OnlySunshine Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was a kid because I love animals so much but I have allergies to all kinds of pet dander so that wouldn't be a good profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine Therese Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 My great, great, great uncle James defeated John L. Sullivan in the 21st round to become the first ever boxing heavyweight world champion under the Marquis of Queensberry rules. Happened back in the 1890s in New Orleans, I think. Some 50 years later, Errol Flynn played the role of my uncle in a movie called "Gentleman Jim." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I wanted to take ballet lessons when I was a child but my pediatrician told my mom that I had weak ankles and was not suitable for ballet. I'm glad he said that because I had a lot of trouble with them growing up (popping out of place for a second and aching) and I'm sure they would have been damaged if I was a ballerina.
