I'm glad he's nice to you.

How was your breaky?

How's your head?

My head's a bit better today, thanks.
At least I can open both eyes without too much pain.
I may have been a bit quiet and spacey at breakfast.
I had eggs Benedict and a mocha.
It was delicious.

Sounds like a yummy breakfast.

I didn't know it was valentines day. Was that why you went out for breakfast?

He usually takes me out on a Sunday.
Whether it's a drive somewhere or a coffee or the markets or fish and chips by the beach for dinner.
It wasn't because of V Day.
We don't give a damn about all that nonsense.
We're rebels :P

Kathy and I were the same. I wouldn't say we were rebels though. Just practical.

I wonder if people with down syndrome form online communities like we do and feel like they belong like we do.
After all, we all look different but the only thing that links us is our "symptoms" and common life experiences.

They even have common physical features. I wonder if they also feel part of the same family.

People with down syndrome are usually very social.
Most have jobs and have a work community too.

Yeah, I know that but my question is, because they physically look similar, does that give them a sense of connection, like part of the same family? Just like I'm part of the Aspergers family because we have so many things in common. Only theirs is to a greater extent because it extends beyond just experiences. It's physical as well.

Do they also feel like part of the same family as people (I) do with Aspergers?

Thank you. I think, if I looked like a community of other people, it would give me a special connection to them - like part of the same family.

I only share symptoms with other Aspies and I feel like I belong. But to also look similar, I think that'd give you an extra special connection.

Know what I mean?

I feel plenty of kinship, it's just a matter of reflecting it to whomever I might encounter.

People with down syndrome are more likely to form friendships with other disabled people (but not necessarily people with down syndrome).

I just had a weird experience. I was looking for my camera. I haven't used it in ages and I don't even remember where I left it. It has a strap that a cat could put in his mouth to pick up and carry but my camera would be too heavy for Boo to lift.

I walked near the front door (it's relatively dark in the lounge room) and I saw a dark object on the floor. I nearly stood on it but bent down to check it out and it was my camera.

If it was Boo who put it there, how coincidental is it that, the one time I happen to be looking for it after all those month, he should happen to choose right now to find it, pick it up (which I'm sure he wouldn't be able to do anyway) and drop it on the floor near the front door? I'm going in and out of the front door all the time. So I know it was placed there after the last time I came in the house.

Just when I'm looking for it, it appears where I know it wasn't last time I came home. It's not like my front door is cluttered and I may have missed seeing the camera. It's a clear walk through.

I'm going to put it back where I found it, take a picture of where I found it on the floor with my phone and show you.

Wait for the picture. This is bizarre!

Here's the picture.

I went to the shops this morning and came home. It WASN'T there.
This evening, I wanted to use my camera, that I haven't used in months and had no idea where I left it. I was looking for it and found it here:

This Is EXACTLY Where I Found It! - So I know it wasn't there when I got back from the shops this morning.
Image

Even if Boo could lift it, the timing is incredible.

Why after all these months I never wanted it, I go looking for it and Boo chooses the couple of hours since I got back from the shops, to drop it near the front door. Even if he could lift it.

I live alone. It's just me and Boo. There's no one here to play pranks on me.

I think pranks are beyond Boo's capabilities but even he didn't know I was looking for it.

Honestly, I know my writing style can be a little hard to understand at times, but please, PLEASE take the time to read what I have written.

T H I S I S W E I R D!

It's only a small camera.
It's not impossible that Boo could have dragged it there.

Could the camera have been on top of the computer tower and Boo knocked it down?

But the timing? Even if it was Boo, I haven't used it in months and the one time I want it in all those months, he chooses now, the space of about 6-7 hours out of all those month to drag it out? Right when I want it?

No, I never put anything on that. The computer's only there so when I come home, if Boo's behind the door when I open it, it scoots him back so he can't get out.
