OK, I am a freak, I'll share...

I won't have birds or pictures of birds inside my home.

I keep a small mirror on a windowsill.  (Chinese superstition - evil won't come in because it will see its self and be scared off)

I can't sleep if there are dirty dishes in the sink.

I refuse to wear black to a wedding.

If I am going to be really late for something, I don't go at all.

Kitkatz-------------- you are a little bit freaky
                       that is a cool thing
                       you are your own person
                       I mean lining up fries-------- that is a little freaky and unique
                      or is it a math project?      teachers--- always in a teachin' frame of mind

I just sort of get in a fry eating fog and go for it.  If my sister or daughters grin at me while I am eating my fries, there it goes.  Cannot eat them then.

Because they are watching me put the fries in order from largest to smallest and I get self conscious about it.

"y can't u eat dem just need to kno"

potatoes are very high in potassium and potassium is not processed  when you are a dialysis patient and if to much is had it can cause heart failure. Hope that is why you where asking...Boxman

oh Kitkatz knows all that health stuff and she still eats her fries in order of shortest to longest
she can not eat if anyone starts watching her
she stops not due to potassium but
due to she is weird in this way
but being weird is a wonderful quality and she should be proud
