It is a polemic against parochialism and monoculturalism. It's tongue-in-cheek.

........

At least, I think it's tongue-in-cheek. I have met people - both here in Australia and in Canada - whose worldview was completely, unironically, frighteningly similar to this!

Most of the time I back away from 'em, slow and easy, with my empty hands in plain view. They can get pretty nasty when riled up.

I was married to one of those. Maybe that's why I didn't find the humor in it. I heard it too often.

Awww... I'm so sorry to hear that.

I sure know about age making you slower! I can relate. I had to stop cooking for a living because I just couldn't stand (it!) up for long streches. . .so I went to community college and then to reg college and got a job I could sit down and do. I am getting slower too, but it is not mentally slower so I am really glad I learned a sit down job. I cycle through homelessness and economic security in about an eight to 10 year cycle, I find.
anyone else's life takin' care of business cyclic??

Sort of. But my family does do their best to support me, even if they don't completely understand AS.

Studying and lurking:

All you people around the world still on February 29th have been given an extra 24 hours to catch up on everything you are behind on! Time to do your yearly budgets, laundry, paperwork, filing, put your pictures into albums, clean your kitchens, scrub your homes top to bottom, clear the gutters, trim your trees, put air in your tires, write your memoirs, call your family, wash your cats, square everything away, scrub the rust off your railings, and paint the bushes. Then it's time to catch up on all the sleep you have been missing.

Let's go let's go let's go let's go!! ! Get up, you darlings!! ! Get with it!! ! Movemovemove!! !

Thanks, Chuck, for waking me up. I sure got up fast when when you came through the door!! !

Thanks for the wake-up call, Chuck, but alas! To no avail! For I am so far behind I just looked up and saw my own a$$!

AWWWP!! ! No excuses outta you Mr. Duncansbass!! ! Drop and give me fifty push-ups! Then I want no less than your greatest musical masterpiece created, written, and performed by Oh-nine-hundred!! ! That would be this morning, Mr. Duncansbass. Get to it!! ! Movemovemovemovemovemovemove!! !

...and YOU, MS. Lauri!! ! I see you want to laugh and encourage Mr. Duncansbass!! ! Sit-ups! Do it!! ! BEGIN!! ! I'll let you know when I'm tired so you can quit. And while you are doing your sit-ups, I expect you to be reading your homework. Have your book read, and all exams completed by Oh-nine-hundred.

... and I'll be checking on you! ...don't forget - I've got eyes in the back of my head!

Thanks Chuck. And also Krex for your comments.
"only a pharmacist" ! please! and I'm not alarmed, I like to have LOTS of info.
My mum has some neuropathy but I will have to ask more about that since I guess I don't really know what it means in her case. She's had a couple of accidents because of the left side thing and maybe in this next round of Drs Appt, they can check into this more. Sometimes it takes a few incidents for Drs to start putting the pieces together...

oh yeah, HFA or Aspie for sure now that I've learned about this. It's revelatory to realize this about her and myself and at least one sib. This new knowledge has already helped my marriage a bit (which is pretty solid so this just smoothed out a hump or two in communications...), helped me interact and support my mum and dad (dad is pretty anti-social) and, well, it's good to know and understand this about myself.

(chanting to myself "I am an animal, not a plant. I am an aminal, not a planet..."
oh, and the spring thing usu happens to me in March - no sleep for about a month! maybe I'll get caught up in my web filing, or wrongplanet surfing...)

ok. That's enough work. Time for a dance break.

I wish my computer could play those You tube videos. I guess it is dyspraxic, like me.

I read JoanDarris's post and though I am not sure of the context (it looks like a reply to a pm) I got some info about the concept of neuropathy. I will research this and bring the info to the neurologist I am seeing next Friday.

Thank you.

DUDE!! !! You're making so much noise today that my side of the brain can't study!! ! Now sit your saffron-kilted butt down and polish your army boots while I listen to Duncansbass' newest masterpiece. He plays one kewl bass.
