I keep 3 or 4 different types of cheese in the fridge door. About 2 or 3 times a day, I have to stop by and cram a slice in my face like a 5 year old.
I always eat the items on my plate in the same order. I start with what I enjoy least and work my way up to my favorite by the end.
I always brush my tongue after my teeth until I gag. I just have to get all the way back there.
I use the same single edge disposable Bic razor for YEARS. Granted, I don't shave very often lately. Once or twice a week. I shave immediately after a hot shower when the whiskers are well softened and I never use soap or shaving cream, just hot water. I shave once a year with the straight razor that should have gone to my deceased brother.
I always have to turn off everything in the car before the key. Stereo, climate, cruise control, etc.
I always order the same dish at a new Mexican joint for "evaluation". Chile Relleno.
I gave up underwear after my first 10 mile road march in the army. Full battle load in the swamps of Georgia with 95 degrees and 95% humidity will ensure you have no inner thighs left. Some even resorted to panty hose for friction control. I could never embrace that measure...
When I find an item that fully suits my needs, I now buy a life time supply, if possible. As we've learned with tobacco, it often disappears without warning.
For instance, I have about 40 new pairs of Spanish military surplus cotton/wool socks in reserve. I've been using the same 6 pairs for over 5 years and some are FINALLY beginning to wear through.
My cursive is completely illegible. I only use it for my signature. After studying drafting in high school, I learned to print well and quickly, and that's how I write.
My wife and I watch the movie Groundhog Day every year, on Groundhog Day. It's a standing date.

A good soak in the bath after a hard day working (back when I did).
My first taste of bourbon at 10PM every night.
A slice of bread (with butter of course) almost straight from the oven when the missus used to make her own, absolute heaven.
Not really unusual I suppose, maybe because I'm so normal
Regards,
Jay.

I kept them pastured.
It would be darned uncomfortable sleeping in a pasture
I could get stepped on---or wet if it's being irrigated, LOL!
Food porn, watched new series on Netflix called Street Food USA (they have Asia also), had a fresh tomato sandwich, just mayo. Making dirty rice (rice dressing) tonight to go with grilled pork chops.
Reading a new cookbook. I am a sick person, I need professional help.
Cheers

This year has been the year of the tomato sandwich for me. Very nice crop in Grainger county, just east of me!
Raising livestock from newborn to production age makes me feel a sort of pride I don't usually get from many other activities. I also like to make hand carved Harry Potter-esque wands to sell.
I find pulling weeds around the house/garden oddly satisfying............. It's like murder, but legal. I can't stand the fact that those weeds are taking up the fertilizer I put down. Crabgrass, Spurge, Yellow Nutsedge............. those ones really piss me off...........
You can't just throw something like that out there without pictures!
You should start a new thread and share this with us!
And be sure to include instructions on how to use them!
I spoiled my first colt by treating him like you mentioned. Seemed the friendly thing to do at the time. But he became dull to my presence, tuning me out, and it took a lot more energy to train him subsequently.
A horse that's sensitive to your presence is a real joy by comparison. Less effort, more natural. Like they treat each other. Wild horses are especially nice to work with in this regard.
Yeah, I am in this camp.
Razor blades? I have about 3 lifetimes worth.
Williams mug shaving soap, enough for any quantity of grandson's to inherit.
My dedicated grey merino wool work sock's I have about 15 pairs.
pipe cleaners, set for life.
I also like to be out sitting down in the sunshine without my sunglasses and just squint.
I forgot to mention that I save all my dottle to use on the 19th of May to paint my face with like Marlow in Apocalypse Now. I generally go about my day as usual until I get home where I then blindfold myself and thwack a water buffalo pinata with a machete. Often, all the kids from the neighborhood come by to fight over the cans of spam which shower down from it.

This is probably mine. I have well over 100 double edge, single edge and straight razors in my collection. Add to that upwards of twenty brushes and soaps. I could very easily shave with a different combination of razor, blade, brush and soap every day for several years and not repeat the same setup twice.
Being a collector is a sickness...but I like what I like. Outside of pipes and tobacco I'd say shaving is my only other collection. Although I'm pretty well through accruing more shave related items. Stuck on pipes and tobacianna now.
Nothing really unusual for me that I can think of (admit publicly) but sometimes when I'm feeling kinda low.
Sometimes when I feel low.
I call another brother.
On the telephone.
I'm talking, about, Maceo..
He then blows his horn, but he doesn't play me no trash - he plays me some popcorn.

This is mine. 14.5 inch Spruce. I custom make these to sell and have people take the wizardingworld.com wand quiz. I then walk through my woods and find suitable wood then carve and varnish. Sometimes, if I'm feeling creative, I'll carve designs into them.
