ROFL!!! Actually, the suppositories are from when I had my wisdom teeth taken out (all 4 of em). I swallowed so much blood that I was vomiting almost non-stop (literally every 5 minutes or less). And me being the goober, and cheap goober at that, I've kept them in case we need them. BOY! I never thought I'd say something like that "in public." So, PLEASE.... Leave me a comment and tell me the WEIRDEST, MOST OFF THE WALL thing in YOUR fridge. Now that I've spilled my guts, well, almost literally, about mine. *blush*

I believe in love I believe in Santa Clause I believe that anyone can prevail That white clothes are made for chocolate handprints That a freshly cleaned floor is a magnet for muddy boots That the world would be a better place if we still knew our neighbors That coffee is never good black I believe in prayer That the Holy Bible is the Word of God The the gov't is corrupt That a hardship shared is halved That if something or someone is important, that no matter how many times you let them go, they'll come back And I believe in God....
