On the SSD message board, they've started a "confessions" thread. I thought instead of 10 things today, I'd give you 10 Confessions. Some may be repeats, so I apologize if you've already read them.
1. I am a flaming liberal. I support gay marriage, think Obama is doing the best anyone can, and think Fox News is the spawn of the devil.
2. I am a nail biter. I've had this curse since I was young, and it's still going strong. My nails are awful. The only time I have ever stopped was when I've had wisdom teeth removed. When I was a teenager I tried everything to stop, including that icky tasting stuff. Now I just don't care. There's so many worse vices in the world that I allow myself to be a nail biter and not feel guilty about it.
3. I am fish phobic. Be they live or be they dead, I hate them. I can't stand the smell of fish cooking, and at our Wal-mart, they keep my dog's food across from the fish tanks. I run in and get it and run back out. The idea of having a fish tank and having to take the fish out to clean then tank, then put them back in totally icks me out.
4. I have never drank coffee, and have maybe had one or two glasses of hot chocolate. The idea of drinking something hot skeeves me out. I just can't do hot drinks.
5. In the winter, I only shave my legs every week. Or so. Right now I think I'm going on 3 weeks. I wear jeans. No one needs to be looking at my legs.
6. I hate washing dishes. The idea of sticking my hands into dirty water is so disgusting. When our dishwasher broke a couple of years ago, I bought paper plates. I do not do hand washing. If it can't go in the dishwasher, I don't buy it.
7. The first time we went to Branson, we hated it. We came home a few days early because we were so miserable. Luckily, we gave it another try and now we love it.
8. I dislike big dogs but I love little ones. I'd have a half dozen dogs under 20 lbs if I could.
9. I strongly dislike cats, but we have 3 of them. They totally creep me out and if one is near me, I will take and wrap a blanket around my arm and gently guide it to move because I can't stand touching them, but I also can't handle them being near me. If anything, getting cats is my biggest regret ever.
10. I love green olives. I can eat a whole bottle without stopping. When I was a teen, I used to buy a jar to eat while cruising main.
