Starsesses causing brain absesses (holes where important things fall through) ? ! The power of those 4 words 'forgot her daughter's birthday' overwhelmed me. Excellent strength in your sentence ... and your verboticism! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-15: 11:25:00

Glad I read your comment to Tigger before commenting. GMTA ... great minds think alike! So when two of you independently came up with the same verboticism ... it must be doubly good! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-15: 20:57:00

That happens frequently around here, dalmero8. Don't sweat it... Say, wouldn't it be simple to just keep track of the celebrities that aren't in rehab? - Tigger, 2008-02-15: 21:57:00

I like it!! Sounds a lot like my own obsessceleb. - Mustang, 2008-02-15: 22:53:00

Good word! - Stevenson0, 2008-02-16: 15:01:00
