OT - Secret Addictions?

[hitchinmygetalong]

Anyone else ready to 'fess up?

This BB and of course my horse, Bud!

But I think my husband is on to the latter addiction. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Of course since I got another horse who had to be completely outfitted, I have been cured of this. /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Plain grilled chicken breast that I dip in Frank's Red Hot sauce. I eat at least 2 or three a day!

*Go Bruins*

[Dementia 13]

Fashion magazines.

Chex Mix and Coke. (Also not a secret... ask anyone at the Chronicle office. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif )

[msj]

That's for starters.

My biggest down fall. No matter where I go to I always have to check the phone book for local tack shops. My husband is always saying "it is the same stuff you have at home", little does he realise. I always have my credit card with me for the just gotta have item.

This is a symptom of an iron deficiency! I had the same "problem" - to the point I was driving my family nuts. I was also eating a bag of microwave popcorn every night along with a glass of ice cubes. I heard on the radio that eating ice was symptomatic of iron deficiency. I thought, "What the heck, let's experiment." Started taking vitamins w/iron and believe it or not, the craving completely disappeared - almost instantly. My teeth are very happy now. So is my family!

Tall Riding boots. (I can't even tell you how many pairs I already own, but one of the *best* parts of getting my colors, was getting new boots - yes, I could have put tops on any of a dozen pairs I already have, but...but......Oh, and I MUST have brown field boots too....

Receiving *every* tack catalog out there and knowing who has what. (and okay, ordering way more then I need)

Email, but perhaps that's not so secret.

Sushi and chocolate... When I went to a new orthopedic surgeon last month I knew he was perfect because when I found his office it happened to be right across the street from a sushi place I used to frequent when I lived in civilization. Now, when is that next appointment...?

[Dragoon]

It's all about the white rice...cooked with cheese and butter.....SO GOOD!! (I think I want some now before Lexi gets here /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif ).

[Quinn]

Coronation Street, this BB, ebay (unbelievable deals), paddock boots (9 pair) breeches & show shirts & show jackets and I don't ride particularly well - now that's a slap in the face.

Bath tub soaks instead of showers.

Ditto on the ice cube symptom. Look at iron supplimentation.

[Snidgie5]

Hey, don't you all know what they say about people who chew ice?? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif. Sorry, but it IS off topic day.
My addictions really aren't so secret. I have a weird obsession with shoes and belts. I don't even know how many I own of either. When people tell me they only have one belt or worse even, no belts, I pity them. I actually feel sorry for these people. And yet, they don't seem to mind. Very strange if you ask me.

[dmj]

What do they say - something besides the anemia thing?

It is kinda odd that a bunch of us mentioned that we do it! I like mine straight outta the tray! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

*Go Bruins*

[Kahuna]

Thanks for reminding me about belts! How could I forget? I have a HUGE belt collection, 20 of which are needlepoint.

I fear I am also becoming addicted to bit buying. I've purchased 6 (for one horse!) since June. /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[HN73]

I'm addicted to

The clearance rack....I rarely buy something if its not on sale. I will buy things because they ARE on sale.

This BB...almost to the point its sick.

Another ebay-er here. (I just got brown field boots!)

Hot sauce.....goes on about 75%-80% of what I eat.

[hitchinmygetalong]

Is that they are um - frustrated (for you-know-what). I can say this was NOT the case with me. So there.

"The simple truth is never simple and rarely true."

[InWhyCee]

Sambuca and diet Coke on ice, Camel Lights, InStalker magazine, Cheet-os (crunchy only), the COTH boards (duh!), Latin men, Cool Ranch-flavored anything, boys who don't speak much English... none of these things are good for me, probably...

[Tricia Booker]

What do you mean no sushi on the barge??? I wrote down my preferences for food... Hmmm. I guess I might have to smuggle a fishing pole aboard. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Wow, I thought having five needlepoint belts was excessive! Maybe I won't feel so guilty about completing that sixth one...

[Tin]

they say that about label peelers too

I'm bringing two belts to work on so if you're really bored........you're hired! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Tricia Booker]

I'd be thrilled to explore the Paris sushi scene with you /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Who needs all that fancy French "coozene" and old grape juice. Just give me raw fish and good beer /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Shopping and Britney Spears! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[hitchinmygetalong]

Okay, this is how this works. Popcorn (a "white" starchy vegetable) actually pulls iron from your system, and as mentioned earlier on the thread, eating ice cubes is a symptom of an iron deficiency. See the connection? Now, I am HOPING there are some nutritionists out there who can refute this theory, but I trust the source who explained this to me.

Try an iron supplement, see what happens!

This BB (ever since college put me into permanent horse withdrawl, proof of my horse addiction- plus it's great for procrastination)

[Nylar]

-Pepsi Twist
-lemonade of any variety, but preferably Snapple
-Tootsie Roll Pops
-any show that comes on the WB

Gotta bump this one with a very recent (tonight) observation.

I apparently have a shoe/clothing fetish that I was not aware of.

I had to go buy some more under-bed storage containers today, thinking that my lack of storage space was just due to disorganization. Uhhh, nope.

At last count, I had over *thirty* tank tops, at least *twenty-seven* sweatshirts, and *nine* pairs of flip flops! This does not include the numerous sweaters I own (do I have to mention that it does NOT get cold here?), the seriously large amount of horsey clothing (you know, horse goober T-shirts and smelly jeans), dresses/skirts, pairs of "nice" pants, boxers, Victoria's Secret panties (I go through a VS spree about once every two months, who can pass up a 5/$20 deal?), and shoes... I have shoes I never even WEAR! but cannot make myself get rid of.

I guess I should also mention that I have *four* "under the bed" storage containers stacked in my closet for shoes and misc. junk that has no place to go.

I've had to get a laundry basket to hold my horsey clothing because there's no place for it to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear, this week... I'm cleaning out my closet. This is insane!!!!!! Except some clothings lots on Ebay or E-mail me if you want some cheap sweatshirts. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[hifi]

shoes, I am addicted to buying shoes and riding shirts, which I have mostly licked now it is riding coats which are even worse and bridles. It used to be pads, although come to think uf it I have bought 2 in the last two days, oh and embrodery, yikes I might have to examine this!

If you can't beat 'em, try harder. And God Bless America my home sweet home!

[ImpsDelight]

Oh, boy, recent addictions include:

Frozen cokes from Burger King
Snickers Crunchers
BBC News
The Daily Show/Letterman/Conan
Coffee
Hot buttered rums (so warm, so goood!)
Ariats as regular shoes
Hats
Hand lotion
Thrift stores (ya' just never know)

and ice chewing /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[Merry]

This is probably more than any of you want to know about me, but I feel I have an addiction to:
- cute socks
- earrings (I had extra holes punched in my earlobes just to accomodate them)
- Coca Cola (A bottle of Coke and a cookie: Breakfast of Champions!)
- coats, sweaters and sweatshirts
- gardening (It comes and goes. At any given time I go on a binge and plant dozens of bulbs and seeds. I figure in about sixty days I'll be swimming in daffodils)
- Cauliflower in cheese sauce
- Home made guacamole /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Thanks for the info, Ann... if I ever decide to stalk the divine Mr. Roth, I'll know where to find him... BTW, do you know there whereabouts of Ewan McGregor?

Other fetishes... How could I forget GLOVES? Leather riding, suede, calf, evening, opera, crocheted, cashmere, SSGs... I have them all. And whips... for someone who no longer owns, I have an inordinate number of whips, including an eight-foot Hungarian "ladies bullwhip" ("ladies" because it has yellow leather flowers on the handle!)

complicated. I suppose
that's why I prefer

Well, I don't have many SECRET addictions, most are pretty obvious (horses, the COTH BB, etc)...

Thoroughbred racing /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif (well, my secret kinda got out when I taped the Breeders' Cup and spent approx. three hours drooling over gorgeous racehorses and cheering my favorites on to the finish in front of my family members)
Horses with French names (don't ask)
Doberman Pinschers /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif (DON'T TELL ANYONE!!!)
Good-looking riders who ride well /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif (SHHHHHHHHH!!! I'd be teased more about this than the above)
Not really an addiction, but for some odd reason, I have fun peeling potatoes with a carrot peeler. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Well, that's about it for SECRET stuff (which really aren't secret anymore)!

I have a serious addiction to buying flip flops - I cant help it, it cant be healthy.. Then I have this nasty habit of losing them, ugh.. also, this is so weird - I am obsessed with white shirts.. weird? I think so.. white collared shirts, tank tops, sweaters - its become so bad that I have to take my friend with me so she doesnt let me buy them!! also, belts, but not plain black and brown ones, oh no, ones with tropical fish and alligators and lobsters and red chili peppers and grateful dead bears and I can go on! I am such a dork with my obsessions! lets see what else, OH jeans!! and especially since I finally found jeans with a *35 inch* inseam from Jcrew, I am in LOVE!! Also, I am totally smitten by the horses out where I ride, especially Delighted's bad boys! Hm ginger ale, saltines, wheat thins, chicken salad yumm - yogurt, cookie dough - this BB, my music!! Counting Crows, LIVE (mmm curly haired Ed) and I watch ER, Will and Grace, and The X Files religiously.. hmm I guess none of this is secret to those who know me! I am also shamlessly addicted to chapstick/lip gloss of any kind.. I own like 40 tubes, and when I get sick of one I go buy more! also I am addicted to shampoos, the better smelling the more likely it is I will buy it - my shower is like a huge collection of shampoo bottles and body washes and face washes -can you be nasally fixated? /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I think i may be! hmm anyway thats all I am willing to admit to, Im sure there are more but I have way too much homework.. also, a new 6'1" dark funny obsession I have now too!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Checkers324]

Oh, forgot a few: Candy corn (but only the orange-and-yellow kind); analyzing horse gaits and rhythm; and DEEP debates... "Deep" as in rollkur, not deeply spiritual, though rollkur debates can get like that too...

Okay, these are just the addictions that no one really knows about (though y'all know now)... I have a much longer list of all other addictions!
