I can't say whether or not Scott Adams used that same concept in more than one strip at other times. I can't say whether or not that strip has been reprinted at other times in other places. I can't say how many of the Dilbert books that strip appeared in. I can say I've got a framed copy of it on my... |

Hey! Please don't say it is what I voted for! It's what I have to live with because apparently a bunch of folk did vote for him...which I cannot understand. There was a time in the 2016 election when there were five candidates still in play: Clinton, Cruz, Kasich, Sanders, and Trump When Kasich (who... |

Congratulations on the diagnosis! I hope you continue enjoying WP. And I was a really late diagnosis. I had my assessment and got my diagnosis all in the month before my 65 th birthday. By which time I'd been retired twice, most recently while I was 56...so I never really associated things in my lif... |

While there are many possible mistakes to be made, I'll warn folk here not to make the same mistake I made shortly after I was diagnosed. I thought I'd done reasonably well for myself. Then I thought "I wonder if there are any famous Autistic people..." I made the mistake of checking . My ... |

From the Dilbert Principle: "a high IQ doesn't have much practical application". It certainly doesn't help you get on with other people! It may help you solve a lot of issues, but it doesn't help you to find the right questions... :D I have a framed copy of the February 3, 1992 Dilbert st... |

This evening we both had some Buffalo Trace Bourbon Creme.
We chilled it but did not mix it. When I went to get a link for this post I notice they kept plugging having it with root beer.
That sounds interesting. |

Working was getting me to where I did not really care much about my mortality. I'd see doctors, I'd do what they said, but the prospect of death wasn't that disturbing. I was quite unhappy. :( Then I retired. :D The trip was not pleasant, but it turned out to just be a means to an end. The end is ni... |
