Hang onto your Felix Friends

Felix - from "The Odd Couple" by Neil Simon.

They are the ones who point out your mistakes, the dust rhinos, and help you keep your life in order. They "tsk" at your organizational style. Hey you understand it, right? Of course, underwear belongs in a bag with your collection of 20-yr-old "Bloom County" books.

ALL of my friends are neat. And neat. I am like Oscar and they are all Felix. Which means I'm pretty bad off if all of 'em are finicky - that I must surround myself with that many Felix types. Even my ex-husband was a Felix.

Be afraid - of my lifestyle. Not them. For every Oscar, there's a Felix, or ten.

So, Oscars? Let the Felixes neaten up and tell you how to be neat. You can ignore 'em or think "cool, it does look great" and "wow, so that's where my book/paper/underwear was."

Felixes? Let the Oscars tease you - you know they're just jealous. I have to say that - I value my Felix friends too much.
