Did you go to band camp and do your stories start with, “this one time in band camp........”1 -
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.4

You know you can just buy a bag of the marshmallows, right?0 -

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 online0 -

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!0 -

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

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.

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.

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. ❤️1
