• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What are you obsessive/compulsive about?

I have a habit of checking the time constantly when I'm expecting company, when expecting a phone call, or when I'm cooking. I love sweets. I also have a habit of making sure the doors are locked and my bedroom door is locked before I go to bed.

I have to have my closet doors closed :) At least I used to 'cause I was afraid of what might come out when I sleep :D I don't care as much anymore.

I am compulsive about cleaning down my sink and counters after I have prepped chicken. I get out all of the Clorox stuff, because I feel soap just isn't enough. I don't want to get nor do I want anyone to get salmonella poisoning.
I guess I could put this in the irrational fears thread over in WD too.

Most people describe me as obsesive compulsive because i dont like to sit still. Even when m sitting down i have to be tapping my foot or doing something. But as far as my major quirks let me see: i have to have the closet door shut when i sleep, my feet have to be completely covered up when i sleep. i also have a fear of having bad breath so i carry mouthwash and those listerine strips evrywhere. Im sure i have more but i cant think of any right now.

I also have to wash my hands everytime after I use the bathroom.
Have been doing that for eighteen years.
Just a habit I guess.

I wish everyone had this habit! I get creeped out when I think about people in food service and what bacteria may be lurking..... I was at a mall in Bloomington, IN and out of 5 people who used the restroom (including myself) while I was in there...only 2 washed their hands! (me and my coworker!)
:eek:

I can soooooooooooo relate to the foot-tapping thing! I"m sure I used to drive teachers/profs crazy because I would sit in the first row of class (because my hearing isn't the greatest...nor is my ability to stay focused! lol) and I would CONSTANTLY be moving my leg. I still do it.

Breath issues....yeah, I have gum with me a lot anymore hoping that helps. lol

At one point, my hands getting them wash all the time became so extreme that they were getting dry. That I had to use lotion on my hands after I washed my hands not once but twice at the time at one point.
