    Played the clarinet in high school.

    Did you go to band camp and do your stories start with, “this one time in band camp........”

    I am a purveyor of perverted paintings and paraphernalia related to anything and everything that is not a real person. Also, that is legal. I prefer to not be in prison, thanks.

    I used to regularly buy 10 boxes of lucky charms breakfast cereal then open them all to take out all the marshmallows to put in Tupperware so I can eat them as a snack in bed while reading.

    You know you can just buy a bag of the marshmallows, right?

    Can get mini marshmallows for hot chocolate but the lucky charms ones were freeze died or something. Couldn’t get them on their own back when I was doing it, at least not here in uk, and I was too young to have a debt card to order online

    Oh, gotcha. Yeah, here in the U.S. you can buy giant bags of the little freeze dried ones. Oddly, I keep finding them in general stores in Amish towns. My folks always send me a new bag once a year, even though I don't eat cereal anymore! :lol:

    I don’t really care for a lot of things. I get tatted to feel something.

    Soccer is my first love - played for 13 years had to give it up - my body just wasn't meant for the game after I started lifting

    I was a child model & filmed a commercial with Bill Cosby, with a bunch of other kids. He was enormously unsettling. Fortunately, I've always been fairly intuitive & strong willed, so just stayed away from him, cuz his awkward & inappropriate over-attention & lack of personal boundaries creeped me out.

    He seemed to sense my ducking & dodging to avoid being near him... I kept repositioning myself away from him, which annoyed the director, so was therefore deemed difficult... & he kept an eye on me (no pun intended), but finally left me alone. Eventually, they phased me out of the commercial, so I didn't appear in the final edit.

    Stranger still, months later, I was asked back for a 2nd commercial with him, which I turned down... everyone chastised me cuz I was passing up $$ & I never said why (cuz the adults around me dismissed kids & their opinions, anyway, so I knew my words would fall on deaf ears), but I just didn't feel good about it.

    Trust your instincts.

    Oh wow. What a terrible thing to go through. Do you remember what the commercial was. I’m curious to see what it was. What a horrible thing to go through as a kid and adults not understanding.

    May I refer you back to the “brunettes appreciation” thread?

    That’s amazing. And alarming. You had that gut feeling as a child and the adults around didn’t? Or ignored it? Good for you. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

    Wow! That’s an amazing sleeve. The statement is kinda sad.....there are worse ways to feel something though so that’s good.

    I'm not comfortable around clutter. I'm an extreme neat freak and can't lay down at night (peacefully) if there's a dish in my sink.

    😅 I'm the same way.

    You can replace the extras. The main talent is the $$$, especially a huge brand name. Plus, he was like that with all the kids. For some reason, I seemed to be the only one uncomfortable with it. If others were, too... they didn't let on, cuz they knew they'd be let go, like me. And, we're all there for the paycheck.

    I found my mom's brother, after they'd been split up when he was 1 1/2 and my mom was around 5. When I got them reunited my mom was 78 by then. My grandmother had died in childbirth so my grandfather put his dds into an orphanage and I guess back then the boys became wards of the state. Come to find out my uncle had lived less than 10 miles from us for much of his childhood but my mom, her sister and brother never really knew about each other. They were able to reconnect for a couple of years before they all passed away.

    It's too bad they spent so much time apart, but nice that they were finally able to connect through your efforts.

    I used to hate going to the dentist so much that over 30 yrs. went by before I went for anything other than emergency visits. :blush: But then I went to a different dentist, and actually love it now. :)
