Hi.
I haven't been here for a year or more, but thought I'd check in. I wasn't very impressed the last time I was here, and was never able to make any connections with anyone. It doesn't seem to be much of a community, to me. I'm wondering if things will be different today. |

| As painful as it may be, you could watch a few episodes of Judge Judy. Basically- You're not doing these two jokers any favors in life by housing them, and you are the one who is allowing them to trample over what they please. These two need a solid ass-kicking; not from you, but from life itself. S... |

| The first thing that comes to my mind is that NT folks actually DON'T put much effort or thought into what they do in this regard- it comes naturally to them. Also, it sounds like you're relatively young yet? perhaps MS or HS age? I only say this because I would have only troubled with this when I w... |

| My wife calls me at work, apparently just to let me know that I ruined her lunch plans to eat the rest of last night's pizza because I left it sit out instead of putting it in the fridge. A debate follows with her insisting that the meat and cheese have spoiled and she will get food poisoning if she... |

| I created this picture several months ago out of an old Halloween picture of me and this cubical picture I found somewhere. I was just looking at it now and realized that this very well describes how out-of-place I feel at work, assuming, of course, that everyone else looks completely normal. I cons... |

Because of my dry sense of humor and monotone voice most people have a difficult time determinaing how I mean things. I have trouble with them, and they have trouble with me. |

We all understand each other, just about 100% of the time, but I think that I have trouble with sarcasm from people outside of my group of friends. I've made blunders at work becau... |

| A few years ago I was promoted to a huge leadership role at my company that I should never have taken. The company I work for does over $100 million of business each year, and I was one of 5 sales managers. I was overwhelmed to say the least, also unable. I'm glad I had the opportunity, and I did le... |

| I think that NTs don't mind it so much if one of them brings it up, because NTs approve of the way their own type communicate. I think that we come off differently during discussion, and it's not something they're familiar with or really aware of. |

| Acid will CURE a hangover. Seriously, taking a small amount of Acid will alleviate just about every symptom of your hangover- headache, nausea, low energy/groggy. You wont believe how good you're feeling. Ive heard this from an ex-alcoholic as well - he was lucky enough to have a stash of original,... |

| Be careful with hallucinogens. They can be very VERY intense. I don't think I'm going to touch acid again. I never had a bad experience on Acid, it was always a favorite of mine. Mushrooms, though, are terrible to me. I've done them many times and almost never had a pleasant experience on them. I k... |
