well as soon as I think of something that is weird that I do I will do a vid response, even though I am behind on your vids so this will not be current but I guess that is ok? I am not saying that I do not do anything weird it is just I think I do things that I do not THINK are weird to me but to other ppl they are! :P

Do you have any weird shoe habits, I mean besides BUYING THEM ALL!:) I used to work with a girl who NEVER let her shoes touch. She kept tissue in her shoe boxes to keep them from touching, and GOD FORBID if YOU accidentally touched one of them. She was FREAKY about it.

I proofread everything!!!! I hate typos and mispellings on signs, newspapers, menus, brochures . . . makes me crazy to see that!!! FYI - I am doing a Bible study and 5 is the number of the grace of God so that hug and pat thing is a nice idiosyncracy to have. Just wondering, do you have a can of mandarin oranges in your cabinet?

[lemonette]

You know I DO! Love you, and miss you.

It drives me up the wall if someone opens up a can of vegetables or tomatoes upside down. You know ,the label upside down.

[lemonette]

No lemonette, you're not the only one. My husband is always locking doors,he always has a pen handy, and he can work in the yard or tinker with car and never get dirty. But a lady that I worked with once could have been a case study for OCD. She was so much fun to know. You should read "Confessions of a failed southern lady" Apparently the southern culture is filled with eccentric people. I bet you would recognize some of the characters that she writes about with people that you know.

I'm not sure if anyone else shares this OCD moment(this is personal)but when I'm using a public toilet, or any toilet for that matter, I always have to count how many floor tiles or wall tiles there are in the bathroom. weird hey? and sometimes, if I'm waiting for something, or standing around doing nothing, if I see a bunch of text, I go thru the alphabet and pick out the letters in the words, and then after I do that, I go back thru the alphabet and count how many there are in each sentence!

I always pat the laundry. As I fold each piece, it gets 3 pats; When I'm cooking and adding eggs or liquids, they have to be broken or poured into the exact middle of the mixture. When putting biscuits or cookies on a cookie sheet, I count them as I place them. When I knock on a door it's always five knocks in succession. Lots of others; just can't think of them all right now.

I do things in even numbers. Shut off light switches twice. Scratch your back in even numbers like 14 times. I used to do it more when I was younger with the light switches. Something I'm kind of growing out of I hope. I thought that I was the only one.

I do the same thing with my bills. They all have to be facing the same way, and in order from smallest to highest ($1's, then $5's, etc). Also, toilet paper and paper towels have to come over the top, not from the bottom...
