I prefer summer.
I have bad blood circulation, so my hands and feet are always cold.
Coming from a somewhat temperate climate, I know I would probably die if I went to a place where it snows! |

| BlackLiger, I think you're LOUD :!: :!: Most of the time I'm quiet. Recently, I met a fellow autistic. I was so nervous, I didn't stop talking the whole time. I don't know what he made of it. I have done this before and scared people away as they may have thought I came on too strong. The person I m... |

| Hey, Kim. I found that when I started taking Dexamphetamine for ADHD, it was suddenly a lot easier to speak. Like there was a bridge built between my brain and my mouth! For a while I didn't stop talking, as if I were making up for lost time. I'm diagnosed with HFA also, even though there was no del... |

It made me feel warm and fuzzy.

There are reports of Londoners appearing not to be the slightest bit surprised.
So it was a question of not will it happen, but when.
Bombing innocent people like this seems such a cowardly thing to do.
Have just heard on the news that they are fairly sure it was al queda. |

Used to love that show when it was on. Victor's reactions to thing were so funny.
I feel the same way for a lot of things, he voices his opinions, though. which what makes it so cool to watch,

| I really don't like avocado or cucumber. I can smell cucumber if I am in the same room as it. Yuk! Like Ghostistix, I cannot stand mint. Doesn't matter what kind it is. So yes, brushing my teeth is a real chore. Aniseed and licorice are on the same part of the scale as mint. I loathe those too. Nut... |
