I add the numbers up on license plates. Can't stand it, but gotta do it...

I'm not sure why that is. Do you have any convents in Hanover?

I do this when I am under extra stress. Otherwise, I'm not aware of it.

I also have a mantra that I find myself repeating over and over in mind when I am under a great deal of stress.

I haven't checked since my last big break-up.
None of them would have me. I think the holy water boiled in my presence.

I know of a retired accountant who had the same problem. Using a combo of drugs and several therapy sessions (I know that sounds tedious), he feels MUCH better and rarely falls back. Good luck.

They don't run my life...yet. :-)

Sometimes I find I cheat to get an even number though. I have a tendecy to break up contractions when it turns out to be an odd number. I'm pathetic, I know. I cheat on my compulsion. There must be a name for it..counter/even/odd/cheater.

what is the steps divided the the dishes?

The square root of that number might be meaningful when plotted for a month.

You know, according to some "experts" I have been talking with, odd numbers are supposed to be better than even numbers. With plants, paintings, and everything else.
