Parts posts some interesting things. And reading it has made me miss lutra, he can be pretty funny. Lots of stuff I could say. Everyone has unique quirks.

Me too.

There were a few children books where kids would wake with a sneeze, because of a ray of sunlight getting through the curtains, tickling their faces. (from more than one writer) I never got that, so I thought I was weird for not having this photic sneeze reflex. My mother does have it.

People have been amused when I need to sneeze and try to find a good source of light.

This is an example of how bad my memory is, I have forgotten most of what I have read. Typical me. You are invited, though, to post an interesting quirk or two about yourself. ;)

Me? I'm normal
I've noticed that everybody else has interesting quirks though. Especially NTs  ;)

Wonder if I do?
I need to test that now.

I sneeze in fits of 4 or 6 every morning. Nothing like taking that big fresh breath of morning air when you're allergic to everything. :thumbup:

I get one sneeze out, two at the most. Whereas Ceilidh will sneeze many times in a row. I call them her cat sneezes. ;)
We are both allergic to cats and dust.

I'm pretty sure photic sneezes are somehow genetic.  My son has it too.  :nerdy:
