| I do not use Facebook specifically because it is primarily a sandbox for the egocentric AND because it is prime "stomping grounds" for Stalkers, Predators and people you generally do not want to know who you are, what you're doing and where you are at any moment in time. Thus, I am in TOTAL agreemen... |

| Big THX to theWanderer. I also like to write real physical letters. It has been awhile since I've worked with an actual fountain pen, as opposed to more ballpoint pens than I can possibly imagine having pushed beyond their limits. I'd never heard of he Fountain Pen Network before. This is excellent ... |

| I am feeling sadness that you became a temporary "band aid" for this girl who had not known what she wanted (and probably won't know herself and her emotions with any certainty for awhile). You were enchanted, I suppose and tricked by this girl into becoming involved. You liked what she let you beli... |

| Gracey, You need to speak with this Doctor, immediately. Something sounds dangerously wrong, here. Was this Doctor aware of the fact that you've had "up" cycles as well as "down" cycles and problems with sleep patterns? You don't mention the name of the antidepressant...some work fairly quickly, oth... |

| I also forgot: Movie goggles! These have been around for awhile so need not be the latest and most expensive technology -- and you can view and listen to gentle footage of waterfalls or forests. Just take yourself on a journey to a place that is pleasant and peaceful. You might be able to rent a pai... |

| I would inform and make sure that everyone who needs to know is "in the loop" and understands. I spent 9 days in hospital just over 3 years ago with an infected laceration on my leg. I am very touchy about needles -- especially involving blood. I literally require a form of sedation or there's no wa... |

It is one thing for people to cry occasionally when something is intense and overwhelming to them and quite another when they cry almost constantly. I refe... |

| It is my assumption you are not applying for a job as a Social Worker with deeply disturbed and needy kids who are from dysfunctional families, as this would be an atypical gig for an Aspie (I'm not saying it doesn't occur from time to time, but I will say this is not something I'd ever considering ... |

| I am one who will agree with your observation. I do care too much about too much in a world where many people do not care. One of the things I keep attempting to do is to create caring in people who are unloving or people who pretend to be loving but are putting on an act for reasons that are only l... |
