I still wear an N95 mask when inside public spaces.  I suspect many might find that to be "odd".  I haven't suffered from any viruses in the last 5 years.


Having just gotten over the flu (well about 12 days later and still coughing....), I still wipe everything down with wipes, wear gloves pushing a cart (plus I wipe it down).  I guess what I'm saying is, I should've been wearing a mask, too....

I dislike the taste and scent of bananas but I buy them because I like how they look in my fruit bowl. I suspect some might find that peculiar, so I wonder if other posters do things that some might find odd.


@occasionalrain OK, I find it odd to purchase food to let it spoil.  It's like buying clothes you'll never wear.  Which I find odd as well.  But that's just me!  Woman LOL

Re: Unorthodox Practices

Of the 2 practices mentioned thus far, I don't find wearing a mask in public to be unorthodox at all.  Mask wearing by a percentage of the public is here to stay.

 

Buying fruit solely for the purpose of watching it spoil, yes, seems quite out of the ordinary;  unless you're conducting a fruit fly experiment in high school biology.

I would just buy some plastic bananas.  Why waste money on food no one is going to eat.  Not liking the smell of bananas is another reason to use fake bananas.

@Sooner They don't spoil, just get a few freckles then go to the raccoon and opossum to enjoy. It's a win win win. The grower, the grocer, the Raccoon/ Opossum enjoy, all benefit and so do I.

When the BF got his current husky, the vet said the dog was underweight. So I started making homemade doggy ice cream..........

 

3 bananas, 1 cup peanut butter, 1 large container of greek yogurt.......mix it all together and I freeze it in 4 oz paper bathroom cups.  He gets 1 ice cream treat a night after dinner and loves shredding the cup as much as eating the ice cream. 

 

Sometimes I mash it up and add 4 bananas.....yes, he added the weight.

@occasionalrain OK but DO NOT let that raccoon think it is an invitation to live in your attic!  Woman Surprised Just sayin'!

Why not get wax / molded decor bananas to mix in with your real fruits in the bowl ?

 

Over time I now cannot stand the smell of citrus peelings but love the taste of the fruit itself....odd yes !

You should buy some wax bananas.
