CONGRATULATIONS!

I was just about to say "I don't do anything for no reason" :unsure: :laugh: Okay I'm a weirdo.

When I started back with my Dad's crew after college, I went through systematically dissecting things after I learned how to be a roofer.

Why this, why that. It really pissed people off at first but I'm happy with the way we are working now. More productive with less people and better quality.

Here is the story that was told to me. It was meant to get me to know why I do the things I do. We are creatures of habit. We all believe we are doing the right things for the right reasons. Yet most of the things we do are on automatic pilot. Really take a deep look at the things you do and you will find that most behaviors no long serve you.

A little girl was helping her mother make Easter dinner. The mother cut the end of the ham off and stuck it into another pot. Then stuck it into the oven to cook.

The girl asked her mother why did you cut the end of the ham off and stick it into another pot. The mother looked confused. No one had ever asked her that question. She did not have an answer. She told her daughter go ask Grammy.

The girl went and asked her grandmother "grammy why does mommy cut the end off the ham and stick it in another pot. The grandmother said "I do not know why your mother does that. But I used to do that because I need a ham to serve 20 people and only had a pot that fit a ham that served 15 people. So I cut part of the ham off to put it in another pot."

I started to look at why I like the foods I like. Most people have halupkie in tomato sauce. I would rather have halupkie in vinegar water. My mom made them in vinegar water.

Good questions will expose these behaviors. If you think you do not have any behaviors like this you are stuck in your present life. For 56 years of my life society had conditioned me to believe I could not write and publish a book. Well 2 years ago I asked myself why I believed I could not write a book. I decided that I could write a book and I did.

Do you believe you could write and publish a book? A year from today?

I prefer to simply wash the dishes. I don't bother with dishwasher. Waste of time & water IMO.

I wash my dishes before putting them in the washer, because they come out with little bits of dried, although sterilized, food if I don't. I think I'll keep doing it.

Vickie, there's good reason to salt the inside, just as there's good reason to season the outside. Next time, dry it thoroughly inside, rub with butter, then salt (plus seasonings you like), do the same to the outside, and slide some fingers full of butter under the skin too.

Keep on saltin', sweety. Ain't nothin' wrong with you.

My mother-in-law always cuts the ends off the cucumbers - then rubs them around on the end....goofy! My wife does it as well.....extra goofy! Oh - and they will not use a potato peeler - rather use a knife and waste potato...Oh and how about washing them dishes before they go in the dishwasher? I better stop.....

I do a few things that no-one can tell me why. Luckily it all revolves around cooking. This gives me the strength to just say no to rubbing salt on the inside of a Turkey!

Who knows how true it is though. I couldn't find any source for the experiment on the world wide web of lies.

Regardless, it's pretty good!

Good one clover..... Amazing behavior similarities don't ya think?

Thank you Clover, gonna use that in an object lesson.
