Holy Crap, I almost fell off my chair when I saw it. It looks more like Roman sculptures of an aging (and very drunk) Bacchus than Michy's David.

Mothers Day, to me, is the most ridiculous load of horse s**t that was ever conceived of. I read about the history of it, (forgot the guy's name) but all it ever does is depress me and fill me with anger and despair. I guess the Mom in "Leave it to Beaver" might enjoy such a holiday, but not me. I won't go into it, since I have been enjoying the bantering here so much. I am just glad that this silly day is over.

and who is that young man on YOUR avatar, Zonder?? The sepia and the pose shows me it might be very old (as photos go, that is, not like in Paleolithic sort of old)

Oh, that was my paternal grandfather when he was about 28 during WWI. He had some anxiety issues - it runs in the family.

At least I'm in one of them. Why did you have to lay out so many traps?

Ineptitude? Testing the theory "more is better"? Anyhoo, the idea was
I didn't want you to get away without wishing you "Happy 1000th post!"
Guess I could have done it in a more civilized way, however.
But where's the fun in that?!

Happy 1000th post Sam!

Thank you.

And happy birthday, Merle.

Who here wants to throw Merle a birthday party?

By the time you read all the way to my post, Sam, you will realize that the sweeties that realize Mother's Day for me is a very difficult holiday, they decided to make some fun and celebrate my UN birthday.

I am still waiting for my Hummer Limosine to pick me up for my day at the spa. . .

Merle

oh, I didn't quite understand that.

Ok, so you and I can celebrate your unbirthday

(sorry)

I don't know. Does Chuck do good portraits of horse's body parts?

Does anyone know what I could get Sonja for dinner? I asked her where she likes to go, and she said "anywhere that's on fire".

Don't know if he does portraits of horse parts but I happen to know that there is a random horse leg or two kicking around lost in his house somewhere. Is your horse's arse missing a couple legs??

No, but I haven't found the horse's front all day.

Hartz, I think I speak for everyone here when I say we love having you here.

I was asked by my lovely partner of thirty-three years to inquire about something that drives her crazy. The issue is a little complex in that, although she does not have ASD, she is clearly an NA (that's neuro-Atypical). She has as many sensory issues as I do (perhaps more) but they stem from dyslexia and ADD.

That said, my lovely lady has bade me ask whether "chewing loudly" is common among folks on the spectrum. I'm not talking about chewing with mouth open but rather somehow making "too much" sound when eating a crunchy food. I try constantly to avoid chewing crunchy things around her but there are always unavoidable situations. Try as I might, I am often only aware of my behavior after she points it out with a wince on her face (I'm sure it is physically uncomfortable for her). I am talking about such things as the sounds from seeds in figs or strawberries causing her to jump or flinch. Something like chips is unbearable but maybe more understandable.

So I guess the question is how much I may be crunching obliviously and how much her physical sensitivity contributes to it. The difficulty I have eliminating the behavior is a red flag to me that autism may play a hand. Things which bother those around me that are NOT based in my autism have always been relatively easy to eliminate from my repertoire. With her sensitivity, however, it may be that I am oblivious because the sound is next to nothing for everyone but her.

Any thoughts out there?

I am so furious! I just called the IRS, and it seems that someone made a mistake with my return. Meaning that even though I provided them with my bank info for an electronic deposit, they processed it for a paper check. Meaning that, instead of getting my stimulus payment this week, it won't arrive for another two months!

I have a dental situation that I need to deal with ASAP, and was counting on getting it taken care of this week.
