| I spent twenty years working in the printing industry, originally the typesetters used Densi or Cora but eventually everything switched to Postscript and WYSIWYG screens. LaTeX makes me feel right at home. |

Actors, Robert De Niro and Robin Williams, I've never seen a bad movie with either of those two in it.
Actresses, Sigourney Weaver for her acting ability and Marg Helgenberger for her looks.
Director - Michael Mann, I have every movie he's ever directed. |

| This is something that has puzzled me for some time. Like you I have a very strong sense of morality and I can't understand these tales of people who commit crimes and then use their AS as an excuse. |

So, if you're feeling depressed then one way to keep it under contr... |

| Stuff like this happens. I've had a girlfriend who decided to drive me crazy "because it seemed like fun" and a wife who decided that bullying me and insulting me was the best way to turn me from an aspie into an NT. I still haven't lost my faith in the fairer sex though because there are good times... |

An old joke, what's the difference between a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a psychotic?
Psychologists build castles in the air, psychotics live in them and psychiatrists collect the rent
This is what happens when you have a psychiatrist with a sense of humor. |

| Add me to the list of people who finds handshaking weird, especially weird when you meet this person on a regular basis. I can understand a handshake when meeting someone for the first time but in Eastern Europe you might find yourself shaking someone's hand once a day, every day as they come in thr... |

Apollo 12 started off OK but once the American public discovered that it would be more of the same they switched off in their thousands. So, NASA decided to do something on Apol... |

Wrong car, yes, wrong office, once, but never the wrong apartment.
