Your Anal Obsessions

[w8m8]

What I feel is almost exclusively on the balls of my feet.  Sucks.  I was trying to massage it a bit and it hurt so bad I almost cries (almost, since i'm a manly man)

any relief yet Migs ?


I'd try some Metatarsal arch supports if it's continued

on 10-12 ibuprofens a day.  I will look into that.

It is necessary for some people to wear shoes indoors. For example my wife who has diabetes and balance issues due to a variety of health problems, wears her shoes in the house both to protect her feet and to help her with balance. Since she rarely goes out, her shoes are pretty clean.

I am with you regarding folks pushing their chairs in when they get up. It bothers me too when chairs are left out. However, I am unusually picky about everything being in its place which, no doubt, annoys my wife sometimes.

fair do's with situations like your wifes .. I just think most folks don't understand the amount of filth that is on their shoes that they pay no mind to and track through a home

I'm so anal about the chair thing it even irks me in restaurants ... I have a place I frequent that has killer homemade soup on their salad bar .. I ( on my way to the salad bar ) will push people chairs in that they leave out  .. .I don't get it .. these idiots know others are there and will be walking up to the salad bar as well but they still just push themselves away from the table and leave the chair so all they have to do is sit their lazy ass back down when they get back to the table

jerks

It does seem as if many people are completely oblivious to their own actions or lack there of. I like to think they are so overwhelmed by their own issues that they have no ability to think about others....but then, maybe they are just plain rude and inconsiderate.

Before I retired, a coworker who workeswing-shiftft, would use my desk in the evening. That wouldn't have been a problem except he'd leave a mess and make changes to my computer. Finally, I kicked him out of my office. I arranged for him to have is own desk and computer in a storeroom where he could make all the mess he wanted. Good thing too, because he was caught downloading and saving inappropriate files (porn) on his computer. It is crazy what some folks do at work....especially considering we worked for a K-12 school district. He lost computer privileges for three years....which just made more work for me because I had to do his work which required the use of a computer, such as ordering supplies, submitting work orders and keeping various logs. Aside from being somewhat stupid, he is a nice guy. He still works for the district. Hopefully, he learned his lesson and stays on the straight and narrow these days.

And how about when weight machines aren't square w/the wall at the gym?  I had to move the leg extension a few inches to the right the other day before I could use it.

I've been known to do that kind of thing too. Some would call such behavior obsessive.

We don't wear shoes around the house, but we don't ask guests to remove them when entertaining either.  I just scrub the floor the next day. If it's really yucky out, most guests will just automatically take their shoes off.  It would be really embarrassing for friends to go home with dirty socks.

My husband came downstairs one time wearing his shoes and I was like WTF?  You take your shoes off when you come in the house, take 'em upstairs and put them in the closet.  Do you think there's little elves up there cleaning them off?

You might consider getting one of those shoe cases for your front hall or by the back door. These are common in Europe/Germany and they are usually kept near the front door. This way one's shoes are at the ready when they go out for the paper, the mail or whatever.

We have a tiled floor in the entrance hall. I generally take my shoes off as I come in and leave them on the tile unless we are having company. We use our front door a lot more often than the back door most of the year except in the summer when we hang out on the back patio more.

I have never asked company to remove their shoes. Frankly, although we have a very nice house and a lifetime collection of fine items like Persian and Oriental rugs....nothing is that precious. In fact the dogs track in dirt all the time on the wool carpeting. I am forever vacuuming their mess up. They don't put their toys away either....just like kids. LOL.

Soda has been known to take the toy she was playing with and putting it back in the toy basket before choosing another...probably a fluke though.

Do you keep a sheet over your duvets?

I use an old lightweight bedspread on the bed to cover the duvet. Danny sheds like crazy no matter how often he's brushed. Lucy has really short spiky hair like a porcupine. Her hair sticks into things while Danny's floats around like a big black dust bunny. Frankly, dogs are dirty (not that they can help it). It is a good thing they are like children only more loving or nobody would keep them. I only have to worry about my bed. Although the dogs will go to bed with my wife, they won't stay there. The minute I am in bed, they want up. Go figure....at least somebody loves me. Guess I shouldn't complain. Lucy is a Rat Terrier. Rat Terriers burrow. She sleeps under the covers, usually curled up in the small of my back. I wash my sheets a couple of times a week. Danny is a Lab and Irish Wolfhound mix. Fortunately, he likes to sleep at the foot of the bed on top of the covers.

Danny delights in sneaking Lucy's favorite toy outside. There have been occasions, like when I get the mail with the dogs, that Danny managed to take her toy all the way down to the curb and then he drops it. If he could laugh, he'd surely be doing that. Unfortunately, Lucy cannot return the favor since Danny's good with any toy that squeaks. He plays them like an instrument.

Danny is a really funny guy. When I decide to take them for a walk, he gets really excited. It takes him about a minute or two of jumping around like a nutcase before he can calm himself down enough to let me put his collar on him. Although I usually walk them off leash because they obey voice commands perfectly, I take their leashes with me just in case I need them. If I don't get the leash into my pocket quickly enough, Danny grabs the handle end of the leash in his mouth as if to tell me that he is the one taking me for a walk on the leash. After a block or so, he finally lets it go.

Have you ever bought bio-degradable poop bags? They are horrible. If you don't use them up fast enough they start to degrade while still in the box. I finally threw them out the other day. The new poo bags are hot pink and perfumed. Now if I could just figure out how to attach the bags to the dogs butts everything would be perfect.

No to the poop bags.  I scoop their poop into coffee cans.

Soda is excellent off-leash and terrible on-leash.  She just gets crazy and squeals because it means we are doing something very out of the ordinary.

Aren't coffee cans a little bulky to carry with you when you take Soda on a walk or to the dog park?

At home I use a pooper scooper. The poop goes out with the garbage. The other choice is to bury it which is more work.

Danny and Lucy are OK being on leash when necessary. They have those spring loaded leashes that allow them a lot of leash when it is appropriate and can be retracted when necessary. The only issue I have is that they tend to get tangled in each other's leashes. Of course they much prefer being off leash so they can explore some. To insure their good behavior, I constantly talk to them while we walk. My guess is that some of my neighbors think I'm a bit whacked. LOL.

The only time I have a problem walking them off leash is when Lucy freaks out because someone walks by or another dog walks by. When this happens she runs out of control. She is afraid of all other dogs besides Danny and she does not like strangers. This is the first dog I've ever had that was so antisocial and shy. We've had her since she was 8 weeks old. I've tried everything to socialize her but nothing seems to make much difference. Danny, on the other-hand, is very very friendly and social. He wants to play with every person and every dog he encounters.

haha .. no .. I haven't gone to a public gym in years ... everyone that uses mine knows to leave the things exactly as you found them

I use the cans at home and then put them out for the garbage.  If they happen to poop away from home I have plastic bags from that the newspapers come in.

Your newspaper delivery folks are probably more thoughtful than ours. Only when it is really raining hard is our paper in a plastic bag. Of course the newpaper holder under the mailbox at the street is plastic and more or less protects the paper. However, it is sometimes a bit soggy. I live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains about 300 days a year.
