Good listing of your quirks. Thanks for playing along. I used to do the sunburn peeling as a kid in NJ, but no one really peels here.

I am a har picker. IN 8th grade for the class picture my hair had to parted on the side due to a bald spot from picking. My Mom and Grandmother did the same thing. It is part of the eczema but on the scalp – dermatitis. I have seen my nonverbal son matt do this a few times.

I have some quirks too:

I can’t have my hair down too long, or I will end up trying to detangle it…basically pulling out (all my) hair.

I am totally obsessed and have a rountine with how I shower, washing my hair,shave, washing myself, brushing my teeth, drying off, and puting on lotion, and clothes. There is only ONE way!!

I am a face picker; if I see myself in a mirror, I totally try to stay away from the mirror.

I have to always have clean finger nails after I shower.

I too was a big time peeler, lucky for me now I am in Alaska, hardly any sunburn to peel.

I hate shoes and pants! If I could I would were sandals all the time; my feet need to breath. And I almost always wear shorts…anytime of the year…I need to breath!!

Thanks for the glue tip! That sounds like a perfect compromise! I’ll have to try it soon . . .

I too am a peeler, and in these days of sunscreen, I’ve found a wonderful alternative. Rub white school glue all over any part of your body without hair, let it dry, and presto: it’s peelarific without the pain and melanoma.

Love the quirks, and I’m with you: Osh has got to have some doozies.
