| I own a 1878 Trapdoor springfield rifle and I plan on getting a CCW along when I am 21. The paradox of owning one is that even though you pray you never have to use a gun you have to spend a lot of time practicing to do well in a bad situation. My reasoning is that the only unfair fight is a fight y... |

I decided to explore a bit more and now I am interested in medicine. It just happened one day, but I'm kin... |

I keep hearing about it on a none autism forum too.
It's a surprisingly good kids show. It has references to the internet and tv shows (I.E Dr "whooves" and chocolate rain.) |

| Aspergic? Never heard of that one, but it actually sounds much better than the other labels. I think I may use that. I'm also glad to see you really care about her, it sounds like you want to be with her and see her old "self." You may have to eventually draw a line when it's enough though, but ther... |

| I'm a psych major in college and thinking about going to psychiatry if I go to medical school, so your psychiatrist probably knows more than I do about this. According to my shrink, everyone with high functioning autism is ADHD and no one with HFA is ADHD. That's an awfully confusing way to put it. ... |

I use earplugs that are made of foam and flesh color, I keep them in my wallet.
They are good and reliable, cheap too. I'm sure I could find a better product but they usually get the job done. |

| I'm just trying to figure out why you would ask this question because that is a little odd to ask. Did you originally think that bullying gives you deep skin? (meaning it toughens you up)? If so I still don't see any benefit from it. If I wanted deep skin I'd join the military and have a drill serge... |

The whole Earth is messed up. Plus, we had all those storms. It's ridiculous! Dear Lord do you live i... |

I have to work at night because our house has 5 people in three dogs in it until about 10pm where I can study without interruption.
I am flexible though, I used to do good work in the morning and afternoon and still can if it isn't a mad house. |
