    Just remember to roll the raider before going into a dive to get the oil to your head....

    I think pranking your co-workers is both childish and tiresome and leads to a work environment you can never feel safe in... I'm a killjoy and I don't care. I just want to work in peace... (someone just turned 40 here and prank is all they've talked about the last couple of workdays...)

    In regard to people's resent confessions: I've never checked someone's ass out unless they literally had something written on them. My interests of asses are almost non-existent.

    This is a honestly and sincerely confession of me:

    I fear God while I love him as well! I am afraid doing wrong against him while I know he is the most merciful and the highest forgiver. I avoid major sins but am not sure about my minor sins.

    Nonetheless I believe leaving wrong is more reliable than repenting.

    When I imagine God, who is the God of the sun, lions, volcano, thunderbolts, hurricanes and earthquakes I scare him very much!

    So I say to myself, how you dare to do wrong against mighty God, while the ground under your feet is not dependable; while he can calculate all the peoples on the earth preciously and simultaneously?!

    Of course the most of believers like me tend to great mercy and forgiveness of God and this makes them ensure and hopeful but I mostly fear doing the smallest sin.

    Both being hopeful to God and fear of him have a great and permanent reward, but God himself says, hope to me is better than being in (extreme) awe of me. He also says, my mercy is further than my anger(deal with my mercy). But whatever I tried I couldn't follow this recommendation of God and fear of my wrongs yet.

    This was my confession not an induction!

    Confession: I ate two powdered donuts. I don't usually eat donuts. Why did I eat said donuts? Because I'm really wrestling with what to write besides my first ever attempt at an epistolary- and no, I don't care if it's not the technical definition of the genre if it's mostly in diary form, with a few letters addressed to the main character. I'm bored and will try anything to entertain myself, even if I make a non-issue confession.

    I often bite the side of my tongue when a sneeze is particularly forceful. A bitten tongue is a tongue that gets re-bitten until the swelling has a chance to go down. So, I feel this one.

    I sometimes get sneezing attacks. Usually in the shower, and usually once a month. I think my record is 32 times in a row.

    I HATE the hiccups. I remember a story about a person with a medical condition where they couldn't stop hiccupping. Things like this keep me up at night. Needless to say, whenever I get the hiccups, thinking about that story makes it so much worse.

    On sneezing - my brains been slightly "rewired" and now instead of just a tickle in the nose I always feel like throwing up when I need to sneeze. It's not the best experience...

    One winter, at a holiday cabin, I sneezed so hard I put my head through the glass in the back door! We had to put clingwrap over it to keep the cold out. The cabin had leaks and mold, but it looked great, until we moved the couch! We got our money back.

    I really like slightly overdressing. It's fun to have spitshines on when everyone else is wearing down-at-the-heel Jean-Claude Pené loafer-equivalents. Choosing which watch goes with the totality of everything else is a thrill, and I will miss the perfect bus to choose the perfect pocket square.

    I never know when the music in my head will start, gotta be prepared.

    Hi Wreybies and Earp

    Sneeze is a natural reaction of body. It is a biological reaction that is useful(also cough). Releasing it is better than turning it back!

    In the past decades, when someone in Iran sneezed another person said to him " be healthy!" ( nowadays, this traditional expression has been forgotten). Also it was told, if someone sneezes one time, it will be the sign of health, and if sneezes three times one after another, it will be the sign of sickness (cold or influenza).

    However sneeze is a beneficial reaction of body and you should allow it to blow up.

    Based on my scientific feeling, I think, sneeze throws a lot of bacteria out from lungs.

    Not that I'm living in the lap of luxury or anything, but I'd give up all that I have to spend the rest of my life on a beach somewhere.

    Confession time:
    I absolutely hate wearing pants at home.
    I have a no-pants policy when I don't have guests over.
    ...then came winter :(

    So I'm sitting in my own house - all alone - wearing fucking pants!

    ...or trousers, as my beloved would say :dry:

    I don't wear pants at home. But when I go to the shop I do wear pants. Otherwise I look and feel like a sex offender. A man thing/and an over 25s thing. When I was twenty I'd pretty much frame it in TMI delete the buckle

    Matt is thinking of underwear I suspect - what the UK call pants the rest of the world calls panties or shorts

    And where does the UK use of "pants" to mean not good, poor outcome, or nonsense come from? o_O I've known that one for some time, but the origin....

    Well, there it is. My thanks. ;) I do remember hearing it during my short stint in Bedford, and then while watching The Great British Bake Show, a pretty young woman was wont to use it with regularity.
