No, I can't really organize myself to do any housework at all, except for some dishwashing (manual, not machine). Most people would be horrified at the internal state of my house. I'm pretty horrified myself at times.

Do you do much gardening?

Zero. I'm phobic of soil and worms. I also have Agoraphobia and Scopophobia. I have landscapers who tend the gardens for me and I have to pay people to cut the grass.

I like spending time outside at my other house because it's very private and lakefront, but I don't do the gardening there either. My friend lives there and he takes care of it.

I've only got small gardens at the front and back of my house, but I struggle to keep them in check. There are three rose bushes at the front, which I manage to deal with (sort of), and one at the back. I keep getting sycamore trees spontaneously seeding as well, and two or three of these need to be dealt with soon, as they have established themselves close to the house and could threaten the foundations.

My front garden is largely a 'natural' wilderness - I'll try to post a photo on WP in the near future.


How many miles (or metres) do you walk in an average week?

I don't walk for pleasure (see above: Agoraphobia and Scopophobia ^ ) but I walk my dog every night in the dark. I've never measured the distance but it's about a 45 minute walk. OK maybe not every night. Not when the snow is up to my hips, or anything like that. And not when there might be worms on the path.

I walk around one mile per day, as that's the distance between my house and the supermarket for a round trip.

How long were you aware of the existence of Wrongplanet before you joined?

I'm pretty sure it was the same day. Likely a couple of hours.
I remember reading posts from Blabby and then going all in.
I booked my assessment a few weeks later, and had it administered within five months.

First became aware of WP circa 2006, lurked for 8 years, joined in 2014.

Do you think WP will still be around in 2032?

I imagine it will be. And knowing me, I'll still be spamming the place with useless efforts to promote all the useless things I habitually promote (e.g., being an individual and a critical thinker, ethics, literature, and loud music).

I'd like to think it'll still be around, but I do get concerned about how committed Alex Plank is to its future existence (and about his approach in general, actually). Don't get me wrong though - his creation of WP has been a fantastic achievement, and I'd prefer WP to continue with him at the helm than any other scenario.

Which other internet forums do you actively contribute to (if any) apart from WP?

None.
I don't do any social media either.
What you see is what you get.

same q

None right now, but they come and go for me and I might join some others in the future. I'll probably stay with this one too: I found it while I was being assessed for Aspergers (as it was still called then), and it was nice to finally find a place where I naturally fit in.

Same question.

I've joined others in the past but didn't like the way they were run.
I keep coming back here for Leap Frog, books, and Music.
I'd say 80% of my posts are word games or YouTube.
It's sad to see so many people leave here, but I keep in touch with the good ones.

If you could make a new WP rule, what would it be?

Less heavy-handed moderation. The current mod team are probably the best we've ever had, but I still despair at the way threads are shut down or deleted so often. I believe that the influence of identity politics lies behind a good deal of this, and I find that regrettable, but sadly a sign of the times. King Canute eat your heart out, lol.

I'm going to bed now., I've been up for 21 hours. How long have you been up?

I've been up about 12 hours. But I'll still be up another eight hours or so.
I normally only sleep four hours a day. Last week I was going 24 hours awake.

Have a good sleep, DH.

thanks, I've found this a really interesting and enjoyable session!

Hope you don't stay up this much too often, DH. Have a good sleep anyways.
For me, I've only been up for about 3 hours this morning.

How long do you normally sleep for each night, on average?
