I looked at your picture: there's nothing to pity!
You're a very attractive person on the outside. And I sense that you have much on the inside as well.
We all have things that we must resolve in life.
I wish I possessed some of the gifts which you possess. |

| Have you ever seen the series known as "Seven-up?" It documents the lives of about 20 people through the years. It started when the participants were 7 years old, in 1964. Every 7 years, the participants are interviewed again. The series continues; last year, there was a "56-up." Your journey remind... |

| I wish you luck in your pursuit. Data entry, much of the time, is really very simple; one only has to know how to type. It frequently involves typing, into a PC, things like dates, addresses, money amounts, codes peculiar to a company, and sometimes more conventional typing. He could type numbers fr... |

I frequently feel the same way.
What you write reminds me of an Allen Ginsberg poem, perhaps even one by Walt Whitman.
I'm going to read further. |

| I think it's quite possible that we both made war with and mated with Neanderthals. Evidence exists for both. Both are inevitable. I think the proportion of Neanderthal genes within European DNA is about 4 percent. It was stated that red-headed people were most closely related to Neanderthals. Do yo... |

| I've done 3 marathons---best time: 3:47:03. 1995 through 1997. I like the metronymic aspect of running--the rhythmic aspect. I'm not good enough, when I'm trying to obtain a decent time, to enjoy the scenery. I used to run on Route 106 near Oyster Bay, NY. I used to love to hear the frogs croak. I h... |

Parents often DON'T understand.
They're frequently stuck in their own value systems.
Trying to persuade them is like ramming your head against a wall.
Just talk about topical, superficial things with them; that frequently breaks the ice.
It's the NT procedure. |

| In general, I like the Beatles. Obviously their lyrics were pedestrian in the early days--but the Beat Music was innovative for its time. I would never have gone into the city just to hang out by their hotel. Later, their lyrics became more reflective and poetic. Even later, they got back into their... |

| There are many people on the Spectrum who could teach. Some of them do it well, some of them do it awfully. I've had many teachers whom I sensed were on the Spectrum.

Will you be working for a car service? Or will you just pick up fares in the street?
I think you'll be all right, especially if you're working for a car service, and you don't have to go into the inner city much. |
