| I don't tie my laces like most people do. I learned my own way. It works for me. Only got comments on it when I was a kid when tying shoe laces was the big thing to learn. :lol: Actually f**k that, I'm going to try and see if I can learn the "normal" way tonight. I'm sick of this abnormal shoe tyin... |

I don't have an official medical diagnosis but I know people who work in the field and they pointed it out to me and I self diagnosed from there.

| LibriVox also has free public domain audio books. Since everything is user-submitted, you don't always get totally professional sounding recordings, but the good tends to drive out the bad. . Thank you for posting. I corrected the spelling on my post! :) I think it is great that people volunteer to... |

Marlo Diane, on the other hand, (from LibriVox), not so much! But listening to audiobooks in bed at night is one of my favorite things to do. I won... |
