thats a cool picture to have. do you really think she may have been trying to contain it all. i don't really understand a lot about containment actually i have never heard that until recently here.would love it if you or anyone could explain it further or find a link to about it. to me she looked so disgusted by it all like when she said that i wasn't even able to go to the bathroom.uggg yuck.i have huge shame issues about that uggg. how could she know that so instinctively to say that she seemed so grossed out. such a different reaction than anything else i ever told her.it scares me. i do hope she doesn't see me this way
