    howdy!

    every now and again, i get anxious. to help with the anxiousness, i will unintentionally develop a habit. for 3 weeks, it's brushing my teeth and tongue with baking soda throughout the day. quirky, huh?

    last week, i told my friend in passing about it. he was concerned about it. ( i thought it was harmless), but, he said i could damage my teeth. so, for the last week, i have just been rinsing/gargling with baking soda and water.

    my quirky habits dont last longer than the reason i am anxious (2 days to 6 weeks).

    so, there it is, my current quirky habit.....what's yours?

    wiki disagress with your friend.

    A paste made from sodium bicarbonate and a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution can be used as an alternative to commercial toothpastes, and sodium bicarbonate in combination with other ingredients can be used to make a dry or wet deodorant. Sodium bicarbonate is a common ingredient in alternative and natural brands of toothpaste and deodorant. It can be used as a treatment for dandruff due to its anti-fungal properties.

    You will have to come up with something much more 'quirkier' if you want to know mine!

    cameo-d,

    i really thought the act of brushing with baking soda thru-out the day was quirky!

    i think if i got any quirkier, it would be weird.

    so, any quirky habits that are on the same level as mine?

    Baking soda paste can be too abrasive and may scratch or erode your enamel.

    I suggest you consult your dentist rather than a DB or wiki (written and up-dated by anyone with a computer). Wiki may be a good reference but is hardly an authority.

    I have a few OCD traits but can't think of any to post at the moment. Sorry!

    Lately, I'm just being lazy. Got to change that. Maybe tomorrow...~!

    my quirky habits don't stay long.

    oh...you are doing this all day long, huh?

    Have you ever heard of a condition called pica?

    Maybe that's what's wrong with you.

    My quirk is trying to diagnose everyone.

    I have a habit of talking to much. I tried to get help for it by going to On and on Anon

    cameo-d,

    you are too funny!

    there are lots of things wrong with me.

    Wiki: Often the substance eaten by those with the disorder contains the mineral of deficiency. If a mineral deficiency is not identified as the cause of pica, it often leads to a diagnosis of a mental disorder.

    so, either 1.) i have a mineral deficiency 2.) i have a mental disorder 3.) it's just a quirky habit for now.

    i think your quirk can be beneficial to those willing to hear your diagnosis.
