call you by it?"

I changed my name in my 40s after converting to Judaism. When you convert, you choose a Hebrew name. I liked the meaning of the names a lot, so I changed it. It is a royal headache to do a legal name change, especially of your first and middle names. When you say your name has changed, people always assume it's a last name for marriage or divorce. 

Otherwise, it wasn't difficult to get people to accept my new name. I told my family right away that I didn't expect them to call me by my new name. My mother is a radical Christian fundamentalist and declared that she will never use my name because it means "light," and I've "left Jesus, the light of the world." So she goes out of her way to make things difficult. When she mailed a package to me, she put my old name and directions to my apartment rather than put my current name. She addresses email to Daughter. She's basically trying to make things as difficult and painful as possible. It's that Christian love again.

It's more the character(s) that he's played. To self righteous and holier than thou. And that sappy sentimentality. 

Do we have a vomit emoji?
