If at any time you think of a purple elephant then you have ___phobia. Self fullfilling suggestion mean to get people to think they have a condition they really don't have.

I watched the 'hole' thing. The photoshopped pictures were weird but none of it was skin crawling bad. The murkiness of the water with the baby frogs bothered me more. I actually like the look of the seed pods.

I did actually get the skin-crawling feeling from it. It took a while for that to go away as well, but that's just me. Maybe a result of seeing really bad bed sores when I was an aide.

I thought maybe this was really just one of those shock vids, or maybe a sneaky test of endurance. (Sit still for 2&1/2 minutes? ME?) I was too engrossed 😉 in the images to get twitchy.

holes don't bother me but surinam toads sure do.

The apple made me hungry and when the chocolate popped up I bugged out and headed for the fridge. Did I miss anything important?
