Are you OCD

Good eye Hank, I should have known you'd be the one to call me out on this. FYI, its Hornsby's Hard Cider. Don't drink it myself but I was a little ashamed it was in there and so I tried to hide it.
I felt the need to post again for some reason, otherwise the Yankees will not win this year...
When you think about that -- what they call OCD, is really just superstition. But I'm sure some pharm company makes a drug for it now, so they call it a disorder
I have to run, because I need to put three strands of garlic on my door, facing southwest, so the vampires don't get me tonight... xf

Vampires got you a longtime ago.I felt the need to post again for some reason, otherwise the Yankees will not win this year...

That might explain why I have no blood left in my alcohol stream...
xfI was thinking sometime back, that this all goes to physics -- cause and effect. If you place your food cans label out, does it in fact affect how an event will turn out. Perhaps it is merely coincidence -- on the other hand, it may work.
Here's an interesting example:
If I walk out to the parking lot where my car is, and walk by the new neighbors house -- their dog will bark. Their dog is deaf, and cannot see me. If I walk out the other way (but same door), he does not bark. Perhaps the dog can smell me. On the other hand, perhaps the dog was destined to bark at that particular time and place...
Now, if I place my notebook (paper for those who don't remember that) to my right on my desk, the dog doesn't bark.
So, if we assume that the universe is one big entity (think of your body for instance) -- then what happens in one part of your foot, could have an effect on your right arm, or stomach. So you have all these particles floating around us, and you change something, it could have an effect on somebody down the street, or across the planet.
Superstition may actually have a basis in science...
Dude, all you had to say was it was your wife's or that somebody left it from last week's poker game.
I turned it around so hopefully nobody would notice what it was and I'd not have to make up excuses why it was in my fridge. But Sherlock aka Hank had to go examine my beverage selection and notice.:tribiggrin:But anyhoo, that crap was left by a friend of mine a few weeks ago.
Sorry to highjack your thread Tommy.
You and me, Mac!
I like things a certain way at home, but at a gig....I am relentless.
My major issue is with symmetry. The lack of it drives me NUTS!
I hate it when I cannot put my lights in the MIDDLE, and have to put it off to one side!
I'm not so bad with the lights, but I'll be darned if that table skirt is even an 1/8 of an inch off kilter.
Yeah -- cheap vodka in the beer xf
Actually, I have a few hobbies -- physics, meteorology and gardening.
Physics can pretty much explain superstition, because it has been repeated so many times, by so many people.
Think on this for a moment:
When you have a large sunspot, it effects our electronics 93 million miles away here on Earth. Why? Because the particles are moving from point A, to point B. They then interact with the particles at point B. If the sunspot had not happened, your communications would not have been affected. Hence the cause and effect thingy.
So, if I move a speaker, do the particles change direction, and go somewhere else, and interact with other particles?
Essentially, anything you do, has an effect on something else. Those are the laws of nature (which Newton described fairly well IMHO). So, I would suggest that superstition, does have its basis in natural law.
OCD == Superstition == Laws of Nature
My nephew thought I was OCD for always shifting the manual gearbox in my cars into 2nd before Reverse. So one day he asked me about it and I just showed what happens a lot of the times when you don't, the gear crunch or gnashing.
I don't think I'm OCD. I concern myself with things i consider important. Things that are not important, I don't spend any time dealing with or worrying about.
Which way my beer and my bills are facing are of no concern to me
