Absolutely sod all
Ten at a time would be nice ; )
Uh, I called a doctor Mr instead of Doctor. When you act like a real doc you get called one.
I feel like punching all of the ones who treated me until I got FM.
I like comedy shows to get my mind off of it.
You assume I have a sig other. I massage MYSELF with my ergonomic massager. The only time a man wants to massage you, is when he can score a home run from it LOL. (hit some booty)
I would like to be warm on a cold day
I am on 5 htp which seems to be helping as well as Magnesium
Fav comfort food is whatever I happen to be craving at the time
No I dont use the bathroom on myself.
I want to beat stupid people with my cane, for being stupid lol
I love to swim
The sound of water hitting the rocks soothes me every time, nature sounds with water
I pulled a prank on my ex co worker a long time ago. I put a realistic looking snake near her desk and laughed my butt off when she saw it
I was in the next room listening to her response and laughing silently lol. She called out my name right away as she knew I had done it lol!
Hmm I like something sweet for breakfast like nutri grain strawberry bars with the nutritional drink called Boost
fm has recently had me literally yell out in pain due to shooting pains going through me in public
pants although I do wear a skirt and will be girly sometimes
I had a rabbit named Snowy
Hmmmm blessings. I found out who is REALLY in my corner when the you-know-what hits the fan...so that would be the blessing.
Some genius said, but you look fine to me!
A good response to that is, well you look intelligent, but looks can be deceiving ; )
