90. I hate snakes and spiders.
91. My first few jobs as a teenager were babysitting, delivering newspapers, and working at Arby's. I never did like the roast beef, the Arby's sauce, or the horsey sauce though.
92. I would love to sing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
93. The most difficult church calling I've ever had was teaching the 14- to 18-yr-old Sunday school class--in German. I don't know that I will ever be intimidated by any other calling as much as I was by that one. Thank you Bishop Ruetz.

649? Rookie! :-)
I'm not that far behind you! But I haven't made much progress lately either. Did you notice the guy who was three short of getting every single county has finally filled them in?
The word "chocolate appears in this entry 7 times, and the word "ice cream" 5 times
Yep, that's me. :-)
"ice cream" is actually two words, you know.
;)
I share 18 of your 100 and part of several others. Guess that qualifies us for a filial relationship ... considering that we differ in gender.
I am impressed that it only took you two months to come up with 100 things. It would take me at least a year! I enjoyed reading about who you are/what you do. And I like ice cream better in milkshake form, too. Ice cream in a cup with a bit of milk, stir it up with a spoon and eat. Yum. It makes me hungry thinking about it.
Update on #44: as of October 2011, I have now been to Yellowstone. It was fine, but I think Utah's national parks are more scenic and beautiful. I'll be okay if I never go back to Yellowstone.
