well, as long as he has clean hands, does it really matter?
clean hands are a nice thing.
Dys! Every bite, off the same plate. Every potato chip. it's weird! (You're weirder)
Yes, clean hands are a good thing, though.
My son's fiancee washes her hands and brushes her teeth multipl times a day. I don't know if her hands are rough, but her teeth are gorgeous, so there could be worse things!

Really autistic? How old is he?
if he's adult he is not autistic, the diagnostic label for an adult is schizo-fritzo, check the DSM IV. (or possibly "full-blown twinkie- I don't keep up on the argot like I used to."
Hahaha! No,
not really autistic, just some autistic-like tendencies. He's more of the twinkie sort.
Six feet, two inches of Twinkie!
He just has some odd quirks. That's my boy!
Suzy, Dys has given the word "weird" a whole new meaning. Sometimes it can be wonderful.
I don't know whether to tell you to egg his car, or ask him to clean yours.
Oh, I've always thought weird was wonderful.
It's pretty funny... weird didn't become a positive thing for, like, decades after I decided it was indeed positive. Same with unicorns and the color purple. I'm just
so ahead of my time.
uh huh.
Slappy, were you on vacation?
Not on vacation...just been busy. I know you miss me, but hang in there buckaroo.
Hmm...too bad you already made contact. It would have been much more fun if you just walked by him daily and just said "Umm, you missed a spot." Hours of entertainment.
{wicked grin}
He does do that head bobble thing where he checks different angles to make sure he didn't miss any spots. He looked back at his baby three times on his way in last night.
This is sort of touching. I do think he is a little unwell and I am sort of enjoying it from afar as I deal with a dear friend/business partner who just never stops with the cleaning and remodelling and the gardening and the horse grooming. Meanwhile I am developing my lazy streak, when I have been fairly known among cohorts for doing several careers at once, and so on.
Surely I have my own reasons to seek lazing about, but I admit to some turnoff at hearing she is painting the living room again.
This from a veteran remodeler, Me.
I may be the prototype of some old saying about how to get things done efficiently, ask a lazy person. Not exactly true for me, I have my very organized and laborious ways, which bring in time a need for respite. But as time goes by, I sort of let things float, seeing what needs to get done and engage in that.
Frankly, I am rather fond of festering ideas and tasks and such for a while. Usually it is useful, the festering part.
Multiple car polishing? Give this man a creative hobby. Tile production?
What you describe is Sisyphygian, however you spell that. Clean, dirty, clean, dirty, treadmill..........
Sisyphus, hmmm . . .
That ought to be sisyphian, no?
Anyway, that would only apply if he pushed the jeep up a slope to park it, only to watch it roll back down again--eternally.
The more I read this thread the more grateful I am not to live in some big ole' Yankee city with all these weirdos...washing their cars and sniffing their food and such...here in Eastern North Carolina we just quietly go about our business fv cking our cousins :wink:
Hence the term 'kissing cousins'...or was that something else...
