If you keep'emm on during sex and your partner has a foot fetish, you might have a problem. .......otherwise, don't worry 'bout it.

someone who knows whereof he speaks?  :naughty:
I don't think it is so much the socks -- it the man garters.

It is a COMPLETE flip-flop from the rest of my life....I now cannot abide being barefooted.  I have to have socks or something on my feet at all times (except in bed and in the shower).

This is after a lifetime of being barefoot as much as possible.  I once went all summer without putting on a shoe.

Should I write Dear Abby?  Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing?  I take socks into the shower room along with my towel so I can put them on immediately after drying.  Have I gone mad? 

Nah...you'll be fine.

 :loser:

I feel better now. 

Isn't it good to know you have a place to go where your very real problems are examined and given serious consideration by people who care about you?

As long as there is nippleedge, does it matter?

I will probably not watch a minute of the olympics this year.  There is just nothing and no one that interest me.

Shade, I didn't see the swimmers but I did she the Chinese and U.S. gymnasts. They creep me out. They are so tiny yet nothing but muscle. They don't look very powerful but I think they could hurt me.  :lmao:

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Seriously... you are fine. It's just a sensory thingie.  :-)

So you don't think it qualifies me for handicapped parking?

In Texas, it just might. Seems to me, as a people watcher, that the majority of people that have handicapped placards are either extremely overweight or just old. More than 50% of the people I've observed have no apparent physical handicap. Oklahoma seems to be even more liberal at handing them out.  [/rant]

I actually developed a sort of eating disorder  (read no further if you are squeamish, it is kinda gross) about 2 years ago.

When I eat a hamburger/cheeseburger or other sandwich type item, about halfway through I become aware of my masticating and basically throw up.  I actually gave them up a while ago for that reason.  I seem to be OK with tacos and even pasta, but the bread in sandwiches makes me sick (but again, bot right away).

When I see burgers on TV, I crave them so it isn't that.

I don't understand, but every now and then I try again -- I have learned to know when I am about to get sick and can stop and just eat the rest without the bun.

Weird, huh?  I thought a part of your brain is supposed to shut off when you eat, else you would never be able to chew anything.

So a new paranoia about barefoot isn't surprising.


That almost sounds like a gluten allergy! Except you can eat pasta?

I don't know how anyone can think feet are sex-worthy.  They are ugly and strictly utilitarian in nature.  They are also communistic.  They require half the nerves and bones in the body to function but yet they are good for one thing only. 

I have a similar view of feet. I'm OCD about peeps shoes in my house. It really grosses me out that shoes have stepped in a public bathroom and now are stepping all over my carpet. *shudder*

Probably just a phase, Undies. I go through some with different things. Some nights I can't fall asleep without the tv on for a couple of months and then I can't fall asleep unless the fan is going and the tv is off. I think Schade is right, it's a temporary sensory anomoly.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one grossed out by bread.

*hides*

I can eat the whole grain stuff with seeds and oats on it, but the regular white bread...ick...I remove it or only use half the bun if I'm having a hot dog or hamburger in those instances.

You really should start painting them all the same color.  The "rainbow effect" needs to go.
