I hate jello, I don't think it was meant as a food. I don't eat raw mushrooms cause they make my teeth squeak. I don't like the feeling of cooked spinach in my mouth. I don't like crackers in my soup, I dip them and pull them out with a spoon before they get soggy. I also have personal space issues and I don't want others in mine. SO my nephews invade mine to pick on me. lol. I talk to myself in the bathroom and answers sometimes. I am sure there is more.

Saxy, I think my expiry date obsession began when I accidentally drank a big swig of spoiled milk. YUCK! I vowed I would never have that experience again!

My old roomie confessed to me once that when h plucked his nose hairs that poked out, he would actually pluck them slowly, so that it made him tear up. He tried to make it as painful as possible, to induce a sneeze. He knew he was weird. And he admitted he kinda looked forward to it. I used to soup up my ice cream when I was little. Not anymore though, as I will always eat it out of the container. I try to eat as many foods out of the container as possible, so as to make fewer dirty dishes. I never do my dishes. Maybe once a week? They are all rinsed, and sitting in the sink. <I know some of you just shuddered reading that...>

Well apparently I talk to the copiers at work. This was not something I had ever noticed myself doing, however, as I was fixing a copier yesterday one of the teachers was showing a new employee around. She said, "and this is Jackie, she's the one you go to when you have a problem with the copier. You'll usually see her talking to them, but it's ok because they seem to listen to her."

Everyone remarks about how polite my DH is. He always opens doors for me. Actually he does it to keep from being embarrassed . I have a phobia about touching door handles and if he doesn't open it I pull out my shirt tail and use it to open the door. I usually wear a sweater with long sleeves so I can pull them over my hands to beable to touch stair railings, shopping carts etc. Bathrooms get a little tricky sometimes...

Eeyore, it's odd, I don't feel a thing when I pull them out. If I did, I wouldn't do it! I'm a wimp! Course I probably have no feeling left in either nostril anymore from those multiple cauterizations. Jmm, that is a darling story! Love it! Supergranny, you could begin new trend and start wearing cotton gloves and Depends! Heheheheh!

Ok we did this growing up and I still like to every once in a while. Since we all (except hubby) sleep with our eyes open, it's hard to sneak around and scare people without getting caught. (I see DH get up to pee at night and it instantly wakes me up). However, if you sneak up BEHIND someone sleeping and slowly wiggle your fingers in front of their face, it looks like a spider walking across their eyes. Scares the poop outta 'em every time! Weird or mean? lol

Hussy - you are brave to eat soup straight; there is NO WAY I could ever eat soup without crackers unless it is Chunky Soup. I think I just don't like all the juice in soup, so I need to sop it up with the crackers. Also, jello is not a food; apparently it is a wonderful cat toy. My fat cat Shadoe loves to have a chunk of it to swat around and lick and even hook with her nails and toss in the air. I must pick ALL mushrooms out of my food; they have no taste, so I refuse to eat them. Jmm - I only mumble hateful things at the copier. I make threats to power it off/on and chide it for flashing misleading messages in the window. Now my computer at work is a whole area where I scream at it and either hit the side of the monitor or just outright shake it with both hands. I swear I hear it chuckling at me like that dog on the cartoons who would do sneaky stuff and chuckle. When Eeyore was little, it was a very major deal to get her to eat ANYTHING! She hated food and picked if I was lucky. Being Ukrainian, it is unacceptable for a child to NOT eat. You get pretty inventive and lenient when you are trying to get kids to eat. The doctor said no need for concern - just let her eat whatever she wants and however she wants. I know see the results of that approach.

I'm late joining the party. I absolutely love to drink milk and juice straight from the carton. When I eat my Oreos, I always eat 2 at a time. I twist the top off each, leaving the cream on the bottom, and eat the tops. Then I squoosh the bottoms together to give myself a double stuff Oreo. I even do this with the Double Stuff Oreos and make them double double stuff. I rarely make my bed. You can call this sloth. I call it practicality. I'm just getting back into it that night so what's the point?

Thank you Colossus, and it's good to see you posting too!! (P.S. I ran outta light bulbs the other day and actually said to myself "Never woulda happened at Colossus' house!)" My weirdness for the day: I ALWAYS check inside my shoes before I put them on. I think there might be spiders in them. I've never actually found a spider in my shoes...but ya never know, right?

BigC, I'm like that with Underworld. It's an obsession. I always put my curling irons in the same positions. Flat iron on the left, small iron on the right.

you mean there is actually a way to fold a fitted sheet? you learn something new everyday i guess. i'm with you, goddess, on the melted butter thing. won't eat toast if the butter isn't all the way melted. in fact, i will take the bread out of the toaster oven and spread the butter around on the bread as it melts and then stick it back in to finish toasting and melting. i like warm crumbled corn bread in a glass of milk after supper as a dessert. i have to have the mayo, ketchup and/or mustard on both pieces of bread of a sandwich or hamburger. the same with oil & vinegar on a deli sandwich. don't like dry bread. i don't like anyone to drink after me - it's a possessive thing not a germ thing. but, you can steel things off my plate with no problem. i turn off the lights as i leave a room. i try to take something with me that needs to be put away as i go from one room to another to say the steps.

I am 31 years old and must sleep with (not in) silk jammies as it is a security left over from being a young child. I have to rub it together and it's the most comforting and relaxing thing to me. There are 2 - 3 sets in bed with me at all times just in case I misplace one in the middle of the night. There is always PJ bottoms on my couch for when I may sit to watch TV. I used to feel embarrassment about this when people would sit on my couch and say "oh you left a piece of laundry here." Now I just simply don't care because it's so comforting to me. (My son seems to have picked up this habit as well) BTW whenever I see a piece of silk I have to rub it. A tag sticking out, blanket, shopping,.....anywhere!

I don't like oatmeal without little balls of bread in it. I take a slice of bread and break off small hunks and roll them and squeeze them into tight little balls and drop them in the oatmeal then I add a pat of butter, sugar, and evaporated milk. Yummmmm!

I always sleep with my ceiling fan on too. I never knew there was a real way to fold a fitted sheet. I usually get frustrated, say *bleep* it and wad it up and toss it in the closet. Escapee: back of hands too???

Yep, stems back to fourth grade. I shaved all the hair off my arms in fourth grade. Why, I don't know. But when it started to grow back, the hair on my arms grew back blond, but my hand hair grew in black, coarse and in every which way. So, I continued to shave the hair off the back of my hands, keeps em smooth when DH holds em and I get a lot of compiments on how "young" my hands look, believe it or not. My hands are pudgy and I have short fingers, even though I am 5'9, and when I am not pregnant, I weigh 150 lbs. (which is a lot to me, but hey.) -I can't stand DH touching my bare stomach with his hands.

Although I admire all kinds of jewelry, I wear very little. I simply can't stand to feel encumbered by it. Rings are my biggest irritation; I rarely wear my wedding ring because it drives me crazy. I also dislike wearing a watch or bracelets. I do wear earrings when I go out, but I remove them as soon as I get back home. (Necklaces bother me the least, though, ~RG~!)
