Man, if they ever weighed one of my tissues after I've used it, it'd be right off the scale.

Quirky,
Its not the tissue weighing I would mind, its the thought of having a unknown substance pushed into my nose. They can say its cold germs or salt water, but, I'm not crazy enough to take the chance. Heck, it could be some form of a deadly germ substituted by some psycho scientist. Shadow

No, not together Quirky
The pie a couple of hours after the strawberries. They were sugared and served with whipped topping, so I consider them a dessert too. Doesn't sound like a good combo., but you never know...(I like trying unusual blendings - have you ever had a peanut butter cookie and dreamsicle ice cream sandwich? Heavenly!)

You'd be surprised at what people with iron stomachs can do Quirky
I was, back in nursing school. Surprised myself at the things I could do, see, smell, touch, etc. and then proceed to eat lunch. ;) Not that way any longer; this post and comments cancelled my appetite for a late night dessert, lol. Just joking but yeah gross stuff I wouldn't do for any amount.

Are you kidding?
I do something like this every day. I had no idea my boogers could help scientific advancement.
Anyway, I've sent a box of snot off to you via FedEx...please see that it gets into the proper hands.
