habits, strange but true

It certainly depends on if I take the direct way or what detour I make.

¥ou afraid an owl will see you?

I keep ice water or a bottle of bubbly water by the bed - or I try to. My bedroom is closer to the kitchen than yours and Diane's is. Little chilly to navigate this time of year though, in the middle of the night.



Peculiar habit - I keep my dog's steel comb by the computer - one more thing to do during critical error parades is brush his coat...

Who knew that dys is such a prude.

What? No hat?

dys didn't mention that because he ALWAYS wears his hat.

And spurs.

No. I would have noticed that.

Walter, you know what Dys wears to bed?



Well, I certainly learn a lot here!

But I'm not going to post what Diane wears

Since "The Incident" I make sure that I'm covered when leaving the bedroom. The Incident was 20 years ago and I still suffer from flashbacks.

Erm....could you back up a bit there, Boomer, I seem to have missed the first part of your story.

Ok already, the topic was how we devolop odd habits, not our bedroom to kitchen attire. The lady Diane always unrolls the napkin and silverware immediately upon sitting down in a resturant and arranges them (fork, knife and spoon in the proper places)

I have discussed The Incident before on A2K but, in short.....

Mr. B had worked late one night. I heard him come in and turn on the TV as was his typical routine. I crawled out of bed, naked as the day I was born and went in to greet my darling.

One thing you should know about me is that I have terrible, terrible vision. I can see only blurry blobs without my glasses.

When I crawled out of bed I neglected to even put on my glasses.

What I thought was TV conversation turned out to be an actual conversation Mr. B was having with some of his co-workers.

I stood in the doorway and chatted a bit before a dumbfounded Mr. B calmly led me back to bed. He's so nice he didn't even tell me what I'd done until the next morning.

Of course, from that moment on I was a ghost at his workplace, never daring to set foot in the place again.

MARVELLOUS!

<stomps foot> That is not odd! I do the same thing...

Quite an appropriate reaction for your 10,000th post, m'Lord.

(Congratulations!)

It's indeed marvellous - boomerang's story and Spanky's 10,000 post.

Congratulations to both! Actually, congratulations would be in order to
Mr. B's co-workers, as they got a rare glimpse of Mrs. B - something
they hadn't bargained for

......and to Spanky for having given us 10,000 times
a smile to our faces.

So true, a priceless story from Boomer, and bumptuous fall from Ellpus for his miracle-post.

Well, a lot of us learned that we should do the removal of napkin and distribute flatware forthwith. I'm sure Miss Hanbury taught us that at the girls' academy.

I'm sort of anti-rule unless I'm at a palace function, or the tablecloths are ironed damask, but that's my own mishugas. Diane and Eva are not expressing an odd habit.





Thinking of my other odd habits...
