| Feed them. They'll get bored at that place and simply move on. Squirting water will most likely make them curious. Had that problem few years ago with two magpies and they were fighting all the time! There's actually one sound most birds hate. Yell into an empty can. Try to make it sound similar to ... |

| I think religion and the corresponding holidays are sentimental relics coming from a bygone era. Today Xmas is merely commerce. I don't attend church services, no matter what. People can get married without me, I find divorces much more interesting. And dead people don't realize who's attending thei... |

| I don't celebrate Xmas because I'm not christian, thus consider it pointless and I'm way too lazy to decorate my home, but I bought yummy extra food for my cats. As every year I've exchanged a gift package with my sister and don't understand why she gave me so many pocket calendars again. She's fall... |

Towards strangers, I use flash cards like this one
For others I write a brief text on an index card or type it in my cell phone. |

| Are there any scans of your brain before and after the surgery? This would probably be more revealing than symptoms or changes in your personality and development alone. I remember the case of an about 40-50 yrs. old man who was extremely violent, a brutal, ruthless thug until he suffered a stroke a... |

| Guess that's a bit off, sorry, but my ideal would be something absolutely neutral without genitals but also without breasts or other secondary sex characteristics, though I am male and don't feel female. It's more the presence of the sexes and of genitals itself that's confusing me. If anything at a... |

| I'm introverted and nobody ever really knows what's going on inside of me because I don't share it. Everything I share with a person becomes less, therefore I avoid communicating personal things. Talking about feelings sort of dilutes them. I rather keep my stuff to myself and don't feel even the sl... |

| I would get grumpy for awhile, then sad, finally depressed if I were unable to pursue at least one of my special interests. Throughout my life there's always been more than only one at a time so I can switch. However, when I'm forced to switch it also makes me feel frustrated and grumpy. |

| That's extremely relatively because take one of those bullies and confront him with a complex technical problem that must be solved under time pressure ... and he'll most likely fail, so he's weak in this respect. It just depends. Basically, everybody has strong and weak sides. I'm not interested in... |

| How about decreasing the dosage little by little until you reach a state where it evens out? Depression is sh***y but won't get you into trouble like anger outbursts possibly will. |

| Same here. Only thing I feel about is the shooter having AS and it being blamed on it. I just think all those sort of people who are violent need to be locked away where everyone is safe from them. Every time I hear about a child being violent and they act all sociopath, I think 'lock that kid away... |
