Actually..she doesn't have a problem with fruits and veggies..her older sister torments her and says vegtables have faces because the flower is the face..we had to calm her down and assure her that flowers don't have faces..she has to be the most unique individual I've ever met..I love her to pieces..she is definately what one would call a "free spirit"!

*sigh*

I think we need an "Confess Your Quirks Here..." thread.

*Our whole family still gives our stuffed animals "oxygen pills," when the critter needs to be transported from one place to another in a limited air space container (such as, when it is wrapped as a gift).

*I read a sign posted over banannas in a grocery store that said, "please don't separate us, we grew up together." Refering, of course, to each bunch of banannas. redface to say, I actually pay heed to that when selecting bananas.

Lori, I bet you're not feeling wierd at all now, huh?

Sia, love those plates. The top ones may be just too cute to eat! As children, we had to be encouraged to eat cute things like that by being told: this thing was created to be eaten. He/it will be sad if he can't fulfill his "job." Getting eaten makes him happy!

....sulking off to corner, hoping more people reveal thier quirks, and maybe even starts thier own thread for it. I think I've outed myself enough tonight....

Uh uh! Not me! I am NOT going to be the first one in a "Confess Your Quirks" Thread! Now, if someone else starts one, I'll transfer my stories from this one to there......

I'm the way I am for a variety of reasons. First and perhaps foremost, I am the worst at being a sentimental old mush-head. Second, I have much too vivid an imagination. Third, I have a lovely sense of humor, that makes others think I'm much too wierd for them......

This is all too much to absorb. I'm going to wipe it all out of my memory.

Don't get your spirits dampened, Weinermeyer.

Hey! Speaking of weeners, did you notice we now have a possible relative of yours on the board, Weenerlobo?



You are sooooooo cute, Spongie. I could just squeeze you to pieces.

Remember it's all water under the bridge. It is a lot to soak up.

Draheid, I don't know which part of Texas you are in, but around here there are several places with unique pronunciations.
Seguin, which looks like it would be pronounced like it's cousin sequin, is Sig'-een. Gruene is pronounced like the color green. Boerne is Ber'-nie, and the Pedernales River is pronounced Per'-din-alice. There is a town called Buda which is pronounced Buu'da and a street named Jahn that is like a yawn. Can any of you pronounce Huisache?

Never have I eaten a sponge! Is it like eating watermelon?

This sponge is really chewy. Hey bob, being a sponge and all, you don't seem that self absorbed at all to me. ((hug)) :)

Silksmoke, do you mean chewy like sponge-cake consistency, or chewy like old-shoe-leather chewy? spongebob2

Good-chewy, of course. Not so tough it leaves you drained afterwards.



Hey, maybe we should get Ketchuplover over here. He likes to bite things.

Juju, you just hadda go there. 'Drained afterward?' That's a bad thing? It's only bad if your sponge slides down the drain afterward and plugs up the water-line.

Sorry, I must interupt the levity of these last few posts with my newest dumb question!

I'm trying to replace the shower head in my bathroom. The one that's on there now was the one that was there when we bought the place 16 years ago. Well, I guess age, rust, mineral deposits or something has basically glued the thing on. Try as I might, I can't get the old shower head to come off. Problem #1 is, I may just not be strong enough. Problem #2, I'm pulling (turning) on the darn thing so hard, I fear I may tear the pipe right out of the wall (and I really don't want to do that!).

So, is there some type of solvent, that I can drip down into the threads, that will loosen the thing up? Hoping to find a simple cure to break down whatever has decided to glue the shower head into place. Or, am I stuck with "keep trying, it will come loose eventually." Only other option is to call sis over, she's stronger than me!

It still is "left loosen, right tighten, isn't it?

Whoami: Liquid Wrench is a good way to breakup rust/corrosion on threaded joints. You might also try 'lightly' tapping on it with a small hammer or similar tool to loosen it up. The pipe going 'into' the wall is usually just going into another threaded joint in the form of an elbow that turns it 90 degrees from the faucets below. Lastly, you could use another wrench/pliers to hold the other part of the pipe (wrap a washcloth or something to protect the pipe) and hold it while turning the head the opposite direction.

Good luck! I hope this helps.
