Quirks..

Do you ever wonder where we get some of our quirks?

You know..

I've got a few that really tend to annoy the wife.

Here's one for example:

I HATE doing laundry. I don't know why. I mean, it's easy. You put the sorted clothes into the machine, the machine does the work, and you toss said batch into the dryer, then fold and put away.

Easy, peasy.

But I honestly HATE to do it.

However, when I do this most heinous of chores, I tend to go overboard.

My wife just likes to have colors and whites sorted. That's it. Colors with colors, and whites with whites. Nothing more.

Me? Oh no..

Colors go with colors, unless they're jeans, which have their own pile, and towels which have another. Oh, not to mention delicates, and I tend to keep underwear in a pile all by itself.

So I don't just have TWO piles of laundry.. No, I usually have 5-6 piles compared to the two that the wife has.

Why do I do this? What caused me to hate this job, but be obsessively anal-retentive about it?

I don't know. I can't seem to explain it. It's just me.

There are others... Trust me.

I mean, how many folks do you know who come home from work and can disappear into the bathroom for at least an hour?

My wife knows one.

Heck, he's done more reading there than all through his school and college years!

Why?

Dunno. But heck, it's me!

I'm going to sit back, and take it easy for a bit, but I'm going to open up a kind of Q&A session.

Email me questions you want to know about.. I don't care if they're serious or not, and I'll come up with some kind of answer for you.

It may be serious, but don't positively count on it, ok?? I can't make a promise like that!

You can send all emails to jormengrund@hotmail.com, and I'll make sure to file them and answer them as I get time.

You have a great summertime, and I'll talk with you all later!

Five Fun Facts for Friday (Now to be known as 4F Friday)

1. I can't stand Spinach. I've tried and tried to eat my leafy green goodness, but I just can't appreciate the stuff like Popeye. Maybe I'm trying too hard?

2. I love animals. When I was younger, I used to somehow attract animals to me like a fur magnet. I could walk three blocks from school, and in that time have two cats, a dog, and some kind of hamster follow me home. (true story!)

3. I would really like to lose about 80 pounds. When I got out of the service, I was 275 pounds of muscle. Now? Not so much. My ideal weight would be around 220, so you do the math!

4. I'd love to be able to balance my play time and family time perfectly. Me? I'm an all-or-nothing type of fella, so I tend to obsess when I'm doing something. If I'm with the family, then I will either dive right in, and focus everything on them, or I'll try to find any excuse to do whatever it is that has been on my mind. If I'm playing a game, I'll focus totally on that.

5. I'm not superstitious, but I don't like tempting fate, either. Yeah, I could really care less about things, but if I had the option, I wouldn't press my luck. There are times where I don't care, and I'll do something stupid just to see what will happen. Then there are the times where I tend to walk VERY carefully, and make sure that I don't bring down some nasty Karma or Juju on myself. I don't know why I do this, I just do..


Now, your turn! Give me some fun facts about yourself, and see how we relate!

Just some thoughts to make your day...

I read these, and thought you'd get a chuckle..

A train station is where a train stops..

A bus station is where a bus stops...

And this is my Work Station!


A blonde woman is driving down the road. She notices that she’s low on gas, so she stops at a gas station. While she’s pumping her gas, she notices that she locked the keys in the car. So when she goes inside to pay, she asks the attendant for a hanger so that she can attempt to open the door herself.
She returns outside and begins to jimmy the lock. Ten minutes later, the attendant comes out to see how the blonde is faring.
Outside the car, the blonde is moving the hanger around and around while the blonde inside the car is saying, “A little more to the left…a little more to the right!…”

A few people are sitting in a bar when one guy says, “My name is Larry, and I am a SNAG.”
Another guy says, “What’s that?”
The first guy says, “That means I am a Single, New Age Guy.”
Another one says, “My name is Gary, and I am a DINK.
A girl asks, “What’s that?”
He says, “That means I am a Double Income, No Kids.”
A lady says, “That’s nice. My name is Gertrude, and I am a WIFE.”
Larry says, “A wife? What’s a wife?”
She says, “That means, ‘Wash, Iron, Fuck, Etc.”

Marsha completed four weeks of dental restoration with Dr. Morris Cohen the dentist. She confided to her best friend that she had fallen in love with her dentist …and she was going to propose to him.
Her friend said, ” Marsha you’re 34 years old, you’re beautiful, you have dozens of men who adore you. Why this dentist?”
“Because he is the First man that ever said to me…. SPIT, don’t SWALLOW.”

When design engineers get together they often talk about football.
When Middle management meet, they talk about tennis.
When top management meet they talk golf.
Conclusion: The higher you climb in the corporate ladder the smaller your balls become!



Anyway, you all have a GREAT day!
