    I like that brush!!
    It reminds me of those screwdrivers that have many different tips in the handle.

    You have offered a healthy array of opportunities for blushing.
    All of those circumstances I have been in but I can't think of the last time I blushed.

    I am going to guess and say, f and j.

    I make it right in my head.
    I don't lie.  That is flat out wrong and big.
    I fib.  Not to Don but to my parents (Only sometimes. It's for their protection) and customers from time to time...
    And me do something silly or stupid????
    It's been so long I don't even remember....
    Does that qualify as a "fib?"
    I'm not sure....
    ;) :)

    L.  (where do I start)

    A, B, C, D, E, F,G, H, I, and M.

    M - 
    When anyone talks to me.
    When another person's emotions overtake me (empath)
    Memories (random)
    (oh, and my "favorite") - for no reason whatsoever (just out of the blue).

    How would I know if I was blushing? I don't carry a mirror around with me and I wouldn't think of asking anyone: "Hey, am I blushing/"

    It's been a while but I think you can feel it when you blush.

    That’s got to be the silliest notion you’ve ever put forward. So no human being knows, could know, should know, or would know when he or she blushes, is that your position?  Oh, wait, you’ve got people carrying mirrors around with them everywhere they go so that they’re on constant blush-alert, right?

    n.  I don't know.  I do know I have experienced blushing but I have no idea the situation causing it.  I don't think I've blushed lately.
