Quirks (A to Z)


It's been brought to my attention, maybe a couple of times, that I might just have a couple quirks. Figured I'd go ahead and get them out there. And, yeah, I'm a vegetarian animal rescuer. I get "but you rescue animals.." or "but you're a vegetarian..."all the time. 

Let's just ease ya in here....I'd rather see 4am than 4pm. 

Nature! Ew! It can be pretty but only with a nice thick piece of glass between us at all times. I'm all into concrete, steel and glass.

some foods just should not break the rules and join with others.

Pumpkins do not belong in pie. Neither do lemons, peaches, strawberries, blue or blackberries. Apples if they must.

Coffee is disgusting but coffee ice cream is my favorite.

Cheese really doesn't belong in any dessert. I don't mind it sliced with apples. Cheesecakes of any kind are just shudder inducing. 

Critter no-nos

Turtles are okay. But frogs, lizards, snakes, toads are so not.

Fish are okay in tanks but not in the ocean, ponds or lakes.

Worms are a no.

Dogs, cats, mice, rats are all fine. Guinea pigs freak me out a bit but I'm okay with them. Rabbits are not okay. They move way too quick. Ferrets are iffy. They just move too weird.

Most birds are completely off limits. But I put out bird feeders and baths. I'm okay with Pigeons and flamingos, though I've never met a flamingo in person. Geese are scary. I don't know about swans. Chickens and Turkeys but only if they don't touch me. I love ducks. Seagulls are mean and anti pigeon so we're not too friendly.

I like Lady bugs and rollie pollies.

No butterflies, moths, crickets and grasshoppers. Butterflies have no concept of personal space.

Textures

Grits, Cream of Wheat, Oatmeal, Cottage Cheese. Oh goodness no! I just can't do the texture of them at all. They totally creep me out.

Not a texture but lemon curd. Just cannot do it. What a terrible name for something!

Okay. I think that's all for now. I know there are some others but I think I've made myself look special enough for today.
