1). I had a parakeet named "Duncan"
2). And a Dog named "Roxy" (as in Roxy Lady)
3). I had a full out cataloging system which tracked exactly how many pinups of each Roller I owned and where they were hung.
4). Our first daughter is named after my very first Roller Pen Pal (Kara).
5). I learned exactly how bad a phone bill could get one summer due to the above mentioned Roller Pen Pal. (Can you say 'Grounded for Life'???)
6). When I was 12, I created the tackiest Derek Christmas Ornament you'd ever seen complete w/ tartan ribbon and aluminum foil (*I* thought it was cool!). It graced our tree every year - until very recently when I lost several Christmas supplies. In my adult years it was always a tradition...'It's not Christmas till Derek's on the tree!" HAHA! Poor Derek - I wonder how many Christmas Trees he hung on over the years?

Okay, I'm done. Anybody else have anything they'd like to share?

I had was a horse named "Big Al" after our darling Alan. God, I loved that horse! One time when I was taking stock of all my Roller pics, posters, articles, etc... I was making two stacks - my Roller pics and posters and a stack of the rest of the magazines that were non-Roller and I told my sister to take the garbage stack out to my dad who was burning garbage. my sister took the wrong stack out ! ( I know in my heart it was on purpose! LOL!) and Dad threw it in the fire and then minutes later when I discovered it he had to hold me back from the fire as I tried to dive in to save my stack of Alan posters as well as all the others. She took out about 1/3 of my posters that day! He then had to stop me from beating the crap outta her!!! They hung all over my bedroom but I never thought to hang them in the tree! That's a good one! I mean I've had 'tartan' bows on my tree but never a Roller face. Hmmm - wonder how hubby would feel about a new ornament on the tree this year....
