Greetings all. OK, what are your habits, good and bad? I smoke, drink alcohol (moderately), I'm not a veggie, I've quit biting my nails and do drum my fingers when I'm waiting for something (or somebody). Ummm. Yes. *s*

silly but cute poll, it made me giggle! The only habit I can honestly say I have is the nail biting. And actually , I don't bite the nails , but the cuticles. That's why I have to spend 3 hours doing a manicure, when I have the time. First is the nail filing , then the pulling off of the cuticles with a nail nippers (doesn't hurt , but people think it does when they see it). It looks great when it's all done and the nails are polished. If I don't do it , the cuticles get all thick , I chew them off , sometimes they get sore or bleed , it's yucky. I'm sure you are all thrilled to know this!!

WHAT A PITY! I'm the only veggie around here! Slinky_jo, I thought you were too! :( However, I also taptaptap, and it's increasing as I'm spending a lot of time on the Internet and getting used to it! :) And, pof course, eat my nails. Even if I have tried and succeded a lot of times and for long not to. I think I'll have to drop this, if I want to be an estimated surgeon :D

I have quite an unusual habit: When I'm thinking, or relaxing, or basically when I'm not consciously trying to stop this habit, I chew the inside of my cheek... Its difficult to explain, but that's what I do! I used to suck my thumb, but was forced to give up when I ws 12 cuz I had to have a brace fitted. Kiama

Hey Pollux - yeh I'm a vegie!! Long live vegetables LOL :D

amyel	15 Mar 2002
I think Purple lady & I are cut from the same mould....I also bit my cuticles. And like Kiama, I am forever chewing the inside of my cheeks! I don't think I've ever heard of anyone elso doing these things. It's good to know I am not alone....

I'm definitely a finger-drummer, but I also bite the inside of my cheeks (and lower lip). I had a boyfriend once who said that he could always tell when I was upset by the way that I chewed on my cheek (although that isn't the only time I do it). Glad to see that I'm not the only one!

blumoon: you are so right *lol* didn't see that before you commented on it. :) however, it sometimes seem like a habit, I know quite a few people being veggies now and then, almost like a habit. ;)

i added 'none of the above' so that people without these habits could view your results. in light, the moderator

Yes, I know a part-time vegie - my partner! He won't eat meat in front of me, but when he's out with the lads, he's been known to chomp on a steak! He'll eat with great gusto the vegetarian meals I cook, but eats meat when he feels "under the weather". Me, I'd rather down a few vitamins and guzzle a guarana drink than touch meat again! ;)

Im a bad girl.. I smoke and drink and love meat, but on the other hand, Im nice to children ,old people and small animals. So maybe it balances out. Pedeka

blumoon: there are different paths in the vegetarian world. Some quit eating meat but still eat birds, fish, eggs etc. Others quit eating all kinds of meat, animals etc. We have terms for the different categories of vegetarians in Norwegian, but I don't know these words in English.
