No, put I put ketchup & sweet pickle juice in my chili. Is that weird? My DH & kids think so. And crackers. I have to have 4505 Premium brand saltine crackers crumbled up in my chili. Or oyster crackers.

you know...I never would have thunk to add sweet pickle juice to my chili, but I have a feeling it's very good.

I can't decide right now... the water is on in the backyard. There are bats out there. Will it kill the yard to let the sprinkler run all night? I can't go out with the bats. I wonder if I could teach my dog to turn the hose on & off? Maybe if I tied a pork chop to the spigot or something?

I hope your dog is not clumsy or he'd be chasing the sprinkler all night :D

Since it gets so cold here in the winter, I tell myself all those widdle pieces are insulation (kinda like I'm carrying around in my nether regions -- are those also called fat quarters? When your hind quarters are fat?).

yeah, yeah, lol, I get it...fat hind quarters.
Sounds like we are at a livestock place, lol.
Except I've got more than a quarter, but who's measuring anyway? :eek:

Yep! Door has to be open so I can see if something is coming!

you know, some guy on the radio was talking today about these women hearing something in their house etc. and going to see what it is, and how they used to jump out the window and get out of Dodge!
I think he has something there! :shock: :thumbup:

I hate soggy bread and so ask the waitress to not give a pickle spear with my sandwich; nothing worse than a leaky spear messing up my bread! I have a "sheet" thing too - it must envelope the blanket or bedspread. I have a method of eating M&M's too. I empty the package onto a flat surface and separate them into groups by color. Then, whatever pile has the smallest number, I eat the larger piles down to that number. Once all piles have the same number I eat one of each color round-robin style until they are all gone. Anything plugged in must go in the lowest socket first leaving the top socket "open" for a future plug in. This one is really weird - I "rehearse" a conversation I plan on having with someone and say the sentences out loud. IOW - I talk to myself!

doesn't everybody eat their M&M's that way? Is there another way?
I don't like soggy bread, but I don't eat much bread, period.
Solves a lot of problems, lol....just not fat hind qu...uh, never mind, snort...
So, what is IOW, pray tell?
Well, let's see now, mousie...in case of weirdness?
IOW...interesting odd whatchamacallit....
um,...mousie? yes, mousie?...I don't know the answer. Me needer! :p

I should have one in all those places: I am NOT a neat eater!
I'm also quite a klutz.
I am always dinging or denting my body and can't always remember how when I see all the bruises.
I walk into stuff and the last few years I have been falling a lot!
Anybody relate? I'd say we could get together, but we'd probably knock each other down!:D

Those nests are extremely valuable because the Chinese use it in their specialty soup!!!! Ewwww on eating bird nest soup *no idea what they really call it*!

oh man! that's gross!
Let's spit in it, sit in it, sh...lol, in it and sell it to the soup store owners and they'll call it "special"! :D

When placing a stamp on an envelope, I place it upside down. Don't know why, I've just always done it that way.
