Idiosyncrasies

[woodworkingboy]

I have one....I like to talk to stuffed animals. When the wife and I are shopping, and walk down an aisle where stuffed animals are, I enjoy stopping to talk with them. My wife likes listening to the conversation, but gets embarrassed when other people are around. I dunno, my mind just goes off when I see them, all the characters. Strange, huh?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Uhhhhh....

 

[Altissimus]

I speak to Dogs , Cats , and Horses as if they were human .... I also make up my own names ....

 

[SkwerI]

I talk to skwerls and birds.

Feel Better Jay ?

 

[woodworkingboy]

Yes, but before saying so, I was waiting for someone to post about me being a fruitcake.

I once rented a cabin in the woods from a guy named David. His job was maintaining the freights that came through the yard in Watsonville, a real ol' timer railroad guy. When he was working around the cabin, he was always talking to his tools. The guy could hold a five minute conversation with a shovel. It was interesting to observe. If he hit a rock when digging a hole, he'd say, "Oh pshaw to you"! Then it would start. Stuff like, "Some days I'm smarter than you, but today you've got the upper hand", things like that, and his conversation had a lot of old time sayings in it. It was pretty cool, but a little strange.

His wife was kind of a meanie, so I think that he took solace with his tools, and with his
dog, Bo.

You'll have that ! ..... (standard snowmaker answer ... highly applicable in many situations)

I don't find this odd at all .I often have conversations with inanimate objects usually in the profane language .My wife thinks I'm a tad off in the noggin,if she only knew for sure .

Saws often start better after some sweet talk

 

[woodworkingboy]

I see I'm among like people here, that is so cool

 

[Al Smith]

Saws often start better after some sweet talk

They get the idea when I tell them they might end up as an engine block in a Toyota if they don't straighten up and fly right ,by George .:what:

 

[CurSedVoyce]

That or the old Truck
I know my Ford would hate to be a Toyota

 

[Al Smith]

I've threatened a few trucks also .

I've been thinking of starting a thread just like this one Jay. I have a few myself. The one I've been most bothered by lately is wind. I friggin' hate wind. A little breeze is ok, but not wind.:roll:

 

[sawinredneck]

I talk to tools, equipment and vehicles.But even I have come to observe this one as weird.
There are times when I am out in the woods alone, cutting, hauling back and forth to the trailer etc. that I find myslef breaking out singing "All by myself". It's rather disturbing at times

 

[woodworkingboy]

Hmmmm, Dave, where does it get you, in the eyes...or allergy?

 

[woodworkingboy]

What's weird about that, Andy, as long as you don't sing it in public too

 

[Dave Shepard]

I think it goes back to my leaf blowing days, or whenever I try to put a tarp on something. Wind noise, especially in a vehicle, also pisses me off. I'm not going to tell you too many of my neurosis', you might start to think I'm a bit strange, or something.:roll:

 

[woodworkingboy]

Neurosis is a normal part of life, everybody has them. Oh wait, have to go, my little stuffed penguin is calling.

 

[sotc]

I type to strange people on the computer...

Yup, same here. My own wind is tolerable, usually. But wind from other's... bleagh!

 

[woodworkingboy]

 

[sawinredneck]

I don't care for wind either Dave!! You get that way living in KS though!

My sister, older than me, is still afraid of "Jodi" from Amity ville Horror. That is always a neat one to pull out of the bag when she is being bitchy

 

[woodworkingboy]

I don't particularly like heavy rain, it bothers me a bit, gives a slight foreboding feeling. Perhaps from Bible studies in my youth

 

[MasterBlaster]

I love a lightening/thunderstorm... just as long as I don't lose power.
