Silly confessions thread

Stuffed toys? lol I have to arrange mine when I go to bed at night so I have room. Five of them, all dogs.

When I am out I speak to most all dogs and cats. Oh and their owners too but they come second

I cannot help but count magpies...
I say goodmorning to them but always count .. 1 for sorry 2 for joy etc...

I remember dogs' names, but not their owners'.

I find myself apologizing profusely whenever I ask someone to remind me of their name. Unfortunately, that's after I've already greeted their dog by name.

I guess, going forward, I need to ask first, then pretend I don't know the dog's name.

Speaking of names. I can remember just about anything except for names. I mean I am really bad at times, being introduced and forgetting their name just a short time later. It is totally embarrassing and also rude on my part. I have been trying to do better and I am improving but it's still an issue. I don't have any idea why this happens.

I am actually excellent at remembering people's names: it is very important to me to know everyone's name. I make a record of it in my mind until it sticks in my mind. I also remember faces really well.

I guess I am lucky to have a good memory.

I always recognize a face, even years later after only one encounter. I may not recall right away where or when, but I eventually do. I don't remember their names, though. Case in point: I had Rosie's oil changed at a nearby Jiffy Lube, and the technician tried to convince me that my radiator needed replaced right then and there, even though it wasn't leaking on the floor. He showed me a moist spot on top of the radiator where some dirt absorbed some fluid. I thanked him for bringing it to my attention and told him that I would have my mechanic take a look at it. He then tried to convince me to "let the guy who found it" fix it, implying that my mechanic didn't notice it. I told him that it could have been a recent development, since it hadn't turned white, like the residue on the overflow tank. I ultimately got it replaced through my trusted mechanic.

I had bought Goldie later that year. Several years after that, I was checking in for a service in Denver. This guy was circling the car, measuring tire tread, then asked when I was going to switch out my winter tires. I already did, with brand-new all-seasons that I had put on two days prior! We went around for a bit until he looked them up online, only to find out that they were, indeed, all-season tires. He had a familiar face and smile. On the way home, I realized he was the same grease monkey who wanted to replace my radiator several years before.

I'm just lucky, is all.

Rather oddly, I remember all the names of my patients, and for years afterwards.

BUT, I have no idea who they are when I actually see them, unless they are very regular, and/or have memorable personalities.

I have also found it's the ones I don't like that I remember first.

I have never dated and I do not want to.....

I wish I was a ballet dancer sometimes.

I never wear shoes in or around the house.

If I could have a wish, yes, ballet dancer would be a definite contender, but I would insist on the second wish....

That I don't have to learn, or practice.

Alex Harvey was mid forties when he got big.

I met so many dogs, that I can't be expected to remember their names or even their sexes, so yes I call the all 'puppy'. 

I have to earn a living you know. 

I had my pacifier until I was 7 years old, and even then it was hard to let it go

I loved it.. not even to put in my mouth really- I just liked playing with it

Those I do remember, they were somehow sort of lovely, yet nauseating too.
