Weird obsessions you have (no, not those kinds)

Snorkels actually go straight back, perpendicular to your face (so you can look down while you swim), which keeps the snorkel under the blanket. Maybe there are better snorkels that allow you to adjust the angle, but the one I bought didn't work.

You just need a case of sleep apnea, and then you can get a cpap machine which will allow you to sleep with your head covered with blankets.

Here's hoping!

Every couple nights I have nightmares of being covered with bugs. I've only ever remembered it happening once or twice, but my girlfriend is witness to every single incident. Apparently sometimes I get out of bed and try to take the blanket with me. She puts me back in bed and tells me I'll be okay, and I calm down. So strange.

My neighbor is obsessed with his car. He gets home, and as he is getting out, he locks the doors by pressing the button on the door. Then he'll walk around his car and knock off any snow, and wipe off any wetness or dust with a rag that he keeps in his car.

Then, he locks his car with the remote. He presses the button twice, just to make sure. He gets to the front door of his house and he locks his car again. Twice. Then he gets into his house, and looks out the front window, and locks his car twice more. I wouldn't be surprised if he does it when he gets to work too.

I'd have to look at his car again to see what it is, but its an SUV. Either an Equinox or an Edge or something along those lines. So it's not like he's driving something exotic.

I'm the same way...all of my books at home are perfectly organized (by type, author, and size) and in perfect condition.

That's one of the worst parts about working in a library (for me). I love getting new books in, but then they go out for one circulation and they come back with spines bent, pages bent, mysterious stains on the pages (don't want to know!!), pages ripped, etc.

It makes me cringe every time I see it, haha.

For a great prank, I plan on changing the length of the timer so that the lights turn off after about 1 minute. I'm sure I'll catch a few people with their pants down (pun intended).

I always have to drink booze with my left hand. For over 25 years I have been a member of the "Buffalo Club" with friends. If any of us observe a member drinking with the right hand, we shout "Buffalo" and the offending member has to down the entire drink asap.

I eventually developed a defence. If I get "buffaloed", I immediatley order a round of drinks for everyone - this way we all stay equally inebriated.

If I touch or scratch my right ear, I have to then scratch my left ear to "even it out". However, that means that I then need to scratch my left ear a 2nd time - then back to the right ear - at that point all is good.

The same applies for touching or scratching my right arm, leg, or even part of my face. I need to 'even things out'.

My in-laws inducted me into that same club. I have to consciously try to drink things with my right hand as the fear of being buffaloed runs deep.

That's why God gave us two balls.

TV volume always needs to be an even number. Always 12 for Flames games and preferably even numbers that Flames players wear.

When I was writing my MCAT, I always microwaved things that ended in 45 seconds.

Okay...so..when you guys are talking about fans, are you talking ceiling fans? I always have a ceiling fan on in my room but not for the sound (it doesn't make noise), but because I like to be cool when I sleep- I'll turn off the heat in the winter and open the windows and just throw more blankets on, but the ceiling fan has to be on at all times- do you mean like.. a fan that oscillates or blows like a regular fan?

And.. the snorkel thing.... I wonder if it would help with snoring.. Maybe I should get one for hubby?

Just occurred to me as I was eating supper tonight...I always eat pizza with a fork.

[Cheerio]

Whenever I'm going somewhere and paying with cash, I always check how much I have multiple times, for fear of the embarrassment that goes with not having enough money for something.

My guess is he was once a victim of a theft from his vehicle. I've had my car broken into and now I make sure I lock it multiple times. Not to that extent, but a good 2-3 times, just to be sure. The funny thing was my car was locked when it was broken into, so it wouldn't have mattered.
