that's what i love about this thread! we all are so different in our likes and dislikes. at least we are kind enough to discuss our differences and not attack each other as i have seen on boards that i used to go to.

I'm not about to tell some of these kids no. Call me chicken, but I would rather give a treat than chance a trick some (I'm not saying all) of these kids might come up with.

And I live on the corner of a main street in the middle of town where a drive-by of any kind would be quite easy.

A new pet peeve: Loud, obnoxious, really really foul-mouthed teenage girls on the train.

I just don't get groups of folks walking along a sidewalk that refuse to move to one side or part for other folks coming from the opposite direction to pass. the sidewalk is just like a street - in the US stay to the right side.

i also get upset when vehicles stop for traffic signals in the crosswalk. i usually walk up to the side of the vehicle and stare at the driver. some back up (if they are able) and some ignore me.

i refuse to turn right on red is there is a sign that says 'no turn on red' no matter how many times the vehicle behind me honks. i will not break the law because someone else is impatient.

It bothers me when people won't turn right on (legal) red, when other cars are turning into the two-lane street. You are always supposed to turn into the CURB lane, from the curb lane, so it's not like people doing left turns coming from the other side should be hitting you. They should be going from the middle lane to the middle lane.

I always wonder why people are so chicken to turn.

Yes, girls with potty mouths are pathetic. If only people realized they aren't bringing any new meaning to their message by swearing.

Something said firmly and only said once will hold more meaning and teach people to listen to you the first time.

I'll admit it.

I'm a girl, and sometimes I swear.

And I don't really care which way the tp sits on the roll.

LOL Yank. The occasional swear word is fine. Every third word being a swear word weakens what you have to say.

I don't think you're a big swearer Yank.

When my DD said Ah Screw It, they other day, as one of her new choice phrases aside from "dammit" and SOB, I realized that maybe I swear a bit too often. I do when I am frustrated, that's for sure, which is often now being 6+ months along, with a two year old, and working full time, you can imagine I am sure.

So when she would do it, I'd say "good girls don't say bad words" and now if I say it, she says "good girls don't say bad words mama," And I apologize, and we are going to start a cuss Jar, because DH needs a bidet for his mouth.

"Every third word being a swear word weakens what you have to say."

Try every other word and sometimes consecutively. And it was obvious these girls were performing.

...And here's another delightful (?) quirk of mine: I keep continuously topping up my bowl when when I have cold cereal. So if I run out of milk in my bowl I add more, if I run out of cereal I add more, this goes on til I've eaten at least 3 bowls of the stuff! (Burp!) Cuz I like to finish BOTH my cereal and milk at the same time!!! LOL. And I am LACTOSE INTOLERANT! Duh!

Oh and don't get me started on the topic of swearing... I may be the most ladylike person on the planet... who swears like a longshoreman!

I have dreams a LOT where I am in an emergency situation and I can't dial the phone correctly. Last night I dreamt that someone was trying to break into my home, and I was trying to dial 911, but instead kept dialing 822.

actually those are very common dreams. they are manefestations of you feeling inadequate in a task either that has happened in the past or will be happening in the future. we judge ourselves so harshly.

landi, i like the way you skirted around the word 'failure'. lol i always assumed these dreams meant that i felt as though i were stuck and not going anywhere.

I put jalepeno slices on my tortilla chips....I like to eat them that way.

I sometimes get a tune in my head and will start dancing and even if I'm home alone in the living room, I stop and look around to make sure nobody's watching.

It usually happens when I am driving, but sometimes I will see a number and figure out different math formulas or how many consecutive numbers I can make out of them.

Example: 123 - 1, 2, 3, 1+3=4, 2+3=5, 1+2+3=6, (2x3)+1=7, (1+3)x2=8, (1+2)x3=9

Nick, you can now buy jalapeno flavored tortilla chips! Heh.

Btw, I found a site about toilet paper placement. Would you believe we failed to discuss a THIRD style? Check it out: Correct Toilet Paper Roll Placement

My new weirdness confession of the day: I'm kinda like the father in the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding--with his faith in Windex. Except my cleaners on a pedestal are Swiffer Wet floor cleaner thingees. Besides using them on my floors, I also use them on walls, upholstery, laundry stains, bathroom porcelain and tiles, the exterior of the fridge, etc.

I love Swifter products. The wetjet, the duster thingie, the vacuum thingie, all of it. They're so easy and quick to use. It's a weirdness I know, but I can't help it. I get excited about anything that makes cleaning easier.

sorry, eeyores, i don't turn right on a legal turn on a red when cars are turning onto the same street i want to go into because they don't go in the left lane, as they are supposed to. my husband always goes and almost gets hit. it would be his fault because he had a red light and they are coming from a legal green turn light. when i do go, i always turn into the closest lane and then signal and change lanes. i have been almost hit so many times when people behind me turn into a lane to the left instead of the far right lane.

i dream a lot about some dashing man. always the same guy. the dream goes on with flirtation and whatever, but just when he is going to turn around and kiss me, i wake up. i have no idea who the guy is and for half the day, it throws me!

i have another recurring dream and right now i am at a loss to recall what it is. it happens pretty often. as soon as it happens again, i'll try and remember what it is!

i hate it when people say supposably or pacific or pacifically (when they don't mean the ocean!) or cornutopia, or shaws (for shawls). i actually shudder and correct people. it just comes out of me! i worked with a 32-year-old woman who murdered the king's english and she always said 'punkim' for pumpkin. aaargh!
well, i'm off to see if i have the recurring dream that has slipped my mind!
stay tuned. :-)
oh, one recurring dream is that i have a big math test and i study and study and then i can't find the classroom on campus (that i have supposedly been to for weeks before the midterm) or i finally find it and don't know anything on the test. sometimes drew carey is the teacher and he is wearing a navy blue suit!
