| Also I hate being in the way, and usually when it's crowded you're standing in somebody's way. I hate being in the way as well, especially when I'm shopping. That might be due to combo of being taught to move out of customers way when I was working in retail & me seeming to be in my mom's way a... |

| I prefer to avoid crowds. Some of my medical stuff says I have claustrophobia because I hate being on majorly overcrowded buses & places with major crowds but I don't have a problem with tight spaces in general like small closets. I think my issue is more social anxiety & something like PTSD... |

| I haven't listened to regular on the air radio in many years. I have a much wider variety & fewer commercials with streaming sites & apps than with commercial radio. With standard commercial radio they play 40 minutes of music at most during an hour & the songs repeat every hour or so. C... |

| The oldest electronic things I have that I still use at least ocasionally are my Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis 3, & my TI-86 graphing calculator. I'm not sure which is the oldest but I've had N64 the longest. I would guess that the TI86 would be the most eclectic of the three. |

| Unfortunately I always seem to have more urgent things to spend my money on these days. But when I was a lad, I had a ring with a silvery skull on it, and when I turned it to face downwards a bit, 2 little jewels appeared in its eye sockets and a little red tongue popped out of its mouth. I still l... |

| I use toenail clippers for my fingernails in addition to my toenails. I have some problems with fine motor-skills & bigger clippers are easier for me to handle. I also have some problems with my feet that may or may not be related to my toenails being weird. I can have problems cutting my toenai... |
