Hi. You're all going to think I'm a little strange. Does any of you, while drinking or recovering smell their hands( well between the fingers) and it smells different? It's a smell I can't really describe but I actually like it. It reminds me of my brother who died. It's weird but it's not a horrible smell, it's nice ?

    Hi. Yes a lot of us are ocd. All the best people are, David Beckham is, haha!! I'm not over the top and try not to let it take over my already crazy mind. Like keeping house tidy, everything in place, like cushions , wonky pictures. I have to stop my mind from controlling me in this way. Bringing up 3 kids helped me to let go and go with the flow! Impossible to have a spotless house with young kids. Going to the loo in public, once I've flushed the loo and washed hands, I use a paper towel when opening the door so don't get germs!!

    Re the smell. It's not a dirty unpleasant smell like if you haven't washed for days, I get it when I'm ill too. Think it's just toxins really. I'm not a smelly sweaty person.. Lol

      I don't sit on loo seat in public toilets, I just hover above, good for thigh muscles !!! Men are lucky they don't have to sit down in loos unless they need a poo..lol!! Though I hear that a lot don't wash hands after..yuk!!!

      I do like your posts Ade, learn something everyday on here. I'd never heard of dysthymic disorder( googled it and have it I think!). Or the monkeys paw, like that too. X

      Oh Paper Fairy... I am so happy when I know something modern.   LMFAO = Laughing my fat arse off ! 

      I loved Charlie... lovely scent from long ago...not slang for drug.

      We were so innocent.

      I wear Chanel No.5 in bed... + pajamas... + socks...+ Dressing gown, if it's cold.

      Perfectly normal... in my world.

      Great isn't it, caught short, find a tree or bushes and the job's a good 'un.

      I remember going to a rugby match at Twickenham in the late '80s early '90s. They didn't have as many toilets as now and the interval was 5 minutes max, no going off the field for the players.

      So if you went to the toilet, you'd miss the start of the 2nd half. So all the blokes just went in the stairwell (concrete) against the wall. Rivers of p*ss running down the steps.

      The computer thing changes what you put in.  Not even predictive text.  I know how I want to spell words.  Then, I read back later... it is different.  I blame technology.  It is not the answer to everything.

      Ha ha re lmfao, new one for me. Remember a few years ago, my partner(on/off) said he found it a bit strange when men were putting lol at end of messages. He thought it meant "lots of love" and thought they were coming on to him!!

      I thought that for ages. Kept using it as lots of love. Wondering why others use of it seemed weird.  Just check with your youngsters... There is an alternative language, out there.  We just need to know ... what we need to know. LOL 😀

      That may be why it seems to have been changed to "hahahaha" lately.

      Did you mean LOL?  ....I have been drinking. Brain not "compos mentis". Sorry. The tablet obviously does not block the lack of function. Alcohol dulls the ...well, everything.  Don't understand my addiction. Sorry.

      Somebody else suggested handcream and cotton gloves before bed, said that didn't bother them at all.

      Yes, I meant lol. It would help if the replies would go right under the post that one was replying to, but for some reason they seem to go to the bottom instead. I'll have to remember to paste in a quote so it's easier to keep track of.
