Ok so I stopped by too, and got some very interesting facts
about you...thanks. By the way, I don't go for traditional types of pets either, so I can wait to see your pictures of your pets.

Okay, Sassyass, I won't ... but, yes, I am pretty young.
One of the two or three youngest people here, I believe.
And therefore, everyone should keep my (actual) immaturity in mind, when I (repeatedly) offend them.
P.S. This was like my eighth choice for a username. I would have much preferred several others.

I didn't realize that you were so young
The Madame thing threw me off I guess. I have a daughter almost as old as you. Either you are young or I am getting old, forget it, don't answer.

A waterbed, because mine sure does suck! I had a strange father/fathers as well, father #4 had to have been related to Hitler.

So, like I said, it was hardly the same thing ...
We had central air conditioning the whole time. Yet, simply weren't allowed to use it.
As you can imagine, it was incredibly frustrating.

haha very funny.
No, they had them, and they had central air, too. BUT the house we lived in was too old to have central air and the window AC would just cool one room. By the time I was a teen we had them in our bedrooms, but the rest of the house was hot and humid.

But, that's different, since none of your peers would have had them, either.
(Seeing as, I assume they hadn't even been invented yet.)

Okay, well now you are scaring me.
I know you are an intelligent young woman, and the fact that you had a drug problem makes me worry for my own kids someday. Sure, the older one's current views would be prohibitive, but after reading this...
Oh, and "we didn't have air conditioners when I was a kid." Haha. And we had to walk to school up hill both directions.

Thanks, blackcat ...
I continued to drink it, partly because people kept daring me ... and, also, because my uncle (who's a doctor) said there was absolutely no legitimate medical reason for the phenomenon.

So how many times do people get walked in on while doing their business in the bathroom? That is one thing that is really embarassing---Whether you're the bathroom user, or the bathroom intruder.

mpo,
I don't really have anything to say, but I'm going to say it anyway, just to tell something about me.
I said it right here, but it had to be deleted in deference to a sense of social propriety.
Thanks. I know that's totally irrelevant, but I needed to tell (and delete) it.
Remember 10-2-4...Dr. Pepper three times a day, keeps the Dr. away.
Add Onion Rings for delightful afterburps.

i drank dr. pepper during my sophomore year in high school.
i used to pour the contents of one of those straw candy things, powdered flavored sugar, into the soda. it would erupt in foam and i'd lose about a third of the drink but the sugary sweetness (like it wasn't sweet enough already) was good.

It's not so much that I have a bad back, Trevor, it's just that I have an extremely hard time getting comfortable, when sleeping ...
At any rate, I'm really into yoga, so I guess my instructor is kinda like my chiropractor, anyway.

Unfortunately, food4thought, everyone here (boyfriend, brother, etc.) was watching basketball (because Villanova was playing) ...
thus, I got caught up in that and lost track of the time. Wouldn't have been much fun to watch Supercross alone, anyway.

You might try
a tempurpedic bed. I slept on a water bed for years, but fine my tempurpedic to be superior. When I was a kid the air conditioner was only turned on for about an hour in the evening, and we lived in New Mexico. Not because of disease, but because of economics. It didn't matter much, because we played outside until we were forced to come in. Glad to hear that you seem to have overcome the drug thing. Enjoyed your comment and agree with you about leaving some things to the imagination. Kind like good looking women. They are more enticing with a few clothes on.

In some ways, your dad was right about the bad air from air conditioning. Some people are sensitive to that.

It wasn't just Donovan's injury ...
(though, that certainly
didn't help). It was a multitude of things that conspired against them. When you "soar as close to the mountaintop" as the Birds did the previous year,
without grasping the gold ring ... it's really tough to recover (in only six months).

Hmm...intereting
Waterbed, eh? If "Princess" wasn't your nickname before, it is now.
If a soft-drink made me puke, I wouldn't try it a second time; never mind a thirteenth. Unless maybe drinking it also resulted in "Oh, Sweet Jesus."
But I don't like to puke, so that would be tough call even if I knew it would give me a deep religious experience.
