Hmm. I do remember your name coming up in conversation but I don't remember how that came about. I don't have a strong memory for conversations. I have a more visual memory. I remember Adverb referencing Reservoir of Dogs because it was a visual metaphor for how we were all walking together.

We talked about a lot of stuff and people. YES EVEN YOU!

Hey, did I come up in conversations?

You came up in a conversation between anonymous anonymous and I.

Yes you did!!

We were all like, "Hell! Where the hell is Tim? He should be here!"

something about you being at ikea

I recently had a dream that we were all riding around in a van together for some reason.
All kindsa crazy stuff happened in that dream....and there were severl more people who i did not recognise.

AWESOME!! !! !!
That would be fun.

How's about a meet up at Cici's pizza?

Sounds like a premonition...for a ROAD TRIP! heh

Actually, I have no idea if I would feel claustrophobia or freedom in such a situation.



Dude, our brief conversation about Cici's must've done a number on ya. Ain't perseveration grand?

hellz to the yeah!!

Cool Scott, you joined up.

Lean back, kick your feet up, and get comfortable!!

Hi Gang,

Who else would like to come, and does anyone need a ride? Scott asked me to
post up that he can hold 4 people. For those that want, the #20 bus runs right
by me and this Thursday they run "Sunday service" every 25 minutes...

We're thinking of watching a movie and specifically something Aspie related
as an educational thing, Alan and I have been scouring libraries all over the
USA looking for films and we have a pretty nice collection right now

Looking forward to seeing all those who want to come!

Jeffrey

Thanks.

Now down to business
I wolnt invite everyone to DeeJay's for Thanks Giving, thats his job.
What I can do is offere my assistance to those who would like to be picked up.
I hail from Seabrook, where things are just starting to get back to normal. The stench of dead fish isnt as prevalent and It would be nice if someone could pick up everybody's piles of trash on the road sides. otherwise, its a really nice place, I reccomend it !

I have an impulsive vehicle that occasionally jumps curbs because it has NO patence for long lines and wasting gas. Otherwise, She is pretty docile and very reliable, until her owner/opperator goes tweaking with stuff. but he will refrain from doing any such thing so wwe can offer transportation to anyone who may wish to bounce over to Mr. DeeJay's place.

I have the idea of bringing a tabletop pizza cooker wich I expect can operate in wind gusts of up to 20mph, otherwise it would have to go indoors. frozen pizzas are not expensive and range in quality from edible cardboard to rising custs that explode. any suggestions? If there are those 'cheese only' folks, speak now. otherwise, I like pizza loaded. Pizza for Thanksgiving? How bad can it be?
If someone is just really sympathetic fo that poor bird, this may be for you.

Movies:
I have lots. Ill bring them. But Im not really well rounded. like, I dont have chick flicks. Theyre too emotionally related. But I have a lot of neato stuff. Like I have the Z channel doc and the Scaled composite's X-Prise winning space flights (extremely underrated ground breaking history). and probably more Rory Gallagher video than anyone in a thousand miles around. (sorry, not the sledge hammer guy)

Ill just bring what I have and I encourage anyone to contribute.

If you need help with this, LMK.
Call me 469-964-9286

Poopy, I love your latest Ghost song at the cafe. I want to be there next time.

Gang,

Thanks for coming out! Despite, and really perhaps because of our aspie issues and
the fact that we all shared them, this was one for the record books IMHO. I have not
enjoyed myself during the holidays like this for a very very long time and when I got overloaded I was allowed to eat my myself with complete group understanding, that was incredible .... thanks for that!

David too said to tell you thanks, it was a lot rougher for him as he is just coming to terms
with this whole thing and now starting to believe me about the diagnosis. I am hoping as a
group that we can do more things like this as it helps me cope as I can bemyself and not
get strange looks (like the NT's always give me, like a tree full of owls)....

In short, thank you so so very much!

Jeffrey

PS: I'm currently working through John Robison's book "Look at me!" and it has
proven to be one of the hardest and most painful reads I have ever gotten. I've
been crying off and on all day, but in the books 'darkness' I am seeing light and
some of it is damnably funny ... and some so funny that all you can do is cry.

It's not happy crying, not sad either, not hopeless, mainly just crying in RELIEF!

I had an exelent time. Everyone was very gracious with me and my stuff.
I did bring the Pizza cooker, set it up, and after through inspection was ready to go, but entirely unnecessary as someone had brought turkey and all the cool turkey stuff that goes with it. It was awesome. Thanks to whoever did all that.
I got Ice.

Now I can honestly say that this was one of the best birds ever. I should have brought some shears to cut thru caritlage as as I sent runnoff flying everywhere during my poor attempt at carving, chunks of tender juicyness was the best I could do. at least I wasnt skimpy with the helpings. But this was one of the best cooked turkeys and everyone should ask Jeff from whence it came. I think it was slow cooked somewhere.

I got tuned on to the Onion News, hyabusa powered Smart cars, And an Airstream with deep orange shag. And some very greatful chows.

I shared my book collection on the subject of my primary obsessive fixation, Lotus Super Seven. and my aspie book collection wich I need a break from.

I really appreciated being with folks who patiently tolerated my show and tell party.

I do recomend Look Me In The Eye by Robison for everyone to read for a first Aspie book. It is the book that started me on my aspie journey.
As a note, Although John is now a recognized aspie expert, author and speaker, He wrote his memoir after his diagnosis, but before he fully dove into his education of the spectrum. He wanted it this way so his recolections would be as first person as possible and wouldn't be influenced by additional education or "subject experts".

Like many aspies, Johns refuge was his devotion to his talent, electronics and more specifically sound equipment. Self taught, John had worked on sound system electronics and modifying guitars with special effects for KISS. and this is a huge understatement.
Today John is happy fixing land Rovers.
