what happens if you answer all of them yes??? It's not for me, but one of my friends... :P

I told my friend he said he thinks he has it under control ;D

I have seen these questions listed beofre, and it is a good way to see if you have a problem...

That said, anyone saying "No" to questions 4, 9 and 14 is lyin' out of his ass... ;D

I agree with you, Mule! Plus if you can't answer "yes" to at least half of those questions, then chances are, you ain't no fun!

Since we are on a self-disclosure kick, I have to admit to 4-8-9-14
