I have "good" towels and washcloths, for company.
I used to have "good" slippers but kept "borrowing" them, when my others were wet or needed washing. Eventually, the "good" ones were no longer good.
Used to have a "good" kitchen sponge, as well. The "good" sponge was only used for dishes, with no food on them.

I do things my kids think are weird and I told them if they ask I can tell them the reason.
I do this, but rinse mine several times a day and get a clean one every day!
dh got bacteria in tummy and I told him, (oh, how I told him!)...that could happen!
He's listening now. Wonder how long that will last?

a bat with phobias.
No wonder they say "crazy as a bat", or he's got bats in his belfry.

Yep. And the closet door absolutely closed tight. But the darker the room is, the better I sleep.
I also have to sleep with ....count them....5 pillows (well, three are small ones).

I don't see how the actors could stay in character plus remember their lines. I've been on that stage a couple of different times when there was a bat. Fun times....not!
"Screamed"??? I'd STILL be screaming!!!!!! Bloody murder!!!!!! What is the deal with WI & bats?

OK... speaking of cups... I don't drink out of a special one (since I drink Dr. Pepper out of the can 24/7... the reminds me, I'm getting low right about now) but I do have a special thread cup that sits by my sewing & I only empty it when it's full to the brim. In fact, my grown DD likes to empty it when she comes home to visit. She likes to look at all the color layers of thread. Yep, it's a cheap McDonald's cup that I'd had since the year one but I love it & cannot sew without it by me!
