It’s OK guys, I wasn’t feeling like you were cruelly and meanly making fun or anything :). OCD’s a nightmare condition to live with and to live beside but I seriously do wish my kid had gotten a bit more of the obsessive tidying bit as opposed to the handwashing and worrying bit.
I’m deeply grateful to live in a time where there are good drugs for this condition.
My apologies to Cartooniverse. I thought I would help lighten his spirits, instead I showed I got dain bramage.
Sorry.
Q
Am I the only one who read the thread title as “Why I Wish I was Anal Convulsive”?
If I am, forget I asked.
When we first got into it, my ex-wife and I were pretty Anal Compulsive, but it got old quick, and we went back to plain old sex.
Wait, what was this about?
Tears of laughter. Look, it’s obvious that nobody meant to take any shots at anyone’s personal life or situations. Some of these posts are making me laugh out loud. For those posters in here who have to live with it on a moment-to-moment basis, the non-amusing truth is that I have some OCD traits and have never really been treated for it. It doesn’t rule the larger elements of my life but there are uncontrollable patterns that run through the smaller gestures of my life. I’ve always had it and didn’t know it was something other people had until I read about OCD. So, while I may be laughing with you Dopers who are posting more sober comments, I am also empathizing with you.
Quadgop, I sit corrected. 
Quasi, all is good, dude !! 
Dijon? You are deeply hilarious.
I decided to solve the problem on my own. I took more time, and rearranged the literally tens of thousands of little bits and bobs into more cohesive groupings, using the three RolyKits and the one little compartmentalized wall-mounting unit I bought. As soon as I label it all, I’ll be good to go.
I get mentioned in the same thread as the Mercotan??? Whoohoo! My life has worth!

PS: Hey Qad, he mispelled your name! Hee-hee! 
Since my name has no “U’s” in it, I can’t make any interesting names or phrases out of it.
Just thought you should know.
I should have titled this thread, **" WHY I WISH I WAS FUNCTIONALLY LITERATE, OR -WHAT THE ENGLISH TEACHER SAW- " **
what can I say? Qad, you’re a qad. heh.
No, really! I use those algorithm programs that come up with phrases from your name, and when I enter “Qadgop the Mercotan” I just get drivel. 
That’s incredible. There’s no “V” in “Qadgop the Mercotan”.
Cartooniverse: I think he deliberately chose that nickname so that we couldn’t tease him with it! God knows, I’ve tried to get him to add a u, but will he bow to my wishes? NOOOOOOOO!
Still, it’s an honor to be among the Q nicknames with someone as articulate as he.
Message to Qadgop: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D I like you, man!

Oh, I see where THIS is headed. I gotta write to the Admin here and ask to officially change my member name to
