A few "unusual" in that I should delete them as they are totally irrelevant now (old contacts for previous trips in overseas countries). Other ones that might be unusual: the place that does 'eyebrow threading', the Indian restaurant we like to get take out from, Roadside Assistance (AAA), etc.

Today in History: 1900 - Trademark "Escalator" registered by Otis Elevator Co Good old Otis. We have them here in Oz. They're called "lifts" here. 1911 - 1st running of Indianapolis 500 1912 - 15 young women fired by Curtis Publishing for dancing "Turkey Trot" during their lunch break That's a bit harsh! 1942 - The biggest selling record of all time was recorded. "White Christmas", was recorded by Bing Crosby for Decca Records. More than 30-million copies of Crosby’s have been sold and a total of nearly 70-million copies, including all versions of the standard, have been sold. Great song, great voice. Play it every Christmas! 1967 - Australian Paul McManus water skis barefoot for 1:30:19

I did,did you Question:
Ok lol how many of you sent the link on "how to type upside down" or sent a upside down message to friends or family not on CD ? Not I, but maybe the next attorney I write about a contract or someone I'm PO'd at, I'll type the email upside down lol Thanks for the idea Karla
Bonus Question:
Do you have any unusual numbers in your cell phone contact list ? (ie: favorite restaurants.repair folks etc ) For me service providers aren't unusual to store, as it makes it handy to call them from wherever. Now when cleaning up/out my contact list of stored names/numbers, I do keep people I really never ever want to talk to again so caller ID shows it's them calling and I don't pick up - and they don't leave a VM = Win/Win
Extra Credit Question:
Have you ever tried: Water skiing ? Once - let go of the bar/rope when you fall or you'll almost drown Snow skiing ? Once and had 5 year olds laughing at me when they passed me on the bunny hill Snowmobileing ? Now this I loved and did as much as possible. Nothing like zooming around through the snow. Really only snow sport I enjoyed. Going the wrong way up an Escalator ? when much, much younger Pushing more than one floor button on an Elevator ? this too, though after I became an adult and had a kid do it to one I was riding in I realized how annoying it was to the other people in the elevator. Needless to say my DS learned early it wasn't a nice thing to do to others.
Just for Fun:
Are you a Sybarite ? No Unusual things you have used a paperclip for ? How are you at using Chop Sticks ? Can't and always hated having to ask for a fork when everyone else at the table, including my DS, could use them.

Bonus Question:
