Nan, is that the picture of an adult finch?

Hartz, I've had issues with insomnia. I've found soft music really helps, like the music done by Henry Mancini and Bing Crosby. If you want me to I could send you some youtube links so that you could try it out. And there are a couple of radio stations here in AZ that stream that kind of music over the internet 24 hours a day and I could send you links to them.

Just let me know.

Thanks, morning_after. My insomnia finally resolved. I guess it was mostly anxiety about my father's passing, and and all the thoughts of mortality that involves, and such.

If it has Nan's heart it's going to have the wing span of the picture I showed, about 9 foot or more.
Spike is going to be one finch to be reckoned with.

Humm, if her strength has made it in the little guys heart? Yeah, I can picture it.

Is that a Buzzard? Saw a few of those over Rehrersburg when I was at the Teen Challenge Training Center Farm...
We had few buzzards among the staff there as well...

Hiyas,

I've been off job searching, worrying, and my cousin most recently started a family tree project.

I have a very disconnected family on my dad's side, where of course I suspect Asperger's comes from.

Today I found out that another cousin may have it as well.

Between job searching and genealogy, I've been to pre-occupied to come visit you all.

Did someone mention Bingo?

Loved that keyboard too...wow. I wear my keys out as well, but I'd just wanna look at how pretty that one is

Hope everyone is doing ok!

a genealogy. a blessing and a curse, when one becomes fixated with it.

checkout rootsweb and ancestry.com online. dangerous places, they are.....

Yeah, I've been to both. I actually used a free trial to ancestry.com a while back and it has run out. I don't get too fixated. It's interesting to find a little info here and there, but my paternal grandfather is a mystery to the entire family and we hit dead ends anywhere we look. Another cousin has spent years searching. I doubt I'll find much more.

I've been knitting again and also gearing up for my daughter's high school experience. Just got the transportation assignment today. I'm not looking forward to getting up at 5:15am so she can be ready for her bus an hour later. Maybe a miracle will happen and she'll get herself up and ready for school!! !

Well I can dream

He said that I need to grow up. He claims that I tend to shirk all responsibility. The thing is that I never consciously shirk it, ever. He sited things like getting with my fiduciary (which in the past hasn't worked out well) paying off my bills (which unless there's one I don't know about I am paid up) and moving out (which I've been looking at prices just trying to find one I could afford close enough to where I work).
.

well, isn't that the whole thing in a nutshell, eh? I wish I could grow up too. It would solve most of my issues and problems living in the world. Matter of fact, I was skipping (skipping!) down the hall at my office at 56 years old and wondering why I 'never grew up.' I know little of finances . . only know if I get a job and bring in money I can throw it at those people that seem to think they have a stake of it. Growing up, or rather the lack of it, is my major issue in life. Perhaps that has something to do with AS?

I had a similar response once from my parents. I moved out at 17 after graduating from high school a year early. At one time not all that long after, I found myself living in a room @ $25 a week, just lost my job and was looking for another, and I hadn't eaten in two weeks due to this. I guess I called up the parents asking for a loan, when they told me I had to grow up and the party was over. I didn't understand the party had begun so I was certainly dismayed it was over. Obviously at the time, I guess the caterer had forgotten to show up. I did eventually get another job.

My family too was famous for passing the buck. If mom was stressed with dad, it was my fault ya see. That's just how it works in some families, and it's sad. This was one tiny example of the reason I left. The bigger ones are too depressing and freaky to mention here.

Growing up is everyone's major issue I think. I was pretty grown up by the age of 10, and at 12 I knew what I wanted to do. Lack of support, financial and otherwise, from anywhere lead me to live a life not chosen, but out of desperation. In some ways I'm older and some ways I'm so much younger. It's a blessing and a curse.

Growing up!! Do we really do that?

I think having a high IQ makes people think I've grown up. Intelectually that is. Emotionally I think I'm still a child. At least that's how I feel cos I regularly chicken out of emotional confrontations with the NTs that I've met in my life. That's why I stayed married for 23 years when all I wanted to do was get away from the 'other persons demands' and the responsibility. Eventually it all became too much and one day I just got in my car and drove away.

I'm back in a relationship again now though. She's much more understanding, but there have been problems. That's how I ended up being diagnosed.

Fibromyalgia? Just took a look at your site. And there is that word again. I can't help but wonder why I see it as much as I do around these here parts. Either in those of us with like minds or our others. What a horrid thing it is. At the very least it's finally gotten out of the "old woman's complaint" class and getting some attention paid to it. It sure wasn't like that even just some years ago. I feel so damn powerless when The Wife is into a flare.

Yeah the gots money thing. I try to ignore it. It has a very nasty habit of building up till even I can't ignore it and I've had years of practice.

I don't think I've ever asked, I may have, which part of the State are you from, just generally speaking? I'm extreme (love that word) north central, along the NY State line.

Howdy Timberwolf, welcome to the cafe, like a muffin? Just a traditional Cafe greeting, also known as bait :lol: Ok, so maybe it's my greeting, but I've seen others do it too, so I can blame them. Did you know there are Evul Muffins and the Good Muffins?

Grow up? Who said I had to? Better yet who told you that nasty lie?
