Some of us just wondered why making friends just didn't seem to work out, shrugged our shoulders, and concentrated on learning, hobbies, and imagination. I learned, but it t... |

| One of my cats eats paper. She also likes to lick the inside of my coffee cup after it's empty. She'd drink the coffee if I let her, but it's bad for cats. I don't even put milk in it -- I drink it black! |

| So far, the only realistic (though argueable) depiction of Aspergers I've seen on celluloid would be a movie called "Little Voice" starring Jane Horricks, about a girl with an amazing singing voice but who is shy and reclusive and obsessed with her decessed father's record collection. I may be wron... |

| What I REALLY hate is when someone, let's say a waitress, addresses my husband as "sir" and me as "honey." Hey, either there are a Sir and a Ma'am here, or there are two honeys. Make up your freakin mind. |

| My sixth-grade teacher complained I wrote like chicken scratch. He was right. And I think that through the years my typing probably has made my "chicken scratch" writing even a little more unreadable than it was in sixth grade. What is it about sixth-grade teachers and handwriting????! !! Mine pull... |

Every year since, I've been saying I should put it on and stand at the foot of my driveway saying to the kids: ", OK, all you huddled masses! Are you tired? Feeling poor? Yearning to breat... |
