1. The first thing that comes to mind is—Zits! Ugh! Never squeeze them. Gross! I was traumatized in high school by someone, who will remain annonymous, squeezing a zit in study hall!
2. Grandkids! Love grabbing them up and squeezing them tight. Now that they are getting older, they will probably start running away when they see me coming.
3. I squeeze tomatoes and fruits to see if they are ripe enough to suit me. JD is quick to chastise. Something about bruising. Then how will I really know they are ripe?
4. There is the toothpaste tube. I squeeze it until I'm sure I've gotten every possible bit on my toothbrush. A legacy from my father who lived through the great depression and was always frugal.
5. When target shooting, one must squeeze the trigger. I'm learning to shoot JD's handgun. I'm not a big fan of guns, but after our uninvited guest a few weeks ago, I decided learning would be a good thing.

I think he's gonna' learn to love the snow.
My gosh -- I cut the toothpaste tube in half with kitchen shears when I can't squeeze any more out of it... you get about two days more that way~ Must confess that I don't still follow most the frugal rules I was taught as a kid , but for some reason I can't shake that one.
LOL....I didn't realize we were supposed to follow the theme of squeezing. Dang.
Live and learn.
Squeezing zits does not conjure a good picture in my head. ;-) I'll pass.
As for squeezing the toothpaste tube, I too do that as you do. Bud on the other hand wastes...it IS growing up with frugal parents who lived through the depression and saved/pack-ratted everything.
For some reason I am not seeing a photo, just a white blank after your written post. I will come back later.
Who doesn't love to squeeze their grandkids? It is a great pleasure in life. Do you have one of those little plastic gadgets that you put on the toothpaste tube and you can roll it up to get every last little bit?
Cute post! And I love the Fergus video.. I hope it is not a bad winter! Thank you for linking up to my critter party. Enjoy your weekend!
Awww - cute video!
That is so cute - Fergus.
And I run a a flat edged knife along my toothpaste tube to make sure there is absolutely none left in there.

Fergus fun in the snow! I don't think I am ready for that white stuff yet but I think we are going to get a lot of it this winter.. I hear and read that anyway!
I didn't know about the theme either but I forgot about willy nilly anyway.
i do the toothpaste squeeze too, in fact i try to get every last drop out of everything i buy otherwise i feel like i am wasting! that fergus is so cute! have a great weekend and thanks for linking!
I do the thing with toothpaste, too. I don't squeeze fruit/vegies--go by how they feel in my hand. And smell in some cases. And I don't know how to explain to you the feel I am looking for. Of course, I am not always right even then...LOL
Oh wow. I love the Fergus video! Hug.
