Secrets & True Confessions


Okay we do enough confessing here we ought to start a thread about our "secret" obsessions, fears, if only to find out exactly how alike we are OR to get a pat on the back or extra witnesses for the sanity hearing

Here goes

I just paid for tickets for my mother to visit me for a MONTH!!! I've got her on a non stop flight to the major airport by my son, and then we will fly back together the weekend of my highschool reunion! I don't think she likes to travel alone, and changing planes frightens her.
Thanks heaven for Southwest Airlines. I don't like them, but they are affordable and made this so much easier!


I love the smell of books

Re: Secrets & True Confessions


Sometimes I vacuum just to get the nice lines in my carpet.

I love the painful burn that Listerine gives my mouth in the morning.

When I was 10, my cousin and I put on our Girl Scout (or maybe we were still Brownies?) uniforms and went door to door with a can collecting money....for ourselves.

I have an ice cube phobia. It's not the ice that bothers me--it's the idea that it may be all germy (so I guess it's just part of my germ OCD). I felt really vindicated when a report came out that ice in restaurants that is scooped out of a bin contains more bacteria than toilet water.

Along the same lines, I won't eat food someone else has prepared unless I've seen how they keep their kitchen (and yes, I'm painfully aware that gross things happen in restaurants, but I try to block it out).

I paid my roommate in college to slash my ex's tires when I caught him sleeping with my "best friend."

My step dad really pissed me off when I was 16, and when it was my night to cook, I sprayed his dinner with Windex before I served it to him.

I'll be back with more tomorrow. emoticon

Re: Secrets & True Confessions


I peeked in here once & thought I might be a little too much for this post... but folks are posting so I will too &

The Not so bad...
quote

Sometimes I vacuum just to get the nice lines in my carpet.



My lines have to be all cool, too. If the boys sweep and the lines aren't cool, it doesn't count and needs to be redone ~ yes we all realize I am a whackjob. Same goes for the cutting the grass...On all loops left tire over the tire mark from the previous pass. Can't leave stragglers or that's a redo too.

quote

I had a cigarette today- well more than one.



I smoke, wish I didn't... well I can't even really say I wish I didn't... I wish they weren't harmful. But I smoked a few today.

I love the smell of both skunk and cow manure...

I can sometimes feel people's electricity in my mouth, taste it if you like. Certain silverware gives me a similar sensation.

I can't touch sponges ~ they gross me out and make my jaws clench. Same for extracting cotton out of pill bottles.


If I have a dairy queen or a milkshake I have to have a pepsi directly afterwards ~ it gives the same "burn" sensation as Mrs. D likes with the listerine. Only time I drink pepsi without Jack Daniels in it, as I am not a pop drinker.

I have a thing about people's dish towels and I really don't like to touch them because I fear they might have been washed with the household underwear and socks. The thoughts of someone's dish towels mingling with their husbands "boys" grosses me out to no end. I assure you if I offer you a dish towel in my home ~ it has not mingled with the anyone's "boys", nor has it flipped around with socks.

The Ugly: (And I hope no one holds this stuff against me...)

When I was 18 I got real excited about the 4th of July, living in Ohio at the time I thought it might be enjoyed better at the beach... I hopped in my car with 2 friends and we headed to Corpus Christy Texas ~ had a wild time that resulted in me needing to place a call home for 1,000 (maybe 2, but don't make me ask) bucks to be Western Unioned so I could finish the party & get us home... That one still hasn't been forgotten. A bit more to the story, no arrests, no promiscuity ~ but I think that is about all this board can handle.

Had a gas card my grandparents gave me to use to fill up and tool around. Well we tooled around every night ~ doing something we probably shouldn't ~ those were my herbal sanity days... Usually good for 200-500 dollars worth of gas each month and gas was pretty cheap back in those days...Each month I would tell them I would cut back and I just never did.

Had a 13 keg, keg party at my Grandparent's when they went to Hawaii~ the neighbor reports there was a minimum 200 in and out throughout the weekend. I don't think there was that many and 23 years later I am still furious for spilling the beans.

Was in cocaine rehab at 18 (prior to the kiddos)~ 30 days in the hole, I needed it. Also treated for my affinity for drink, pills & mary jane... Never touched cocaine again ~ I know I can't, do drink on occasion ~ I love a good drink, also get very excited when an injury requires pain meds (sorry I can't help it) As for doobie ~ I honestly enjoy it tremendously, from what I remember & I have an excellent memory. Did smoke it after I left rehab on occasion, don't smoke it now that I have the kids. Will smoke it again once the kids have grown and left the house. People eat corn on the cob, as it grows naturally, I look at mary jane the same way. Because I don't want the kids to use it as a stepping stool for other drugs I can't promote it or its use. But I am pro marijuana. Have talked about all of this frankly with the kids, except the pro mary jane stance (in the closet about that).

Have several other "goofball" things I could share, but I feel naked now & have never been an in the public naked person... so that's my contribution.

Re: Secrets & True Confessions


I will often leave the house, get in the truck and then get out and go check all the doors.

I will unplug everything I can, ie tv, fans, radios ect before I leave the house. I'm freaky about fire.

I often pass gas and blame it on Goo Bear.

My girlfriend does that too ~ her husband & I can't get over how she unplugs everything and I do mean everything. But if she doesn't and she doesn't check she is too nervous to function when she is away from the home. The worry eats her alive.

Re: Secrets & True Confessions


I buy things and hide them from my husband, bring them out later and say "we've had this for awhile"

I too enjoy prescription pain meds, 'cuz they work and I love the buzz they give me. I hoard them for emergencies

I bought a 6 pack of beer, to make beer brittle with, but I was really afraid that someone I knew would see me buying it. It was the cheapest brand Walmart had

I enjoy being alone

There's lots of stuff I've NEVER shared nor written down for fear someday it will be used against me in a sanity hearing

I have lusted after someone other than my husband. I just lusted, but it was hard not to do more than lust. I knew it would not be worth the cost of doing more than lusting.

I hoard to because you just never know and I am comforted knowing I have a stash, lol.

Me too, I enjoy it a lot.

I worked with the greatest guy at the Post Office ~ I call him the love of my life that I never could love... he was perfect and he knew of my situation and the difficulties with Greg. We never crossed the line, never even came close, but in our minds we sure did.


This is a fun thread ~ we might need to put this baby under lock and key

that's pretty easy to set up but I have not cared for those kinds of forums. i like things to be accessible to everyone. but if it is something the board wants, i'll do it.

Re: Secrets & True Confessions


I am an open book ~ I might not be a public naked person, but my "dirty undies" ~ whackjob ways have been seen daily by many... Oh the shame.

Life lessons ~ I did some crazy things looking back, but learned a lot along the the walk. And I am now outta the closet about my love of the smell of cow manure ~ if I can put that in type for the world to see I can shoulder anything :)

This is a fun one ~ such a great idea !! I Love it.

Re: Secrets & True Confessions


Well since a few of my big secrets are out of the bag, and only a few of you have ever seen my face, I feel relatively safe.

Honey, your secrets are small fry. I should tell you some of my family's secrets.

Me too! On sundays, I make all three kids nap for three hours (or at least play in their rooms with the door shut) so that I can be alone.

Re: Secrets & True Confessions


this is the best thread at runboard right now. I enjoy stuff like this because it just goes to show you can trip and laugh and giggle about the silly stuff and everyone has their share of middle or higher ground confession stuff too.

Emmy--
I missed this one. I just now saw it.

We love you, cigarettes and all. emoticon

(You too, Onesie. I also just saw your reply).

Obviously I'd want you both to quit simply for health reasons. I watched my father die of lung cancer and it was terrible. I feel closer to the both of you even though we've never met than I did to him (I barely ever saw him, we didn't have much of a relationship). So, if it was bad watching him, it would be absolutely unbearable if either of you went through that.

I think I can safely speak for most of us here when I say that smoking has no bearing on how we all feel about you guys.

Re: Secrets & True Confessions


My confessions for today:

I don't really like other people's kids (there are some exceptions). I'm never unkind to them, but I find them annoying. I'm sure my kids are extremely annoying to other people.

There are some kids I really like, though. Just not very many.


I used to steal quarters out of my parents change jar.

My brother-in-law's homophobia annoyed me so much, I signed him up on a gay dating site. I used his real picture, real e-mail address and real cell phone number. No one (not even Mr. D) knows that I did it.
