Yep, we have an IRC chatroom  If you hover over 'Community' in the top navigation bar, you can access it via 'Chat'.
It's a public chatroom though, I think, so anyone can access it. |

I love the cowboys! They just keep their heads down and do their thing, no matter what the circumstances (and come up on top no less).
Catching up on tonight's episode right now ... Zev and Justin are doing really well |

You'll see a lot of blogs about South Korean food, music and culture in general, but they also post about teaching - check out the 'Teaching in Korea' tab. Hope this helps... |

| The only critique I might have of the article is that it keeps stressing how the boy has an IQ higher than that of Einstein - ignoring the fact that relatively many other people do too and that Einstein was said to have a 'low' IQ in comparison to his genius. But that's the Daily Mail for you. As an... |

I have an account, but I never had the confidence to upload any of my seriously amateur artwork onto it.
I like your art! |

| Thanks so much for the links to The Book Depository and Better World Books! I've placed more than 10 items on order so far - they're all books that I've wanted to buy, but were too expensive on Amazon or even in my local bookstore. Do you know of any other sites that have free shipping? Especially s... |

| If anyone asked me about what Asperger's or Autism is, I'd say, "A mental condition mainly characterised by difficulty in communication" and then promptly shut up. Hopefully they'll get the joke and laugh along with me. If not, it will no doubt trigger more questions and I'll just go with the flow t... |

| There's a club at my school where you can do charity work outside of school during the allocated club time. I volunteered for UNICEF and SPCA, and all that was required of me was to count money and address letters. It's also not a very popular option, with the few members being very quiet and courte... |
