Nah. He survived it. He's made of stern stuff!

well, reality has weilded it's two by four on me. Here I am, packed and stumbling around in all the boxes in my little apartment and the one I am moving into still hasn't got a working stove, no refrigerator and I can't get in touch with the NEW landlord cause she is in San Diego. The OLD landlord, that is going to give me my deposit back early to PAY for the place that isn't ready for me has been called out of town for his father's funeral and won't be back till Tuesday.

I am supposed to be moving OUT on Saturday and IN on Sunday .

So, I could melt down, or I can just roll with it. Guess. . guess which one I am doing!

go on, I dare ya'

guess

You girl ASpies get to keep yer youthful good looks, and us boys age like Dorian Grey.

Something with cheekbones too, I notice a certain facial structure among us, hmmm.

Further research is called for ! !

Picyures, everyone ! ! MORE PICTURES ! !!

Well here we are all friends of the mind. That's what Toni Morrison called it. "She is the friend of my mind." That's from Beloved. I may not have quoted that exactly. I don't have the book here in front of me, but I do like that saying.

It's interesting to look at our heritage especially from a genetic standpoint, but I consider you all (even Nanna and Smelena) my family. I had to laugh when I read that was an Aspie thing to consider everyone the same as close family. My close family numbers in the hundreds, so I always feel what's a few more at that point?

A long time ago (when I was in college), my best friend (who I strongly suspect is Aspie as well) was disowned by her family (imagine, an Aspie being disowned) and my family just started to consider her part of the family. She even writes us down as her next of kin.

Prof:"Oh Zanne, you're so talented at writing stories. I've got a coupla ideas I've thought of turning into stories."
Zanne:(politely, as with a child)"Really, well, tell me about your ideas."
Prof:"Well, there's this captain of a whaling ship, and he's only got one leg. His other leg was bitten off by a whale and he's totally obssessed with finding this whale."
Zanne:"Moby Dick?"
Prof:"Say wot?"
Zanne:"The name of the whale, Moby Dick. It's a story by Herman Melville."
Prof:"Blast!! OK, here's another. In Medievel England there's two boys who look alike. BUT the one boy is of royalty, and the other is poor. They exchange places, and all sorts of hi-jinks ensue."
Zanne:"The Prince and the Pauper?"
Prof:"OH, that would be a cracking good title ! ! Let me jot that down"
Zanne:"No, that's the name of that story. It's by Mark twain."
Prof:"Auughhh ! ! All right then, there's this chap who's jealous of a friend who's well off. This chap lures his friend into a trap, promising him some fine sherry. When he passes out, the chap walls him up.."
Zanne:"You mean 'The Cask of Amontillado?' It's by Edgar Allen Poe."
Prof:"Damnation and biscuits!! How am I ever going to get rich if all these hacks keep stealing my ideas ! !! !!"
Zanne:"~sigh~"

LOL Is that your way of saying you liked it?

I'm coming back in here because I get short with the kiddies. They get a little excited about it, especially the religious ones. Poor things. Telling me I should live what I preach. Hmmmm I already did...and then some.

Nice avatar Zanne.
I have been spamming for the last hour.
So will chill out here with an espresso, while i think of doing something more constructive.
