| Ticker-tapers, I have to know- did this help at all in spelling contests? Totally. It isn't cheating if you have it within you, but it has kinda felt that way more than once. Like arm wrestling a baby. I also, evidently, categorize and file everything in a somewhat efficient manner so that facts co... |

| I don't think its something to be cured, just a difference. Yes its hard but so is everything. We just have to work it out, like everything. You wouldn't ask a black person if they want to be cured of dark skin, would you? Some black people want to be white. And we all want to be the pretty, popula... |

| I see words and sheet music - and the symbols morph to where the words expand or change their meanings, almost like a game or enhancement - sometimes so distracting. The music does something a little different that's really hard to explain but it's not like anything magical. I stay within the bounda... |

| Ugh! Reading this was agony. I want to scream that you've over analyzed this, but what's a bullied kid to do but try to figure out how to stop the unpleasantries. However, it's much simpler than you all realize. You were a target. Other kids were meanies, looking for targets. This means anyone who i... |

| I'm pro life. I don't think outrageous, silly things, however I do believe in the sanctity of life. While a creature without a developed brain might not have consciousness, I believe the unborn child has a soul upon conception, as well as the right to continue living. Killing, no, murdering, with ma... |

| A bad place to be. I'd advise you NOT to jump into the sack with the first penis that comes along. Unfortunately, they sometimes come with a pig attached. Get something electronic, find some distractions and wait it out. It will pass, one way or the other and then you can make rational decisions so ... |

| I say I'm sorry, Thank you and No worries way too much. It bothers me when others do this so I try to catch myself. I have to think in terms of limiting my utterance of these phrases to twice per encounter. Keeping track is one of my specialties - I'm very anal. Self regulation is my responsibility.... |

| In humans, wouldn't you consider, makeup, high heels, push up bras and low cut jeans an initiation? Sheesh! All the crap and discomfort women put themselves through just to entice a male is astounding. Personally, I think it cheapens us, but it's hard to argue with results. Take a look at all the o... |
