The posts are the tenth and eleventh posts on page 668, whatever they happen to be... now... although they could change. And no, don't bother to edit them... I have an almost unblemished record of missing all major milestones in this thread.
Ha! Lau uncovered the secret. Yes, it may now be revealed... Lauri and I are an entity best described as "interchangeable antimatter, depending on what day it is". Some days we are the same person, sometimes twins - sometimes we exist in separate countries (yet, apparently, always on the same continent) as, ..er, separates.And where was I when we tripped the post odometer? Enjoying the afterglow of P4K.....

Actually I was at work getting ready for lunch....... As Chuck's post went up at 11:42AM (my time) and the BlessedMom's
went up nine minutes later.

But mine is the better looking side. 
(her side also has all the prefrontal cortex. I got some of what was left over, plus the Abby Normal stuff.)
Yeah, I didn't get any of the AbbyNormal stuff! Really. Yep.

Hi, guys! Over did it today. Was planning to go to my group tonight, but exhausted myself. Found a website that explains it perfectly:

Needless to say, my Aspie traits become worse as I grow tired. I was ready to strangle this woman and her kid in the store; her, for talking loudly enough to be heard at the back of the establishment, and her son for setting off all the cheesy Christmas displays with sounds. One was a high pitched beeping that actually hurt to listen to. And it seemed as if everyone in the store was hell bent on making eye contact. I could see them from my peripheral vision as I struggled to locate what I needed. They would walk slowly by, head tilted, all ready to smile and greet. If I stopped and acknowledged everyone, I wouldn't ever get out of the store! 
This is the friendly South. It's hard work, all this social stuff! 
So glad to be indoors, where I can relax!

'Tis the season. Glad to see you can smile about it, hon! I'm just getting ready to go brave the shopping crowd myself. It's alot less busy in the evenings.

Unless Chuck's side of the brain is invading mine and I'm going a little nutty, I read this before you edited it and I vacuum in increments of 10 to 15 minutes because I can't take the noise of the vacuum. It makes my ears pop and hum, so I'd stop, check WP and then go do some more. I would rip up all of the carpets if I could, just to avoid the whole noise factor.

Hey Hartz! I'm glad that you stop by to give us your spoons! And are now safely comfortably home. To save you a spoon, let me tell you how beautiful the night sky is tonight:
The three-quarter moon is low in the sky to the east, shining so brightly you glide through the woods with the ease of an owl. The trees are casting long shadows, and the air is so crisp, cool, and clear you can see even the smallest of stars clearly. Hundreds. Thousands. In every direction. There is no sound at all. Nothing. From a distance, the faint smell of firewood mingles with the near scent of cedar groves. It's hard to make yourself go inside, standing still, barely breathing, because you never want to forget this image - etched into memory forever.
One day you and I will be out there together, forever. But for now, for this moment, you were out there with me.

Thanks Chuck! That was beautiful. And calming.

Hartz, I just sent my friend "The Spoon Theory" and called to see what she thought. She also has Crohn's colitis but hers is active and she just had a blood transfusion 2 weeks ago. She had friends that didn't believe her because "You don't look sick." 
I am the only who got it. Maybe she can use this to explain it to other friends.
We had a good cry and she asked me to thank you, so Thank you, Hartz!

My mother tells me that when I was about a year old, I danced while watching Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show.
