In your short time being a member here, and God knows how long lurking, are there any dopers you fancy? Like a bit more than just average? Hmmmmmmmmmm? And if so, who are they?

I’m game for _whatever_ you can dish out…

I probably shouldn’t have said that.

I’d better play some more, if I’m going to crank out 10 posts before 5:00 (PST), so - someone pick me & I’ll do another truth.

Truth: What do you regret doing most in your life? If you don’t have anything, then what do you regret NOT doing most?

Dare: For the next 5 posts in this thread, you must type backwards (but the wording of the sentence can be forwards: ekil siht).  
**Revenant Threshold** , What was the most serious lie you’ve ever told anyone?

Name the physical attribute (your own) that you are most displeased with. Tell us why.

Very easy.

When I was 14, I was visiting my aunt’s house. My other aunt was also over. She was getting ready to leave, and she came over to me and said “I need to talk to you in private.”

She took me aside into another room, and said to me,

“I need to tell you that you are adopted. You are not your mother’s child, you are my child. The reason I am telling you this is because your mother, she is getting very selfish. Now, if you need anything, you can call me.”

And then she disappeared from my life for five years, the :wally !

And don’t worry about destroying the mood - I’m well over it, and don’t mind talking about it! 🙂

In the interests of privacy, I shall enigmatically assert that the poster whose name answers this question is well aware of her own identity. Given that she’s likely to show up in this thread at some point (if she hasn’t done so already; I’ve not read the whole thing), I’ll let her out herself if she’d like. In the meantime, about 50% of you will just have to pretend you don’t know whom I’m referring to. 🙂

Failing the above, second would have to be **Anastasaeon**.

I told a girl that I had OCD once, to try and get her to like me (she had it, I was looking for something in common, that seemed sensible at the time). Eventually I owned up to it, and she was understandably pissed, since we’d shared a lot of stories about it - mine all being fake. Of course, ironically, I now **do** have OCD…but that’s karma for you :rolleyes:

Very well! Then I dare you post a small paragraph on why “George Bush is the sexiest man alive”, and quote that line in your sig for 5 posts, if you please 😃

I cried for sure, because I was always the one who got clobbered first because I fell asleep first (jelly in my hair, toes tied together, etc.) and stuff, but I stuck it out and didn’t go home.

It would’ve been too embarrassing to go home!! Better to stay and be tortured.

Between work, school, and my kids, I stay _very_ busy, but I keep up with the the important stuff. The things that I neglect are fairly minor (laundry, clutter, etc.), but I’ve got a couple of fish tanks that need to be cleaned out **bad**. I think the fish in those tanks are about to evolve legs so they came escape.
