| I used to have a collection of Electrolux vacs, eight or ten of them, but my dear wife got tired of them taking up space in our cottage. Now I use a vita-vac, a great machine that, alas, is no longer being made.It is very well made and designed. |

| I sleep with 'mousey-bear' under the pillow and have a collection of mice on a shelf, several bears, and a saber-toothed woodchuck my wife made for me. Kinda embarrassing for a 60-year-old male to admit, but there you have it, lol. |

| Welcome John; I like trance music, too, but just download streams from Shoutcast, so I don't know too much about the individual artists. I wonder why trance isn't more popular with aspies, I rarely see it mentioned on these boards. |

| I had a severe drinking problem. The turning point for me was when my girlfriend looked at me and said: "you are an alcoholic." Plain and simple, no guilt trips, no expectation, just a statement of fact that I could take or leave as I saw fit. |
