Did you ever dream of becoming a ballet dancer, a singer, an actress, a doctor? Maybe you wanted to marry the boy/girl next door, did it come true? Best stories will receive a prize ...yet to be determined. cool.gif

When I was just a little girl I use to sit and dream of all the things I wanted to be. And then as I grew older and things remained the same I went of and married and things never seemed changed ,now that I am older I look back on my life and had I to do it over I often wonder how it would be . Now the moral to my story is that when I was growing up no matter what I did in life was never good enough. sad.gif I wanted to be a nurse !

Its great to read these old posts. Catherine, Ria (Gemini) and I had a good gab the other day about being clippies. I lasted a couple of days during the war but she made a good living being a clippie. I was put on the run from Possilpark to Clydebank and all the men went upstairs and smoked their thick black tobacco. By the time I got their fares and came downstairs I was sick to my stomache. Also, my mother, who had been a clippie during WWI told me to ALWAYS get rid of the coppers. I was so busy trying not to be sick I forgot her advice and that bag was like a yoke around my neck. I don t think I lasted a week on the job.

Marion says that Susan Hayward was her favorite. Well, the other day I was out with a friend near Carrollton, Georgia, and she mentioned that Susan Hayward was buried in a Catholic graveyard near there. I looked it up on the Net and sure enough, she was right. I think the actress and her husband owned a cattle farm and Susan was the one to help build the Catholic church in that area.

like marion i would have liked to have been a film star but not todays type, the older ones are the best, but i was too shy for anything like that so i used to draw with a pencil all the film stars, my mum has one i drew of june allyson when i was 7 but i dont know what happened to the rest

I too wanted to be an Ballet dancer,Singer, Artist, the closest I got to a Ballet dancer was, doing tap dancing, but that never stopped me trying to ballet dance. I remember in Glasgow, with the Valda Hunter dance school doing a concert and I had to start one of the shows doing the Red red Robin, well silly me forgot the words and I was so embarrassed and ended up with stage fright and was crying, well I was only six at the time, ha ha, and they had to close the curtains and start again after Valda had a wee talk with me, then I was ok, phew!! As for dancing, I do that all the time, when ever I get a chance, and Singing that I cant stop anymore, ha ha. Other than that, I wanted to be a designer (Clothing), cant sew for peanuts, but I still design on paper everynow and then, and drawing and painting(which I went to college for) I still do art when I put my mind to it. rolleyes.gif
