Ever since, we both are happy and I am so blessed and lucky to have someone like him in my life at this time, and hopefully later in life too as well. We have been together for a year and almost a month. Let's just say, I have a gut feeling.

[Cinder & Smoke]

... but hate the taste and smell of liver.
Hubby likes it and I have only cooked it for him once after decades of marriage.

OLD Liver Tail >>>

I was a lil kid ...5-8, somewhere around there ... toddled in from school ...
Ewwwww ... What STINKS in here?

Mom was not impressed ... "That's what were having for dinner, Dear; it's LIVER.
It has a unique smell before it's cooked. You'll LIKE it."

YUCCCK! I won't like it - it smells BAD! I wanna Hamburger.
I'm only cooking ONE meal!
I headed for my room.

Dad appeared on the scene ... "Gosh, what STINKS in here?"

Mom was REALLY not impressed ... "YOU asked for it, Skipper!"

The smell became overpowering, even upstairs behind my closed door ...
KIDS ~ Dinner's ready!

Five "Dinner's ready - COME!" calls later, I was seated at the dining room table.

I *s*l*o*w*l*y* ate everything in sight - except IT.
IT lay menacingly on my plate - a huge glob of UCK!

"Eat you LIVER, Dear."
I don't WANT it - gimmie a Hamburg or a Pean-Butter & Jelly Sammich.
EAT IT!

I'll get SICK if I eat that junk!
"EAT it if you want any desert."

EAT IT!
I'll get sick if I do ...
"Eat it Dear. You'll probably like it; you ate it all the time when you were little."
SHE (my lil Sister) didn't eat all hers!"
"She ate most of it and didn't complain a bit!"
She can hardly talk ...
EAT IT and stop complaining!

I took a tiny bite ...
And Yuppers - Did I get **SICK**!
*Barfed* all over the plate, table cloth, my lap ... a real 1st class job!

I remember getting *cleaned* then *paddled* and sent to my room - hungry.
I NEVER remember having LIVER again - EVER!

When my sis and I were kids, we always knew when Mom and Dad were fighting. They went to great lengths to hide those types of things from us--we never overheard or saw any tension between them. But when Mom was ticked at him, we got spaghetti for dinner. Pasta is a side dish, not a meal to my Dad. When they had made up, we got liver and onions--Dad's favorite meal! I required half a pound of bacon to eat a tiny slice of liver!

Offal was a regular part of our diet when I was growing up since it was cheaper than regular meat, and I actually loved liver and onions, and kidneys, before I became vegetarian. Like Phred, I grew up in an era when you got a clip round the ear, at least, if you didn't eat the majority of what was on your plate. However, after several heave-ups at the table whenever my step-mother used pearl barley (another cheap but nutritious food), she stopped trying. I feel my gorge rising just writing the name of that food down, can't even look at it in the grocery store. I loathed swede (rutabaga) and marrow (a stringy and watery very large squash) also but they didn't make me sick.

[Suki Wingy]

-I can't kill insects and spiders that come into my house.
-I'm not afraid of anything that I can think of, and that thought kind of bothers me.
-When I was young, I was afraid of internal organs and I couldn't go anywhere near the giant heart at the Museum of Science and Industry.
-My earliest memory involves walking through tall grass looking for turtles.
-I know I should be nice to them, but people with very low self esteem really anger me.
-I have very little self control and time managment skills so I'm late with everything I do and almost everywhere I go, despite trying. I've very often spent hours on my computer without even realizing it.
-I really want to take a gap year to travel or live out on the fringes somewhere in Africa, but can't afford it.
-I want to join the Peace Corps but they want a degree first.
-I've often had sudden urges to up and join the army even though I'm usually against war.

[cali]

oh after reading these I thought of a few more lol:

-I wear virtually no makeup, only Diluted foundation and only to cover the redness from my Rosacea.
-cats love me, I clearly remeber several times walking to school with random cats purring and rubbing themselves against my legs, there is even 2 that despite all my dogs, hang out in my front yard. when I met my moms boyfrineds cat I was told that chances are I would not see him because he is really shy, my mom was going over there for months before the cat would come out of hiding. I walked in the door and the cat ran right up to me purring lol.
-I HATE to buy things for myself, but I LOVE to shop for my pets and for other people. the question I hate the most is "what do you want for x-mas/your birthday?" because there is nothing "I" want, other then stuff for others, which apperntly isnt an acceptable answer.
-I dont submit to peer pressure, I dont drink or smoke, and never have. that doesnt mean nobody has tried to make me, my own parents have been trying to get me to drink for years, but the most I am willing to drink is a breezer. I have been pressured to chain smoke at school events, but I always passed.
-I am a crazy picky eater, I love a lot of things, but ONLY if they are made a certain way. for example, I love pie...so long as its pumpkin. I love Pizza..so long as there is no veggies at all, and the crust has to be thick, stuffed crust is gross, the sauce cannot contain onions, Cheese must be either Mozza, or Chedder, or marble etc... I love Burgers, so long as they contain no pickles, onions, or any type of sauce, and they MUST have cheese. I dont eat any seafood at all, I love the smell, but I hate the taste lol.
-I cant throw up. not naturally, I can only thow up if I induce it. do you know how annoying that is? its doesnt seem like something you would miss, until you cant do it.
