One of us! He's one of us! :twisted: :P :lol:


:D He most certainly is! Makes an Aspie mother proud!!

Well, we're having our first snowfall of the winter here in Nashville. Which is to say - a light dusting of snow. Fortunately, the schools and many businesses are closed due to Martin Luther King Day, as Tennesseans cannot drive when even one single flake touches any road anywhere in the state. Whenever that occurs, there are day-long traffic tangles, 500 car pile ups, cars upside down in the ditches and on top of buildings - instantly.

Unfortunately, I am now trapped in my home, afraid to even get near my car, knowing the inevitable result. So here I sit, looking a candy beads that I cannot eat, without so much as a breadcrumb in my cupboard, knowing that a psycho sandman is going to arrive at the exact moment I doze off (in my hunger weakened state) to steal my eyeballs. Thanks bunches.

Time to forage for hickory nuts armed with goggles. Hope I don't end up captured, bound, and driven to the mental hospital again. 'Cuz the explanation will go something like: "See, my friend Sleepydragon made these incredible inedible candy beads, not magic ones, of course, and I got hungry, but Gromit scared me with a film he posted for Blessedmom, so I decided to wear goggles while foraging for nuts in this snowstorm." The psychmobile will surely end up in a tree.

This, from "The Geek Syndrome", was also true in your case:
"The old line "insanity is hereditary, you get it from your kids" has a twist in the autistic world. It has become commonplace for parents to diagnose themselves as having Asperger's syndrome, or to pinpoint other relatives living on the spectrum, only after their own children have been diagnosed."
:lol:

That is so true! And often the child goes undiagnosed because they are similar to their parents who don't see the differences as "differences" at all.

Hi, Richie! So that's where the cold's gone. After 3 weeks straight of far below average weather and far greater than normal snowfall, we are finally seeing temperatures between -5C and 5C. I've heard that's what it was like around here way back in the 1960's. How'd you feel about keeping those Alberta Clippers for a few more weeks? :D
