..... you have a conversation with someone. You're surprised at how well it's going until you get home and start to worry about what you said.  :o

....... your heart rate jumps more at the thought of "did I shut the front door" than it does when seeing a a pretty girl.

.......It takes you 40 minutes to reply to an email. 10 minutes to write it and 20 minutes to edit it and 10 minutes deciding it's ready to send.  :D
