Parrothead Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 My secret weirdness...and I can't even believe that I'm going to admit this publicly...is that I love watching the Lawrence Welk Show. My dh thinks its hilarious. Its one of my secret pleasures in life. :D You know if there is a support group for this that you'll be the only one under the age of 80. :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 As a child, I was told that the reflection you see in a dark mirror isn't your own. Yeah, no mirrors in our bedrooms. And why wouldn't it be one's own reflection? I do dislike it when people say dumb stuff to kids to scare them. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaT Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I have waited to respond to this thread because I can't decide which weirdness to reveal. I can relate to many that have already been posted. I have the fear of height and being afraid I'm going to jump thing, and towels being folded just right. I can't begin a task (or school) until my house is totally picked up and clean. So just a couple of others (there are many more:001_smile:): I have a thing about even numbers (thus 6 kids), and things being balanced. If someone cuts food and it's not straight, I have to "fix" it. Large, close crowds and the "hum" of noise they make makes me feel like I am losing my mind. I am always afraid I am going to start screaming out loud. I haven't done that yet, but I have passed out in crowds from the stress of trying not to scream. So now you know.

BatmansWife Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I wear these when chopping onions: [ATTACH]9205[/ATTACH] :D :lol: :lol: {meekly raises hand] I do this. I do it when I am sewing or craft too. I think I want to be Martha Stewart when I grow up. did you make biscuits? I am craving me some biscuits made with real butter and buttermilk, baked in my cast iron pan. I also want to smear some homemade peach jam on them. (yesterday, I wrote an article about cast iron and the uses of it for a website. I wrote about cornbread, catfish and baking stuff like biscuits in it. So now I really want to eat all of the above.) Yay!! Nope...sorry. Biscuits wasn't it. One of the people who don't like heights needs to start a social group for support. :D Great idea! And, they all can meet at the upper level balcony of a convention center. :lol: Actually, balconies are one of my fears. I've never imagined that I would hurl myself intentionally over the side (that's a little weird)...but I do fear that somehow I will fall over the edge. Or, that one of my kids will. Biscuits? What's up with the biscuits?? No, it wasn't biscuits. :001_rolleyes: Frankly Chucki....I feel a little hurt that you don't really know what I baked this morning but you thought it was buscuits.

I do not like the color yellow if it is bright or deep...pale is fine...bright just makes my eyeballs twitch :blink: and I don't know why. My sister-in-law has a BRIIIIIIIIIGHT yellow kitchen with cobalt blue accents and all kinds of Art Deco stuff around.

Ibbygirl Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Alright: am I the only person who folds towels however they will fit into the current space? My last house they only fit if I folded them in trifold, my husbands business, they have to be folded in half flat and square, in this house-- either way. Perhaps the non weird one is the weirdest--- hmmmm... Nope. I do this too! But they do have to be folded right side out. :) I do dislike it when people say dumb stuff to kids to scare them. Me too! My grandmother used to tell me crazy stuff to spook me when I was young. She also knew I was pathologically afraid of cockroaches and so she would catch them (alive) and hold them up by the antennae and chase me with it! Yeah, abuela was a bundle of fun! :glare: Meaning it was Something Else looking at you from inside the mirror. Wasn't my grandmother lovely? :glare: My grandmother used to say stuff like this too.

ereks mom Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Oooh, I'm so trying this. I've always stuck with vanilla in the past. I thought of another weirdness: I am completely grossed out at the thought of swimming in lakes or oceans. I'm willing to wade up to my ankles at the shore, but the idea of immersing myself in the ick is just, well, ICKY. Give me a lovely, crystal clear, chlorinated pool any day! :iagree: Although I will wade in the ocean, I do not swim in bodies of water where I cannot see the bottom. I prefer a pool.

She married in to my grandfather's family who all live in Tampa and he and all his family were always super sweet nice and wonderful. They all seemed to have this gift of making you feel like you were there favorite one. :) I love my family in Tampa to death! My grandma really was the odd man out in a group of wonderful people. :) When I was learning to shoot I found out that I'm cross-dominant (left eye/right hand). Then when the left arm went bad (frozen shoulder/torn tendon) I realized exactly how much more I use my left arm than my right. Then there was a very dim memory of me sitting down to write something as a very young child and my dad making a fuss because I tried to use my left hand. I've been wondering about it for 3 or 4 weeks now. This article is interesting. These two bit in particular I found enlightening. :) Right-handedness is most common. Right-handed people are more dexterous with their right hands when performing tasks. A variety of studies suggest that 70–90% of the world population is right-handed' date=' rather than left-handed or any other form of handedness.[1'][2]Left-handedness is less common than right-handedness. Left-handed people are more dexterous with their left hands when performing tasks. A variety of studies suggest that 10% of the world population is left-handed.[3] Left-handed people live in a world dominated by right-handed people' date=' and many tools and procedures are designed to facilitate use by right-handed people, often without even realising difficulties placed on the left-handed."For centuries, left-handers have suffered unfair discrimination in a world designed for right-handers."[7'] However, as well as inconvenience, left-handed people have been considered unlucky or even malicious for their difference by the right-handed majority.In many European languages, including English, the word for the direction "right" also means "correct" or "proper". Throughout history, being left-handed was considered negative. The Latin word sinistra meant "left" as well as "unlucky" and this double meaning survives in European derivatives of Latin, and in the English word "sinister.' There are many negative connotations associated with the phrase "left-handed": clumsy, awkward, unlucky, insincere, sinister, malicious, and so on. A "left-handed compliment" is considered one that is unflattering or dismissive in meaning. In French, gauche means both "left" and "awkward" or "clumsy", while droit(e) (cognate to English direct and related to "adroit") means both "right" and "straight", as well as "law" and the legal sense of "right". The name "Dexter" derives from the Latin for "right", as does the word "dexterity" meaning manual skill. As these are all very old words, they would tend to support theories indicating that the predominance of right-handedness is an extremely old phenomenon. Black magic is sometimes referred to as the "left-hand path". Until very recently in Taiwan, left-handed people were strongly encouraged to switch to being right-handed, or at least switch to writing with the right hand. It is considered[by whom?] more difficult to write legible Chinese characters with the left hand than it is to write Latin letters, though difficulty is subjective and depends on the person in question. Because writing when moving one's hand away from its side of the body can cause smudging if the outward side of the hand is allowed to drag across the writing, writing in the Latin alphabet is less feasible with the left hand than the right. Conversely, right-to-left alphabets such as the Arabic and Hebrew are considered[by whom?] easier to write with the left hand in general. With a fountain pen, left-to-right alphabets can be written smudge-free and in proper "forward slant" with the left hand if the paper is turned 45 degrees clockwise. This prevents the painful bent-wrist "crab hand" often seen in left-handed writers, and it permits a clear view of what has already been written on the current line. It is also possible to do calligraphy in this posture with the left hand, but using right-handed pen nibs. Otherwise, left-handed pen nibs are required in order to get the thick to thin stroke shapes correct for most typefaces, and the left-handed calligrapher is very likely to smudge the text. Left-handed pen nibs are not generally easy to find, and strokes may have to be done backwards from traditional right-handed calligraphic work rules to avoid nib jamming and splatter. These issues have been made almost irrelevant by the near-universal adoption of fast-drying ballpoint and gel pens for everyday use (pen nibs are now a specialty item rarely stocked by office suppliers), and the widespread use of computers and other electronic devices for communicative purposes.

Lisbeth Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I had Alice in Wonderland syndrome as a kid at night in association with migraines, only I called it the "Big Littles." The weirdest part...it didn't scare me...I thought it was fun. Sometimes I would see an empty boxing arena nearly dark as I was falling asleep as part of that. No.idea.why. I can't touch fork tines with my lips. Like anorexics. I read an article about all of the nastiness in food when I was much too young and could only eat if I imagined all of the yuck in processed food (like rodent hair) being pushed to the last bite. To this day I sometimes can't eat the last bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woman who was on the microphone announcing the acts asked if there was anyone else who wanted to perform and dd went up to the front and grabbed the microphone and sang Ace Frehley's New York Groove acapella! :lol: :lol: It was so funny because all of the other kids were singing all these Contemporary Christian songs or worship songs and my dd is up there singing, "in the back of my Cadillac. Wicked lady sittin by my side saying 'Where are we?'....." :lol: After the show someone came up to me and said, "Well I guess we know what kind of music you listen to." :blushing: hehehehe LOL... My son came charging upstairs to get me today because KISS was on an episode of Scooby Doo. hahaha Edited June 24, 2012 by DragonFaerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 :hurray: This makes me feel a little better. :) There's just something about that distorted growly sound that an electric guitar makes when it's plugged in on high running through some kick arse pedals that makes me grin from ear to ear. Love it! Same with muscle cars. When I hear one opening up the engine and tearing off down the road my heart skips a beat! Love that sound! :) Yeah, I'm weird. :p Yes! Muscle cars. Now we are talking. ;):D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I do the pacing while talking on the phone thing, too. I never thought of it as weird. Does it count as exercise if I have a long enough phone conversation? hehehe Has to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I had Alice in Wonderland syndrome as a kid at night in association with migraines, only I called it the "Big Littles." The weirdest part...it didn't scare me...I thought it was fun. Sometimes I would see an empty boxing arena nearly dark as I was falling asleep as part of that. No.idea.why. I can't touch fork tines with my lips. Like anorexics. I read an article about all of the nastiness in food when I was much too young and could only eat if I imagined all of the yuck in processed food (like rodent hair) being pushed to the last bite. To this day I sometimes can't eat the last bite. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc26 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Dd does the pacing on the phone thing. I wonder why that happens. I wonder if it is because she talks with her hands but needs the hands for the phone. You may be on to something there. I do tend to talk with my hands. However, I am sitting now typing and just noticed that my legs are bouncing up and down. There probably just needs to be some part of me moving all the time. Huh.

Parrothead Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 I cannot stand wet bread. I don't want to look at it and if I have to touch it BLECK. Please do not sop your gravy up in front of me and if any of my children leave a bread product in my sink I have to wait until DH comes home to run the disposal because I just cannot stomach looking at it. You have it bad.. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 LOL...

KidsHappen Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I do the same thing, except I do it on the back of my head, in my hair. I do the same thing. My kids are constantly telling me that I am going to make myself bald. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
