| ReplacedAxe; There are other threads here that do talk about how those on the spectrum have handled being in the military, good and bad issues. I do think there currently is a policy against allowing those with Aspergers to join the military, but since you don't have an official diagnosis you don't ... |

yes I copied the picture from FB, not trying to say it was mine, just thought it fit here. As CC mentioned, I'm just happy I was able to cut, paste and post a real picture.  |

Maybe like sometimes people getting lost or injured for their own stupidness are having to pay for the se... |

So you were hoping it would be a turn off for them? Maybe that came across in your voice?
Or you also put it out there for even the ones that were favorable?
Just curious, helping the married man was a work or school situation? I don't see what your mother says. |

| Well then you can really have fun here on WP, go over to PPR and jump in. There are several here who make well researched points on various topics. And sometimes, there are those who take it to an emotional level and just tell you the truth but not in love. |

Looks like I missed this one when the OP started it. I do believe in heaven and think I will go there when I die.
For those who have thought about this eventuality, have you had any kind of talk with your family or friends about how then you want your funeral to be? |

Well KK, AB I have a few years on you, so since we are old compared to many here, is it time to start putting together and working on the Bucket List?
I do some volunteer work for a hospice and visit with a man who is 93. That makes me feel younger. |

Queensamaria;
This sounds a lot like what you posted on 25 June- "Hi, everyone. I have decided that I'm finished trying to find a boyfriend. After being rejected or shot down long ago, I am going to focus on God, family, friends, and school." |

| I'm not sure I understand your line of thought. Just because you could be at the place where "things are happening," how would that defeat loneliness? One could be in the middle of a large crowd of people and still feel alone. My thought on defeating loneliness is to either make connection... |

Well infilove, that would seem to say you had a really good vacation. I'm sure Michigan this time of year is a good bit cooler, or at least not stifling hot, as it probably is in South Carolina.
So were you visiting relatives or did find something touristy to do in Michigan? |
