Thats a new one on me. I have a hook on the back of my bedroom door that I hang them on.
Loon? Maybe, but arn't we all?

Teeheehee, I do that, too!
I have an exemption on that "picking cashews" out of the nuts, as I am allergic to pistachios, cashews and their ilk. But otherwise...Mom said "no picking" as well.
The only other "Maternal placed idea" like that is one I have been bucking against for years and can't shake.
My Gran ingrained into my Mom, who in turn told me that I can't wear red shoes.

To this day, I have no red shoes in my closet!

Well of course we think you're a loon! But not because of that...
Kidding.
So, what happens if you don't make your bed fold your clothes, pick up your room put your PJ's...I can't say it...Does your Marcia Brady Fan Club Membership get revoked?
Kidding.
But really. Go crazy for a weekend and not pick up after yourself, clean a horse brush in the middle of the living room and not vacuum for a day, drop a scoop of ice cream--okay a spoonful, can't be wasteful about ice cream--on the bathroom tile/linoleum and leave it there not only until it melts but dries and hardens as well. IT WILL BE LIBERATING! The Whole GND thing might crack open and fall from you. Without hurting anyone or anything.!

Rugbug is your mother by some chance southern???
LOL channeling me huh? Any lingering evil?
I am not an outside person. I wear, at a minimum, a 55 spf year round. Sadly my skin will not tan. I can burn, but when the burn fades, it's right back to dead white...I have learned to live with it
OK out of here for a bit..may be on later

Yea! I'm not alone. I feel so..."part of" something. Heh.

Does the color red matter? Like can you wear oxblood color shoes?
I will admit to feeling that about certain kinds of shoes. Red heels = hooker. Red Mary Janes = little girl. I have had two pairs of red sneakers. I never felt like a hooker in those. I wonder why?

That NEVER happens. Well, once in a very, very long while. I even make my bed on horse show mornings when I get up at 4 and don't get home until 11 at night.
Believe me, I do plenty of other "not picking up" type things. Let's just say once, because I don't cook much, I went over three months without washing dishes. GND maybe. But not if that girl is Martha Stewart.

That happens to me too. Hence the avoidance of the sun.

"are you asking me or telling me?" is totally a teacher line. Not necessarily evil. Unless you're just saying that you're in fact evil and channeling you may bring some evil with it.
Anyway no more thinking for me. I'm outta here. Have a good long weekend folks.

Goodnight, MsG. If I don't see you before I leave, Have a great weekend. I'll see you on Tuesday. (HUG)
Rugbug, I think if given a choice, I will always pick any other color over red. It's sad, really. I want to wear them...I just feel too self conscious. Sounds silly.
edit: And, I'm leaving for the day a tad early.
Goodnight, everyone. Have a great weekend. I may pop back in...*waves*

I have to give a big thank you to HK for reminding me that it ain't always about what people think, it's about what you think and feel.
I've had a problem with finding a size 16 sandal but now that I have them, I'm thinkin' about buying another pair or three.
Mavs is definately one to listen to, My mind has to be a little more straight before knowing what my actual feelings are, and despite its cancer giving qualities the sun is tolerable when it comes to a good shopping trip.
Gotta go. Wanna just hug everyone seein' as I have a three day weekend that starts early due to administration.
And I was ready to do sme actual work too.
Goodnight everyone and have a great weekend.

Funny thing about shame and self-consciousness, if you experience it often enough you build a tolerance to them, a toughening, a desensitization.
Not sad. Not silly. Like I was trying to tell RugBug, just do it. Borrow a pair if you don't want to buy them and indulge your fantasy. Just once. Try on the persona of what you think they represent. (Goes for bedspreads the same way, Bug...leave that butt print of yours in the middle of the sheets undisturbed until you come home at night. Just once. Jump up and down on the mattress because you know it's wrong!) You'll either find out that being a whore or a little girl isn't such a horrible notion, or the shoes don't make the man, er, woman. Red shoes on Mavs (said you had fishnets, too, yes?): sexy. Same shoes, different woman? Maybe not so sexy. The woman makes the shoe. (Of course there's the whole elf thing but I haven't sorted that out yet.)
I hope I said all that right. I have a terrible way with words sometimes. Bad admission for an aspiring writer.
Well have a good weekend everyone. Going into quasi-lurk mode until 5. Maybe I'll pop on during the holiday. If not, have a great weekend everyone.
