I would call the cable company.

OK thanks! I've answered that so I'll give someone else a turn.

Yep...of course the kid should be exposed to all manner of knowledge.

What I'm against is the emphasis on that knowledge over more emotive, concrete things.

Raise him to value quiet time, alone time, solitude, imagination. Don't overschedule him with hoards of activities and other kids. That would be my own choice, as I think kids are far too overstimulated these days. I wouldn't even let them watch tv until they're much older and have learned to value reading, reflecting, thinking or doing.

Do you tend to enjoy romantic times( No not in terms of physical romance) rather earlier times that were set in places with people of great honor like something out of one of the myriad of IsabellaLinton's books?

The TV thing is what I want.
I'm just worried. That noise needs to be fixed soon or I might have a mental breakdown. I've already been on the verge of a shutdown for 2 days.
It pissed me off earlier. I've been dealing with it for about a week now.
Honestly I think getting the owner's permission is stupid. Because it's disturbing my peace. I might go to the section 8 housing, after I talk to management to see if they are serious about getting hold of this neighbor, to see what can be done. This has to be a break in the lease.

Is this the same tenant who stomps around and makes banging noises? Or, are you contending with both issues? The beeping thing would drive me right mad. Can you call someone superior to the building manager? Is there an area manager for that region? Is there some type of document such as "Tenants' Rights" for your state / city? I'd get hold of someone and allow myself to have a full-on meltdown. Usually when I tell people about my autism while they see me melting down they're so scared of the legal / special needs implications regarding accommodation that they'll try extra hard to help. They might even bend some rules. Having a newborn only exacerbates your case. Are there any other neighbours complaining or affected?

In the meantime please take your little one for a walk and pick up some earplugs.

Is IsabellaLinton really in a book?

The stomping is resolved.

I'm going to try to talk to someone and take him out for a walk soon.

@longshot,
To be honest, yes. Isabella Linton is a character in a book, but in real life I'm almost always reading, or living in my thoughts about books and authors. The real world doesn't exist very much for me. I'm a bit dissociated in that regard.

Are you really a long shot?

Well, in some ways as I've often been passed over by other people often seen in the workplace as well, most persons have rarely accepted me as someone of a formidable romantic interest. Lastly, I have taken up some things in life with on a sense of a long shot that such would work out.


This is going to sound silly, do you tend to like the smell of a new book?

Thank goodness it resolved. I hope it's because of the effort you put forth standing up for your rights.

Enjoy your walk. Talk to him while you walk. Show him things. He'll be soothed by your voice and it helps to start that type of communicative relationship.

I'm sorry you feel passed over at work and in relationships. You're lucky that you are still young and self-aware, and you will find that this pattern can change over time.

I love the smell of new books, old books, all books. I was just reading a chapter about the scent of books and other relics from the Victorian era (The Brontë Cabinet: Three Lives in Nine Objects, Deborah Lutz - Chapter 1) about this topic. She pointed out that museums used to allow people to touch, handle and smell artefacts using all of their senses. Now, we are only allowed to look at things from a distance using our sight while in museums. I hadn't thought of museums that way before and it made me very sad. They are indeed restrictive. I'm intoxicated by the scent of a book and could spend hours just inhaling in a library.

Yes, I tend to like the smell of new books, and much like yourself like the smell of books in general. Don't ask me why, as it has always made me feel serene in some way.
2nd, I'm not that young anymore...Something that I don't make much mention about.

Do you like to use different fonts when typing?

I really don't like using different fonts, to be honest.

Same question.

I can enjoy it. I mean I have enjoyed it. I don`t type so much these days though.

What kind of adventure would you go on?
