What are you fussy about?

[StephMK]

I can't think of much. My clothes cannot be uncomfortable. I hate to iron and don't want any special washing instructions. My purse needs to have a zipper in the main part and side pocket for my keys.

I'm getting fussing about wanting my stuff in the same spots. It makes it easier to run my routines on auto pilot when I don't have to put thought into where things were left.

LOL. I live in Sacramento, also known as Sacratomato because canning tomato products was the big industry here. My dad worked at a cannery for a time and took me down when they were bottling Ketchup (or Catsup). They bottled their own brand, Sacramento Brand, Heinz, Hunts, and Del Monte and numerous store brands. The ketchup all came from the same cooking vat, Only the bottles and labels were different. So ketchup I buy price since what is in the bottle is the same. Although now that our kids are grown we seem to throw out more ketchup than we use. We used to buy huge bottles, now we buy the smallest we can and end up not using it all by the expiration date.

I know plants package the same product under different names but not all the ketchups on the market are from the same plant/recipe. There are some brands that definitely taste different. If I knew which other brands were made from the same recipe as Heinz I would buy it. I usually only buy ketchup when it is on sale so I don't mind paying a bit more knowing its the taste I like.

Bed has to be made.
I am not too picky about the kitchen (it's sanitary, and it gets cleaned/all dishes get done every night before going to bed) but what makes me crazy is when used/dirty dishes are just put on the counter, willy-nilly. RINSE the dish, empty the water, and stack them NEATLY beside (NOT IN) the sink. How hard is that?
Laundry. Dirty laundry is in the bedrooms (in baskets in the bottom of the closets). Clean laundry is in baskets in the laundry room until someone folds and puts things away. No dirty laundry baskets in my laundry room (because then I'll wash them again...)

This one might ring a bell to some. My scissors. I have numerous pairs, and some are only for cloth, some are only for trimming hair, one pair for the kitchen, one pair for the garage, and several “anything goes” scissors. My grandmother taught me to always tell her what I wanted to use her scissors for, and then she would tell me which ones to use. When I was a kid, I thought it was kinda silly. But darned if I didn’t grow up to teach my hubby the same thing LOL.

I'm a scissors fiend. I do a lot of crafts, and I have scissors for fabric, scissors for cutting cardboard, scissors for cutting plastic, scissors for cutting dolls' hair, scissors for paper, etc. I have them all marked for their purpose on the handle with a Sharpie. My fabric scissors are King. When they start to dull, I move them down the pecking order of Scissorland until they get to the lowest of the low- scissors for trimming candle wicks. My family laughs at my system, but it works. And I keep them with my craft stuff and everybody knows to never touch my scissors.
