I'm going elk hunting with my brothers in the morning. I got the :06 out of the cabinet, and checked it and got it ready to go. Ugh, I set a pair of reading glasses by it, easy to grab and not forget. I got my pack out; made sure I had my fire kit, my first aid kit, cow elk talk call, orange flagging (poor man's GPS as my brother calls it), knife- stone - small steel, fresh water and snacks. There was more, but you all know what it is. Then I got my hunting jacket out of the closet. It felt heavy on one side. I checked the pockets. SCORE! Gloves and . . . toilet paper. I might not have been a boy scout, but I'm going prepared. You know you're different when: YOUR TURN

WIW2B, C Diff, VRE, UTI, or a GI bleed? All 4 can be diagnosed from the hallway!

@pony, that's really cool! People have a different smell when diabetic also. I have always really admired people that had a naturally very organized, logistic brain. It seems like life would be alot easier if that was a natural strength.

When I saw this thread yesterday I tried to come up with an example of how I'm different, but couldn't. It's the rest of the world that seems odd to me.

I can't remember what it's called (I think water witching) but I can use a stick to find water underground.
I can smell propane gas even when the leak is almost immeasurable.
Because of an allergy, I can walk into a place and know within 10 min if it's infested with mold. I can smell it a mile away, and I itch like crazy.

Nick is another one who can douse for water. Ozarks Tom, Nick just quoted Alice Cooper (another mundane sort...) who said, "You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same."

Another way of looking at it is: 1 out of 4 people is mentally unbalanced, think of your 3 best friends, if they seem sane, it's you.

Conversely, many go by the old saying, "Show me a man's friends and I will show you the man." Another version: "Show me a man’s friends, and I’ll show you the man’s character." You are known by the company you keep. Humorous example: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not so humorous example:

Who needs toilet paper. Instead, dry leaves, dry tufts of grass, corn cobs and corn husks. In the winter you use snow and jump. Reminds me of the time I had to quickly jump behind a bush, as I was squatting there I looked to the left and there was poison ivy, then to the right and there was poison ivy, then down at my feet, I was standing in it. Even though I'm not affected by poison ivy, I decided to find other leaves and not push my luck.

mnn2501, I don't know about that in every case. It sure would have been a pain getting that 42 cases in the attic over the garage without help. Which reminds me, I was in Sam's one day when I saw a guy loading a flat cart with TP, probably 15 cases. I just knew he was a prepper, but I sidled over to him and said "you know they sell Immodium AD up in the pharmacy, don't you?"
