Moral: I should have said what I DO like.

Yikes.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It sounds like he heard it as "Well, I really like this stuff, but I can't admit I like it because that sounds greedy, so I'll say I don't like it." Or all the specifics got caught in the doggie portion of the brain and he forgot the negative words.

Yep. That's the point. I should have used the words that indicated what I really DO want. He might have had a chance to succeed.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Um, that's an ugly hoodie.
I came back for my hi(s) (how does one pluralize hi?) and squishes! Squishing back! Hi back!
I love jewelry and don't wear it much, but yesterday I wore my bunny necklace Katie made me. Reminded me why I don't wear jewelry much. Kara kept grabbing at it and asking why it wasn't hers.

Some neurolingists say exactly this...that the brain doesn't hear the 'not' words.

That reminds me of a conversation I had with my dad a few weeks ago, when I was visiting. Dad: "I'm going to the grocery store -- do you need anything?" Me: "Yeah, rice milk. They only carry one brand, and I want the one that says 'Original' or 'Plain' or something like that -- it's the one that doesn't say 'Vanilla.' Got that?" Dad: "Right. Vanilla."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My In-Laws gave me this: [link] for Xmas, despite the fact that I have never worn a watch in the 18 years they have known me, I hate fake diamonds and have tiny hands, so the face is as big as my arm. Blue plastic and glitz, it's so me.

Okay, I was prepared to like that watch based on your description (except the diamonds, which I don't actually like, real or not) and it's fugly.
basking in the squishes
I'm waiting for someone to get home and check their front door for a package. The wait is driving me batty. What if they don't go home? What if the package isn't there? What if they don't like what's in it?
I'm basking in squishes on tenterhooks. Weird.
