The Dino-Aspie Ex-Café (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)

Could be it. Or my age. Or the fact that I look less like an athlete now when I'm exercising, and more like a dying emaciated moose.

Time to feed my emaciatedness. Have fun all!

Merle ma gurl,
Need to borrow your memory. What was the real name of the movie from about the time of Easy Riders release. All I can come close to is "an electric western". It had a word in front of it, like Xanadu or something close (Zephyr?), I think. It was wierded out, like trip imagery, well as close as anybody to can really get to it. I'm sure it had a soundtrack to it as well and don't recall a bit of that. Been so long I just can't remember but flashes of it, heh.


Coming to the Cafe, soon. "Wild Thing!!" or "What to give kiddies for quality play time".

(if I can figure out how to get vids up on a storage spot and then link it here)

Should do a spin off of "The adventures of a horny candy cane", might be a bit much for this site. Ya think?

Here is something you all might enjoy

it's called The Spectra Quarterly

http://spectraquarterly.org/index.php/n ... n-spectra/

and it is for articles about Autism by Autistics


Merle

Thanks, you do rock!! I often have those self doubts moments, did I get this self DX right, it's all so muddied sometimes with these other little "friends". Reading that just reaffirms, I got this one correct. I could add to what was writen there, I do think.

Thanks Merle! I read the autism description they gave. Oh yeah. I'm in there. Wrapped up in it. Woven into it. Surrounded by it. A walking definition of it. Plus the apraxsias and the ADD co-morbiditiy. Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Say - what does that sig mean? Should I remain at arm's distance?

I loved the restaurant sign Postie! Now, I'd definitely eat there. I ate at an eclectic artistic restaurant at Virginia Highlands in Atlanta just because they threw the food they served at you, and splashed the water at you with the water pitcher. The service was stupendously bad. Exquisitely hideous. The snubbing was to die for.

well, that is the point! Make sure you read the submission protocol before you submit your article!!

I was in Texas when the Monarchs were on migration, apparently one of the paths went over Kileen. It was a wonder. It was also a wonderful thing to know they still had some numbers to them. I think it was about the time they got nailed in their habitat with a really freak frost. May have been before, just don't reacll, but anyway it was really something to see. My memory is so shot, I'm not sure at the moment if it was the Monarchs or not. Yeah the Doc and I have gone round and round on why that is, god I'll be glad when he burns out and goes private.

I did learn something very interesting about the VA (vets admin). Seems their purpose (shrinks) is just to give a DX, perscribe the pills and send you on your way to the councilors. All this time, we're talking years and years, I thought they were supposed to have more imput into the process. Guess The Wife and I had him pegged correctly, close minded pill pusher. Not totaly is fault, as I now see. I guess they don't think it's needed to explain this to me or others. Well ya go with what ya got and I'm thankful everytime I do. Floored the councilor when I said I felt snubbed on the last Doc visist, that I didn't get a full hour. He looked at me and said , you were getting a full hour? I said yes, why. Normal meeting is a half hour. I always knew I was just so special.

Chuck: I wonder..If I walked into that wonderful restaurant with a bib on, would they rip it off? Maybe it's in the dress code not to wear one? Some how I don't think a bib would be any protection at all. I have a horrible problem with restaraunts now, mucht to my Wifes dismay, but that one I would do and do every Sunday. They are open on Sundays are they not? Umm think I might stay away from ordering certian food groups and dishes. They do have dishes?

There are instructions there? Gawd!! It just never ends

The article you quoted is great, Merle. Can you post it in the autism forum? I will also get Smelena to read it. (BTW you seem to be improving at telling jokes!)

I will repost my new signature. I was feeling a bit mean and then Chuck came on board. I then felt uncomfortable as I would with my husband who believes in kindness, so I removed the signature.

I am spending more time on WP because Jim is away, and I am going to make an effort to understand the time zones. Do you ever sleep, Postpaleo?

At the moment it is 7:05 on Sunday morning.

I have a nasty habit (several actually) that tries to pass itself off as sleep.

nannarob! Please don't ever feel uncomfortable on my account! Just be yourself! And your husband is away - here's your opportunity! (just kidding). I love you no matter what you are feeling! Even anger. If you want to show (a certain unnamed non-cafe' participant) you were offended by her offensive words let her know it! Or at least a moderator know it. Probably best not to tell her directly - I saw how she went after Cosmiccat. You don't have to take flaming from her any more than she has to take it from you. (It's somewhere in the Bylaws of the Wolf Pack). I realize you probably feel that we should be given the opportunity to vent mistreatment and misunderstanding by NTs while here on Wrong Planet, but venting directed at one person directly (you) is strictly prohibited. I don't know what it was that you said, but I do know you, and I doubt you said anything offensive at all. Much less directed at any one person specifically.

I certainly am not the moral compass. Look how many times I have screwed up. Whoa! When I do, people let me know. I apologize, learn, and move on. You are your own moral compass, and will do and have done a much better job than I ever will. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable! I was just afraid that if you carried the unfortunate words that were directed at you as your signature, they might foster that type of thinking in others. And I'd hate to see that nonsense spread.

Your fan,
Chuck

Postie! We could submit a research paper! It just has to pertain to autism.
I think your ability to do numbers but not math is an aut-ism. It's definitely some type of -ism. Which makes it research worthy. Jethro D. Bodine was a double aut spy if I remember correctly. Maybe it was naught. Probably ought to be naught. Maybe it's ought-ism(s). So there's numbers involved. Or non-numbers. Maybe even imaginary ones. So statistics can be collated and made up. Lau can do the math since you just do numbers. I'm sure we could get grant money. May be even able to prove what we say. They'll probably pay us to start a regular guest column. What do we start measuring? Duck tape and string are probably essentials. Maybe we can research the instructions of the submissions protocol.

CHUCK! You are hilarious! You can't be serious!

Sorry! I hope I didn't offend you because you were being serious and here I am laughing at it.

NO! Now I get it! I hope you WERE being serious! And it would still be hilarious. And probably good research, too.

But, I would really like to go a bit further: We need to do a couple of studies and publish The Traists of the Autistic Spectrum Researchers & Psychiatrists. Don't you think it's about time the tables were turned?

Can't you just imagine going in to one of those places to participate in some AS research and exchanging questionaires and pulling out your video equipment to tape them taping their interview of you?

Wow!

HUMPH!! See Wit he reversed my saying, "I don't do numbers, but I do the math". I just have to kind of a heart to let Chuck know he's deslxic like I am. But he is a better speller and all of my bad words I can't pin to the desxlci thingy or however the hell you spell it.

See that's why one must always have mad duck tape and string with you, you just never know when you need to do things like string theroy. I tie some around my finger to remind me of something, forgot what. Maybe to tape the video equipment that is using tape to tape you. It's very simple, really.
