#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

1. At meals, I finish all of one food before moving on to the next food on my plate.

2. Rough bark and cauls on trees creep me out.

3. I‘m not overly fond of staying at other people‘s homes. (But I love to have them stay at mine!)

Thanks for the tag, @Cuilin !

Want to play, @Julsmarshall @Librarybelle @BookwormAHN ?

TheBookHippie #3 just NO. This is why there are hotels. 11mo
dabbe #1: I sort of do that. I usually eat what I like the LEAST first, and save my favorite for the end. 😂
#2: I'm always afraid of splinters with trees.
#3: AMEN! 🤩

1. I wear socks. My mother instilled in me that young girls should make sure our feet stay warm so we don't get problems with our bodies later in life.
2. I hate housework. I like to do laundry and hang clothes outdoors.
3. I need absolute quiet when I read or sleep.
@dabbe

AmyG I also enjoy doing laundry. 11mo
LiseWorks @AmyG ironing not so much lol 11mo

dabbe #1: #metoo! 🤩
#2: I hate housework, laundry, ALL of it, especially vacuuming (too much hair from our GSD's).
#3: Please tell me how you achieve that. I'd love it but can never get it to be that quiet.

LiseWorks @dabbe it's pretty quiet at my house so when I shut the radio or TV off it's quiet. Lol 11mo
Mimi28 3) I need complete silence to concentrate on anything. I sleep with my tv on mute and the closed caption on and when I am writing letters I do it in the living room which is cold but quiet- except for noisy neighbors but I am used to sounds of the city 🏙️ 11mo
LiseWorks @Mimi28 My house is right next to the major highway and when I'm in my art room or outside I really notice it, but you're right about getting used to city life's noise. 11mo
Mimi28 @LiseWorks Thanks for understanding 😊🏙️Our apartment is at the end of the train line, but actually it‘s the noisy neighbors and trucks that bother me more. I visited my friend in Oklahoma once a it was sooo quiet it freaked me out, lol. He‘d have to be a billionaire jillionaire for me to move to an area that - creepy to me, lol 11mo
Mimi28 To clarify- the friend in Oklahoma was a female and it was for a women‘s church revival. When I said he I meant a possible husband, lol. And that ain‘t happening any time soon, lol 😂😁 11mo

As for an actual #ThisTitleEqualsGreatBandName, Quirkology jumped out at me first when I went to my bookshelf.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk And they only perform covers of films featured in Wes Anderson movies, while dressed as characters from those movies. 8y
