I do it by twos and won't go any higher than twenty four and start over making a note of that group and adding them all up Don't do it all the time I guess just when boredom produces absolutely nothing.


OT:
Harry's razors. Switched to it about two months ago and still using the same blade. The replacements are insanely cheap and shipping is free. Enter the code "fms" and its all of twelve bucks for the shaver, blades and shaving cream. I recommend it. Gillette can kiss my *** with their ridiculous blade prices that don't last more than a week. Seriously..... Give it a try. Harrys.com.

I'm thinking Harry's or Dollar Shave Club...

I have this thing where I don't like to see people with the same thing that I have. While logically I know I don't make nor can I spend the kind of money to have one of a kind items, it drives me batty to see something I own, wear, drive, or anything by someone else.

Example one. Had a car accident a few years ago. Lady gets out of her car to check on us. She's wearing a shirt that was actually my favorite at the time. I never wore that shirt again and ended up giving it to charity.

Example two: Bought a new vehicle as a result of that accident. When I first bought it, never saw one. Then not only was I seeing the same make and model of that vehicle everywhere, I was seeing the exact same color, too. lol So I got some rims just to make feel okay about it, since I couldn't NOT drive my only vehicle.

Example three: Recently, I saw a co-worker in a meeting wearing a shirt that I currently have in my closet. I will never wear that shirt again anywhere. lol

My dad threatened to paint his house the same color as mine just to drive me insane. Because he know if he did that, I'd go get my house re-painted even though I don't have the funds to do it. lol

I have to use 3 paper towels in a public bathroom, when they are available, to dry my hands. It just feels like the right number to make sure my hands are really dry.

Somewhat related, I can't stand having wet feet and/or hands. I mean in reasonable places, not like the beach or pool. The worst is getting out of a shower and stepping on a web bathmat. Ugh, I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it. We have bamboo (wooden) bathmats in our bathroom to avoid that exact thing.

I also hate using wet towels. My wife drives me insane because I set out a dry towel the night before to use the next morning, and she never brings one in so she'll just use whatever is there. I can't even count the number of times I've taken a shower, went to grab my towels only to realize that not only is it wet, it's the only one in the bathroom. I think she does it on purpose - slow plan to drive me insane and cash in on my millions.

I can't stand any piece of trash being in my vehicle. It will drive me crazy, I will have to pull over and throw it away.

Also in my wallet the bills have to be facing me when I open, and they must be in descending order of amount. I can't stand it otherwise. Back in college I was a cashier, and I always had to make the bills look nice and neat.

I do well in uniforms actually. Those don't bother me, at all.

It's when I see a co-worker wearing the same pair of shoes that I just bought that drives me batty. Or the random woman walking down the street wearing my favorite comfort dress. Or the fact that at one time all my friends and I seemingly had the same color scheme running in our house. Talk about irked. lol

I'm somewhat like this, but my bills have to be ascending order, meaning dollars first. I was a bank teller for a year and a cashier for a ton of years. Money always had to be sorted a certain way.

Same here! Ascending order, always! And no dog leafs on the bills. They must all be straight and perfect.

This but descending, with bills being the same direction.

Every day I have to use qtips when I get out of the shower because I hate having water in my ears

The sound of knuckles cracking drives me crazy. If anyone around me ever cracks their knuckles, I freak out and have to tell them to stop. I hate coffee. I have all my life. There are keyboard commands from an obsolete word processor from the 80s named WordStar that I insist on using. When I was using Microsoft Word, I programmed the WordStar commands into it. I now use LibreOffice Writer, and I've programmed the WordStar commands into it.

Btw, I see that some others went with cheap shaving. So did I. I got sick and tired of paying up the gazoo to shave. I was using expensive multi-blade systems like the Schick Hydro 5 or the Gillette Sensor Excel. Those are excellent shavers, but they just cost to stinkin' much money. I ordered off for an old-school stainless steel safety razor that uses a single double-edged razor blade. You could have walked into a store in 1940 and bought the thing. It's way less expensive to just buy those replacement blades. You just have to be careful when changing blades. You also have to use old school shaving techniques or your shave will be uncomfortable. You have to shave after a shower so that your beard is soft enough and you have to make sure to shave with the grain, never against it. You also have to adjust the angle to the contours of your face since it has no pivoting head. Shaving old school is no big deal for me because it's how I originally learned anyway. Sometimes I want to shave without showering first. For those occasions, I have a Norelco electric razor. That electric is way cheap once you own it. I rarely have to change its heads because I usually shave with the safety razor. If I were shaving only with the electric, I would have to change its heads probably every six months. Since I don't use it that much, I'll likely get two years out of them.

I don't miss overpaying to shave. It's good to know that those shaving subscription clubs actually do save you money. The other options for shaving cheap are to use an old-school single-blade safety razor and/or an electric. I also know someone who shaves with a really old school razor, one of those non-safety ones from the 19th century that you had to sharpen and are always a murder weapon in horror movies even though hardly anyone owns them anymore. Those are dirt-cheap to shave with, but I'm not brave enough to try to learn to shave with one. I'm afraid of cutting myself. I think there's a reason beards were so popular in the 19th Century. However, the guy I know who uses one of those does fine with it.
