  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

My DH is hardly a neat freak, usually quite the opposite, but he insists that his cds and dvds are the right way up in their cases and that the canned food in the pantry have their labels facing front.

I'm a neat freak so maybe that's my weirdness; I'll have to ask him.

That's not unusual - my work socks are dark avacado or sage green, and they bleed!

My fiancee is mostly normal, but she is a weirdo about germs - like to the Nth degree.

my husband puts ketchup on almost everything... is that weird?

If it is then my Dad is just as bad, if not worse. When I was a child he introduced me to the delights of salad cream with cauliflower. I gave it up, it just doesn't go down well in polite company.

The medical related weirdness reminds me of one of mine.

I had one of my pneumothorax attacks...basically an air sac in my lung burst and I had trouble breathing and was in a good bit of pain. My girlfriend, now wife, picked me up from work and was driving me to the hospital in the rain. The rain slacked off but she was still driving with the wipers running and they were making that awful *squeaking* sound I hate.
I sucked up enough breath to tell her in a choked voice "you know, it isn't raining that hard."

My hubby mixes all the food on his plate into one big mess and the slathers it with condiments (sour cream, hot sauce - whatever goes with what's on the plate). It looks disgusting...especially to a food separatist like me.

He'll sing and dance sometimes as he does chores. Lately, he's taken to making duck sounds (quacks) when he first comes home from work. He... quacked a greeting to me when I called him on the cell phone this morning. When I heard that I thought he was crying, really distraught. I said "Ohh...come home, babe." Lol, he didn't know what I was talking about. "Right, you're doing the quacking thing again." It may sound very weird, but I've found the quacking to be endearing, funny even. Like he's calling his family or something

He tells me I'm the weirdest when I entertain the kids - speaking in accented voices and such.

Indeed!

Oh my. I'd faint if I saw someone do that to food! lol

But as my grandfather was fond of saying, "it all goes to the same place!"

The quack thing sounds funny. My dad can quack and sound like Donald Duck and talk like him too. Can you guys get a feel for what kind of upbringing I had?


Hee Hee oh my gosh I married into weirdness and it's rubbing off. My husband has to sleep with 5 pillows and I wake up and he's either sideways on the bed or hanging off the edge! I fight for a pillow!
My wife does that! I end up with the ratty pillow with all the lumps. I told her yesterday I was going out to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get another pillow and she was like "wait until we get a coupon in the mail!"
So I have to wait!

Yep, it's the Donald Duck quack. Yanno, I think some men realize that just their sheer size (height) can intimidate the kiddies (as is the case with my hubby, anyway). Their heart, though, makes them irresitable. I have a feeling your dad was a fun guy to grow up with

And the hot sauce/condiment thing... he does that nearly ALL the time, ick.

Another one of my strange traits is that I am a cover hog. Somehow, throughout the night, I will steal all of hubby's covers and my portion of the blankets end up on the floor. He's woken up in the fetal position, huddling just to keep warm too many times, poor guy.

Ok, ok, since APPARENTLY it's normal to obsessively seperate clothing that is ALL going to be CLEAN in the end ANYWAY , a new example of my husband's weirdness: he sleeps wrapped up like burrito, with a hood pulled over his head. Only his mouth pops out. Its kind of adorable.

My weirdness? Apparently it's not normal to eat hotdogs cold straight from the fridge! :o

My husband does that...he also will eat corn-on-the-cob cold. We went to visit his great-uncle's farm once. At dinner time we were all told to go "pick our own". I watched as my WH took a couple to have with dinner, then took another, husked it and ate it right there.
