The Dino-Aspie Cafe (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)

What is up with this page? Anyway Krex, I'm glad insurance worked out. Good for you standing up to them! Way to go!


Well, here is the deal. The kid on the boat that attempted to flirt with me until dh put the kabosh on it took lots of pics of me, but dh got mad so no pics from that trip. Maybe some we took of dolphins and turtles. I don't know. The kid got many frowns.

Today we went off to the East side and finally the Kualoa Ranch. Went to see where they film all movies and the mountains. But, kind of the same thing, the kid was too friendly according to dh so he wouldn't let him take any pictures of me. He's being very weird about that and posting pics of me. He doesn't like it and says I'm stalker bait and I tell too much. I'm on internet probation until further notice. Back in the gilded cage for me!


BUT, because I had a major pout, we went to the coral store and he got me a ring, a bracelet, a pendant and earrings in red coral. I never knew it was so expensive now! The stuff he gave me in Italy I stupidly gave away years ago. I bet he could have killed me when he saw the prices. Oh well. It's pretty! They even had a ring in my size although they all talked about it. LOL Then I was buying a necklace for our admin at work with black coral, pink coral and jade and the saleslady said that looks good on young women. I started laughing. She goes, no look and she put it on me. See, it looks good on young women. I said, I'm 47 and she was freaking and talking Japanese to everyone. Then they wanted to touch me. Ugh. They all seem to want to touch me, it's weird. Okay! So I have mutant fingers and I look strange. It's so weird.

Anyway, today I got homesick. I'm starting to want to go home and hide in my office. Pet my dogs and cats. I even miss the admin and coffee dude, even if he is annoying. I had to make my own coffee this morning. Lei left me instructions. 2 scoops. Then she leaves those measuring spoons by it. Which one is a scoop? I did two teaspoons. Then I started it and waited. Nothing. No water in it. Then I put the water in. Weak coffee. She thought I could handle a one cup coffee maker. Hmmmm Obviously not. Dh told me to get him up in the future, but it was 6 A.M. Why can't they just say which spoon? I made them tell me. I don't understand why people don't say what they mean.

Signing off from the new gilded cage in Hawaii.

Beginning a few posts above this, the page is wacked: the dividing line normally to right of avatar is suddenly way over near right edge of page, so text crushed at right edge.
Anyone else?
Ok, how do i delete this post - sometimes i see a checkbox for it, but not now...? ?

The page change is because merle is on. I'm telling she doesn't effect the Force, she Is the force!!

Merle
Channel smammel. You're only letting us think you do. The evidence is very clear.

Ugh.

Crawling out from under the books. I think I'm breathing normally. I'm gone for a couple of days, and there's hundreds of posts just on the dino threads to go through. I guess we did need a forum all to ourselves.

Oh, yea, Burroughs and "Naked Lunch." Weird book, and so was the movie made from it. He was the weirdest dude to wear a suit ever. He made Kerouac look like a boy scout.

And Merle is the force? Oh, my. I could use some of that. I hope the move is over and you're settling in at the new place.

And Zanne's scandalizing Hawaii. You go, girl. And what is it about being in Hawaii and getting fancy jewelry? I got a coral necklace, and Cooper Peddy Boulder opal suite there. And ain't the North Shore grand? I loved North Shore! Did you eat at the Giovanni's Shrimp?

Aylissa, if everyone keeps talking about Hawaii, I'm about ready to suggest we start an Hawaiian Aspie commune where we live off grid in separate yurts, and buy groceries in bulk, and go associating with turtles down by South Point. We could call it an artists' commune, and maybe start our own currency.

SeriousGirl, I hope stuff is going better, and the housecleaning is helping. I always find it to be something of a Zen experience, if that isn't too bs.

Hey, Postie. Have you seen the show "Bones?" It has some interesting stuff, if they would just quit with the soap opera stuff.

Hi, everyone else, Lemon, Chuck, and everyone else--I see your avis, but I am so awful with names.

What kind of stims do people have? I just realized I have way more than I realized. I woke up last night rubbing my feet together. I am doing it a lot more since I started classes. I also find I am moving my feet when I'm in therapy. I didn't realize what my therapist was looking at when he kept looking down. I wasn't even aware I was doing it until I followed his gaze. I also rub my fingernails, and I'm starting to become aware of how eccentric it looks to others. I had some really obnoxious stims when I was a teen, and they morphed into what I do now, though the foot thing has always been a constant.

Being around other people so much is making me much more self-conscious, and self-aware.

Just feeling vulnerable, and my center of gravity is off.

Metta, all.

i hope it's ok to come and not say hello to everyone too ?
(cause i'm really bad at it, it gives me nightmares, thinking that i might have forgotten someone, if later someone says something without calling his/her name, i'm prone to think they talk about me etc...)

although i do like it , it's nice when someone says hello and mentions my name,
hope you'll forgive me (please)

i got it here at the university too, the students give a kiss to say hello, but there are several reasons why this might not happen sometimes, when there is not enough time, it's difficult to get to this person because you are blocked by chairs,
you do not kiss someone hello if you don't know him/her but sometimes you do because s/he seams to be part of the group of which you kiss the majority hello (but what is the limiting amount?)
and i'm always confused, try to remember if i have made a mistake because it's necessary to adjust that later cause otherwise someone may think i'm negative towards this person, etc, it's so difficult...

yeah, it's time to go home, i'm picking up classes (i never followed any classes, but it's the last week and a lot of information is given about the exams and so, so i'm now attending a full week, i'm exhausted, all these people, things that should and shouldn't be done, ...)

Hi lemon, thanks for the tip, it didn't occur to me that there might be a time frame for editing and deleting. I often try to respond to several people, but my focus can vary (especially with fatigue.) I apologize to whoever I miss; please know that I don't want to hurt anyone. Actually I'm so new here that I'm still feeling out who wants to hear from me.

May have seen "Bones", Swampblossom has the tube on all the time, news junky, but what she watches at night gives me the shakes, except, My Name Is Earl, love it.

Yurt? You been sneaking a round in my backyard? Stop sneaking come in side it's really cool, made of really old barn board. The inside has such a great flow to it, never did get the glass for the hole in the center. Bad shape now and I suppose it won't be repaired. I'll probably salvage the wood.

Frustrating to reply to one, it seems so exclusive and I never really mean it to be.

It's only an addiction if it gets in the way of living. If it gets in the way of an obsession you have an addiction. Don't confuse intensity with an obsession with addiction I am in love intesity. I can add it to an obsession and hang on WOOT!! However I can add it to an addiction or the addiction can be in a form of intensity. Oh never mind. Yeah you're an adict, live with it

The net is great. This kind of place isn't easy to get a group hello in and not seem to forget someone or have someone feel left out. It's just the nature of the thing.

What is nice about the Cafe concept to me is it has a home feel to it. It's like walking in the door and family is there, they see you and you see them, not like you have to run around and kiss everyone again, already done that many times over. You're lemon and I know you and you know me. No biggie. But for an outsider to lurk they might not see it and fail to come in the door. It's just a built in problem and I don't know how to fix the percived barrier. Still working on it

There is a write named John McPhee, (knowing the way my speliing is going don't count on that being right), he's a little strange in what he writes about. But in a very nice way. he'll write about things like Oranges. Your nic name lemon. Did you know that most all the orange trees in florida are actually growing from wild lemon roots? While most would look at your name here and think it sort of an odd fruit, or perhaps a car not built just right. I don't, I think of that little bit of trival knowledge and see it as a root that other more pleasent fruit spring from. If they didn't do that in florida, no orange trees would last very long. I think we're all in our own way like that here.

Let's see. I wouldn't quit writing so they moved me to the library to quit disturbing the other students or was that the teachers. I still wrote all the time after they did. Until I learned how to pause what was happening in my head, I wouldn't eat or sleep until I fell over. I would keep going for days writing so I wouldn't miss what was happening. I still won't eat unless someone puts it there and reminds me to eat and I often go without sleep to write. I would write before anything and that includes dh. I would give up anything except that. If I had to pay to do it, I would. Fortunately I don't have to pay. I have a bad enough addiction to jewelry, but my writing eclipses everything including every obsession and everything else I have. I will literally write while I drive Postie. How's that for you?
