[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad is very quirky.

He makes himself oatmeal every morning for breakfast in the microwave in a giant Pyrex bowl because the oatmeal won’t splatter out of the giant bowl.  And he eats out of the giant bowl.

He has a few limited topics of conversation.  Mostly real estate and cars.  He always asks me what the price of gas is where l live, and how my car is running, when l call every couple of weeks.

He has a good quality but massively heavy and cumbersome vacuum cleaner from the 80’s.  He liked to brag about how good it was.  I think my parents bought it from a door to door vacuum cleaner salesman back in the day.  I gifted them a tiny and practical Dyson.  He loves it so much and uses it daily.  But he doesn’t brag about it. [/quote]

Reminds me a little of my dad with the gas prices.

My dad has a ledger. Every time he fills his tank, he writes down the miles and cost and gallons so he can track gas prices and figure out his miles per gallon. He Will look at every gas price between his house and mine (an hour drive) so he knows the cheapest place to fill up on the way home. And he will discuss it with us at length. God bless him, my husband has taken an interest in the tracking of gas prices and now also pays attention so they can discuss.

I love this, so sweet of your DH.  [/quote]
