Probably tea bags. I don't know enough about tea to give myself the right amount should there be "loose" tea.

Do you use soda/pop as your "coffee"?

Nope. The Aurora rarely gets down to 41 Degrees North Latitude, which is where New York City is located. I believe Oslo, Norway is at about 60 degrees North Latitude.

The highest I've ever been is 64 Degrees North Latitude: Reykjavik, Iceland.

Do you know about or watch the ongoing Special Olympics ?

I'm worried about the stroke business now. On a number of occasions in my life, my cognitive functioning has inexplicably slipped, literally overnight, though it always returned more or less to normal after a few months or so. I'd say I have been having one such episode a year, on average, since I was thirteen or so. I'll have to do more research into this matter, but if they don't show up on scans, I have no idea how I can falsify such a conclusion, which isn't going to do my hypochondria any good :(

I wonder if a mini stroke can be brought on by sleep apnea; I've suffered with this since about the same time.

I prefer tea bags, though I like to use loose tea when preparing green tea, which is rarely.

I don't watch the Olympics at all. The only sports I care about are cricket, football (soccer), rugby and American football - in that order.

Are you familiar with the game of cricket?

My brother met some real cricketers a couple of times including his all time fave ‘hero’
They tried to teach me but i suck at sports or even just following along n understanding whats going on

Oh! And my uncle was a cricketer Naushad Ali

That was before he joined the army and before his wife (my moms sister) died of brain cancer

I've seen cricket matches. I played cricket a couple of times. I have a basic knowledge of cricket.


Same question.

Regarding regression that is v common in autism. I have it all the time actually i was much smarter n more eloquent n knowledgeable when I was 18 than now.

It may not have anything to do with strokes if that makes u feel better
Or maybe u have partial or absence seizures like my elder son he always regresses after


Extreme Regression can also happen with shutdowns which change brsin functioning (research with brain imaging has confirmed this)
I had one major shutdown last yr happen to me could not ‘snap out of it’ - fr 2 weeks which really changed me
So if its something like that wd it be likely to help ur anxiety to know its not life threatening?

Thanks. That's quite reassuring. I don't know if you could provide more information or links or whatever; I mean, I could type "autism regression" into Google, but I'm not sure the results would be relevant to the specific kind of regression you're talking about here.

I love cricket, particularly the statistical side of the sport. I had no idea any significant number of people played it in America.

Do you enjoy fortified wines? What's your favourite? I bought this earlier for £15 (a bargain):

It was meant as an early birthday present. I'll probably have finished it by then though.

I rarely tipple. I have on occasion enjoyed sherry from dry to sweet.

If you drink tea, do you ever have it with milk? Why or why not?

I always drink black tea with milk (not a contradiction; by black, I mean leaf colour), though on the rare occasions where I drink green tea or Earl Grey, I have it without. It's a taste thing.

How well-done do you like your steak?

There is one coming up local to me and part of me wants to go the other part is 'NO WAY'. I think 'no way' will win.

I know of a few, but not really my crowd; they're all video game types.

Are you a fan of Marmite?

No. It's too salty for me. Yet I do like miso which is similar.

i like it, fan is a strong word, haven't had any marmite in years

do people assume you're workaholic because you don't always put up with their nonsense conversations & go back to your activities ?
