And speaking of signatures I hope the changes I made in my profile take effect....


oh, Richie! I am so glad as I am not a James Taylor fan at all, either.. and found that it was not politic to mention it in a post Woodstock world.

but thank you for breaching that etiquette. . I am grateful!


[Ya know, half the planet has no idea who James Taylor is. None ... ok, one,... of my coworkers knew who he was when I snuck a CD on one day at lunch on another computer. (Mine doesn't have any speakers.) ]

But doesn't this mean you won't be sent to your room without your granola and beansprouts now? :wink:



I'll bring the tofu, Nan!! :twisted:


ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. rotten beans.

Kid #2 informed me he wants to be a vegetarian. Can't wait to see what he does when I serve him a nice tofu patty!! ! :twisted:

This may be a hilarious workshop opportunity that's not to be missed! Maybe marionettes are involved. Something like the Muppet Show. Question (A lot of the Muppets have Aspie eyes).

Fozzy Bear and Miss Piggy would take the stage, a man in a white coat would run up and exclaim, "Stop!! ! No bears and pigs! It's just wrong. WRONG I say!! !!" Laughing

(Now, pigs and frogs of course, are no problemo).

Hilarious yes. But worth 800.00 I could spend 5.00 on a used copy of the Kama Sutra and still be way ahead. 8O

Hey speaking of the Kama Sutra, look what I've stumbled upon in my never ending quest for information on the appropriate mating habits of Aspies. An on-line version translated by none other than "da da da da" Richard Burton. I wonder if he sneaks in any foot notes about Elizabeth's favorite positions. 8O My Bad.


not THAT Richard Burton! sheesh!

Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) frustrates simple description. Adventurer, linguist, scholar, swordsman, rogue, genius -- he possessed wild, monstrous talents and was burdened by defects nearly as grave. Continually at odds with the sentiments of his times, his translation of the Arabian Nights and sundry Indian and Persian amatory manuals scandalized society. At the same time, he was an unmistakable Victorian.


How did I get involved in this exchange? I wasn't part of that one. 8O


Yes you were. You started it. :wink:

My vitamins are from Trader Joes. Multi Vitamins with minerals, and vitamin C. I think I was depleted and it was causing depression.
