I'm into growing carnivorous plants: Venus Fly Traps, Sundews, and Pitcher plants. I have numerous houseplants including bonsais. I grow a vegetable garden every year.

You ask a riddle and the answer rhymes. Ex: What is a feline who eats too much. Ans. A fat cat.
What is a just-completed chimney or a recently discovered virus? Ans. A new flu.
That's all I know.
I'm sure that all you out there know more and can ad them. |

Happens to me often. I recently moved and some things are still missing. While moving I discovered a few odds and ends that had been lost. |

I think I may have found myself a potential literary agent! A meeting will be this Friday at 11:30 at the agency's office so here's hoping I don't panic. Good luck and huzzahs! Thanks Sir Kraichgauer! The meeting today went well and I should get a call within the next 1-2 weeks. Best of luck! If th... |

A cure for the highly disabled who have severe sensory issues would be good. People might find it hard though to distinguish between low functioning and high functioning. Some deaf people get neural implants some don't. Does that mean we should stop having close-captioned TV? I live a normal life an... |

I know at 58 I am better adapted than I was. I have a pretty active social life being in groups of people with a common interest and I understand relating to women better. I sometimes wonder if I am still autistic. I am a very late bloomer, but then I can still find myself isolated in a big room whe... |

Most diseases don't have one single treatment or pill to cure. Treatments for depression vary by the person, Some things work for some people and some things don't.

A cure is fine for those who want a cure. But a cure applied before a baby is born should be decided by the parents. Problem is in that case there is no way to determine whether the unborn herself would want a cure. |

Throughout my life, I had trouble making friends, had bad luck in the romance department and have always been underemployed. My Aspergers is a disability that greatly affected my life.

I want to make sure that I am not just someone bragging about it. I am looking for people to be my posse. If January 1st, 2025 comes around and I have not embarked on my streaking adventures then the posse starts to pester me and contrive ways to force me to carry out my promise. If you want to be o... |

I went to a disability conference where they showed films of people who had been placed in jobs. Every job was a restaurant or a janitorial job.
