Hello friends and mylotters,
My cousin had this unusual habit of rubbing her feet to a rough surface to have a good sleep.
Last night she visited us and sleep here in our house,and,when sleeping time comes she asks me if i had a mosquito net,i ask why becoz we are not using mosquito net since my house had screen doors and windows which makes us mosquito/fly free.
Then,i remember that,she had this habit of rubbing her feet to any rough surface or rough cloth just to fall asleep.Whew! we ended up with searching a newly washed rubber rug with rough brushlike surface....
I wonder how many of you dear who had this kind of unusual habit too.
Happy mylotting friends and waiting for your responce

hi jaiho.
my wife's younger sister has three kids. the eldest which is a girl, has the same habit. while in the living room watching tv or doing her homework, she always have a piece of mosquito net on her feet. the youngest, which is a boy, also have the same habit.
one time, their nets got old or probably lost, their mom bought a new single-sized mosquito net. because they don't actually use the net, where it should properly serve its purpose, they just cut the new net, so both of them can have, at least a piece of it.
the last time i saw the boy using mosquito net? he was confined in the hospital for about 4 days. you know what? even in a private air-con room, he had his net. but not to keep mosquitoes away, but used it on the bed, like a bed sheet.

hi jaiho.
firstly, i hope everything's fine there in your place after the storm.
it's really funny to imagine those kids when they get married. i also can't imagine it.
i wasn't able to get back to your first comment (incorrectly posted ) because i got too busy at work and i can't get a good connection when i am at home. anyway, i guess that's fine and nothing to worry about.
and thanks for the BR.

Hi jaiho,
How are you dear?
I don’t have any such habit and to be honest I may fall asleep quickly after going to bed. We are sleeping lately and my days are also hectic. I am working and after reaching home I have to take care of the studies of my son and other works after completion of all tasks there is no time for these kinds of habits. But my younger son needs to rubbing on the elbow either of us (his father or mine) in sleeping time. My elder son had the same habit now he left the same and I hope younger will also leave this habit later.

I also don't have any special habit other than my usual shower before hitting bed.
My youngest son has this habit of roaming every room,hehehe,what i mean is,tonight he sleeps with me,the next night he sleeps with his sister,then ,on his brothers room,he seldoms sleeps at his bed...(hahaha)maybe becoz he wanted to be cuddled like a baby since he is the youngest and still feels and acted like a baby at his age(10).

Hello my bonita mia...good morning. Yes I had known that unusual habit and it was from my partner's nephew. When that kid came in our family, he could not really sleep without rubbing his feet in a mosquito net..what I knew was he got it from his father also which he (the father) is still doing it right now. Well, it is so disgusting. Every time his father travels he always carry with him a pillow which has a "mosquito net case" not a pillow case. And if he could not bring it with him he could not sleep well. Also what I knew,this is also the habit of his uncle which is the most worst. If (his uncle) could not have mosquito net to rub his feet, he would just rub his barefoot on the rough ground or anything that is rough. Back to my wife's nephew, we did not tolerate his disgusting habit. The thing we did was we kept first the mosquito net until he got used to it and then finally we throw (the mosquito net)it to the garbage truck..that's it. Now, he could sleep so well without those piece of mosquito net..the problem is he always wake up too late every morning. He would not rise from his bet without shouting him to rise up...heheheheh
Have a nice day ahead my friend...I miss you a lot..

I shower/wash in a very definite routine, and if I do something out of order or purposely do NOT do it, I tend to screw up other things while in the shower, and then I feel out of sorts all damned day long.
I'm also a food sniffer sometimes.
Mostly this is when I'm trying something new, and a sniff will give a reasonable, less intense indication of what it will taste like. Sort of like a warm up.
Sometimes, though, it's because I want to enjoy the aroma of food before the taste. Good chocolate, for instance. Sashimi, too - very fresh, raw tuna has such a delicate sweet scent that matches its flavor.
But common foods I don't do this with.
And I can't stand having the sheet tucked in at the foot of the bed. I need to be able to move my legs, and when the sheet is tucked in they feel pressed down. I do like having several pillows -- at least two for my head (so when one is warm I can change to the other) and one long body pillow. If I get cold, I'll lie on my side with a pillow against the small of my back.

Hello Tantrums,
My sister in law had this same habit of sniffing food.And i am really amazed by her habit,becoz,when she cooks she don't taste her cooking,but instead,she can figure the taste by sniffing alone.
I guess you are a good cook too,and that you love to sniff foods and enjoy it's aroma before tasting it.
Thanks for your response in here my friend and keep commenting too

well, before i don't sleep in the morning like two in the morning. but ever since i discover mylot, everything seems change and instead of just sleeping on time i would extend until at least one or two and three in the morning. it's becoming some sort of a bad habit but i guess it was worth doing since am getting paid in mylot.

Hello Letran,
I guess you are being addicted with mylot,as i do.
Before,i was active scrapping and having/joining communication from other social sites.But since i joined mylot and proved that this really pays,i started reducing my time from joining other social sites.I rather spent my time here,at least it is worth the graveyard overtime.
