| As above, not exactly not interested. I just don't get any information from faces beyond what i have learned by looking at picture cards for emotional facial gestures. There is no info there so no reason to look there. For me it's a learned thing. You should spend about half time looking at eyes, a ... |

| If ballroom isn't you thing there are many other forms of dance. I myself love "Lindy Hop." But if you're not into jazz, there is Rockabilly (if you like 50's rock) rock step (for 60's rock), line dancing (country) West Coast swing (which is VERY similar to Lindy Hop, but modernised so you can dance... |

| In the last few years I run. To prevent injuries I run barefoot (or in minimalist shoes.) I don't really have a set pattern to when I do it though. I just run when I feel like it. Which ends up being most mornings at dawn in the trails of a park near where I live. And sometimes of an afternoon after... |

| Depends on the motivation for the food. If you feel hungry all the time I would suggest visiting a doctor to see if you might have a digestive or hormone problem. If it's from a psychological reason (medicating) I would suggest talking to a psychologist or counselor about your relationship with food... |

| I must echo the sentiment(s) of those that become calm and relaxed after a workout. I have only rather recently taken up running (within the last two years) and find that I am calmer and and more relaxed after vigorous exercise. It's at LEAST as good as half an hour in my own version of the Squeeze ... |

| I have seen discussions revolving around this issue. Asperger's (or any various form of autism) tends to show up at the big "life stages." I.e as an infant it is readily noticeable. Or they appear normal as an infant but once they should be up and about and exploring people or things there is a diff... |

I can only say "Yes."
The words you wrote accurately reflect my own. Though much of the story was quite sloppy and characters had moments that were not "in character." I felt it lacked more than just a satisfying ending. |

| To the original poster, I agree with 23 months later. I think the other two listed hold up perfectly on their own and, if sequels we made, might suffer from Matrix Syndrome. Sequels I would like to see: I agree with another Ocean's 11 Film, and Jumper. They rocked. I have none that I can think of th... |

| There are indeed many awesome hobbies listed so far by responders. For my own: I have recently taken up running. Which I find very enjoyable. My favourite is getting out at just before dawn to a trail that is near my house. Many times I can run and not see another person till i leave the park and ma... |

And the housing "bubble" wasn't caused by Capitalism. It was caused by interference in the market with indu... |

Can't break and enter into your own house (if you have a deed.) and if you dump ALL the stuff on the verge you c... |

If my parents just tried to "add" something to my routine i would chuck a hissy fit and refuse to comply. So, i suppose considering that... a bit of both maybe? I would... |
