Lets start on the subject of the proper way of toilet paper on the holder. Ha! DD1 got a playmobil doll house for her birthday. The bathroom came complete with toilet paper you had to put on the holder. I had to fix it for her, because she put it on the wrong way.

Virgil, you lost me at "intrinsic"! Isn't there a simpler, easier way of telling someone that they are off their rocker?

Well why didn't you ask .....The most important thing that happens to us, after conception, is that our cells form firstly into a donut......... and then tube (like macaroni) The centre of the tube forms the digestive tract......and in our primordial soup days, we were probably more akin to worms or nematodes All other features are as a reaction to environmental conditions. Basically food goes in one end and out of the other. We have learned, through experience... that pathogens can be contained in the outlet valve which can threaten the existence of our very being. .......and an organism that kills itself ......is not a very clever organism. We have a fixated desire.....which has been present in all the human civilisations, since time began, to keep ourselves clean and free from contamination. The best toilet paper storage..... is obviously the most efficient one.....for us as humans to stay healthy and continue our evolution. Flap to the front, of course.

I think a dislike of doors is a latent form of claustrophobia. You need an escape route.....you don't want to feel trapped or forced into accepting the unknown.... which comes from a closed door. You need the freedom to roam like a wild animal needs to shake off its chains. You need to be able to fully assess a situation to make you feel safe, so that when the fight or flight swings into play, you have options. As for the unpacking of boxes. This is a form of OCD where you claim ownership of items you have purchased and stash them like a squirrel saving up for winter. Its a natural link to our past... where we had times of great famine. Survival of the fittest.....Your ancestors who did not do this probably starved to death. Own your food and stash it, is an innate response... initiated by the hardships we once endured. Open shelving again is the need to be able to assess a situation... stemming from an innate survival response. You need to check for snakes or poisonous spiders. Solution....Valium... or a large glass of wine. Wrong. Totally wrong. Let me ask you something: Which of us has an advanced degree from the Nigerian College of Medicine, Phrenology, and Homeopathic Wellness? I know it's not you. Leave psychoanalysis to the experts, madam.

As my professor in my Defense Against the Dark Uncia class once said, "These three things I know to be true: there are no free rides, there are no good uncia, and there are no simple human psyches."

I have taken a slightly scientific approach to my quirks. If I can verbalize and prove a reason (other than 'because that is how I want it') I stick with it. If I can't, I may or may not still do it, but I don't force my family to also do it. I usually try to do it another way, just to see if I really do like it another way. I figure that method helps me keep my mind flexible.
I actually leave capri suns in the box, because I find them unruly. They don't stay standing, so keeping them contained us good. But I always take soda cans out of the box otherwise we would have empty boxes in there and that sucks.

Lets start on the subject of the proper way of toilet paper on the holder. Just spent 4 days in hospital. One of tests was colonoscopy. During the prep, I had to change the toilet paper because it is supposed to go over, not under. Then the bathroom was so small. With the door closed, I got totally claustrophic. Ended up with the door propped open to the bathroom and door to hall closed. Bathroom was so much smaller than my bathroom at home and, since it's just the cat and me, I don't close the door. Alas, that prep didn't work out as it all came back up. Had to do it though an ng tube the next day. Had me use a commode for that so no issues with door.

I always enjoy the comments about how you have hemorrhoids after your prep. No shit Sherlock. If you've been pooping your guts out, your butt is going to complain.

I'm amazed at my own insight. Who is anyone to say it isn't true..... Everything is relative in degrees of truthfulness. Think I might write a book..... could be on to a winner.
