sorry to hear that jen -my brothers kid is not bad like that just a wise guy with no respect for elders because he thinks he is cute and get away with it - and really it is my brothers fault because he does not discipline him - i was once in the car and he got a if you do that one more time from my brother and the k id said yeah right you never do anything to me and just continued - he would of been in his room for a month - no tv, eat dinner alone, only school work to keep him busy.
Quirks, idiosyncrasies, peculiarities
Problem parents warrants a thread of its own!
yes it does Victor!!!
Mr. Wilson would agree.
The quirk at this house is that we grow irises. Perhaps there are other plants in the world.
Funny you should say that irisMA. And here all this whole time I thought you were only into roses.
DH is that quirky also, he does have a plant of Paul Himilayan Musk. Bad childhood climate on Long Island.
Couldn't have been the North Shore...
I used to have 'peculiarities' or better called 'mannerisms' when I was younger, worried about fitting in, etc., but after you get older and sort out what's important and what's not, I found they go away by themselves, (at least in my case), I just didn't have any time for that stuff...
On Great South Bay.
I think most of us worry about fitting in as young people. As we get older we know we will fit in somewhere so who cares about that.
Are you saying you're quirkless WC? Really, truly?
Yes, I've phased out of that gendre, now I'm 'cool' like you D'nut! (lol!)
It's all about the joy WC ^_^
Sure it is. ☺
LOL!!
I have a tendency to buy seeds even if I don't need them....some I never even get around to sowing.
Thats me! But i'll share...trade whatever.
three of a kind!!!
LOL
Make that four. Buying seeds in the winter is like insurance that Spring WILL COME.
You can never, ever, ever have too much seed. Speaking of which I need to go out harvest some snaps.
Very funny, everyone! I laughed a lot (not silently) while reading some of these.
Bill - when we return to the Great Northeast, may I go grocery shopping with you????? I think it would be very entertaining, and hopefully I'll get to see you running over kids and putting the aisle-blocker in her place with your Newbie Suggestions! Still laughing!
What about toilet paper? Anyone 'anal' (hee hee!) about which way it's put on? Unfolding from the front vs. the back. I am. I like it to unfold from the rear. ^_^ Only exception is one bathroom where the holder is mounted low. It hits the heater if it unfolds from the back.
Toothpaste?? Roll the tube down or just squeeze? That one doesn't bother me.
Toilet paper - unfold from the front. The important thing, though, is that you don't run out of it - lol !
Toothpaste - roll as you go.
Yeah, toilet paper has to unroll from the front.....requires too much in the way of gymnastics to reach backwards and under. In my bathroom, it unrolls from the front. If Hank changes a roll, it unrolls from the back until I change it. LOL
Our TP rolls from the side cuz I accidently dropped the roller thingy down the vent (oops).
Wow - what vent has such large openings?
TP has to roll from the back...otherwise a cat can come along and unroll it. They think it's a grand game!!
Crash used to get it as a kitten - even from the back!
tp always on the front
same here....
over the top
From the bottom.
Over the top, I dropped the roller thingy in the toilet, ewwwww.... I went and bought one of those Glade rollers.
Toothpaste I squeeze from the bottom but don't roll it up.
When I used to take the eggs out of the carton to put in the fridge I had to put them in differently than they were in the carton so they had new "neighbors"
Wow, that's embarrassing to admit.
Victor it's a little vent without a grill just wide enough for the roller thingy. At first I thought it was a teensyweensy laundry shoot for socks but after DH noticed the shortage of socks I figured out it was a little furnace vent.
flowerjen that is just the sweetest friendliest thing to do ^_^
Thanks D Nut
Yeah, I like it too, Jen!!
Wow, you need help, Jen. ^_^
Maybe we can get a group rate!
Admitting is the first step Jen! LOL
Jen - did the neighbors know who was next on death row?
