LOL :D

Turn right meow

Oh, Aurora. You're a nice person.

Life's pretty peachy now though.

I've finally reached a stage where I'm relatively happy. I'm meditating again. Mindfulness etc. Blah ba blah ba blah. All that stuff.

This is the happiest I've been in a long time but it doesn't make the past any less sad. It's just when I think about it, it still makes me sad. That's to be expected.

It's just that I feel I've dealt with it and moved on.

Thank you for those lovely pictures and what they represent - that being, your kind intentions to cheer me up.

You did :)

Why is it so hard for parents to let go and let their kids do their own thing?

You're welcome :D
I'm glad they helped! My arsenal of cute animal photos really comes in handy :cat: (especially since I'm not good at cheering people up with words).
I am also glad that you're in a much better place (emotionally) now, than you were before!

Is anyone else getting the "choose the images" captcha? I think it's worse than the old one!

Yeah, I've been getting them for days.

I never want to see another river, steak or house again in my life! :D

I can't understand why they would do away with the old one, only to replace it with this crap. Some of the images I can hardly tell what's in them. And then some of the questions make me wonder how liberal they are being with what is considered the object being referenced. Like there was one asking me to identify the pictures of cars...but one picture had an SUV in it (which, in broad terms if often lumped under the same term ("car")). And then I thought, well since it's plural, does it count if there's only one car?

And even if you get it right, it doesn't post your message. It just throws you back into edit mode and sometimes, all the stuff you typed is GONE. That's where Winblows clipboard comes in handy.

Did you have your strawberry cheesecake I gave you?

Funny.

This thread is supposed to be a Random thread - used for stuff like:

"bugger, penguin, 'Meep Meep'" - see!! !

But we've kind of turned it into a meeting ground for Aspies. I'm glad about that.

This thread is my social life :D

Haha, yeah I remember that sometimes. But people have to respond to each other sometimes, or it would seem a bit pointless.

That's true. I never though about it that way.

All I can say is I'm glad it exists, otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet some of the most wonderful, caring people I've ever met in my life - :) You included, Aurora :)

Oooh back to my word gaff last night (which I didn't see until this morning):
I remember in middle school a British girl transferred to us and I shared a few classes with her. So one day in class she was writing in pencil and needed to erase an error, but her eraser wasn't working. So she turned to the boy next to her and asked if he had a rubber. :o
She wasn't quiet, so everyone heard and either gasped or started laughing wildly. She was so confused!
(for those that don't know: in the UK a rubber is an eraser, but in the US it's a condom).

In Australia, we call an eraser a rubber but we are aware if the overseas implication.

Do you know, what you Americans call a fanny (bum), has a completely different (literally opposite) meaning here in Australia. Every time I hear of an American talking about their fanny pack, I cringe!
