That wasn't so good, really. It didn't have an image of IC 342. However, the Orion Nebula, for example...

It's looking like your Phoenix. You should snag that for your avatar.

Whoops! Sorry Belfast!

I was down reading your list ZanneMarie - I agreed with the whole first part - well thought out and nicely done! (Disagreed only with the apology part - I think people really do see that they've made errors and then try to restart on new footing). The whole last part, well, you're probably right (but I wouldn't know :) ).



Hey, I said it was only true of NT guys since that's all I have experience with! Anyway, I was being a pill when I wrote it.


See, Lau does know how to flirt, at least Aspie style. Show me fractals and objects in the night sky and I get all hot and bothered! That's how you give an Aspie girl a HOT date!


LOL Hubby told me to add, "Let me show you my fractals, baby." LOL He's so right!

Thanks. I was pretending it was a new one since we are in a virtual world. Now he'll get all excited knowing I broke my last crop! I still miss that thing!

ok, ok, I am the one at the party that wants to celebrate exactly at Midnight on New Year's Eve, and the one that wants the count down to start early so everyone can be all happy happy joy joy at the same moment so we can all have a MOMENT together (sometimes known as convergence.)

So. . .as you can see, we are counting down to our 100th page here at the ol' Spam and Kipper. We have ebbed and we have flowed and we have wasted/invested hours of our lives and costly internet time to get to those 100 pages.

So. . .any ideas of how to celebrate? Holding virtual hands and singing Koombaya? getting cables and tackle and hoisting us up to suspend ourselves over WrongPlanet accomplishing 'crop dusting' farting on each go round? Everyone doing a Chinese fire drill by doing a one post spam of every active thread on the Forum? Supremely ignoring the 100th page and ragging on the one that pops up and mentions it by dooming them to loss of internet connection forever?

what say you?

I like the Chinese fart rag idea.

I'm kind of the "None of us is part of the group" type. LOL

No you are not alone with the New Year's thing. My best friend, who I swear is Aspie and even more aspergated than I, always celebrates New Year's in an elaborate way.

Well, yeah. Life is good. It was rough getting started, we lost six during pregnancy. Then, we gave up "trying" (actually we gave up more than once), but two little miracles finally "came true".


oh, my heart goes out to you, Dawg. I miscarried 6 times myself between 4th and 6 months, so I understand the heartbreak and confusion and blame that can embitter one against the whole family experience. I am so glad you perservered ( or is that perseverated?) until you have your two little miracles!

I have brought one pregnancy to term, in 1969, and she was taken from me as they had different laws back then, different procedures and practices.

so I have reproduced myself, but didn't raise any children. I don't know if she is OTS, either.

Merle

I thank you, Merle, but WOW! ... What a coincidene! Ours were lost between the fourth and sixth months also, except for the first one, who did not make it past the third month.

*becoming suspicious that I am talking to my wife online* (wouldn't that be an aspie's irony?)

The second one was the absolute hardest, though, because we had made announcements to the world and everyone in it and newborn gifts had come our way already from family and friends. We hadn't told anyone about the first time, figuring it was a fluke, but when it all went bad, everyone seemed to avoid us or at least the subject. Except for the nursing staff, we had no support at all. We quit telling people after that and just kept it to ourselves.

BUT ... Hey, don't anyone feel bad for us, because what treasures we have, now, will never be outdone and all the bitter cold and pain of before, melts away when I hear the melodic laughter of my incredible children. We're all good here!

I feel for YOU, for not knowing your child. Like Chuck said, I hope you can meet up and do fun things, if that is what you want.

OK, I'm a fractal nutzoidian, too. Where are all the fractals everyone is talking about. I may have to take hostages, by posting more of mine to show off, if someone doesn't "give 'em up."

"Massage"??? Run away, Hon!! ! Run away!! ! Run Away!! !! :lol:



Call me wierd, but I don't like being touched by strangers, near strangers or virtual strangers. A hug, a peck on the cheek, a warm handshake, that will do thank you. A massage seems so, well, redundant or superfluous and definitely invasive. Touch and intimacy are one to me, and since I don't care to be intimate with strangers, it's hands off. Paying someone to touch me or manipulate me would be completely incomprehensible and repulsive. Once my husband and I were at huge flea market. This place is so huge and packed with people that you can easily get separated from whoever you're there with if you lag behind. We got separated but I managed to catch up with him by following the route we usually adhere to. He was being "massaged" by an Asian woman, she was running some little wooden device up and down his back. I quietly freaked and told the woman "That is my man, and nobody touches him but me". My husband appeared chagrined and the Asian woman eyed me strangely, then backed off into her little tent.

More ASPERGATED! oh, my gawd, I love it, love it love it!!

"Sorry, this issue really aspergates me!" "Ms Morrigan, I am quite aspergated with your reports this quarter!" " ooooh, he is SO aspergating I could just SPIT"

yes, yes yes. when ever I think 'frustrated' I will substitute 'aspergated' instead!

:) I understand Cosmiccat. Massage is not well respected here in the USA. When I saw how well it promotes healing, I studied it thoroughly and got my license. I've probably given thousands of treatments: from infant massage, to rehab of limbs out of casts, to sports injury massage, to pregnant mother massage, to hospice care patient massage ... I never charge a dime.

But for someone who doesn't want to be touched - quite disturbing. :)

I just like putting my knowledge of anatomy to good use.
