Does anyone else have neurotic tendancies? And if so, what.

I was a restaurant cashier once & picked up that habit. Cashiering job was 40 yrs ago,

but still today I like to have all bills in my wallet facing in the same direction!

 
I have a particular mug and an Italian stove top coffee maker. When I travel, they come with me. smileys/smile.gif

 
Perhaps this is a good place to ask...how do you all organize your spices? I've struggled for years.

 
I tell people who come to my booth at craft shows...

to pick up mugs and "try them on". If it is not comfortable to hold, you will stow it in the cabinet and not use it.

As for the microwave, glazes have metals in them and some will react in different microwaves. You need to test them with a cup of water in them, for a minute in your oven. Test the handle carefully. If it gets hot, then you need to use a mitt to remove the cup after heating.

I have not found any of mine to get too hot to hold after nuking...just saying!

 
I recently noticed that I hold my breath when I plunge my french press - I'm not quite sure what I'm

anxiously anticipating.

 
But it sounds so cold, and so lonely. And how much tape does a tiled shower take?

 
Maybe you watched too many Road Runner cartoons? Pushing the plunger only meant one thing.

 
Mistral... oh, gosh... I hope you are talking about someone else (more inside)

I just realized if it's a confession, "I" am the one being very rude to you!

OH, me and my big mouth! Or would it be too fast finger? smileys/wink.gif)))))

 
It's not that I'm not neurotic, I am, but I'm too absent-minded and disorganized to maintain any of

the idiosyncrasies described here. I keep the dishes clean but pots and pans are lucky to get washed the same week they got used. If they end up in the same cupboard they started off in, it's a miracle.

I think you would all love my food but most of you would cry, if not die, if you saw the disorder it was prepared in.

 
I think I remember that too. One of our fellow swappers here is in the business.....

...of technical entertainment and he told me to tell my son that the professor has it right. He's lived his professional life that way for decades.

Yes, there's another for me. I see fridges hinged on the wrong side on TV & I want to shout at them.

 
I still use my old 2-tiered spinning shelves. Big things on top and in the centre. I refill the

old spice cans that nestle into each other to stack. Unfortunately, the big letters on the side have disappeared now on the new cans with the contents named only on the front of the can....major thoughtless design flaw. I prefer glass jars but there is no version of them that saves as much space as these cans. Some square jars I picked up in France are so much more practical for space consideration.
