Here's a toilet paper thought - I had a cat who rolled the whole roll out by just pulling with paws on the top. Kids use more also when it rolls over the top because they can put their hand on the top and just let 'er roll out. Since my current cats have shown no interest in the roll and Eeyore lives on the other side of the country, I am safe to have my toilet paper roll once again over the top.

I still make my bed almost every day, just because I was brought up by a schtickler mom who brainwashed and otherwise persuaded me into learning such things. However, I do like the calm feeling it gives being straight and organized.

Pet Peeves and Hates: I read somewhere that a mattress after ten years of use will gather almost ten pounds of skin cells and they will collect at the bottom of the mattress, even through the sheets. Makes me want to put plastic down. The thought of sleeping on a "used" mattress makes me cringe, and almost gag. I bring my OWN pillows to a hotel and always ask for fresh linens before bedding down for the night. I will often bring a blanket and sleep with it over me or under me. Hotel rooms are disgusting. I sat down on a bed in a hotel room right after arriving and the bed spread had a wet spot on it. I flipped out. I replaced a woman at work who was here for 30 years. People think it is funny to call me by her name or ask me if I got the job because I we are related. We are not related and I have me own name, thank you very much. I am angry that October is almost over with and it hasn't rained here yet. I love the smell of wet asphalt. I hate looking at a dog with a docked tail. I don't want to see a dog's a$$hole. I hate it when people say to me "you're starting to look pregnant" It's a polite way to say "you're getting fat" Jerks. When I have a soar throat, I like to drink whiskey, with lemon juice and honey, although now I have a soar throat and I can't and won't drink. I HATE IT when DH flips off other drivers and yells at them from inside our car. They can neither see nor hear him, so I have to hear and see it. I had an ex who did the same thing, and every time DH does it, it reminds me of the ex I loathe. Don't ever buy or use a "used" mattress unless you want to sleep on someone elses skin cells.

I make my bed every day. It cannot have one single wrinkle in it and the lines have to be perfectly straight. I will walk around it as many times as it takes to get the stripes perfect.

Having a neatly made be makes the room look cleaner, and my room often needs all the help it can get.

Escapee, I'm with you on the motel mattresses. The very first thing I do when I check in is remove the bedspread. I fold them and put them in the corner until I leave. I used to work in a motel when I was 16 and they are DISGUSTING, take it from me. Oh, and after I fold them I wash my hands!

I only make my bed on the weekends. It does give a feeling of being organized even if the rest of the house is a tornadic mess. The first thing I do when I move is make the bed. Because I have a feline paper fiend, paper towels are in the cupboard and tp is in the linen cabinet. I do not answer the phone unless I know who's calling. I hated automated phones. Most companies are online now so I only call customer service if I need to speak to a live person. I don't want and should not have to press 20 buttons to get to a live person. I once spent 15 minutes trying to reach someone at ATT because the automation kept going in circles. I never got a live person. If the phone rings after 10:00 pm, it better be an emergency. I would prefer 9:00 pm, but will give a 1-hour grace period. Same goes if the phone rings before 8:00 am, but would prefer 9:00 am. I have actually received solicitation calls that early on Sunday mornings.

I carry baby wipes in my purse and use them: instead of the one-ply toilet paper in public bathrooms, shopping in the meat dept., and to clean the handle off of grocery carts before I touch them. (I got pinkeye soooo many times before I started doing this)

I do have this thing about cleanliness. Whenever, my wife and I or our little girls come in from shopping or school or whatever, we always wash our hands really well with soap and water. Sounds obvious but it’s amazing how few people do that.

I have a few things that I do that other people think are weird. I can not take the cotton out of a pill bottle, if no one is around to do it I will not take the pill even if that means having the worst headache ever. I hate feet, so much so that if you try to touch me with your foot I will freak out and not talk to you. I have to keep my toe nails shorter then the average person, If I feel them on my socks I will go insane. I can't wear nail polish on my toes, I can actually feel it and almost feel like I can't breath. I can wear it on my finger nails but not for very long. I can not stand someone cracking gum...it drives me insane, I will ask you to stop once, then if it happens again I will lose it on you. I don't mean to but I can't help it I cannot stand someone slirping a drink...I work with a guy that does it really loud. I work nights so when I hear him I will turn my radio up really loud.

I love having my feet rubbed, I have a serious foot issue. I like feeling things between my toes and when I am sleeping, sometimes DH insists on putting his arms around me, which I hate, but when I allow it, he has to put is leg forward so I can put my foot behind his and put his achilles tendon between my big toe and the next one. Weird I know. I love toe socks too.

KayKay & Twinkie, re: chubby not preggie... And I haven't any kids... Quite a few years ago I had glass in my toe and was lying in the emergency room cubicle cot with my foot elevated and waggling my toe...(couldn't be more obvious, eh?) The doctor comes in and zeroes in on my tummy and says, 'So when are you due?' Um, not sure who was more embarrassed. Truly I was so mortified, I lost about 20 lbs over the next few months. I think I need to be mortified again, as over the years I've gained that back and then some. Sigh.

Right now, when Travis was maybe 3 or 4 we were at the doctor's office and he went up to a lady and asked her if she had a baby in her stomach. I wanted to crawl under the carpet. I felt better when she told him she did have a baby in there.
