This song was far too hot - so i decided on a diversion :ROTFL: - the idea came in a certain shop - yes - one of my fave brands... ;) tell me where :D
*******
You wake up and miss me terribly
You wish to grab me immediately
There is no me next to you
What do you have to do?
Of your mind, heart, soul I have taken possession
I’m in your thoughts till you fall into complete obsession
Till your blood is screaming your flesh wants me so bad
You reflections go nuts – I drive you so mad
Chorus
AM I POISON – VENOM – TOXIN – slowly going in
AM I POISON – SNEAKING – not only under your skin
When you see me fm near or fm far you nearly die
Your knees give up, your breath collapses we are “like eye to eye”
On your front you feel pearls your heart leaps out
I want you; every fibre of your body seems to shout
Chorus
AM I POISON – VENOM – TOXIN – slowly going in
AM I POISON – SNEAKING – not only under your skin
Show me how much you feel – drink me, savour me – it is obvious
I know you crave, you want me, and you nearly fall unconscious
Suddenly a voice calls you back;
Sir – it is $4.50 – put it on the counter rack
There I stand – in front of you, black, a dream
Coffee – that was your entire scream
Chorus
AM I POISON – VENOM – TOXIN – slowly going in
AM I POISON – SNEAKING – not only under your skin

Chocolate can affect canines in different ways--from the mildly upsetting to the downright dangerous
By Alison Snyder
A small dog should be belly-up after eating a handful M&M's, at least according to conventional wisdom. But watching "Moose," a friend's five-pound Chihuahua, race around a living room after his sweet snack makes one wonder: Is chocolate truly poisonous to dogs?
Dogs and humans have similar tastes.

Late soul legend James Brown was poisoned by thieves intent on digging up the fortune he’d buried on his South Carolina estate, according to a stunning new expose.
Former business associates and backing singers insist the Godfather Of Soul’s remains should be exhumed for toxicology tests after hearing rumours he was poisoned before his death on Christmas Day 2006.
Their claims have been backed up by Brown’s widow Tomi Rae Hynie, but she refuses to go on record about the crime fearing the thieves will turn on her.

Well, my gluten-free friends..... even though I do my best to read labels, I had a craving for caramels this weekend, and I found a package what I used to enjoy as a little girl:
I bought two packages of these lovely, tasty treats. I ate one package yesterday (5/26), and one package today, as a birthday "treat" for myself.

Amy Winehouse’s hospital dash in July was the result of marijuana poisoning and not a reaction to medication, a British tabloid report has claimed.
The Rehab singer was admitted to a London hospital on July 28th after falling ill at her home.
Her representative subsequently released a statement blaming her condition on an adverse reaction to medication she is taking to help kick her drug addiction - which the star’s father Mitch has also backed.

You know I died over Proenza Schouler's Spring '10. Consequently, anything that even remotely reminds me of it is fair game. This Free People Poison Ivy Tunic Dress ($48, originally $68) is an example of a frock that could totally pass for Proenza if you look at it quickly.
