How Do You Do It?

[not_nadine]

Apple Jacks? That's a special person right there that eats apple jacks. Like little cheerios gone wrong.

I brush my teeth in the shower. Yup. Right there.

If I'm eating something like Skittles or M&Ms or Jelly Bellies, I sort them into flavors and then eat one from each pile. With chips or the like, I eat the smallest pieces first.

Bread heels; I go past the front one and leave the last. B usually makes toast with them. I like white bread but I do get whole grain white at least.

Cereal, then milk. I like almost any cereal but my favorite is Lucky Charms.

I wash my hands before dealing with food and after getting home from anywhere.

Burger King has a Lucky Charms ice-cream sundae, now.

(I try not to be grossed out by the thought of all the hands that have groped that first end piece).

HAHAHA Thanks Doc!!! I love the heals but NEVER thought about that before..........

I have a morning routine... let the dogs out, wash my hands-face-brush my teeth and take my vitamins, get my coffee and sit on the side of the bed. Then I get a second cup of coffee sitting outside with the dogs. Long running rule.. no noise in the morning except for my birds.
HollyGolightly I am close to the same way with my pizza.. I pick it apart.. but I only eat the outside crust , not the bottom crust. For some reason I don't like the bottom of pizza.
I have too many other quirks to mention. It's fun reading everyone's tho.. lol Sometimes it's nice to see how similarly weird we all are.

My grandson, Kaden, has a weird habit. When we have dinner, say pork chops, mashed potatoes, and peas, he eats one thing at a time. He will eat all the potatoes, then all the peas, and then all the pork chop. I had never seen anyone do that before.

I prefer to eat pizza and spaghetti at room temperature
Won't drink a diet soda because I heard it kills brain cells
Cereal before milk......I like Special K with Red Berries
I line the grill with aluminum foil so it's easier to clean out the coals after they're used
If a black cat crosses in front of the car, I draw an X on the windshield with my finger

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.

I put milk in my coffee mug first then add the coffee. No stirring necessary. (I don't use any form of sweetener)
If I am the the first or only person to get on an elevator I always check to make sure the car is there.

That's actually a pretty common thing.

I did it like this, I did it like that, I did it with a wiffle-ball bat......

OK, catch up time here!

Bread heels - yes, leave them to keep the insides fresh. Use them at the end, just turn the brown side in. We buy Nature's Own white wheat.

Cereal first. Just enough milk to cover the bottom of the bowl to keep the cereal crunchy.

Wash my hands after coming home from anywhere and before touching food - actually often, all day. I try not to use too hot water to keep them from drying.

Dog routine - he wakes me up by sniffing at the bedroom door. I take him out the front door, he pees, I get the newspaper, we walk to the other side of the yard, he poos, I use the bag from the newspaper to pick it up. We go back in and he gets his cookie and I wash my hands. He doesn't eat breakfast until we do.

Sandwiches - I put mayo on first, then meat, cheese and tomato, lettuce, etc. I'm only really picky about my hamburger order. Mayo on both buns, spicy mustard on the bottom bun, then on the bottom bun - burger, cheese, bacon, tomato, onion, lettuce.

I can read with any or no background noise.

HollyGolightly and CrimsonKingAH - ladies, I promise you, if you pick apart your pizza in front of me, I will say something!

Oh, and I pick up my feet when driving over railroad tracks.

I don't mind about the bread heels. They are not my favorite, but they have to be eaten, so I treat them as a regular slice.

I add cereal first, then milk. If there is a lot of milk at the end, then I add more cereal so it is not wasted. When eating those high-floating types, I put my hand above them so they stay in place while I add milk.

Mr. King makes me listen to music with his novels. I listened to the God Drums a lot while reading the Lud segments, or Down to the Nightclub or Hang On, Sloopy when reading The Stand. The Stand also made me search for Mother Abagail's hymns, since she knows many that are not sang in Mexico but apparently are famous in the US.

I like wearing some particular clothes a lot, mainly because they are my favorite. Sometimes because they are at the top. My mom had to tell me to wear other shirts, because I repeated them as soon as she washed them. Since she washed clothes often during the week, I sometimes wore the same shirt every two days.

When I like a song, I can hear it all day long, repeating itself over and over.

I like LEGO, but mostly for the minifigures, instead of the building aspect.

When eating beans & cheese burritos, I fold the end of the tortilla so the fillings will not fall off as I eat it.

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.

.....Oh dear gawd!....the whole pizza thing would drive me over the brink.....of course, I can destroy a large pizza in the time it would take for you to finish your slice vivisection....

....ok, one thing I HAVE to do everyday on my way to work is wink at a passing mile marker....it's Mile 34 and 3 + 4 add up to 7 which is a lucky number....
