What is a strange fact about you?

I was in the '89 Loma Prieta earthquake (lived in San Francisco)

I was in the '94 Northridge earthquake (lived 5 miles from Northridge)

I've been in 8 car accidents; was always a passenger not the driver

I've broken almost every bone in my body

I've "died" twice. 1st time at age 18 months from viral spinal menegitis, 2nd time from untreated mastoiditis

I think I'm lucky to be alive. :bigsmile:

Wow, I think you are very lucky too. Not so much luck I think but divine intervention. ????

I have a cactus growing in my lung....they say that it wont start sprouting till I am in my 80s. What I think about is them grave robberrs 100+ years down the road who only find a huge casket full of nothing but cacti!

I count pretty much everything but specifically words and letters.
So for example, if someone sends me a birthday card I will count every word and letter in it as I'm reading it and I can do it super fast.

There are certain numbers I don't like and if everything adds up to one of those numbers, I get pretty annoyed.

I also have to add up ANY numbers I see ANYWHERE, number plates when I'm driving, prices in the supermarket, all the numbers of credit card details I'm given at work, the list goes on.

If an ad comes on the TV with a phone number and it changes before I'm done adding up, it really p's me off :laugh:

OMG, me too! Do you prefer it to add up even or odd? I prefer odd for some reason. Oh, and I do this with letters, number, those little dots on the road...everything.

When I do my walking outside, after 20 min my legs get itchy. This doesn't happen on the treadmill, maybe because of temperature change or something? Anyway I hate it and think it is weird and it makes my walks outdoors uncomfortable and not much fun. Anyone else share this weird condition?

I have this, especially worse when I come in from the cold and start to warm up. causes itching like crazy. Search Physical urticaria. See if it might give you answers.:)
Its not as extreme as my dermogrphism. Im literally allergic to touch, pressure. Scratching at an itch can cause my body to be covered in hives and welts. Its cause is unknown, and may magically disappear tomorrow or last a lifetime. For now I'm on allergy meds everyday.

Certain words spoken (or written) will cause me different degrees of pain in my ears. My kids love saying them to torture me.

I can see in a room with no light. My SO says im a bat

If im chopping, sweeping, chewing, going up/down stairs ect. I count,
Example: chopping up and apples and having them have the same amount of slices each makes me happy. Starting stairs with my right and ending on my right makes me happy.
Doing an exercise video and they don't have the same number of reps per side, I get royally pissed.

I cannot stand the thought/sound of 2 nail files rubbing together.

I can not wear turtle necks or chokers,tight scarf... I gag

Biting/touching my knees (or pretending too) will result in me punching you. I give fair warning before hand.

Im sure there's more but that's all that comes to mind lol

When people tell me I'm weird, I take it as a compliment.

I'm terrified of butterflies.

I have dermatographia, so I can write on my skin by scratching it lightly.

I'm addicted to watching Discovery ID, which I now refer to as the murder channel. I have no idea why violent crime fascinates me, as I am more of a lover than a fighter. The fact that I watch it a lot makes my hubby very uneasy though!! BWAAAAAHAHAHA!! lol

I haven't had T.V. access in 15 years

I'm left handed/write with my left hand--but golf, bowl, shoot, do most sports with my right hand

When I see people's name or store/truck signs...I spelled them backwards to see what they say

I love God with ALL of my mind, heart, soul and strength and love my neighbor as I do myself (at least I purposely try to daily)

I LOVE seeing people (like cashiers, waiters/servers, or people I'm interacting with in business) when I see them looking sad or mad or troubled....I LOVE to say "how ya doing happy" or smile at them and ask them how they are doing and feeling today? I LOVE the reaction, it's instant smiles and I see whatever was/is troubling them absolutely disappear and replaced by smiles, and a brighter even taller stance--LOVE that!

I totally embrace being strange and wouldn't want to live life any other way...I'm so anti-follow the crowd/with the majority--I love being the "odd ball":smooched:

my penis crooks both directions
