And you know, there is plenty about me (and probably about most of us) that isn't "original equipment", simply b/c we live our lives and have experiences and find better ways and different ways as the years pass.

If someone asks how I am, I often answer "Just peachy!" b/c a friend from long ago used to say that and I liked it and started doing it myself.

I cut up bell peppers by cutting off the top, then cutting them in half before taking out the seeds, etc. This is how my mom does it, so that is how I learned. I've seen others cut the pepper in half first and then proceed.

But somehow those things seem different from the things I'm talking about at the start of the thread, even though they're all just learned behaviors--maybe b/c they don't "go against the grain" for me like fretting about dogs in the bathroom and so on? They just feel different somehow.

Thanks for the support and shares, folks!
