| exercise raises testosterone levels! Testosterone is responsible for sex drive. Yes, women have testosterone in them too! Lifting weights will give the most testosterone enhancement, even moreso than cardio exercises. |

| Okay, this past week, I have been trying to clean up my yard from all the storm debris that Hurrican Irene as thrown around. This has involved running a chain saw, leaf blower, weed eater, and other tools that have small 2-cycle engines on them. Granted, these tools are awful to run in their own rig... |

| I hate clapping myself. Not just because of the sound, but the feeling involved...Sending shock waves from my hands up my arms. When attending shows, people always remark why I'm not clapping, and ask if I didn't like the performer, speaker, etc. When I tell them I simply don't like clapping and fin... |

| From my perspective, it appears as if Neurotypicals need the approval from other NT's if something is worth getting worked up about, be it good or bad, and the direction their emotion should go towards. For most NT's watching a newscast they will usually set their emotion to the emotion conveyed by ... |

| The fewer people, and closer to me clapping, the worse! When it's a huge room full of thousands of people, it sort of turns to white noise and isn't all that bad, but when it's someone close by, like while standing beside someone at a show or something, it can become very annoying. It is most annoyi... |

He's occasionally taken a little transistor radio with him while he does his work. His radio has a tinny little speaker o... |

What I am talking about is that it the style of supermarkets nowadays is to build them with open ceilings and exposed beams, versus using acoustic tile ceilings. The ceilings are typically much higher, and the lighting is mercury vapor flo... |

As far as I can remember back from economics class, this is called enterprenuism, and it can only exist in a capitalist so... |

I liked it when mom took main roads to get places, when her car was running about 45-50mph, it had a very pleasing tone to it. When she would get on the highway with it, the car was running much faster and produced mor... |
