I come on here, read all the interesting posts, formulate responses, and then forget them! 
Anyway, hi to everyone. Sometimes I wish we could add memory and mental acuity to little slots inside our heads, the way we can upgrade computers. Wouldn't that be great?

Question for Chuck.....that I thought others might find interesting..
I saw a show on CNN about the increase in products contiaining Soybean oils,which I think???he said was an omega 3 oil?He had an "expert" on,that theorized that this was causing health problems for people because the increase in Omega 3 was putting everyones Omega oils out of balance.He explained this as the extra omega 3 was "plugging up" the omega 6 receptors and causing them to not be absorbed????Is any of this scientific and what do you think would be the result,if it is.He seemed to link it with some mood issues and cogntive function problems.(more true for those who consume a lot of processed foods a they all seem to comtain some soybean oil as do many fried fast foods.
How do you weigh in with this concern.I thought it might have more inpact on people with AS or even ADD,as the omegas are related to more healthful function for us.What would be the best "treatment" to rebalance.....he seemd to suggest you could just take more omega 6 or cut out some of the process foods(It does appear to be in most of them and I like processed foods
).

).I saw the same program, krex. It sounded pretty solid, I saw the graphic he did showing the red omega 3 fatty acids ( it was vivid salmon red) next to the complementary Soy oil amt that can block it
would someone tell me what 'improvement' of AS is? am I just missing something here?

So much to enjoy in those Mean Kitty videos, Quatermass. 
Our cat Stripes took a brief interest in the TV when there was a greyhound race on it one day. She must have found those little ratlike creatures intriguing as they went skittering across the screen. Before long, though, she decided there was nothing substantive in it for her, and she went back to chasing live birds around the garden. She often makes that strange chittering noise when a particularly interesting bit of prey appears in front of her. No doubt there is some adaptive advantage in it, but what, I don't know.

Krexie I don't think I'm dyslexic, but I can offer this:
I love the keyboard. My thoughts go straight from my brain onto the keyboard and into text at an extremely rapid rate. When I'm really on a roll - a lot of caffeine and in my groove - I can do 75-85wmp from a dictation tape, faster when it's coming from my head. I don't typically reverse letters in typing, unless I'm very tired or partially distracted by noise in the room or something like that. I do not watch the keyboard when I type. But I've had a LOT of practice typing - many, many years.
On the flip side, when I try to handwrite things it's an entirely different scenario. I have to labor over each word, and constantly switch letters around. Quite often I'll be writing one word and a letter from a word further down in the sentence I intend to write pops in there. Sometimes I can't get the letters to form correctly (check my handwriting in the thingy I scanned for Postie earlier in this thread - that's my best writing and it took me several tries). Sometimes the pen or pencil literally just flies out of my fingers in the middle of a letter and pops down on to the floor. It's extremely aggravating! I usually go through three or four post-it notes before I have one that's legible enough to put on a document to forward to another desk.
Thank gawds for email and word processors!
(I remember school with fountain pens and ruled notebooks, and no erasures allowed. It was absolute hell.)The dreaded typing class room. . where I sat helplessly at home row not being able to cope with the stress of typing as fast as I could for three whole minutes. The first mistake I made bugged me so badly I could n't for get it and pass on to the next world. . . I failed the class and had to take it again and failed again. I dreaded and despised that room. Much later, much later while working for Gateway 2000, Inc the computer company in South Dakota I was near enough to Wichita, Ks to go back for my thirtieth reunion I girded up my courage and walked into that high school room again. . and found it full of my beloved Gateways!
I was exalted.

My theory is that it works up the saliva glands.

I just saw that on the news! That is bloody scary!! And I was supposed to give one of the little people some of that today!
I forgot and I never gave my kids cold medicines because I didn't think they were necessary so I don't like to give it the little ones.
Hey!! We had warm weather today and now there's a low front coming in from Oregon and it's gonna' get cold again! Merle did it!
