Patti, no fair giving me this much info, when I am writing a research paper. I CANNOT change my thesis at this point - I only have 4 weeks to go.
I did have an aunt that could lick her nose- she's dead.
I was thankfully not one of the 40,000 that got injured on the toilet the other night when I fell asleep after researching for my research paper.
And, I am right there with you on the 35,000 cookies - I'd say, I am also averaging 10,000 tootsie rolls with those but hey, I'm still a size 6!
