I know what you mean madame zora...although...I had a funny little thing happen to me yesterday which I can share with you all. You might find it incredibly dull, but hey ho. :D

I went into Marks & Spencers (it's a clothing and food store in the UK) and it was raining outside so as I went in I wiped my shoes on the mat at the entrance before walking on the shiny floor inside.

Well the old guy behind me watched me, stopped in his tracks and then like did exactly the same thing as me :D

Then the woman behind him comes in - sees the guy and does wipes her feet too. Well as I was walking away I looked back and like everyone that came in was queueing up to wipe their feet on the mat haha!

I felt like a god at that moment I tell ya. Like I'd spread some cosmic karma to help make the lives of the store cleaners a little easier... :)

Hey, after I'd gone the next guy in probly walked a ton of dogshit all over the store, but hey I did my best!

Anyone have anything like this happen to them?

Ian.

That's awesome! Spread some good manners around, god knows we need them.

I can raise my right eyebrow and I've noticed that if I do it when I'm talking to people, they'll usually do it to, completely subconsciously. If you nod your head, the person you're talking to will too, it's hilarious how easily led people are.

"I dunno why, kid, but everyone seems to love you" is what one of my managers told me. I got to thinking, and there's no one I work with that doesn't like me. I dunno why, I couldn't answer him.

"Even I like you, and I don't know why, can you tell me?"

No, actually, I can't. And even here, I'm pretty shure that like, no one hates me. Maybe disagrees with some of my views and all, but I doubt anyone hates me. Yah, bein random and junk.

That tends to be a subconcious gesture that someone likes you. Take it as a compliment *nods head*

On this same subject guys, I tried staring up in the sky today for a while standing in the street and it still works a treat - like five or six people were all looking up too in succession to see what they were missing!

If ya did it long enough you could definitely get a little crowd going - then walk away n leave em! :evilgrin:

The olduns are the best aren't they. I think I saw that on an old Candid Camera show years ago :D

Interesting&#33;
Personally I don&#39;t do this, but i&#39;m sure the mimicking "thing" happens all the time.

When I see something like this I normally wonder "why are they nodding their head" or "why did one eyebrow suddenly go up".

Anyway, I have a bit of that feeling lately because for months now I've been a bit of an insomniac. There, I said the word! Hours and hours awake for no reason whatsoever. I can see it affecting my concentration too. And the freaky thing is that I've always been able to sleep through anything and at the drop of a hat. I'm kind of afraid to research it. I find myself wondering if insomnia (I said it again) suddenly develops at a certain age.
_______________________________________________
For insomnia-
I take one of the Walgreen's brand equivalent of Unisom plus 800 mg Valerian Root plus a cup of Sleepy Time tea. Before I started this regimen, I would be awake for hours unable to make my brain shut up. Fair warning: the Valerian Root has a rank odor ( I store it in a Zip-Lock bag).:)

Every Spanish-speaking country has its own interpretation of Spanish rice. Here's a recipe for the Cuban version. It's simple and tasty.

TOMATE con ARROZ (SPANISH RICE - CUBAN STYLE)

1 c. pearl rice
2 c. water
1 tsp. butter
1 can tomato paste
1/2 c. olive oil
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
minced onion (to taste)
minced garlic (to taste)
1/2 c. smoked ham

Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil and add butter and rice. Cover, lower heat, and steam for 20 minutes. In a skillet heat olive oil, ham, tomato paste and seasonings. Do not over heat. When rice is ready, mix with the ingredients in the skillet and enjoy your meal. Makes 4 servings. Goes great with Cuban style black beans!
_________________________

Except for the dry mustard, this is very similar to how I learned to make Spanish Rice when I was a kid. I was extremely dissapointed the first time I ate Spanish Rice in a Mexican restaurant. It was literally nothing but pale orange rice!:)

My ex girl told me she knew 800 motherfuckers that wanted to kick my ass the other night. So I told her I wasn't hard to find and motioned her "posse" to come forward. No one did.

She later apologized.
