| Apparently I come over a bit too intelligent (also by knowing strange stuff) and it even scares or confuses people. Like mentioned above, wikipedia is dangerous and I sometimes do get trapped in there, caught in the web for hours. I am extremely slow (sometimes answering questions days after). In a ... |

Welcome, 39 and while the first mentions were a few years ago also just had the official verdict two weeks ago (hard to find what you need to do and where to go).
Quite a lot of people know I have some psycho issues since I joke about the tests a lot but the real reason is known to few people. |

| Since I haven't been here in some years, a small update. Irix is dead (died peacefully about 1.5 years ago). The quest for an official diagnosis continues but on the right track now. Kept postponing the appointment (more honest, failed in asking for a day off and stick to it every time) but too much... |

| Another lovely dog I had was so vain he would check himself in the mirror. If ANY dog was getting a bath, blow dry and scissoring, he would line up and insist on being done too. If you didn't, he would know they looked nicer, get depressed and refuse to eat. I never clipped him! Heard a similar sto... |
