Donna gave an excellent talk to Bendigo/Vic/Australia carers (mainly). I am awestruck at her presentation and how far she has gone in her life. Now to dig into her book...  Especially liked her attitude to her Audience, and her sharing her musical talent. |

| ulie-b is spot one. I am a G.P., and when I entered medicine 26 years ago there were no interviews. I started medicine at 16 y.o. too! Now, they have an aptitude/personality test as part of the entrance but people run courses tutoring kids to get the required answers! I have had Asperger's before it... |

Count me in!
Now, Push ups use a 70/30 weight distribution.
So doing a turtle for me would be equivalent to doing
pushups with 50 Kg extra.
Given I am 20 Kg overweight, Some of that would have to be lost

Push Ups
Squats
Chin Ups

| How is your Nutrition? I am a G.P. but recognise that the brain needs nutrients more than drugs. This was born out when I saw a documentary on obsene parents that had their 3 y.o. on 5 drugs for "bipolar", yet the kid was eatin pluto dogs and drinking blue cordial!! ! A lot of foods are neurotoxic (... |

| Thanks for the article, I think it is spot on. I have wittnessed the pain of my own marriage breakdown and have seen another AS/NT relationship suffer. What an epiphany it was when I realised that intermittent feelings of loneliness were preferable to AS/NT conflict. Aspie affection is a little misp... |

Go For it ! !
Grunthos' theory od age
0-27 Youth
28 - 54 middle age
55- 81 Old age
>82 BONUS TIME
So IMHO it is fantastic, as 27 you enter a midlife crisis and dont need to have one at 30/35/40/45 or even 50!

Self employment is the way to go!
I give Big Brother a wide Berth even though I could suck Govt money.
In my way of thinking, I only need "enough" monry.
BTW I thought 20% of USA were unemployed/underemployed so this is Typical  |

Can Top that!
I rode from Melbourne to Perth via the coast and Kangaroo Island (5300 Km)
without Mum knowing. I had told Dad though- and he told Mum when I got half way
across at Eucla (the day Keating won the election).
Took 50 days.
Lost 18Kg!!
I was 26. |
