That's great, but you'll have to the hide the tissues or pretend you've caught a cold.

Candy is also a slang word though for certain illicit substances isn't it? Gives a whole different meaning to The Candy Man and the lyrics. This is on topic too for the 7% solution.
Didn't Heath Ledger star in a movie called Candy? He and the GF were druggies. It was a real hard movie to watch. I have no idea if that slang word for cocaine or whatever it was is a thing of the past or what. Blessedly, I don't travel in such circles, so I don't know.
It can be a slang for any kind of drug; cocaine is sometimes referred to as "nose candy." At the hospital, we have a pharmacist we call "The Candy Man.
I rarely use this slang. I prefer the proper meaning of candy. Mmmmm...candy...

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
...when your husband comes home and finds you watching TRF again; and when he asks how often you've seen it, you don't remember and you answer: "Not often enough"
And then you are afraid he might call the doctor, but all he answers is: "Fine, because I'd like to watch it together with you next weekend."
You're so lucky. My husband is not a fan. And I'd rather not have him watch with me, than be worrying about what he thinks the whole time the show is running, when I'd rather just be ogling.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
My husband brought it up! He found it on an webpage of a magazine he checks regularly.
Sherlock got good critics there so he suggested to watch it when it first was on German tv.
If I remember right it was late then and I usually fell asleep in the middle of the show. 
When we noticed it's really brilliant it was over - and we had missed half of the episodes, too.
So I bought the DVDs. And we watched it all over again and with ! original voices !. Well, and the rest you all know.... 
It is just perfect for both of us. When I keep saying: "Wow, this show is brilliant!", he keeps answering: "Remember who suggested it!"
When he asks me: "Sherlock AGAIN?" I keep answering:"Don't blame ME, you suggested it!"

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Lucky girl, Mattlocked - really!
I'm sometimes sooo fed up with not being understood. There are no people around me who share my love for this show - I don't know anyone in real life who's like me... 
- ok, except my kids - but they study elsewhere.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Yes, it can be quite frustrating. My family likes Sherlock - up to a certain point. But they're far from being obsessed. So I'm always happy to meet you all who are just as crazy as I am.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Thinking of hubby and Sherlock I would not talk about ( of ?) "obsessed". And I am not sure if he really understands. Maybe better not. But I don't understand some of his obsessions, either, so...
Live and let live.

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
I told my husband I'm writing a Johnlock story and I need to use him as research for the kissing scenes (maybe more if he's really good 
) I told him I need to be able to describe each maneuver with total accuracy. Where he was tolerant of my obsession before, he's suddenly quite intrigued, now that there might be benefits........ 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I said "dangerous" and here you are.
You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

He'll probably say he needs extra practice. You know. Just to get it right!

Re: You know you're obsessed with Sherlock when...
Once again the word "cumbersome" popped up in my translation. I just love the first half of it.

And I found the "batch" on the pen I bought recently in the English Shop.
