When I was a kid, I was playing 'camping' with my friend, her small turtle, a popcicle stick, and a blanket....Well, the turtle was in the tent and when I wasn't looking the tent fell over on top of the turtle...You guessed it, I got up and stepped on the blanket, and ooops, smash went the turtle!! We tried to revive it, but no luck. I think my mom bought my friend a new turtle. Now you know one of my deep dark secrets!!!

when i was 13, i babysat for a couple where they both smoked. after the babies went to bed, i went into the guest bathroom (because of the fan) and decided to try one. i turned the fan on but not the light. while i was hacking up a lung, i thought i heard their car pull up. i grabbed a tube of toothpaste and real quick squirt it onto my tongue so i could brush my teeth with my fingers. after i had it smeared pretty well, i realized it was that white desitin ointment with cod liver oil. it coated my tongue for what seemed like days!

I dyed my mother's hair orange and gold on Saturday. She looked like a snowcone.

Ok, I am a severe shopaholic. I finally have to admit it. It makes me happy, content. I have just had to realize that when I am broke, I can only shop in the 99 cent store.

If I could afford to do it and if my mother-in-law weren't dying and if I had someplace to go, I think I would leave my husband and take my two beautiful children with me. I'm simply exhausted from the emotional toll of living with a bipolar manic-depressive who will not get treatment. He's driving me away.

Whoa, Sia! By not getting treatment, isn't it dangerous to have him around?

I believe my father has it (I'm not in contact with him). He has always had mental problems (probably from living with his <Mod hd> of a mother, but that's another story, another bottle of scotch.) Anyhew, he was admitted to a mental institution last year after throwing out his belongings out the kitchen window....he remained there until he 'felt' that he was able to take care of himself, so he walked out; last I heard, he has locked himself into his house, and trust me when I say that I won't be among the visitors, if he gets any.

Making a rambling story short, I'd check into possible meds for your hubby.

I shouldn't put personal stuff like this in a public thread, probably, so you can add comments in my folder if you want to do so. No offense meant towards anyone.

We have seven cats and they throw up often. I wait for it to dry before i clean it because it's easier to pick up. Timing it is an artform.

LOL Fabnsab. Sometimes it's really easy to scrape it up off carpet when it's dry.

Fabnsab, I have an 18-year-old cat who yakks up a hairball about once a month. Sometimes I find them when they're "fresh," which is when they clean up easily with a baby wipe, no matter on what surface the hairball lands (although a smooth surface is best for the fresh ones!). Here's my confession: I've found dessicated hairballs in out-of-the-way places, like behind the TV or behind an upholstered chair, long after they were deposited and they aren't as easy to clean up then. My trick for the dried-up ones is to remove the big lump of hair with a dry paper towel and then lay some wet folded paper towels on the offending area for at least 15 minutes to loosen the dried parts. Then it wipes up pretty easily. YUK! I love my kitties, though!!

LOL, thats too funny that I'm not the only one. My one cat has a problem chewing so we have to feed her only soft food but she has to wait for us to sequester her so if she gets hungry, she'll eat the hard food then throw it up because she swallows it whole. Thats the stuff thats better dry!!

Fab, actually, just this morning at about 7:40 I was sitting at the kitchen table holding a cup of coffee in one hand and petting my 18-year-old with the other. All of a sudden she began to heave and choke--so I sprang into action. I set my coffee down and grabbed the cat in one hand and the wastebasket in the other. I aimed her head into the basket, which caught the mess. Then when I put her onto the floor I tossed things at her until she ran out onto the back porch just in case she had more mess to make. Luckily, she didn't!

fabnsab, i used to put warm water in my cat's kit and kaboodle or whiskas. it made it soft for her and cost less than canned food.

I worked in the pet department of G.C. Murphy's during high school. One of my evening assignments was to clip the wings on 100 parakeets so they could be sold as 'young' birds who couldn't fly and were easier to finger tame. I couldn't do this out on the sales floor, of course, so they had me use the only nearby room that was not used at night--the kitchen where they prepared all the snack bar food during the day. Feathers flew all evening in that room and I never ate in the snack bar again...

Thanks, Tabby, I'll try that. She had 11 teeth pulled so the soft food is a necessity but when she's hungry and we're not home, I'll try that trick.

I have yet to watch a whole episode of Big Brother 4.

Admin-
I am not sure it is safe for the founder of the site formerly known as "The Big Brother Fan Club" to admit that. :)
Well- I am glad you used to watch or I would have been stuck on that AOL board the first year.

what an admission Admin...and welcome to posting. I've been wondering where you were and how you and wife and kid(S?) are doing.

I haven't been much involved in BB myself this year.Even dumped the live feeds and don't even read them anymore.

But I still love this board of yours! Have a happy day:)

I'm always lurking. Parenthood takes me away though. It's good but hard. I'm not adapting that well. I think Lisa has adapted better.

Isn't the name of this topic, True Confessions? I know I shouldn't admit it..that's why it's funny!

When I have time to do TVCH, I'm too busy with other tasks to post much, I'm sorry but I guess that's my fate. :) I'm glad you're all having fun though!

Yes, Neil, we do have a blast here!!! So how did you come to found a site for BB if you're not a HUGE die-hard fan? I would think you wouldn't miss a minute of it since BB is one of the biggest topics here! LOL, just curious.

I enjoyed BB1 very much and got right into it. I was unemployed and I guess I needed something positive to keep my brain busy. The Big Brother fan club was born and now we're here talking about it!

BB2 was interesting too. BB3 I didn't seem to like as much and this year I find myself unemployed again and busy with parenthood. My brain is occupied, but with other things.

Lately though I'm finding the TVCH a great resource and escape from my daily worries. My involvement and time here is cyclical it seems, but I always come back home. :)

It's good to hear from you more often, Neil!

Neil, I couldn't agree with you more! BB1 was the best of them all! I still miss Brit and sloshy Joshy and Curtis and Eddie and Cassandra. I'm so glad I found this site even though I only lurked until last summer. TVCH is the best and you are very much appreciated!
