IOW...interesting odd whatchamacallit....
um,...mousie? yes, mousie?...I don't know the answer. Me needer!
IOW = In Other Words

This is another one of my quirks I guess. Instead of using existing acronyms (I.E. for "in other words") I make up my own acronyms! IOW - no one knows what I'm talking about - LOL.

I have to bite and M&M in half before I pop it in my mouth.

After I have a soft drink I can't resist chewing the end of the straw... I don't do it in restaurants but at home I go to it. I picked this up when I quit smoking many years ago. Annoying but small price to pay.

My Mother put pickle juice in just about everything... it just adds a really nifty little zing, subtle but zippy.

For some reason, he's scared to death of the sprinkler (& also the wet grass). Right now he's so obsessed with the moles in our yard that he couldn't be bothered to chase anything... LOL! Here's Leo, listening to or smelling or hearing or something, moles...

Sounds like we are at a livestock place, lol.
Except I've got more than a quarter, but who's measuring anyway?
I would measure but I don't think the tape would reach all the way around! LOL!

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!
I resemble those remarks. Yes, my knee says "OK, I'm done. Fall down now" way more often than I like!

Talk about being dizzy.....my chiropractor did the EPLY maneuver on me yesterday. This puts the stones in your ears back in place. I felt better yesterday but today I can barely walk. I'm going to look for something in my allergy meds to see if anything will help me.
Sweet pickle relish and/or juice make for the yummiest deviled eggs.
I went to a fundraiser tuesday night with 200 some other women. During the drawing for the raffle a bat start flying around. A big brown bat. Women were screaming. It was very exciting for about 15 minutes until 1 of the 3 men there (working) went up in the balcony and knocked it down with a broom.

well I thought of another one - I quite often would scrape my face with my fingernail while sleeping. Usually would NOT wake up while doing it, just see it in the mirror in the morning. Did you ever try to draw blood with your fingernail? It is NOT easy. Don't know why it wouldn't wake me up, or why I did it.

Now I wear wrist splints for carpal tunnel every night and it keeps my hands away from my face. However one night I scraped a mole off my shoulder while sleeping, Man did that bleed. The dermatologist was nice enough to take off the whole thing for me, she had never seen anything like it.

WAY back when I was in college, I was told that placing a stamp upside down on the envelope was a signal to the recipient that you loved them.
