What physical trait do you find odd about yourself?

[JimmyJazz]

I have Popeye forearms :(

[sakabatou]

1. I can invert my shoudlers

[philosophie_en_rose]

2. I'm double jointed in all of my fingers.

Not thumbs though.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. i have one pointed ear

and was born with one tonsil instead of 2. :shrug:

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

8. I hate to break it to you, but most people have a "spock" ear.

Which reminds me, my oldest daughter has an ear lobe with no cartlidge in it. It's perfectly smooth inside, which really makes it look like an elf ear. The weirdest thing is that I didn't even notice it for the first six months, but when I showed it to the doctor, she said, "oh yeah, that." :D

[bicentennial_baby]

13. but if most people have them...

why do people always point it out to me? me so confused! x(


:P

no cartilage? easy for piercing when she grows up, Mom!! :bounce: heehee

[JimmyJazz]

16. Piffle - mom has piercings and tats -

I lie awake at night and wonder what she will do to shock me :D

She has the top part with the fold, but the inside of her ear is totally smoooth where that inner ridge should be. I'll see if I can find a pic because it's hard to describe.

[bicentennial_baby]

19. see, i said you were the coolest!

and i was right! :bounce:

[JimmyJazz]

22. Okay! I found a pic. I hate to post my child's anomaly, but here it is:

[bicentennial_baby]

wow, i see what you mean

i think it's cool though...i love the variety of people's features, biology is a wondrous thing. :D

[JimmyJazz]

25. Again, I thought she was so wonderfully beautiful that it took six

months for me to notice :) I just couldn't figure out why her ear seemed to fold over so easily :D

[Kathleen04]

114. I have the

opposite anomaly, in my right ear, I have an extra cartilage..but no one would notice unless I pointed it out.

[Rob H.]

81. Both of mine are pointed--beat that!

Seriously, they are. :D

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

4. I have a flat stomach but I never work out .

I order 15 dollars worth of Chinese sometimes and it all by myself . Weird ... no weight gain .

[RevCheesehead]

7. Do you want people to throw something at you?

:hi: I take it you haven't hit 40 yet.

[JimmyJazz]

10. fer real.

:P

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

15. I am an old 25 .

But for real - I eat constantly - all day . Even at work I can always be found in front of the snack machine .

[annabanana]

21. enjoy it kid...

That will end on your 32nd birthday.. at 20 past 4 in the afternoon..

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

27. I know LOL

[Left Is Write]

44. I was the same way. Ate all day and never worked out.

Never gained a pound except when pregnant with my oldest (I weighed 131 the day she was born - was back at 105 three weeks later).

It even continued after 30.

Then I hit 35, and had my third child, the second in two years.

Exercise is my best friend now, LOL. I'm in better shape than I have ever been, and I'm 39.

[dajoki]

89. don't think like that...

your best years are ahead of you:toast:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

101. Actually I feel the best - I have'nt felt this good in years .

[MissMillie]

126. you.....

bitch!


:P

[evlbstrd]

5. The small head growing from my shoulder.

[sui generis]

128. yes but think how much more lively it would be if you

shampoo'd it occasionally.

I recommend Shoulders and Head.

[Arkana]

6. The fact that my hair invariably curls up when it gets wet.

Annoying, that.

[Wapsie B]

9. I can belch nonstop.

;-)

Oh I bet they're the cutest Popeye forearms you'd ever want to see. :)

[JimmyJazz]

11. No - you don't understand. I walk past a set of free weights and

they get more defined. Most men would love to have these forearms :(

[Arkana]

18. Nah...I love strong women!

:evilgrin:

[Wapsie B]

20. Hey that's ok by me.

You don't understand. What one person sees as a drawback to themselves may in fact be looked on as being a highly attractive feature by another. Women will be bummed by having a large nose for example. I however think that's a turn on.

[JimmyJazz]

33. You've always been way to kind to me. But, I do know what you mean.

I have always felt that confidence is the most attractive feature in a person, not any specific physical feature.

[Wapsie B]

40. But that's a funny thing about me JJ.

What I say I truly mean. There's no in between with me. It's not just being nice.

[miss_kitty]

12. Not sayin'

I don't want everyone to know about my hairy chest.

[JimmyJazz]

14. ...........

:rofl: I promise not to tell. :D

[miss_kitty]

23. Thanks

I KNOW I can trust you to keep my secret.

[ghostsofgiants]

17. I have a tail...

Not really. I don't know if I have any odd physical traits. My lips are kinda big I guess. I dunno, haha.

[ghostsofgiants]

103. So apparently I'm the only one who find this odd...

:P

[xmas74]

24. My toes naturally curl in.

I really hate that. And I have a really deep bellybutton-it looks deep enough to be another orifice.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

26. Compared to me, the rest of the world walks silly

I walk "pigeon-toed" because of bad feet. It happens when arthtitis turns your legs outward from true.

[ZombieNixon]

28. My triple jointed thumb

and the oddly protruding muscles I've recently developed at my elbows (sorry, can't get a decent pic).

[JimmyJazz]

29. Can you do that "hitchhikers thing" I can't. My thumb sticks straight up

[ZombieNixon]

38. You mean the one where the thumb points back at an impossible angle

and the first joint gets embedded within the palm and then pops out? You bet!

[sundog]

30. all of them

:D

[JimmyJazz]

31. OH STFU! Everyone knows you are one of DU hottest!

:D

[sundog]

32. no, one of DU neurotics

:P

[tjwmason]

63. It's not either/or - it's both/and

hottest and neurotic. :P :loveya:

[suzbaby]

34. I have my grandfather's nose

My Grandfather! I don't need to tell how it lacks femininity.

[JimmyJazz]

35. I'm sure you are stunning no matter whose nose you have.

Besides, see bushwentawol's post - that will cheer you up, I'm sure :D

[jmm]

43. I like looking like my grandfather.

I've always thought it was odd that my mom takes after her father and my dad takes after his mom but I look like the two grandparents they don't resemble.

[hyphenate]

36. Probably my chin

It's very prominent. Other members of the family have slightly weak chins. I guess mine makes up for all of them. In some pictures, though, I look like Charlie McCarthy.

[Lilyhoney]

37. I am perfect.

When I studied anatomy I realized that I am what the anatomical female looks like. Textbook subect.

Although I do have a space between my two front teeth. What can I say other than don't hate me because I am beautiful.

[Kire]

110. Pics?

[ofrfxsk]

39. I have hand feet

My toes look like fingers. I am an abomination against the God of regular stupid, boring feet.

[cleofus1]

41. if i told you

this thread would be locked

[Allenberg]

45. Ditto.

[RevCheesehead]

42. Well,

the "girls" aren't twins, if ya know what I mean.

[leftofthedial]

46. The McCulloch Tit

on my ear

[TrogL]

92. OK, I have to ask

:wtf: is a McCulloch Tit?

My google-fu must be down.

[leftofthedial]

94. It is a very slight little ridge on the inside edge of my right ear

that is said among the family to be hereditary among a group of my ancestors, the McCullochs

you'd never see it if I didn't point it out.

[dajoki]

47. i can pop my left shoulder...

out and back in at will.:shrug:

[merh]

48. That I really am short.

I don't think of myself as short until I see photos where I am standing with others. Then I realize that I am not very tall. It is so peculiar. :shrug:

[JimmyJazz]

49. OMG! I never realize how short I am until I iron my pants!

That's when it hits me. Day-um woman - you are short! :D

[RevCheesehead]

50. you iron your pants?

Do you enjoy that, or do you just have time on your hands? :)

[merh]

55. Come to think of it, my pants legs do seem short when I iron

my pants, I just never made that connection! :freak:

BTW - Popeye was short too - you sure your mom didn't have a thing with a sailor that liked spinach? :silly:

:hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

51. Merh, dear -

In my eyes you're 10 feet tall. :patriot: :hug:

[merh]

56. Gee PopeCheesey, that is just so nice of you!

In my minds eye I'm not quite that tall! :hug: :silly:

Guess what, I got a fema trailer today! :bounce:

:loveya: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[RevCheesehead]

57. HOORAY!!!

Can I send you real stuff now? :bounce:

[merh]

58. Are you the one that has been sending me fake stuff?

:freak:

I have an empty trailer, ready to live in and it wasn't until I was in it today that I realized that I do need some stuff. :freak: It is so weird, I don't really know where to begin.

:shrug:


I do love you for offering :hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

59. Hey, if I could, I'd steal the offering for you.

But we're not taking in much lately.

I'm planning on doing some Merh shopping tomorrow. Any requests?

[merh]

60. Well, it's like I am starting from scratch, I had more when I

moved out of the house and rented my first apartment. I really don't know where to begin. :shrug:

:hug: :loveya:

[RevCheesehead]

61. That should make it easy.

But I think I'll pass on the waffle-maker. You can eat Eggos. :)

[merh]

62. Good idea!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Scout1071]

52. I have a glass ankle. Broken several times. Currently suffering

from a severe sprain. First since a partial ankle reconstruction 6 years ago.

[RevCheesehead]

54. Ouch. I feel your pain.

My mom has had horrible ankle problems. She broke it in three places, had it pinned - but the doc never recommended therapy. Years later, she had ankle fusion surgery. But no matter what, it still swells - even when she's off her feet for days.

Did the reconstruction work for you? And did you get physical therapy for it?

[Scout1071]

95. Yes, the reconstruction (partial) has been very helpful.

I've been incident free for 6.5 years. Actually, I've turned it a few times, but no injury. Until now.

And yes, I went to physical therapy and it too was helpful. It's not too late for your mom. She should definitely go to PT. They will teach her how to stretch, strengthen and improve balance. It is helpful. Swimming strengthens it as well and is non-impact.

[norml]

111. I've broken and dislocated both of my ankles at different times.

Burns and hurts almost all the time.

No wonder I'm so mean, or so they say.

[nytemare]

53. I have feet so flat an atom couldn't fit between them and the ground.

I have 10 inch boards with toes for feet. I wear a size 12. Try finding a size 12 pair of women's shoes!!

You could say that I'm well grounded....I suppose.

:shrug:

[kick-ass-bob]

64. I have broad shoulders, but skinny arms.

I can put my fingers around my lower arm and they touch - 3 inches up from my wrist.

[GOPisEvil]

65. My eyes are too close together.

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

66. I have a very high tolerance for pain.

:shrug:

[Redstone]

79. You too, eh? Have you gotten used to pain by having a lot, or

is it that pain just doesn't bother you?

In my case, it's the former, but it still shocks my family once in a while. Yesterday morning, I had a muscle spasm in my back that was so violent that it knocked me onto the floor as if Ihad been shot, and tore some muscle fiber so I have a serving-spoon-size hematoma as a reminder.

But in the afternoon, the Little Guy and I went for an 8-mile bike ride. What the hell, it was going to hurt whether I was on the couch all day or doing something, so why not do something? Mrs R. still expresses surprise that I do stuff like that, even though she's seen it quite a more than once.

Redstone

[Shell Beau]

80. Wow, sounds pretty rough!

I guess for me it is just the way I am. I did have brothers that used to beat me up (playingly) when I was little, so I kind of had to be tough. But, it is just a natural thing for me.

[Redstone]

91. Hey, it just takes practice. I've taught myself not to flinch, which

really freaks out doctors when they do painful stuff like cortisone injections. Or my older son, when an energetic trout drove a fish hook into my thumb; I cut off the loop at the end of the hook and pushed the barbed part through my thumb and out the other side. Then put the trout back into the water; I figured any fish that feisty deserved to escape the frying pan.

Plus, as I said, the you're going to have the pain whether you mope around and moan or get out and do something, so you might as well go do something.

Redstone

[Magrittes Pipe]

67. My sexual desirability.

I am astounded at the number of human females I attract. Simply flabbergasted.

[kick-ass-bob]

69. they are not attracted. That is a signal to their friends for help.

[JimmyJazz]

75. Yes, but do you have popeye forearms?

:P

[Magrittes Pipe]

77. Not forearms.

[Blue-Jay]

68. I have a big second butt growing on my left thigh.

:cry:

[Magrittes Pipe]

70. The upsetting thing is that it is fully-functional.

[LaraMN]

71. Ummm... I have a wierd uterus.

One of my babies was sideways for the last few months that I was pregnant. Her head was on my left side. It was wierd.

[Cathyclysmic]

72. I have extremely small hands

It's freakish. People comment all the time. For reference, my shoe size is 9 1/2 (very big)and my ring size is 6 1/2 (very small)

[billyskank]

73. The oddest thing about me

is how depressingly ordinary I am. I can't think of anything that is odd about me, so that itself must be my oddity.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

83. My dear billyskank.......

Now you are far from ordinary, my dear!

You are a good looking and intelligent young man....


Please don't be depressed...All of us here love you, and respect you a whole lot....

OK?

:loveya: :grouphug: :pals:

[billyskank]

86. Peggy

I'm not depressed, and thank you! :hug:

[XNASA]

74. My torso is much to large for my height.

Consequently, I have short arms & legs, especially my humerous and femur.

People are also amazed at my weight. I look like I weight about 20 pounds less, than I actually do.

I swear, if my legs matched my torso, I'd be about 6'4", but I'm only about 5'10".

[jandrok]

76. I have a slightly deformed ribcage

The doctors used to call it "pigeon breast".

[pitohui]

78. i am short

i have height dysphoria (is that how it is spelled) i feel i was meant to be in a tall body

[Rob H.]

82. I have an "anti-birthmark"

At least that's what I call it--whereas most people's birthmarks are caused by excess pigment, mine is marked by a total absence of pigment. (When I get a little sun, it's still stays snow-white because there's no melanin there.) I guess it's a good thing that it's on my chest where no one can see it.

[u4ic]

102. I have vitiligo, too

I'm fairly pale anyway, so it isn't as prominent as it is for some with darker skin. I have it on my ankles, underarms and eyelids.

I also have a big white streak in my hair from it (my hair is medium brown).

[RetroLounge]

84. I think physically I'm just fine the way I am.

Average height and build, a little paunch due to being 44 and not exercising, got all my hair, 2 of everything I should have 2 of, one of everything I should have one of, everything works as it should, etc.

But I have several mental traits I'd like to get rid of...

a thread all in itself.

RL

[GreenPartyVoter]

85. Two of my toes are stuck together

[Patiod]

121. Webbed feet!

I learned to respect and not mock those with "webbed feet" at a party at my church. I was telling folks about a local "haunted house" owned by a small, very inter-related sect in our area. I said the rumor was the sect members "all had webbed feet because they were so inter-bred"

Out of the 14 people at the party (almost all converts - so no "interbreeding") two took great offense and said they, too, had webbed feet and did NOT have weird-looking family trees. Almost every time I repeat the story about how stupid my comment was, someone announces they have webbed toes. Once it was my sister-in-law (whose family I do suspect of inter-breeding, but that's another story).

[TrogL]

87. I have a single Darwin point

They're supposed to be in pairs.

[SarahB]

88. My tailbone protrudes a little.

You can't see it at all, but you can feel it. It wobbles a little too. I broke it during labor with my youngest son.

[SOteric]

90. I have an extra vertebrae. It makes me a smidge more flexible,

a tad taller than I might otherwise have been and not much else, but it sure is fun to watch the docs start counting them on x-rays.

[henslee]

93. Ughk, ughk ughk, ughk ugh,.... or whateve popeye says.

[Dave Reynolds]

96. Funnel chest.

x( x( x(


I will not scare anyone with pictures.

[Hand]

98. So that's what it's called!

Way back when some poor guy at my draft physical had this--I couldn't figure out what the hell it was. He passed the physical, too...

[Dave Reynolds]

99. Yeah, not nice to look at,

but no real physical limitations.

I just have occasional rib pain, and I hope I never need CPR, as my sternum curves right in towards my heart.

[Canuckistanian]

97. I have George Harrison's voice

Except for the singing and millions-of-dollars-a-year salary.

[sui generis]

125. it's all right I have George Harrison's left 'nad

I bought it on e-bay.

;)

[KitchenWitch]

100. Half of my hair is bottle brush coarse

and the other half is baby fine....

[NNadir]

104. I'm fat, bald and ugly. Other than that I'm quite attractive.

Well I kind of smell funny but other than these few things, and my short stumpy legs, if you get past the scars, the moles, and those hairy things that even my dermatologist won't talk about, the old acne scars and the fluids that constantly drip from my nose, and the drooling, I'm quite nice.

[fleabert]

105. I have weirdly skinny ankles and wrists compared to the rest of me...

and my ears are tiny too. Miniscule earlobes.

My shinbones are WAY sharp, hard to explain, but they protrude big time if I bend my knee, rest my leg and let my calf relax.

and, I have the flattest ass on the planet.

[gmoney]

108. Yet, somehow, it all works for you...

Are we cool, Fleab? :scared:

[fleabert]

112. totally hun!

I have just been feeling under the weather...not posting much- I haven't been able to get to email, pm's, or phone messages in a few days... sorry!

:hug:

[gmoney]

115. whew!

:bounce: :party: :thumbsup: :pals: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause:

Not to be paranoid, but it's been THAT kind of week over here...

Sorry to hear you're not entirely on top of your game! Hope you're feeling back to 100% soon.

:hug:

[fleabert]

116. in case you didn't hear... I am officially the shit...

as is Kitchen Witch...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4038499

fun morning in the lounge! the longest I have been on in one sitting in months!

[gmoney]

117. I knew you were Da Bomb...

...but you're Da Shit, too? DAYUM, Fleabeard...

you're more than fly, you're flea, you're SUPERFLEA...

and to all who disagree... fuck all y'all



Now, go find that dayum USB cable, and bring da flizzle.

[fleabert]

123. LOL, da bomb....

funny story...

my 14 year old cousin was trying to be cool with me, dh, and his older sister (26, 26, 16 respectively- at the time). We were making fun of him and he said "I know I'm Da Bomb!" We said, 'you can't just declare yourself 'da bomb', someone else has to say it, ha ha ha!' so he thinks for a minute...then says...

"Well, my Mom says I'm 'Da Bomb', so shut up!"

we were :rofl: so he then adds...

"Grandma thinks so too!"


Kinda had to be there, but we still make fun of him, he's 20 now...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

106. My ears stick out...not at a 90 degree angle from my head....

but they are noticable...unless I keep my hair brushed over them..

I have a birthmark (port wine stain) on the inner aspect of my left forearm....it looks like a cocker spaniel....and its color changes depending on whether I am warm or not..Warm, it's pink...Cool, it turns darker.....

:shrug:

[mongo]

107. I tick like a clock

because my Aortic valve is now made out of stainless steel.

It came with a lifetime gaurantee.

[norml]

109. EEE to EEEE size 12 feet

Shoes are one of the few clothing items that I can't count on finding in my size at the thrift stores.

[Kire]

113. Gynecomastia

http://www.gynecomastia.org/

and some of my fingers and toes are very crooked

[RedCloud]

120. Methinks males get this from mommy and it goes to the daughter...

[Taverner]

118. I have spoon toes

[redqueen]

119. My legs are kinda bowed below the knees.

My calves just don't look right at all.

[Patiod]

122. sneeze at changes in light and temperature

Photic sneeze reflex. Am SO tired of people saying "God Bless You!" 20 times a day, or moving away on the train because they suspect I'm sick.

[underpants]

124. Kick

[Meatwad]

127. I can morph into an igloo, hotdog, bridge, or a flower.

But only the last one if I'm high.

[sui generis]

129. I froze my ass off last winter

but I always seem to have one around for work. Who knew? :shrug:
