| Yes, I forget to eat, especially if I am getting caught up in one of my special interests. I will look up at the clock, realise I have missed lunchtime, and think "oh well, I'll just have an early dinner". Then I'll miss dinner time too, and end up going to bed without eating. When I moved in with ... |

| I don't like the new trend towards doctors' offices and clinics relying on voicemail either, but you may as well leave a message and wait, because they don't answer the phone anymore. On the other hand, I work in the medical field and they are relying on voicemail in order to compensate for a lack o... |

| I would guess you called a wrong number which just happened to have a fella named Joey whose wife offered him a literal beer. Either that or you called a parallel reality where your Brother had a child, lived at your Mothers, and you had never been born so only the babbling baby could hear you. I d... |

| I'm wanting everyone's opinion on this post, no matter how far-fetched. You're an adult with 2 kids. You're a rational, logical person who reads a lot and doesn't believe in religion. One day you call your mother, who lives just a few blocks away, to see if she can pick up a pack of cigarettes for y... |

| I guess I don't find it gross (unless I realize they had quite a bit of garlic or onion earlier, and I am very taste sensitive), but I find myself hurrying the act along to the second show, which has a bigger purpose. I also don't like having to do that annoying "Kiss me several times a day for the ... |

| And I have heard that good communication with patients can be taught (take a look at the works of the late dr. Rob Buckman for instance), so good for you! Communication with patients I've found is fairly easy. You are looking for basic signs of pain or dehydration at the top of your list daily, and... |

| I can see why a lot of non-NT's would not want to work in the medical field, but from personal experience I think some employers find some female Aspies better suited to the work (if their smell sensory issues do not hinder them). I have always worked in the medical field, and find that my natural t... |

| I'm wondering why people in Oklahoma don't invest in tornado-proof homes. You could live in a dome-shaped home with armored plates that come down over the windows to prevent debris penetration. We usually don't have the money to move (high poverty state), yet have family ties (especially if you are... |

Hence the news reports of people who did die in basements during tornadoes or hurricanes being drowned, not sucked out. |

| I guess I will be the one to bite. Amnesia is only a loss of memory of life events, it is not a biological rewiring of the brain and DNA, so I doubt the validity of this story. Homosexuality is simply a natural offshoot of sexual attraction that you are born with and is observed in many animals as w... |

| Is it possible for a tornado to build up enough pressure and sustain a long enough pathline to rip basements out of house as a new damage indicator? I don't think so. To rip the basement out of a house it would have to literally blow away the top 8 - 10 feet of soil around the house. That would be ... |
