Argh! Voted Yes when I meant to hit No.
I don't mind at all: it's only water. |

| I voted Other since my eyes are a woody brown around the pupil and in wiggly 'spokes' that cut through a pale green outer ring. This is only evident at close inspection. From a distance the human eye perceives my eyes to be brown. Cameras, however, will pick up the green. I'm unique amongst my immed... |

I'd like to turn the tables a bit and, as a male, share the worst opening gambit a female has ever used on me. She snapped her fingers in front of my face and said, "Oi you! Do you like metal music?"
Manners cost nothing. |

| Very, very good. Sounded to me like the bit in at the very end of a Mega Drive (Genesis) era game, where the hero (or anti-hero as it would seem to be in this case) retreats into the distance, having righted whatever particular wrong there was in his or her world. I think the distortion effect is ve... |

| When I read 'This is also the place to say "Hi!

I've since read a post where it was implied that this is the first place everyone... |

It hurt like heck, but I found it really funny. Maybe it's an Aspie thing. When my son tripped backwards while catching a football ... |

| I was taken for a hearing test as a child, on the recommendation of one of my teachers. The results claimed my hearing to be fine, but as I got older I became more and more convinced that I had hearing trouble. The eureka moment came at about the age of 20, when a friend was talking to me whilst we ... |

| I think you've chosen a bad example to emulate. Pam's communication skills don't seem all that good in the excerpt you posted. Notice how the topic conversation was a third party? That's something NT people talk about a lot. It's quite rare for me to participate in those types of conversation - too ... |

Sometimes a small sensory input can trigger sudden and complete recall of a past dream. In some cases I believe these drea... |
