Utenzi Quirks:

Actually the difficult thing here is limiting it to 6. I've got so many quirks that I could come up with 6 dozen easy.

1. I like to peer out of windows before I go outside just in case there's enemies lurking.

2. I hate to cook with meat that's been defrosted but it doesn't bother me when other people do it.

3. I hate to have my pillows touch the floor--though Lee is even worse about that than I am.

4. I'm a little obsessive about washing my hands to the tune of maybe 12-15 times a day.

5. I don't like having other people see me so as a result I tend to do things at odd times of the day.

6. My natural day seems to be around 30 hours long so it's hard for me to sleep at night. My wake/sleep cycle changes drastically every weekend as a result.

Chris and Lee might want to add a few more items to this list--but since I have commenting control enabled, they might not get a chance to.

Always watch for lurking spiders ready to pounce on the wayward pillow! :)

Spiders are our friends, silly GG. Cats, on the other hand...

I'm a handwasher, too, but not as many times as you (I don't have time! LOL).

Ain't that strange to follow those rules?


Well, I ditto with ya on number three. I am, too, picky when it comes to pillows.I do not mind them on a clean floor, but I will wash the sheet(sp?) afterward.

Best,
Maryam.

The first thing that popped into my mind regarding your quirks isn't there... LOL

Number 5 would definitely be on my list. I doubt that surprises you, but the extent of it might.

I'm not really fussy about pillows, though I don't leave them on the floor for too long. Critters tend to claim them as their own. But I'll toss them on the floor while I make the bed or if I decide to lie on the floor, I'll grab a pillow to take with me. Go figure!

I don't like to eat defrosted meat either. I always buy ours fresh. And if I do have to do say hamburgers at a cookout I have to do it the old fashioned way. Microwaved defrosting of meat is so gross. And I am a hand washer myself, not so much when I am here all day but when I am out. WHoa yeah. At the airports I stay wrapped in antibacterial goo.

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h...

dogs and cancer

Image
Like the old commercials for Fruit Loops, a Kelloggs' breakfast cereal , would say: "A nose, it always knows". While that commercial was referring to Toucan Sam, I'm just using this as a lead in to talk about how sensitive dog noses are and how they can be used, perhaps, to detect cancer. There have been a number of mentions of this in the media recently. Here's two items from CBC news this year. One story that ran on 60 Minutes and another from the Early Show . Both of these stories refer to a study run by Dr. Bob Gordon of the Scripts Clinic in La Jolla which used urine samples of cancer patients and healthy people to determine how well dogs could detect differences in odor between the two. That study resulted in the conclusion that a trained dog could detect cancer to a degree that was 3 times greater than could be accounted for by mere chance. Pretty good but not great. A much more interesting study has been just released: In the small world of people who tra...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...
