She wants you to see someone closer, and she wants you to see someone more frequently than you see her.
I get that but it just seems odd that she does that and then I get dropped by her colleague the same week. |

| I have been seeing a therapist for about 5 months now. She thought that I might be on the spectrum and did all the referral work for testing for me and I was diagnosed with ASD. She recently moved offices from one that was in walking distance from my home to one fairly far away. So much so I can onl... |

I used to play FSX when I had a windows machine now I have a Mac and I haven’t yet to find a suitable replacement that works on MacOS.
I never heard of x-plane it looks like it’s available for Mac too  |

| How do you feel about Kennedy Airport? I live about 15 minutes from there by car. I haven't been there in about 10 years, even though it was kinda run down then (holes in the roof, pigeons in the terminal etc) I loved it as there were still remnants of the the PanAm WorldPort era in the Delta termi... |

| Pretty much everything, I don't have any friends (mainly just acquaintances) or romantic relationships. I spend so much time on the internet researching things and then spend my free time (and money) traveling to different airports. |
