I try to squeeze the absolute last bit of anything out of a container before I throw it out. I don't do it anymore but I've even cut some lotion, sunscreen, or ointment tubes open because I knew there was still a good usable amount left in there.
With cleaning agents such as dish soap or shampoo, I mix it with water and still get many good washes out of what's in there. I am not an environmentalist but I despise throwing out plastic bags, so much so that I try to avoid using too many Ziploc style bags. If a food item that was in a bag was just a dry good, I try to reuse the bag. Sometimes I even wash the inside the bag if it was a perishable item and reuse it. I save waaay too many plastic containers. Part of this is because I can freeze small amounts of stuff in them and save tupperware for nonfrozen stuff. And also, because lot of recycling is a lie. I'll reuse the washed plastic sour cream container until it's not reusable, then decided what to do with it. But odds are where ever I get rid of it, it'll go to a landfill. I also have trouble baking anything because I want every last bit of batter/mix out of bowl and into the pan. And also because I like to eat raw mixes...especially if the back of the box tells me not to. That's a different problem. LOL But I won't eat raw eggs, so there's the problem. Those beaters want to be licked, but I can't. (That sounds wrong.) |

I make customs. Which I think is weird. I always think I can make a character the best or better than we ever had, and challenge myself against myself, which is obsessive, ocd and cocky.
I’ve never really Been into art. Never went to school for art. Never really drew or painted. Never built a custom one until about 3 years ago. But I find building something, Blending concepts of my childhood nostalgia very peaceful. Customizing shouldn’t be that deep lol.

Growing up I would never eat the last of anything, I would always save some. Mainly because we grew up poor and I always wanted those special treats to last... of course the rest of my family would always eat what I was saving for later. I still do the same thing, but now I try to hide the goodies.
Plus, not for OCD reasons, but because they were always rough on the skin, I used to always throw my work uniform shirts on the floor next to the dryer for about a month before I would re-wash them and wear them. It seemed to work and soften them up. |

I probably spend far too much time on Fantasy Football (soccer) than I should.
