I count things unnecessarily. For example, taking clothes out of the washer or dryer I silently count each item. I asked an OCD expert about it and he said it's just a quirk, not OCD.
I learned to make my own egg nog. I can do the curl the tongue thing too. One of my favorite cars was a Mercedes 500S, another a dark green, 1972 BMW 2002 . I had two VW beetle convertibles, one 1973 red, one 1979 yellow, not at the same time. I've lived in 10 states and moved 26 times. I like cooking and baking. I wrote 4 books, working on a fifth. Kept a flock of chickens, had two miniature donkeys and built a large barn. Had 4 different careers over a 60 year span of working full time. Became a great grandfather a year ago.
Those are all wonderful and good attributes, Gary, and God bless you! I shared odd and weird things about myself and I’m asking you to do the same. Please?
May be little known, not necessarily weird. My recent post, “Confession of a Miscreant” more on the odd side as a deviation from what would be expected…..
I just read “Confession of a Miscreant” and I agree, I’d have to place the story on the border between little known and odd. I bow to you for finally ‘fessing up. Things like that from basically good boys are damaging to keep buried inside. It was a great story, Gary!
It really has more to do with a constant tracking as to whether the deck was loaded with large or small valued cards. Pretty easy once you practice it. D

That’s a perfect example of an odd personal fact! Thank you for playing along, Dave.

Gracias, mi amiga!
de nada, mi amigo
CJ, That is quite a list.
I have one for you - I was once thrown out of a casino for counting cards at a blackjack table. D
WOW, you were? You must have an above average memory to even try and do that, Dave. More power to you!

Still, that takes talent and memory —my hat is off to you.
