I stocked up on after the holiday Russell Stover Dark Chocolate 1 lb Assortment Valentine candy. Then I hid em from my kids.

I purchased 16 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, but hid 12.  
Why I don’t weigh 700 lbs is one of life’s great mysteries.  
When my SO calls, I always tell him I’m cleaning or doing actual office work, when in actuality, I’m sitting reading a book, eating Girl Scout Cookies and Russell Stover chocolates. Then, about an hour before he gets home, I will rush madly about the house.

Yeah, it’s bad, but it has worked for 19 years.

Just saying it before someone else does (or uses it as a sig)…  
After doing several shots of RumpleMinze, Cuervo and some Everclear jello…  
I sang _I’m a Slave For You_ at a party. And danced as well. I wouldn’t admit it but a) another Doper knows and b) it was videotaped.

Kwyjibo:

Flowers must go through you very quickly. It’s best to be prepared. Your bathroom must smell wonderful.

When nothing else is on, I watch Buffy. I always think of her as Muffy. That Sarah Geller, I’d like to bury my tongue to the hilt…oof, almost got into TMI there.

Now that I know “All About Eve”, I’m even more titillated by her than I was. Am I sexually twisted? Do I think about sex way too much? Hmm, I better go Ponder this. Besides, Buffy may be on somewhere.

I’ll step up and admit that in addition to the smell of skunk, I like the smells of gasoline and (at low intensity) paper mills. Yes, PAPER MILLS. This is in part because I grew up in a town that had a lot of them but haven’t lived there since I was about 7, so it’s a nostalgia thing, but the fact is I love the smell.

At low intensity. Can’t stress that enough.

I could use some mouth to mouth.

I was part of the marketing team that built up the hype for Titanic .

Ha! Not only am I from MI can don’t play euchre, I don’t even know how!

Beyond that…ummm…i have sex like a guy…i don’t cuddle just roll over and go to sleep. (Except most of the time my SO whines at me to cuddle so I do…I just grumble.) I love fore play, I love sex but when I’m done, I’m done, on with life.

I pee in the shower. Pre lather. I figure it’s pretty much the same as the toilet when all the water is running.

The soap should take it all away…right?..right?

It’s a pity that my friend Jason isn’t like you, **em** … a few weeks ago, he couldn’t sleep, so he drove up to the local university from his house (wanting to see how many kilometres he’d run recently). On the way there, he passed by a skunk, and the WHOLE car smelled! V8 tomato juice cocktail treatment for the entire car upholstery, anyone?

But really… skunks having a pleasant and lemony smell? Sorry, but it just doesn’t work for me, IMO.

I don’t know… should I tell or not? Hmmm…

[sub]Psst… I didn’t know how to talk until I was four years old![/sub]

Okay, okay… I know that’s not the kind of secret you all are talking about. I have an embarassing story that could qualify, but I’m not so sure I should tell it!

Right now, I’d have to say that my dirty little secret is that I once went to elementary school with no pants on, just tights! That must have been a RALLY fun day for the teachers…

Oh! Can I talk about other people?

We were worried my little sister was autistic because she refused to learn how to crawl. For a really, really long time.

I can still tease her by calling her “Our sweet developmentally challenged girl”. (She’s very bright, but like me can be very blond at times.)

In my other post, I meant to say that it must have been “a **REALLY** fun day for the teachers”… don’t worry, they didn’t take us to car rallies or anything like that! 😃

I will do almost anything to get out of attending funerals  
(my family is big on funerals. They wouldn’t travel 50 miles to see you married, but they’ll travel 5000 miles to see you buried.)
