| Dude, after all that, somehow you managed to find a computer with an internet connection. Good for you! The thing is, you're preaching to the choir. Everyone here has Autism in some form, and we've all got our own horror stories. Although you've gone quite a bit over the top. If you feel like killin... |

| I tried to improve myself through chemistry too. Back in the 70's is was all the rage. Didn't get rid of my Asperger's Syndrome, but it did make it a lot more fun. At least from what I can remember of it. |

| Coming up on my 30th High School reunion this June. Never been to even one, and never will. Like you, nobody had an interest in knowing me back then, so why should I try to get to know them now? I can't think of any reason. Close out your facebook account. It's a work of the Devil anyway. Make your ... |

| What you've described is something the entire country's been doing for the past eight years. Ever since 9/11 George W. has been the biggest bully on the planet. And we Americans, through our spineless Congress, has made nice to him every time he stepped on other countries. But the madness of it is t... |

| I've got my days set. I get up at 9 p.m. and I'm at work at 10 p.m. My shift's over at 6 a.m. Home by 6:30, breakfast and exercise until 8:30. Then it's off to Dog Park with the wife and three mutts. Home from the park at around 10 to 10:30 a.m. After that its two hours of either running errands wit... |

The answer to your question is that lefties get their writing hand all dirty from dragging it behind wh... |

Good test Tiger, I got a 30.
As far as the topic goes, looks aren't everything. The fact is, most men are unattractive anyway. Oh sure, some more than others. But the joke on women is that God made us for them to look at, and he made them for us to look at. Tee Hee.  |

| That's a really great discovery. It's a pithy little catch phrase you can keep in your pocket until just the right moment. And it's not even one of those obscure refrences that only us Aspies get. Everyone can understand the meaning. Bravo! Speaking of obscure refrences, I'm about to throw one out. ... |

One day I went over to his house thinking everything was fine. But he stopped me at the door and said "You know, the only reason I hung around you is ... |
