If you had a warning label, what would it say? Slippery When Wet. OK no. Must. Have. Coffee.
What is your useless talent? I can guess things like the number of beans in a jar or the number of toothpicks or whatever. Pretty useless unless there's a prize, which there occasionally is.
How often do you weigh yourself? Every morning first thing.
What is the most ridiculous thing you believed as a child? I honestly believed that when we slept, if we slept with gum in our mouths, that the gum would travel through our ear and get out of it and get in our hair.
If you are a woman, when did you last wear a dress? If you are a man, when did you last wear a suit and tie? OMG, I don't even remember - maybe four years ago.
What mystery do you wish you knew the answer to? I wish I knew who killed the four college students in Idaho. I mean, not personally however! LOL that was bad. Sorry. But I do wish I knew who had done that.
