| Noca, by any chance do you live in an area where your water comes from your own well? When my son was young he had horrible IBS. We tried everything we could think of and then someone suggested the water. We switched him to bottled water and his problems stopped. Some mineral in the well water seem... |

| I smoked for around thirty years. My husband and I both quit nine years ago. I used a nicotine inhaler to help quit, so there might be something to the idea as nicotine as an assist for ASD.

| For most of my life I was very, very picky. I hated "big" things like kidney beans. The only spices were salt and pepper. I will try new things sometimes now but only a bite or so, not a whole meal. |

| I wear a hard to find shoe size, so of course (sarcasm) they are usually expensive. I think it helps if you keep your shoes clean and polished. Clean scuffs and mud off (and in the winter salt stains) makes a good impression. |

| Canada is officially bilingual - French and English. In the Province of Quebec, French is very protected. I wish our use of British style English spelling was protected.

| It might be comforting, not because it is "bad", but because it is familiar. I know my smell and my husband's smell. I live in the country, surrounded by farms and when I smell the bad smell of manure from the dairy farm I know I am near home and it is comforting. |
