Colognes and perfumes put me in a foul mood, beyond the fact I get nauseated and develop migraines. I don't understand why people want us to think they smell like evergreen trees, or why we are expected to smell them across the room.

Foul mood smells which are beyond the norm:
-cocoa powder (I'll want to die)
-peppermint or spearmint (especially gum / flashbacks)
-cigarette breath (worse than actual smoke)
-plug-in room or car fresheners
-poultry roasting

straw shortner, all perfumes/aftershaves, fabric softener
mold and moldy dust

I can't stomach or stand the smell of fish. One bite and I throw up, I've always been like this since I was a baby.

When was the last time you felt you had a new lease on life?

Smells I hate: barf, body odor, excessive perfume or cologne, bad breath, cigarette smoke, pot smoke, musty odor of old books, barf-like chemical odor in many new books, old drywall, pee and certain bubble gums (they smell like bad breath)

I have had many moments when I felt I had a new lease on life, especially in the past five years. I would say I got a lot of inspiration from the man who is the subject of my user name, Denis Istomin. Seeing what he has overcome in his life in order to excel inspires me.

The term "new lease on life" is a perplexing term to me if I think about it too much. I know what it means though.

I can't recall the last time I felt that way, but it's looking like I will be changing jobs soon and in doing so, a lot of the stresses I've had to deal with for 17 years will be gone. I'm thinking positive that I'll have a "new lease on life" when that happens.

If you drink coffee, what is your favored method of brewing it?

Via a stove top to boil the water.


do you try to help other autistic people as best as you can?

I try to help autistic or ND people on WP, but I don't know any in real life except maybe my brother.

During my career in secondary education I worked and helped many on the spectrum. They helped me as well.

Do you cook or bake? If so what is your favorite.

I cook and bake. I cook every day to avoid starvation but I prefer baking, which I do less frequently.

Do you believe in UFO's as being from outer space?

I'd probably donate to charities focusing on solving world hunger, ending homelessness and one about de-stigmatizing mental illness.

I would donate to:

1. The Make-A-Wish Foundation for critical children (future)

2. The Brontë Parsonage Museum (past)

3. Fitzpatrick Referrals veterinary service (animals)

My local Humane Society
The local Literacy Council
Something to help people with disabilities (I would like to help autistic people in any way possible)

Same q.

Tough one, but...

-American Red Cross

-Albertina Kerr

-Oregon Humane Society

Same question.

Probably charities for children.

Do you like Where's Waldo books?
