What would I do without you???

I owe everyone an apology.  I truly wish that I'd looked up the word 'cootie' BEFORE I started calling everyone my 'cootie pals'.. I doubt seriously that anyone here has 'body louse'. Not that it's any of my business if you do.  I'm sooo sorry, I just thought it meant 'germs', or some made up illness that little kids said that someone had.  "Don't sit next to her, she has cooties"... WRONG WRONG WRONG.  Please accept my most humble apologies.  BTW, ther are no bugs on me either.  

Thank you for not mentioning that I was being terribly insulting, It wasn't meant that way at all.  Sometimes I'm just trying to be a little too cutsy.  

Thanks you for being sooo understanding.  I'm a hepper, you're a hepper............., wouldn't ya hate to be a hepper too?  

Many many hugs to all, HMFIS, (Hiding my face in shame).... Ant B

Yeah right, is correct, I'm thinking of picking a fight, so someone will knock me out.  At least I never went cow tipping. Who'd wanna do that when it involves, walking around in a dark paddy? Patty?  Don't get me started, I get the biggest thrill from picking on anybody, (As long as they never know they're being picked on, or at, or???).  Sleepy Hug, Ant B

Never even saw it! But I'd consider the critters cooties!! I sure am hoping I don't have anymore cooties now :)

Scratchin....you will be pushing a baby carriage around for the rest of your life and the only time you will be able to have fun is when they let you go bowling once a week....

LOL! Sounds like your going bowling and I'd guess you liked those 'cooties' in school!

Hi there Mikkimoe,  I havn't heard of anyone being offended by my calling them my 'cootie pals'.  However, Desrt, said that there were those who took offense at being called a 'hepper', (but not from here, fortunately).  I personally prefer 'hepper' to 'heffer', but that's just cause I've gained some substantial wt. (here of late).  Cootie Hugs, back, (but more of it), Ant B

OMG - I remeber that Cootie game or was that Mr. potatoe head. Guess that would be a good hepper game too huh...as our heads feel like that on tx (OK pretty bad when I have to explain myself)

Anyway - I totally was not offended...but wonder who was?

Cootie Hugs to ya.....

Dsrt, you say 'don't sweat the small stuff', but, I literally sweat ALL THE STUFF, then my clothes are wet, and I get chills, then,  I have to change.  Next time I change, I'm considering butterfly, (Ants & bees sweat too much!!)     :))  
Scratch.. Sweetie, what, pray tell, do you find the least bit 'desireable' about HCV.  Oh, never mind, (that it isn't HIV, of course). I just tell the health care folks, to go put on their Haz Mat Suit, 'cause my blood is like 'toxic waste'. That usually clears up any misunderstandings. LTIF, Hugs to you two too, Ant B

I am very careful that I tell health professionals that I have "hepatitis C". If you say "HCV" they can mistake that for "HIV", which isn't as desireable a desease as what we have. heh

Fortunately no one here takes offense to the term hepper (rhymes with leper). I kid you not, there are those who do. Honestly, who cares? Don't sweat the small stuff.

Seriously.

Heh heh I was wondering what you meant by cootie..

I thought it may have been some new saying I wasn't aware of?
I didn't want to ask ......I think I may have had some of those too? lol
I think as a kid I may have gotten some from my sister...they would sit there for hours with a fine tooth comb looking for cooties heh heh.... funny stuff
You couldn't grow up in Brooklyn and not have had them. I'm starting to itch writing about them

The nice thing about being human is ,..We make mistakes,.. no biggie


All the best
Rangle thanks again

I remember a cootie game that consisted of  bright plasic bug torsos and you put the legs and on separately.
And as a kid telling someone they had cooties was like saying they were icky.
Thanks for the memories!

And if they get near you they will try to kiss you and they will get pregnant and then you have to marry them and you will be pushing a baby carriage around for the rest of your life and the only time you will be able to have fun is when they let you go bowling once a week

Hmph.  I had no idea we were being insulted until you gave the definition of cootie.  Now I'm very offended.  I think you should go on your knees, on some peas, in the corner, pray.  And send us all $500 to offset the trauma you've inflicted here. That mouth of yours ain't fit for eatin'.  


No biggie, sweetie.  Really.  But thanks for caring.

I don't think anyone took it that way. Sometimes things mean something different than the actual definition. It is usually used to mean "germs" like you said.
No big deal.
