| Just be warned that most German women do not enjoy being called "Fräulein". You see, it's a diminutive and means "little woman". It used to mean "unmarried woman" who clearly was a lesser kind of woman than any wife already serving her husband... yes, that is sarcasm. D... |

| Hi Scott, welcome! Glad to meet you. I never really thought I'd be on the spectrum until I took a couple of tests a week ago, because I stumbled over some blog posts that were intriguing. Now I'm pretty sure I can see the signs in some of my relatives... none tested. Not going for an official diagno... |

Your home sounds wonderful. Is that the peninsula? I have an author friend who... |

| I love languages. I'm bilingual German/English (probably because English is one of my obsessions). To me, each language opens a window to a new way of thinking. It's so much fun looking at different thought processes behind the words and the expressions. It's just fascinating to me. I did take Engli... |

Hi Chandas, welcome!
I just joined here today myself, hoping to find new friends.
Your interests sound cool. I like psychology, biology, animation (I did some stop-motion movies when I was a teenager), gardening and some computer games.
Have fun here! |

You have received good advice here already, but I will let you see my process to turn a manuscript into a book: 1) I write in LibreOffice. I saw you already have that covered, but ... |
