Hey Singles!!!

As I was putting away my groceries this weekend, I had to shake my head when I placed a brand-new box of Polident Extra Minty Denture Tablets on my bathroom counter.

HONEST, I own all my own teeth.

Really.

But the thing is, I have to wear a splint at night because I grind my teeth (how attractive, I know!), and soaking it in a denture tablet solution is part of my routine.

I was just thinking of how funny it would be if I had a dinner party at my house or something and my guests and a potential date/spouse happened to spot those tablets somewhere in my bathroom. I wonder if they'd all be watching me the rest of the night, wondering if my teeth were removable or if they would suddenly "slip"... :D

(NO offense to anyone who might actually wear dentures out there... it just seemed like a funny joke on my own self!)

What about all of you? Is there anything you might have to explain to a significant other? Habits, quirks, childhood toys, personal obsessions or routines?

(I'm sure any guy would groan at my small but growing collection of Hello Kitty accessories... but there is a story!!) When we were young, my parents wouldn't let me have things like that because we were on a budget and they're so expensive, and I was very jealous of a little girl at school who always had the latest Hello Kitty/Strawberry Shortcake pencils, boxes, erasers, etc. Now that I'm an adult, if I see a Hello Kitty item I like (I'm really picky; I currently own less than 6 such things), I buy it, doggone it!! To me, Hello Kitty actually symbolizes my own rebellion and adult independence. ;)

That, and the fact that I will always be a big kid at heart.

That's funny that you mentioned that.

I stayed at someone's house some years ago. So, i decided to brush my teeth. The only thng is i brushed thm with this-glue (or somethng like that)-> for -dentures. Can you imagine how suprissed i was whn i couldn't open my mouth!?

My advice to everyone. If you want to stay at someone's place. Always take your toothpaste with you.

My Batman graphic novel collection.

All my Batman T-shirts, and for some reason people think all my Star Wars T-shirts are even more weird...

Batman action figures...

I'd only put down your Batman cache because Superman and Spiderman are so much cooler... and I'd be really upset if your Star Wars shirts were cooler than mine.

Saved By the Bell? Oh no!! Zao must be a Screechie! :rolleyes:

Actually, I bet Zao just wanted his hair to look like Zach's. (Mr. Clairol #32 + Frost 'N' Tip.)

So I suppose that would be something Zao would have to explain to an significant other--his obsession with Zach Morris's hair... and why he has a big poster up in his room... :D

I'm so sorry, Zao. Please allow me to apologize.

I meant to say, in order to get his hair to look like Zack Morris, Zao uses "Mr. Clairol #32... and Frost 'N' Tip Shade #1 -- Fairest, Fluffiest, Prettiest Blonde." :D

Now THAT'S something Zao will have to explain to a significant other when she asks: "Why are your highlights better than mine???" and "Why do you spend more money on hair color than I do??!"

Not to mention the 20 boxes of Frost 'N' Tip he's hoarding in his closet. You never know when they might... *GASP* discontinue his favorite shade.

I've had the "I can explain" moments for


.Positive pregnancy test (not mine, it was a friends)
.Britney Spears magazine cutout tacked onto the wall of my cubicle at an old job.
.Blood/guts on my dad's van (wild turkey, back roads of florida)
.Rolling my car window down and opening my door from the outside to get out (broke my handle a while back and haven't gotten around to pricing and repairing, I get all kinds of crazy looks)
.An obscenely large jar of aspirin in my desk
.people running across tween books on my kindle (anything my youngest sister checks out on hers will pop up on mine)
.my grandma taking her top off at the beach. In the open. (I'm first generation american...occasionally I have to explain social norms to my parents and extended family)
.I had an art major/PETA activist/all around hippie as a roommate one year in college...between her projects laying around and various vegan flyers and things , everytime someone would drop by for me, it was an "I can explain" moment. My dad picked me up for thanksgiving that year while she was getting through some figure drawing class...he wasn't thrilled about the nude sketches strung up in her area.

I am so boring I couldn't even come up with a fake "I swear it isn't mine moment". Who will let me borrow one so I can sound more interesting?

This is definitely one of the funniest things I've read in a while--thank you so much for sharing!! :D Exactly how large is that "obscenely large" jar of aspirin? (And can I have a handful.) And please, warn me ahead of time if your grandma plans on visiting my favorite beach.

I also had to laugh about the t'ween things on your Kindle--at the store where I work there is a section of t'ween calendars, including One Direction, and one of my co-workers (not knowing who they were) said, "Why in the world are they making calendars featuring 13-year-old boys?! That's just WRONG!!"

Chrissy--don't worry if you don't have anything on your list... YET. :) (Give it time.)

I sometimes have to explain to people my "Gizmo" teddy bear that I've had since my parents gave it to me at Christmas back in 1984 when the movie "Gremlins" came out. When I try to explain to my friends that I've had it since I was a child (as opposed to buying it recently) they simply won't believe me. I even show them the number "84" my mother wrote on its tag that year, and they just assume that is how old I will be when I finally outgrow it!

But I will never turn my back on the Giz!!!

The squeaker in his belly still works! How cool is that? But I still have to make sure I don't feed him after midnight though!!!

Lolol @ 13 year old boy calendars. And the idea of adults with little boy calendars on their walls :eek: lool.

I got a 500 count bottle from cvs...not because I pop that many pills by myself (ha), but everyday someone around me seemed to complain about having a headache at work, and no one else carries anything (bunch of guys) so I got the bottle...makes me look like a neurotic nutjob though. You can stop by and grab a handful anytime!

Chrissy, I'm sure you're FAR from boring....everyones got their quirks, lol.

I will alert the cats that are not mine, that they have made a wrong turn and need to head over to your place. Also, I'm sending you a semi-feral cat. He's very friendly, just not sure about the inside yet.
