 Forum: Health, Fitness, and Sports   Topic: Any Primal/Paleo Eaters here?

Interesting thread. I had not heard of the "paleo" diet by that name, but for years I've tried to follow what I call my "East African savannah" diet. Pretty much the same thing as the paleo, from the sound of it. I do know this ... the less processed it is, the better my body handles it. As someone ...

For years I couldn't understand why my wife seemed to have devolved into a mean, angry person. It never occured to me that I might not actually be the kind loving man to her that I thought I was. But after some serious reflection I began to realize I had actually done very little for her, and doing...

Your point about the frustrations of dealing with bureaucratic gate-keepers is well-taken. I doubt it's any consolation, but I don't think anyone , Aspie or otherwise, deals with this well. I'm fortunate in that at my age and station in life, I'm able to minimize my contact with the bureaucracies of...

You don't give your age, but I'll assume you're an adult, and as such, no one can force you to have contact with anyone, family or otherwise. But I'll just point out some obvious things, if I may. If your relationship with your parents is as bad as you say, then someone here has to change if it's ev...

I'm not sure how to handle this. My husband and I think I may have Aspergers. He says that I am cold and unwilling to share my feelings - I keep telling him that it's not that I don't want to - it's that I don't know how. I become "mute" when pressed too hard or feel anxious. I've been this way for...

I'm self-diagnosed, also. I have to say that, although the knowledge that I was Aspie was interesting and certainly explained a lot of bizarre things about my life, I can't really say that it's helped much. Much more important to me has simply been the maturation process, and thinking long and hard ...

Oh yes, I've experienced this, but much less as I've gotten older. The most difficult thing for me was accepting that, even though it wasn't intentional, I was most certainly causing it myself. It was either that or concoct a gigantic worldwide conspiracy against me. As appealing as that theory may ...

I'll be 63 in a few months. Not to sound condescending, but I can attest that at 48 you're still a youngster. That doesn't mean you can thumb your nose at the aging process, however. You do need to take more interest in your health and in your long-term finances, just to name two things, than you ev...

Good thing they have such strict gun control laws to stop this from happening. :roll: Your point seems to be that because some people broke the law, the law itself is no good. That's a rather bizarre leap of logic. I suspect there were 7-11's that got knocked over during the same time. I suspect th...

Those who are genuinely secure will not feel the requirement to impose it on others.


Those are very wise words.

Pincher Martin by William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies . It's the story of a British Navy sailor who is the only survivor after his ship is sunk in the North Atlantic. He washes up on a tiny island, barely larger than a house, and spends several weeks there alone. There is a fairly mind-blo...

Interesting that you mention this. I hadn't heard of it being a typical AS characteristic (but maybe I've just missed it), but it describes me as well. I don't follow spoken directions very well at all, including street directions. But then there are people who can't read maps, so I guess we all hav...

If one could have looked into the future and see the damage oil and coal would cause, I'll bet most people would have chosen nuclear. I would rather have a storage mountain that was off limits than an entire planet affected by burning fossil fuels. Interesting take on it, although I would hope that...

as far as the journalism in question, it is essentially fear mongering. Nahh. I don't think they're intentionally trying to scare anyone. It's the Watergate Effect ... they all want to be the next Woodward and Bernstein, so they juice it up to make it as spectacular as they can. Besides that, they ...
