I used to like to peel sunburned skin or dried glue off my skin when I was a kid. I can't say I've engaged in that since the third grade, though. In fact, I think it's pretty weird. I loooved roller coasters as a kid, now they give me a big headache. I do still like the ones that take you up really, really high... and then drop like 7 stories. Those are fun, AND they don't give me a headache.
I didn't like scary movies as a kid. I like them now. I also thought kissing boys was disgusting, pukey, gross, grody... weird!!! Not anymore. :) I like kisses.
I also thought kissing boys was disgusting, pukey, gross, grody... weird!!!Now that's cute.
I used to like to peel sunburned skin or dried glue off my skin when I was a kid. I can't say I've engaged in that since the third grade, though. In fact, I think it's pretty weird.dried glue could keep me occupied for hours as a kid. i was always disappointed when we had to use the kid glue because it wouldn't dry as nice as the 'strong' glue.
You weren't sniffing the glue, were you?
not intentionally, but i was tempted to eat it.
I used to like to peel sunburned skin or dried glue off my skin when I was a kid. I can't say I've engaged in that since the third grade, though. In fact, I think it's pretty weird.I haven't totally outgrown this. I no longer pour glue in my palm and wait patiently for it to dry so I can peel it. But my daughters glue got clogged last week and I had to pick out the partially dried globs with a nail. They weren't hard yet but more like stretchy. It was extremely satisfying!
My husband has gotten too smart to get sunburned anymore. It's too bad because he has the best peeling skin EVER.

Wine, brussels sprouts, opera..."
Bunny, I love you'r "thens"
Gretchen, I'm with you on the peeling glue off bottles, but I think you have me beat with the sunburn peeling....
I used to like ketchup sandwiches, not so much anymore. Now, I like the tomatoes I wouldn't eat as a kid instead. I didn't like mushrooms, either, but I do now. I claimed to not like zucchini, but I think I just didn't like the name. Now I like it fine, there's not much to it, really.
I still don't like green bell peppers. Bleah.
i used to like to smear rubber cement on the desktop and then roll up rubber boogers to flip on people
I liked to capture my fingerprints on tape, too.
Well, it gets hot early in south Georgia so the teachers left the sliding glass doors to our classrooms open, which let in the horseflies - nasty, biting insects. We would catch them and tie string or a piece of hair around them then let them buzz around us. Sometimes we would pull their heads off so they couldn't bite, but they could still fly. Or we would tie a note to them and send them flying around the class. Great fun then. Now, not so much.
Okay, OKAY!!! I lie. I still like peeling glue AND sunburned skin. I never really outgrew it. I'm just not as open and unaffected about it as I was when I was a kid. Like... I KNOW it's weird, and I still love it.
Sunburned Skin, you obviously didn't suffer the blisters I did growing up. (baby oil/coconut oil were big then, not sunscreen. I still dream of a tan.)
Oh, I did, Gail. But I'm not just referring to my skin. I'd actually sit in front of my grandfather after he'd been working in his garden all day and peel his legs. He seemed concerned that I might only be doing it to be nice, but I really enjoyed doing it! The challenge was to pull off a strip of skin that was bigger than any of the others I'd peeled off. And I get excited when I walk into a bathroom that has a mousse bottle or hairspray bottle that clearly needs to be cleaned of product residue... PEEL!!! OMG! When I was in high school, I'd leave extra on the bottle just so I could peel it later. I've never understood this obsession of mine, but I quit trying to understand it a long time ago.
LOL. Sometimes these things are best left alone. Just enjoy.
Liked liver as a kid (yeah weird kid) don't care for it anymore.Hated rice as a kid; love it now. (found out you could eat it other ways except rice pudding which was the only way mom fixed it...and which I still hate.
Loved roller skating as a kid, but realized falling hurts a lot more once you're older. So I don't hate it so much as I've retired from it.
Wow I can relate to a bunch of this stuffglue peeling
tape fingerprints (we played cops 'n robbers at school)
sunburn skin peeling
don't like
onions
broccoli
Brussels sprouts
vegis in general
etc.
Gum trees are great for a peeling fixation. (Not that I would admit to doing something so immature.) :))
Wow. And all these years, I truly thought I was the only person on the face of the earth who had a peeling fixation (and would admit to it).
Welcome to the peelers club!! My skin never peeled like that even though I got horrible sunburns. I always peeled other people. Like I said my husband is the champion. When we were first dating he used to save it for me. (I mean he wouldn't peel it himself but wait for me to do it. Not save the peeled skin.)
you guys are all official members of the buffalo bill fan club. you can all get together and craft a lampshadedeerskusting
That lampshade thing is familiar. Where does that come from, Kevin?
that was a silence of the lambs reference that didn't work. i do that a lot around here :)
You are wrong. As soon as you said it I thought of silence of the lambs.
thank you gail. i try to do some minor cerebral humor occasionally
and no, i have no prob being wrong. it is a place i am well familiar with
You & me both. (I just pretend it's an international interpretation problem.)

And the Silence of the Lambs reference is could be a reference to Nazi lamps that were made of human skin. The St. Augustine Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Museum has a floor full of graphic items, including shrunken heads and Nazi paraphernalia... including some lamps made of human skin.
I was only 9 years old when we visited, but I still couldn't bring myself to tour that floor. Just the mere concept behind the lamps made me want to vomit. It was too much... too macabre.
actually in the movie buffalo bill....well, it has lost any relevance now
Buffalo Bill made a girlie-suit out of human skin in SOTL. The real life Wisconsin nutjob Ed Gein was the one who made the lampshades et al., and he was in part the inspiration for Buffalo Bill.
mary is correct but that is the reference i was making
Mary, I am interested in the Ed Gein-Wisconsin crazy connection. I have seen SOTL many times and did not know there was a real Buffalo Bill. Makes the movie that much creepier. As always, you are a fountain of knowledge.
I would prefer to forget the Ed Gein-Wisconsin crazy connection.
I didn't like mushrooms as a kid but like them now. I think it's because I equated mushrooms with the canned, slimy kind of mushrooms.
I liked pixie stix but don't like them now. Pixie stix are sugar death.
I didn't like girls then, but I like them now.
