A non-metal *slinky* is not a slinky at all. More of a bad AFV video in the making.

At work we treat severe OCD; so this made it around the office awhile back:

I think we have that book as well.

But if they live in the car they're not homeless, right?

I walk up to me door and hate to turn the key
Emptiness is all that waits inside for me
That’s how it is when the one you love is gone
That’s how it is when your car is not a home

I look around and see things marked with his and hers
Little things like this just make things that much worse
That’s how it is since l live my life alone
That’s how it is since my car is not a home

Is there a way out for a soul so torn as mine
Each day l live l’m like a prisoner passing time
That’s how it is, ask anyone who lives alone
That’s how it is when your car is not a home

with all due apologies to Roger Miller/Little Jimmy Dickens

Uhh, no he isn't. As was said before, a car is not a home.

Even if you hang you hat there?

What about an RV?

Any child is a recipe for OCD disaster! My 6 year old drives my OCD tendencies into a frenzy on an almost daily basis. I'm learning to try to be grateful for the learning opportunities this provides for both of us.

My son used to call RVs *house-cars*.
On topic(in OT?

), he is the one exhibiting more OCD characteristics- but I may be catching it from him.

I have OCD man. My coffee table has to be PERFECT. all the Remotes for the electronics are aligned perfectly, the coasters are stacked nicely. My coffee table books are all aligned nicely. Same with everything around my room really.

Home is where the heart is my friend.

My heart is in my chest. I live next to the sternum.
