My father in law has undiagnosed OCD, and most likely, he also has Tourettes (no spontaneous cursing, he just has a tic where his shoulder twitches when he gets nervous). He frequently takes his wallet out and counts his money, and one of his more prominent obsessions is that he dates EVERYTHING. He will even write the date of purchase on the inside band of his underwear! And it's guaranteed that somewhere on his shoes, he'll have a date on them. I've actually adopted some of this, in that I will place the date of purchase on major appliances, but don't date any of my clothes or other inconsequential items.

Tourettes is one of the more interesting conditions. I'm pretty sure I have at least a mild version of it myself.

It's very difficult to get a handle on.

I make me with OCD, depression, and Tourettes. The latter is the most difficult to figure out.

The booze is there also, but that isn't all that interesting.

J'ever notice you never see any nuns with Tourette's?
Why is that?
