I'm thinking..."what a silly thing to say, 'women's lingerie', like there's men's lingerie".  So I got curious and googled "men's lingerie"...trust me, don't!   

God the image is burned for all eternity in my mind.

Thinking now we need a new thread, "10 things I wish I DIDN'T know about my fellow rennies"!

5- I am (probably) starting school this spring to become a principal (no one I know would have ever thought that growing up)
6- I barely graduated high school because I was lazy (they thought I was a bit slow... with an IQ of about 147... nope, just bored and lazy)
7- I prefer working in schools with poorer kids because I feel needed.

Gee, teach, why does "Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back"  keep running through my head?

1- My Dad was Filipino and my Mom was Boston Irish

2- My Dad was a cook in the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine. This makes me a genuine
"son of a sea cook".

3- My first 7 years after High School were spent in a religious order, where I became Brother Felix. I left when I realized that it was necessary to go back into the world, because I was not being challenged or rewarded in ways that meant something to me.

4- My older brother Danny and my youngest brother Steven both died of AIDS. Yes, they were Gay.

5- In 1985 I created a cross State bicycle ride for Delaware that crosses the narrowest part of the
State (12 miles) twice. It is called "The Delaware Doublecross" and continues to have as many as 600 riders.

6- In 1999 and 2000 I won the Smithsonian Kite Festival's "Theme Award", the 1st and 2nd year it was offered.

7- In 2004, a friend and I put together a bubble festival, "Bubbles Over Colorado" in Manitou Springs.

8- June 21, 2008, along with about 400 other people, I brought 2 of my bubble machines to "Times Square" where we made billions of bubbles as thousands of other people looked on.

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

1.  My friend Lynn donated a kidney to me in 2003 because I was near death suffering from Polycystic Kidney Disease.
2.  I have been surfing since I was 16 years old, albeit on and off, depending if we've lived near the ocean.  I adore the ocean, barely tolerate pools, and don't like swimming in lakes.
3.  I am deathly afraid of snakes -- and that includes worms, and mice and rats (because their tails look like worms).
4.  I met my husband Steve when I showed up on his doorstep in St. Lucia (the island) on Christmas Eve with the flu.  It's too long a story for here.  If you really want to know, ask me.
5.  I'm an Acolyte and Chalicist at my church.
6.  I am a Cursillista and have been asked to be the Rectora of the Spring, 2009 weekend for the Diocese of Chicago.
7.  My most favorite song in the whole wide world is, and has always been, Layla. (imagine that!)
8.  I've lived in 5 countries, 5 states, and visited 34 foreign countries.
9.  I love to rollerblade.
10. I've been on 3 different television shows demonstrating Brass Rubbing, and Renaissance Magazine wrote an article about me called, "Interview with Brass Rubbing Expert, Renee D."
