You just realised and processed something that happened in January, 2008.

You wish all clothing had the washing instructions specially printed inside, instead of having annoying, itchy tags.

You cut all your tags out of your clothing before wearing.

You get frustrated by people who cannot spell.

When after a few hours at a Swingers club you stop thinking about (or having) sex and begin to get very uncomfortable with the inappropriate music that is playing (or at least inappropriate for you).

I have to rip the tags out as if I cut them out it would leave parts of tags which would be just as bad... Actually worse as I would have to cut out the remains of the tag before I could wear it. A few clothes I can wear with tage... Like ones I have had which are mostly worn as the tags have turned soft. 90% of my clothes came from previously worn sources which suits me fine as they are nicely worn in.

You read the words "Swingers club" and you picture a group of people who get together for the sole purpose of swinging on a swing set before thinking it has any other meaning. Then you go back to thinking how cool of an idea it would be to in the group of the former......

Ohh. Bluebottle flies... Have you seen the beautiful but slightly smaller green ones?
I sometimes cry or feel like crying when I accidently squash an insect. They are all so lovely and beautiful. Yesterday I had the car travelling blanket thingie out and I was lying on it... And this tiny orange spider thing (Oh... I pray for clearer eyesight!) which was so humourus and characterful in the way that it walked... I was chuckling away for a good minute or two. It was lovely! To think that God has made such funny insects! I love them!

I can't rip them out, as I cringe when tearing fabric away from fabric.

I go "Grrr" and rip them out as I hate itchy backs etc...

Whzt I do cringe at is people chewing cardboard and when I have had to use my teeth to open cardboard packets.... Makes me shiver thinking about it!

Joe90,

I was a proofreader at my local newspaper between 1999-2001 and the spelling errors made me about tear out my hair!
