I am absolutely stunned.<BR/><BR/>Debra, when people come visit me on my blog, I try to visit theirs and saw no link to yours, so assumed you hadn't one.<BR/><BR/>Your photography is at a level that astounds me! I am lusting after your lens and hope to someday be almost as good as this.<BR/><BR/>Oh, about the OCD thing, I have a whole lot of issues/quirks and a lot of them mirror Deb's comment above! Especially the part where you invite people over and spend the day before in an absolute crazy-woman panic to get your house clean!<BR/><BR/>Excuse me, but I have more pictures to lust after . . .Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454759244521855483.post-11263369016182779952008-06-28T09:57:00.000-04:002008-06-28T09:57:00.000-04:00Oh My! All of the above is so true of me. I am so ...Oh My! All of the above is so true of me. I am so pass OCD. Now I am just brain dead to the piles of mess. My house cleaning routine used to be: vaccumn everyday, clean bathrooms top to bottom, make beds, put everything away before I go to bed and never go to bed with a dirty kitchen. Thank God, I am so over that. My wonderful Love Bird is a total mess. He leaves everything where he touches it. I spent 25 years trying to change him. Yes, I yelled, threw things, threw things away. You name it and I did it. One day I just quit. The only place I am still like the above person is our house in Fla. We do not have a lot of junk there and I refuse to let the junk pile up. After a certain amount of time out it goes. I love it. I really like going there by myself. There is still a touch of the person above in me somewhere. Debra, just think, one day when we retire to Camp Rector. We will let Jamie and Jason deal with all of our Quirks! We will be just crazy old ladies laughing at them having a blast. Do we do that now?Cherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12294315961991346225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454759244521855483.post-69691980886695228952008-06-27T17:12:00.000-04:002008-06-27T17:12:00.000-04:00Debra, your house is always beautiful and spotless...Debra, your house is always beautiful and spotless when I come over. Not sure how you keep up with 7 bathrooms, 5 are more than enough for me. I'm not really sure what my OCD behaviors are, but I have them. Things being out of place drive me crazy. My messy house puts me over the edge. But it kind of builds up. I'm blind to the mess for a long period of time and then all of a sudden my eyes "see" the pig stye I live in and I lose it. It's nice to know that I'm not alone.Judyannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203570393428794421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1454759244521855483.post-19359834276529943132008-06-27T09:59:00.000-04:002008-06-27T09:59:00.000-04:00Wow, I'm not sure I'd want to work with dsr524!

He can rub elbows with the best of them, and practically swoon in nostalgic contemplation while his idol Jimmy Buffet croons "Son of a Sailor".

George Carlin played it well...."why do cars drive on the parkway but park on the driveway?"<BR/>or "Everyone line up alphabetically by height". George knew the way to turn a phrase. And the only fuzz he got excited about (and not that much) wore badges. I'm thinking the hippy dippy weatherman didn't have an OCD bone in his body. <BR/>Way cool.

Even on increasingly frequent occasions we look at each other in the ocassionally intense mental turf battles and break out laughing. It's nice to know that we are both getting to be 'adults' (whatever that is) who don't sweat the 'small stuff'. Now if we only had a toilet fuzz fairy who could swish out the toilets when I'm not around to do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
