43, though if I had kids to forget to pick up or had a job to be late to, it would probably be higher ^_^;;

I am too embarassed to post my score - perhaps I should go find an addiction meeitng somewhere.

24... Alot of those I hope will never happen to me. Late for your own wedding... I am sorry for all those that that has happened to you. Cantr will never get between my girlfriend and I... hopefully.

Only 29.

Only 28... I think. May of miscounted.

There should be an addition or alteration, because instead of checking at a friend's house I checked at my ex girlfriend's housed (not the reason we broke up, but she was a little upset that I checked Cantr when I was there instead of doing... other things...)
