Hello:

This is a continuation of the "I'm weird" series. I'm doing it again, because I'm even weirder than I thought I was.

You see, I've got this fork and spoon. I LOVE 'em. Now, I don't care what I'm eating, I HAVE to have my fork and/or my spoon. Even though I have a drawer full of perfectly clean and serviceable silverware, I'll plow through the dirty dishes, just so I can eat with my favorite utensil. I even obsess when I can't find 'em. Food has been known to get cold here when I'm looking, and I KNOW somebody stole my favorite tea spoon just to punish me. I haven't enjoyed tea since that disappeared.

Yeah, I'm weird. You?

excon

No, nothing weird on this end. Have some foibles to deal with though. I am a clean freak in my bathroom and kitchen. I get upset when I am out of Pinsol.

I get up at 0500H every day and do the same stuff, Melitta coffee from my Cuisenart, my Toronto Star, delivered at 0400H, etc.

I guess you would say I am normal to a degree.

I don't think you are weird because of the teaspoon. You are probably just 'died in the wool' and set in your ways like the rest of us.

Good question by the way.

Tick

I'm just as strange my friend I think, my socks has to match my underwear so I pick them out the night before or else your waiting for me to wash and dry them and I can't walk on the ground in my bear feet it freaks me out big time so I've slippers in every room my nick name is cinderella cause of this :) one of my many alter egos lol

I can't eat ice cream without my little plastic spoon. I only have the one, and I refuse to eat ice cream unless it's available. It just tastes better with this little plastic spoon. The metal ones get too cold and the ice cream sticks to the spoon and ruins the taste. Ya, that's why! Really!

Uhm weird, I am not sure what to say about me. Will let you guys decide how weird I am. Create a nice little story that works and share what you think is weird about me?

This may come as a HUGE surprise to some but...
I'm a ditz! I never can remember where I park my car when I go the mall or the grocery store when I'm by myself. You'd THINK I'd remember that I don't EVER remember but NOOOOO! AND it got really bad the other day because I was given a loaner car while mine was in the shop. I was wandering aimlessly, I mean I had NO IDEA. Some poor guy took pity on me and pulled up and told me he'd go down every isle and look for it if I could tell him what kind of car it was.. I had NO CLUE... all I knew was it was silver. It was embarrassing! I always think.. when's it going to end Tess? When's it going to end?

Jesushelper, I don't know why you are weird because I don't know you well enough. BUT maybe because you were BORN in 1976 and I was Sophomore in high school. That makes you pretty much a freak to me. Ha ha just kidding. I'm just jealous. ( I'm assuming you were born in 1976?) If not, then I got nuttin... so far you seem pretty normal to me.


Also thought of something else that makes me weird. I usually spill something on me when I eat. When I worked in an office, they use to guess what I had for lunch. Tee hee... thus the name CLASSY I oooze it. Ha ha

There's nothing weird about me. Absolutely nothing. Really.

Auntie, your overly obsessive about spelling errors and proper prounounciations. Your unique not everybody is like that lol.. That would not make you weird though.

Your unique
That should be "you're," not "your," dear little nephew. Excellence in grammar and punctuation and spelling are what make me lovable. I'm VERY lovable.

I never abbreviate you are. I spell it out. I don't think its acceptable to type you're.

Sorry, just me, not you.

I really hate 'wanna' instead of want to.

Tick

I dont think its acceptable to type you're.

Yes, it's (it is) acceptable to type "you're." Grammarians accept many contractions, especially in informal writing. For formal writing, you would (you'd) be correct.

In the same way, "don't" would be considered unacceptable.

Auntie, your overly obsessive about spelling errors and proper prounounciations. Your unique not everybody is like that lol.. That would not make ya weird though.
I'm an expert on a grammar site, so I guess I'm always aware of misspellings and such like. And I do make mistakes myself (and cry all night because of them). Is this what makes me weird? Hmmmm...

I have one mug.. I drink coffee from. It's my favorite.
I also put lettace on the bottom of a hamburger instead of the top.

I AYWAYS take a pack of the of the sanitized wipes with me, so I can wipe the shopping cart handles. Major Weird??

I don't care about grammarians. As a very good administrative secretary years ago, my letter writing was impecable and I would never use you're in a business letter. Anyway in Pitman shorthand (yes, we used that back then) abbreviations are just unknown, In other words, 'you are' has to be completely recognizable in Pitman shorthand because the letter you took down that way, may not be typed for a day or so. There was no room for mis-interpretation.

However, I do see what you mean.



Everyone to each his own, right ?

Not weird to be sanitized, Kit. As a healthcare worker I do the same, in fact I carry hand sanitizer around with me and use every time I think about it. Plus hands get washed immediately entering my house. Not an obssessive compulsive disorder just some things you have to do nowadays to keep disease away.

A business letter is considered formal writing, so, yes, you are correct about not contracting "you are" in one. You were a good administrative secretary because of grammarians, so please don't throw them out without a hug.

I am much cuter then Pigpen though, and cleaner. ;)

I did say "but instead."

You might want to hand out commas to some of the questioners who come here and write long, unpunctuated blocks of text. Do you share your commas with others?

I do too. Isn't that a law?

Oh, Clorox. You said colorox. My husband does all the grocery shopping now (while I stay home and wash dishes), so I thought something new had been invented.

I would eat at your house on your sanitized dishes.

What's a dishwasher?


Go to your mirror WG :D



::running away::

I've never had a machine-thing dishwasher. Yup, just me as the dish washer.

Hello again,

Yup. You're (I mean you are) ALL weird.

excon

I feel pretty normal now that I've read about all of you. I thought for sure I was the only one who had to have specific utensils for eating certain things. :D

Okay I always iron my jeans...:eek:

That's just crazy:eek:

I can't stop doing things, but I don't have a problem with it and don't take my 'one' soup spoon that is not quite as big as the others:eek:

Some things are almost ritual in the morning. I use the same routine every morning and if I forget that ritual I know something very bad is going to happen.

I believe that my use of my punctuation incorporated in the above paragraph is good... if not then at least functional... :)

With all the money I'll make selling them, I'll buy a newer, better, quieter version. :)

How much should I charge per comma? They're dear to me, so it should be a fair price. I'm not just giving these babies away.

Ooh I like the I'm weird series..

G'Morning, Sarah:

Ok, here's another one. It's distinctly AMHD weird, too. As some of you know, I LOVE to argue. I TROLL the new posts just looking for a good argument. When I can't find one, I reluctantly walk away.

But, when I here the "bong" of an arriving email, I declare to my kitty, "hooray, somebody wants to argue with me", and I run to the computer...

Ain't none of you THAT weird.

Nah, arguing is fun.

Uh... I'm weird because:

-I like to push my stomach out [you know what I'm talking about].. it's like ever since I had Rachel my abs can push out and I can look pregnant. Sometimes, when I'm bored I like to stretch out my stomach and look like I'm pregnant.. it's fun. Sometimes if I do it in public people ask me how far along I am.. especially if I add the hands behind my back and rubbing my back like it hurts or rubbing my belly lol... Even Rachel knows the game.. whenever I push my stomach out she's like "oh there's moms baby".. haha. It's fun.

Yeah, that's weird, all right.

Well, for me, I really hate things being messy, and dirty, and all that. You would expect me to be like a maniac of cleanliness and order in everything, but no! If you just had a look at my room :eek:

But once I get into getting things in it's right place, getting some cleaning, I won't stop until it's done, or I'm completely worn out.

Yes, I'm weird :o

I do the same thing. At work they make fun of me for it. Everything at work has to be in it's proper place or it drives me crazy. But my room is a disaster. And if I get started cleaning or scrubbing in the kitchen, I don't stop until they both sparkle again.


When I have cake with a filling in the center, I have to eat it a certain way. And it all depends on if I like the filling or the frosting better. If the frosting is better, I eat the bottom layer with the filling, then move onto the top layer with frosting. And if I like the filling better I eat them in the opposite order.

Should that... reassure me? ;) Lol

Deleted... ha... I DID it!

UGH! Well remember how I was saying that I forget where I park my car when I go anywhere? Well NOW I have lost my drivers license. I went to a gas station with a mini mart to buy beer. I don't drink beer but I was having unexpected company and they do. The guy carded me. I'm 48!! I mean REALLY was there any doubt? Anyway, must have had my head in the clouds over THAT and who the heck knows what I did with them. That was LAST week and I'm just now realizing I don't have my license. I'm such a weird, dippy, DITZ and I hate it. PLUS, I have mustard on my top right now... I ate a hotdog for lunch minus the bun. The end.

P.S. I posted this twice on accident. Sorry. SEE? It never ends.

How can I take the first one off? I tried to delete but couldn't...

I did it... kinda sort of... thanks!!

I haven't read back... but is it a spork or separate utensils?

Also my ex had this affliction, he had OCD... just saying...

I am a germophobe.

Maybe a touch of OCD.

but is it a spork or separate utensils?Hello Aurora:

Nope. They're separate. They give you sporks in JAIL. I'll NEVER use one of those.

excon

Haha that reminded me of the time where this girl thought I was 14 [I'm 23] and wouldn't let me buy my vodka. Good thing I had my passport on me as well.

Ha! I think it's better to look younger. I have friends that look older, like really old. Another reason why I quit smoking. I didn't want to look like I'm 35. I want to look 35 when I'm 65 :p

I get carded all the time. Mind you I am only 26,legal age here is 19, but still!

I always get carded for cigarettes :rolleyes:

Legal age here is 18 and I am 24. It's a pain because when we are at the supermarket checkout and V is paying I usually grab a $20 and duck over to the cigarette counter... only to be sent away for not having my ID with me. Then they won't sell them to V either because they think he is buying them for me and I'm underage!

Hahahahahaha Shaz, that sucks lol. I know the feeling. My dad sent me into the beer store to buy him beer once after knee surgery, I didn't have my ID they sent me away, and then they wouldn't sell him any beer. Lol we had to drive half way across town to the nest beer store.

Yup... it sucks! Maybe we should start microchipping people... hmmmm

Yeah but you guys are all young... I'd card you too. I'm 48 and while I HOPE I look younger than that... COME ON! Ain't no way I look 21. It happened another time when my husband and I went out to eat. I ordered a drink... my husband said the guy just wanted a bigger tip and trust me.. he got one! Ha ha

Awwww thanks! You say the sweetest things to me. :)

I have to have my toilette paper on the roll a certain way. Facing down if that makes sense. And ll my hangers and shirts have to be facing the same way in the closet. And at the shelter all the leashes have to be hanging the same way.

I don't have particular utensils that I am attached to, but I have a favorite glass for soda that I will seek out and wash if it isn't in the cupboard.

I also sing made up songs to my Pomeranians.

Queue: "Does That Make me Crazy?"

I can relate to the glass thing. When my fave straight up martini glass is dirty (I only have one left) I have to dig it out of the dishwasher and wash it.

Tick

I have a fork that I have to use.

My parents had the same silverware set since I was very little and when I moved out I took one of the forks with me... every other fork just doesn't feel right in my mouth :o :o :o

Speaking of forks, my mom has a very sharp-tined fork that she's had for years (from a previous silverware set? Stolen from someone's house?). It's a terrific fork for spearing sliced pickles out of the jar. She has asked us kids to make a list of favorite and special objects we want from her possessions when she dies. The "pickle fork" is at the top of my list, along with an all-metal paring knife that never needs sharpening.

My coffeemaker is on its third pot. It's the only one I've ever owned. No other machine makes coffee right.

Hello:

Some of you might recall that I had to get rid of my Jew hating Krupp coffee maker. That's because Krupp made the ovens some of my relatives were gassed in... It never did work right, anyway. So, I bought a Cuisinart, probably because of ticks recommendation.. I don't think the French like Jews much either.

Well don't feel bad ex, they must not like he Polish, the German or the Russian either, mine sucks with a capitol S.

If you have it hanging down on over the top, the cats and or dogs can unroll it just with their paws.

I put it on so it's under, so if they start pawing it... it just rolls up.:)

My husband loved his until he discovered the one cup stupid thing... keurig? I told him if you want one cup just use our French Press and save $100.00. I'm still working on him;)

Had to look on the bottom, the letters are all worn off. The coffeemaker's a Sunbeam. I think it's a patent pending model.

That's the one that we have too EX and it works pretty well. (Cuisinart)

Hello:

I live in Seattle. We're coffee SNOBS. You can't keep coffee on a burner without it deteriorating drastically. So, the reason I bought the Cuisinart, is because it has a thermos pot that's supposed to keep the coffee hot WITHOUT external heat. It only keeps it hot for about two hours.

I wanted more. I ALWAYS want more...

I don't remember where but I once read an article that stated that fresh brewed coffee starts to chemically break down within five minutes and dramatically changes the taste. That being the case now I know why things are growing in ours at my office... :rolleyes:
