      <description><![CDATA[Okay - here's my Christmas confession.  Sometimes I put a fresh Kleenex under my pillow before bedtime so I don't have to get out of bed if I wake up sneezing.<br /><br />Used condoms.  Now they're really disgusting.  I mean, even phlegm can be dressed up with cutesy faces like the characters in the Mucinex commercials, but there's no way you can do anything to dress up a used condom.  You know how on Mission Impossible the tape would self-destruct seconds after use...that's an idea.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I guess I'm disgusting also. I have clean tissue in my pockets all the time. Especially since I've been sick and this is the cold season. I like having it around so I don't have to wipe my nose on my hand or something. lol. Who knew tissue was so gross]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Really?  I find hankerchiefs very disgusting, unless they're just for decorative purposes, like in a suit jacket pocket.  At least a tissue gets used once or twice and tossed.  If I blow my nose I might put it back in my jeans pocket or even my pocketbook until I find a trash receptacle.  So I guess I'm disgusting.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I put a couple tissues in my pocket before I go out for a walk because I get a snotty nose easily, especially in the winter.  If I have a used one I'll throw it in the trash as I walk into the store to get my lottery ticket or wherever I walked to, but there's no place to throw anything away on the way home.  So it gets stuffed back into my pocket and sometimes forgotten and washed.<br /><br />I'm with TSC on lottery tickets.  They never get stuffed anywhere.  I put them in my wallet and when I get ho...

      <description><![CDATA[Larry, I agree with both of your paragraphs, but Florida has a very high amount of tickets that are unclaimed.  One reason is that we have so many tourists that probably throw them in their suitcases as souvenirs.  However, take a look at the average age of the people who win here if you get a chance.  Many winners are over 80.  I have a friend who is 85 who buys tickets and puts them in her sewing basket.  She is very forgetful.  I doubt if she tells her family she even buys them, since they do...

      <description><![CDATA[The odds that so many people won a jackpot and died before they could claim is too high to go with that theory. It would be like, someone won, and died within a few days of winning, and nobody thought about checking the ticket.. multiply by several times. Or they waited 5 months and they were going to claim just before the deadline but then they died? Most winners claim within a week so the odds someone dying in that short a time frame is very rare.<br /><br />What happens is people play piles of ticket...

It doesn't affect my life, but to imagine I've been playing every week for many years and finally someone hits the Lotto and loses the ticket or forgets about it...it's too mind-boggling to process.  I know another explanation could be that the player got sick or died.  That is why I tell people to keep their tickets in a particular place (not the pocket...
