Hi!

I've been around for a week now and I really like it here. A second home.

I'm danish, I'm 46, I live alone - two cats. Not working, have a pension.

A few years ago I bought my own little house in a quiet neighbourhood, best thing I ever did.

I have diagnosed myself, and am in the process of accepting my differencies.

Besides aspergers I have a spinal deformity which prevents me from doing too much physical activity.

I do a lot of tai chi, read, work in my little garden, walk in the summer. In the winter I play a lot, a lot!, of videogames, I'm on the internet and watch tv (I love sports - NFL).

Right now I'm into Le Tour de France, this site and the garden, a little.

I am lucky to have two good friends, a woman my age with Borderline, whom I have known for 25 years, It's been a tough ride, borderlines are not easy people. Then there is her son, he's 19, and we share a passion for gaming; when he was a baby we could just sit and laugh together, and his mom went: Oh, you two! I think he has ADSD and maybe AS too. But I don't know.

My family is very small and don't live near me.

I've never played RPG, bur I'd like to when I find the right one. I'm getting a 360 soon to play Saints Row, and think I'll buy Oblivion. Also heard a lot of good abour Final Fantasy I've checked it and it looks good.

nothing unusual right now, two european cats, one black female age 6, one grey/striped male age 1. They are both from a shelter. They are both very social and have a great time together.

I had two abbysinians, silver-red male, brown female, who died last summer, two months apart, tough! They were 9 years.

Before that I had a siamese female and a havanese male.

What kind of cats do you have? If any.

I've seen you too, you're the one who's not Ralph, but Raph. A dogs name was it?

yes a dogs name. Raphael but we call him raph or raphy for short names. I have another dog named true. his real name is trooper i wanted to call him robert..

but i have a cat, too. he is a bicolor cat and is very nice to me(but no one else :) ). he was a stray cat.. his brothers and sisters and him were abandoned in the soccor feild... stray cats camn carry many dangerous diseases though so i would not recommend handleing them or bringing them home without checking with a vet...... he is a very strange cat. he secretely attacks the dogs, they are too afraid to fight back even though they are 5X his size.. he scares my dogs a lot and is only nice to me

He,he - special cat you have there.

The abbysinians I had were not afraid of dogs either, or anything else for that matter.

Thanks. Many people from Holland.
Have you ever been to Denmark? I went to Amsterdam once. I like Holland, The Netherlands, you can ride on bycycle in the summer and skate on rivers in winter.
Did you know that written dutch and danish is very similar?

Hi Corcovado, I LOVE cats! but unfortunately I am allergic to them :(, so I have only had a few opportunities to be with one. Actually I think that my allergy is a little better now that I had some contact with a cat a friend had, so maybe in the future hopefully I'll get a cat for myself :)


About videogames: Have you played Secret Of Mana? I haven't played many RPGs, but I have lot of fond memories about that game. It came out for the supernintendo (yeah, that's old), but I liked it a lot.

have you played Katamari Damacy or REZ? (those are for the PS2)

Hi!

I feel sorry for your allergies, I could not live without my cats. I think they are my biggest obsession, lifelong too.

No I haven't played the games you mentioned, I will check them out, as I have a PS2. I'm going to get a PS3 next year.

Thanks!

my cat, i think he does it to make himself feel better. he is sort of the bully of the house. he picks on the dogs, the dogs start whining. he hisses at them and makes them afraid to move.. it is very strange to see. did your cats do somthing like this?

My male cat, Silas, picked on everybody to let them know he was the boss. Dogs, cats, you name it. He did not mean any evil, he was just king of the hill. He loved to pick a fight. One time the female cat took one of his toys and took such a beating she never pick it up again.

Outside he'd attack dogs walkin with their owner, I said: watch out for the cat, owner said: the dog is peacefull, and then watch in astonishment as cat attacked dog.

It's funny, dogs can really be afraid of cats if the cat doesn't run away.

Which one did you get first, cat or the dogs?

raph was first.. then cat-we call him cat or kitty... very original- then trooper. its funny for me because of how large my dogs are - one is about 50 lbs(23 Kg) one is over 100 lbs(Over 46 Kg)- and they are running from a little average sized cat (he won't let me weigh him :roll: ).
