The black Jazz J/J belongs to a friend of mine who is also a member of this forum but I don't know his username here, he is jonnyrok101 in the Dingwall forum, funny enough we found out we only live 2 miles away from each other in Greenwich,SE London so we got together for a nice Dingwall Matinee' with coffees, basses and amps, loads of fun!

daz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) I am sure no offense was intended. (for those that don't know) OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder, it can take many forms from crippling preoccupation with repetitive actions such as washing hands again and again (or a certain number of times) or violent or religious thoughts. Or maybe counting the number of paving stones in a walk or number of steps taken. Excessive neatness is also a symptom. Ruby wax told of how after stringently cleaning an already spotless house, her mother would get out a tape measure and set square and make sure all the furniture was in exactly the [i]right[/i] place: IE the TV had to be exactly 20 inches from the back wall and each side had to be the exact same distance from the side walls. OCD can take many forms such as obsessive collecting, which i think was obviously (to me anyway) what was meant here. Many people have this in greater of lesser forms. I'm sure we have all marveled at pictures of rooms literally bursting with basses, often of the same type or even the same colour. Some may laugh it of as GAS when it really is a bit more serious and costs relationships to be ended. Mild forms of OCD can pop up at any time often in times of Stress. such as constant coughing or clearing of ones throat. I used to do the latter myself. I was vaguely aware of doing it, but not until, someone i had only known a while told me it was getting on his nerves, did i realize anyone else had noticed it. Frankly I'm glad he said it, as I'm sure within a few weeks id stopped doing it. I'm sure all that Gub meant was a mild dig at your number of same type of guitars, no offense intended.

Im sure we have all marvelled at pictures of rooms litterally bursting with basses, often of the same type or even the same colour. Some may laugh it of as GAS when it really is a bit more serious and costs relationships to be ended. My own attic is crammed with litterally thousands of videos i will never watch (anyone see the Bob Monkhouse documentary last week ? The man was an obvious OCD sufferer, but still lived a happy and successful life) As for myself I have more books than the average mobile library van im sure.

If for one moment we forget that we are chatting via the internet, and instead imagine this exact situation recreated in real life, like if we were all invited to this "big" party, don't you think that a total stranger would think twice before asking someone if they have ocd at the risk of offending the bloke and be rewarded back with a bunch of 5's, or worse? Of course we all react differently, but maybe 5 out of 10 people would take offense to it as I would, cause I am not one known to show the other cheek.
