Last night I watched:
The Mummy's Ghost [1944] <=>"Nameless! Fleshless! Deathless!"
A harmless waste of an hour. (I'm sort of glad it wasn't longer, though.) |

I "adopted" a turtle that has been frequenting the park behind our house.
I think I've been feeding it too much. It's tummy is getting flabby. |

Last night we watched two movies: Alien [1979] <=> "In space no one can hear you scream." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ5lPt9edzQ One of the top science fiction movies of all time . I do not recommend the Director's Cut...apparently neither does the director . Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombi... |

My impression is that some of the people who just wander through WP benefit somewhat from the information they get here...even if they don't become regulars. |

I generally don't seek conversations from strangers...but I often try for a chuckle.
I find humor to be a good lubricant and have been cultivating a dry sense of humor.
If I can get someone to chuckle they generally seem to be more tolerant and polite to me. |

I can't recall ever being bullied because of my special interests.
My recollection is the bullies just liked picking on me...without regard to what interested me.
(Except, I suspect my interest in being left alone by bullies was an interest they took some joy in violating.) |

My whole life I have been good at getting respiratory infections.
I had pneumonia >6 times before I was 10.
I've been jealous of other cultures where TV showed masks to be routine. After COVID-19 I routinely wear a mask. |

Instead of being Autistic, the obvious alternative is NeuroTypical.
From the NTs that have been around me, I think my flavor of Autism is better.
(And I don't deny that Autism comes in many flavors...many nasty. I got lucky.) |
