| What kind of girls are you looking for? You mention playing sports in your leisure time--that usually goes with watching team sports. I would think so, anyway. People may pay more attention to what someone does in their leisure time than what books they read or the people/things they can't live with... |

| Poor all around. Don't know if the balance issues are related to my narrow Eustachian tubes that tend to back up (side effect of the TMJ) or something else. I'm constantly tripping and falling over stuff. I watch my feet when I walk. All of that. (Strangely enough, I'm an OK dancer, though--go figur... |

| I use FB as a form of therapy. It gives me time to think of an appropriate response & gives me an idea of how to understand what responses are good and which are, well, not so good. That's just how I feel. Gives me a way to understand how people communicate and then can apply those skills to th... |

I did the same thing with the encyclopedia. My mom thinks to this day that it's normal to read the encyclopedia cover to cover. Like it was a novel. |

| I'm an Aspie female and I haven't found it to be particularly easy. If anything, it might be worse, since other women just want to talk about their husbands and kids. It seems like it's more socially acceptable for men to be single. If a woman is single, there must be something wrong with her and sh... |

The tetanus shots also contain a Pertussis booster (whooping cough) which is quickly reaching epidemic status in many places in the U.S. In the thousands of cases, including severa... |

I am trying to be laid back about things, but not sure if I should have said something. At the same time I don't want to be a pushover. What if the dog poops and... |

| Vaccines do not cause autism. In any way, shape or form. They do not make autism symptoms worse nor do they cause the syndrome. It is a myth that is perpetuated by several different groups (Age of Autism for one) and latched onto by people desperate for answers as to why their child is the way he/sh... |

| Not a bad list, but sadly lacks: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989). Arguably the best of the National Lampoon movies. Clark Griswold is waiting for his Christmas bonus while his family is visiting and driving him crazy. Great performances by Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo and Randy Quaid. ... |
