It's HOW she bothers them that has me worried. She might be old, but she can be frisky. 8O

I love what SleepyDragon says:

Quote:
The Café is one of the few places where I can be myself without being called out for it.

As a recent arrival, it is striking how to notice the absence of pre-cringing I experience when on WP. I've been asking folks for years about what I thought were at least not terribly uncommon quirks. The frequency of such queries was always decreasing until self-diagnosis and finding some folks to help. Now I can babble on without cringing and sometimes even learn a thing or to. Sho-nuff jess-fine!! !

As a recently ex-neuroimaging researcher, I relate very well to the brain cake. Some of my colleagues had jello molds for making extremely realistic looking fake brains!

Kind of lends a whole new meaning to "brain food"...

It works best if you use a mixture of the peach and strawberry jello, more peach than strawberry. ; )

I think this study is spot on! When I don't hold my hands in check, nobody thinks I'm lying. They just think I'm crazy or brain-damaged and back away! The power of truth!

My favourite way of catching someone in the act of lying is to watch their feet. No matter how good they are they will shuffle, twitch, move their feet. I used this as a teacher and have challanged adults since.

Only the very best will not twitch somewhere.

Hi Skeeterhawk! Let it all hang out.

What about those of us who twitch, shuffle and wring our hands just from the stress of talking to anyone we don't know well? Or an authority figure? That's the worst. If I ever meet you you're sure to think I'm hiding all sorts of things. :lol:
