How Do You Do It?

[Sigmund]

Good Wednesday afternoon.

We all have certain ways we do things. Is it the right way, wrong way or just your way?

For example:

The heal/butt of the bread. What do you do with it?

Cereal. Milk or cereal in the bowl first?

Me, I have to thoroughly wash and rinse my hands before I wash my face first thing in the morning.

I like to put on Pandora with easy listening while I read.

What do you do and how do you do it?

Thank you!

(Oh! Another example: My little sister-in-law opens the shower curtain before she goes to the bathroom. Anywhere she goes, she must be able to see the shower is empty before she can sit and do her thing. >_<

The heal/butt of the bread. What do you do with it? I eat it first - if fresh baked. Throw it out if that store bought stuff.

Cereal. Milk or cereal in the bowl first? Cereal in first (Important: Milk should never be added to chowder)

Me, I have to thoroughly wash and rinse my hands before I wash my face first thing in the morning. I hit the can first, then wash up.

I like to put on Pandora with easy listening while I read. I like to put on a Fedora while reading.

Thanks for the reminder. Had to edit the errors in your recipe to make sure the 2 cups of cream was added at the end.

Hola!

I was told, in a very serious manner, the heel of the bread is meant to keep the next slice soft. So, you take the heel out, take the number of slices you want out and return the heel.

I usually eat Cocoa Puffs or Frosted Flakes and I put the milk in first. If I pour the milk over the cereal it floats up and I can't put enough milk in.

In a sandwich, I put the meat on first, then tomato, pickle and onions THEN the lettuce and the top bread. I dislike soggy bread so the wet tomato and pickles between the meat and lettuce.

Put on both socks first, then shoes or one sock, then shoe?

Do you tap the top of your soda can before you open it?

 

[Doc Creed]

I like to toast the two heels and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich; apple jelly and Jif peanut butter. It's a real treat. (I try not to be grossed out by the thought of all the hands that have groped that first end piece).

Cereal first, then milk.

Why does someone tap a soda can before opening it?

Heels for to the birds.
Cereal in bowl first
hands washed often
do not drink soda.

People mistakenly think the tapping will keep the soda from foaming.

I throw away the heels. wah the hands before brushing my teeth, and after brushing my teeth. then shower. I wash my hands a lot during the day.

You should have put this in the Weekly Survey!
I have to feed the cat before doing anything else in the kitchen in the morning. She is like an alarm clock. If I am not up, she puts her paws on the door so I will hear her. Do you guys with pets have to do the same thing?

[prufrock21]

I look under the bed before I get up in the morning. If I see something untoward there, I wait till it leaves then I get up.

Gee, thank you for that, sir. I totally wanted to stay up all night watching my bed from across the room.

Reminded me of an old therapist joke

Man:I saw a talk therapist for three years for my fear of monsters under my bed. Then, I saw a behaviorist for one session and I was cured.
Friend: Wow! What did she say?
Man: Put your box spring and mattress directly on the floor.



Talk therapists have a come back, though

Spoiler: Talk Therapist

Talk therapist: A couple of nights later, the monsters were at the window.

Same here.

 

[Sigmund]

Instead of taking the ice trays to the sink to fill, a woman at work uses a pitcher to fill the ice trays in the freezer.

Yes, I notice things like this.

 

[pegasus216]

That's a good idea! I always spill them before I get to the freezer with them.
I can't put my foot over the side of the bed for thinking that something will grab it. weird.

Yeah, don't think I can contribute anything here. This one won.

Keep the heels on to keep the inner slices fresh, then use them for a sandwich.

I don't worry about washing until I hit the shower. I do wash before and after handling food.

Cereal first. But I eat it out of a mug for portion control. If I put milk in first, that displacement thing that Archimedes noticed might come into play in an unfortunate way.

I've mentioned this before, but I brush my teeth using hot water because 1) hot water cleans better than cold water and 2) heat aids chemical reactions, such as fluoride binding to strengthen enamel.

I like room-temperature coffee that's been sitting out for an hour or two as much as I like hot coffee. I like iced coffee too. No cream, no sweetener. I'm apparently a bitter old man.

I almost never look at myself in a mirror, even the big wonkin' one in the bathroom.

I back my car into the garage so I can do the Batcave thing when I leave.

Physics in my life are goofy, I guess. I put the milk in first then the cereal because my cereal will float otherwise. (Things are different in Siggie's world.)

This sounds like an idea, I'm going to try. Thank you.

Never tried iced coffee and I recently stopped drinking coffee.

The bread heels? That's what a co-worker said. Keeps the bread in between fresh.

 

[HollyGolightly]

I've never heard about the bread heels but that makes perfect sense. Just a random question - what kind of bread do you buy? I like Bunny Bread wheat with sesame seeds on the top.

First thing out of bed - let the dogs out and get my coffee (set to brew at 5:30am so it's done when I get up) I'll wash my hands after I wake up with my coffee cup in my hand . There was a time when the coffee maker was actually in my bedroom, but the smell would wake everyone in the house up, and I prefer a quite cup first thing. I'm a little coffee obsessed. I think skimom2 understands.

Sock-sock, shoe-shoe (this was a Newlywed Game question back in the 70s - how and why I remember this is beyond me).

I can't have any noise on while I read.

Cereal first, then milk. What cereal do you like? I like Apple Jacks

I like to graze a long time, so to keep from overeating I use small plates and bowls. When I eat pizza - I take it completely apart. Set the toppings aside - sorted maybe, depending on what it is. Pull the cheese off and place it cheese side down, pick the crust apart and dip into the sauce resting on the cheese. Then eat the toppings one at a time before finally picking at the cheese until it's gone. You would think this is maddening to watch, but never in my life has anyone even mentioned it. Either it's not the oddest thing I do so they pay it no mind, or they think it's best I only have 1 piece so as not to add more wobble to my bits.

I can't have any noise on when I read

I am the same way. If I'm in an airport or doctor's office I find myself reading the same page over and over. I'll be thinking to myself about my surroundings or where I'm going to grab lunch. It's extra difficult to focus.
At home it is easier to find quiet. I don't like background music when I'm writing at the typewriter, either. (Yes, I still have my typewriter.)
