I'm with you on the toilet paper. It's not normal to come over the top. I always re-organize the dishwasher. Tuna sandwich with only Kirlands's tuna, Hellman's mayo, Mrs. Dash, and Lays potato chips crumbled on top. Unplug coffee maker and toaster when leave the house. Never buy the top magazine or newspaper. I always take the 3rd or 4th down. I have long hair that I wear down when out of the house but as soon as I get home it has to go up in a clip. I'd better stop now. I'm afraid if I keep going I'll realize that I might need therapy. Keep up the great blog. I especially love all of your recipes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-75111418830810784542007-08-04T19:09:00.000-05:002007-08-04T19:09:00.000-05:00So, Okay, on a rainy day I check your blog!

Anyway – I would have submitted:<BR/> <BR/> I NEED jam on my pizza! Any jam will do but homemade, frozen strawberry is my favorite.<BR/> <BR/> Certain times on my digital clock represent good omens which, for me, means I will be able to go back to sleep! The good omens are times like 1:22, 2:33, 3:44, etc. I’ve seen them all in the last 2 ½ years. Of course the very best would be 1:11, 2:22, etc.<BR/> <BR/> I do everything in odd numbers – I plant 3 trees or flowers, pick 3, 5 or 7 flowers, etc. Remember Fibonacci? <BR/> <BR/> Of course, everybody knows that toilet paper has to come off the top. Easier to grab without touching the wall.<BR/> <BR/> I eat only while standing up – usually over the kitchen sink. Just think how often that allows me to eat!!<BR/> <BR/> That’s it – not one other weird thing about me!!<BR/><BR/>Alice<BR/>(Submitted via email)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-37420370007579388812007-08-04T18:46:00.000-05:002007-08-04T18:46:00.000-05:00Whew...glad I stopped by in time to enter your con...Whew...glad I stopped by in time to enter your contest!! I haven't been in blogland very much the last little while.<BR/><BR/>Ok...your quirky toilet paper thing is a quirky toilet paper thing with me too - only I have to have it over the top, not in back. It drives me nuts when I go to someone's house and they have it at the back...takes every bit of effort for me to NOT turn it around!<BR/><BR/>Another quirk is that I have to wear shoes if I walk on grass...no way will I walk barefoot on grass (which is weird because when I was younger I would walk barefoot on grass).Shelley L.

I buy a box at the grocery store and then I throw out ALL the greens and put the rest in a zip lock bag to 'smuggle' in to the movies.<BR/><BR/>2. When eating lunch I always use a paper towel as a napkin. But if it comes off the roll torn, I can't use it. Has to be a whole sheet.<BR/><BR/>3. HAVE to have my morning Constant Comment hot tea every morning, no matter what time of year it is... <BR/><BR/>what fun this is to read everyone's quirks, makes me feel like we're all cut from the same cloth (and the quirks are so varied...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-7440433247484828462007-08-03T21:31:00.000-05:002007-08-03T21:31:00.000-05:00I have to have my dishwasher loaded a certain way....I have to have my dishwasher loaded a certain way.

I like to add things to my grilled cheese sandwiches. Sometimes they're things that people consider fairly normal, like ham or mushrooms and onions, but sometimes people think they're kind of strange. For example, one kind I like involves Dijon mustard, jam, and cheese.ikkinlalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04832919596884346022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-56400240419786106162007-08-03T09:32:00.000-05:002007-08-03T09:32:00.000-05:00Happy 100th post!My quirk (one of many) is that wh...Happy 100th post!<BR/><BR/>My quirk (one of many) is that when I eat a steak, I have to melt butter all over it, with a little salt and pepper, and then put a pat on the side of the plate with A1 sauce, salt and pepper to dip the steak in.Miss Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900968613381597413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363968.post-45809045798805710732007-08-03T09:28:00.000-05:002007-08-03T09:28:00.000-05:00Yay for you! 100 posts!I do the opposite with the...Yay for you! 100 posts!<BR/><BR/>I do the opposite with the toilet paper.

I LOVED Pirates of the Caribbean - but couldn't stand their teeth!<BR/>2)I can put a worm on my hook (according to my Son - that's weird for a woman)<BR/>3)I can't WAIT to get to the bathroom after a meal or snack, so I can brush and floss!

I have close ties to Iowa, and I love MN, too.<BR/><BR/>I have a couple of quirks. I'm the opposite of you on which way the TP must unroll, & I change it everywhere so that it will unroll over. :-) I must have my Arizona Sun Tea Raspberry flavor iced tea, every morning. whether it is summer or winter; without it, I am a zombie!

I enjoy it. My quirk is that I have to make the bed first thing, every morning. If I leave in the morning before my husband and he doesn't make it, I have to make it before I crawl in at night. I can't get into an unmade bed. If I'm out of town for the weekend and he doesn't make the bed, I change the sheets when I get home. <BR/><BR/>My knitting quirk is that once I start to decrease at a toe end or mitten top, I need to continue until its done.

So when the family was sitting at dinner, I asked them, no one had anything (and I thought for sure they would come up with tons), but while eating, my son said "That's it! you store the food you place in your mouth on one side and then slowly eat it from there". "I do?" OHHHH...yeah... so that's mine.(why I do that is another story)<BR/><BR/>I had to go upstairs to see which way the TP unrolls...actually, I knew, but had to verify....from the top! actually, the brand sticks to itself, so it's always unrolling from the bottom. Perfect!
