We met here True.

You know, I haven't been sending you chapters because I wasn't sure if you liked it! LOL If you want to keep reading, I'll keep sending.

I knew no one. No one knew me. Cha Cha Cha

Are you being ignored?

I wonder if younger aspies that might wonder in here, might not get a lethal dose of culture shock. I'm reminded of Zappa doing anti drug ads, he would come on and say "kids don't do speed, it will turn you into your parents". It's like who the hell are these old people, they're certainly not me.

I could easily see an aspie of 20 not getting a picture here. It's like to them there is more pressing business to be done. Relax kid, it's going to happen anyway. Ya, there really is someone out there for you and they want sex too, just don't get all nervous about it, the human race hasn't managed to die out yet. I'm proud of being a virgin? Highly over rated commodity, but I've never heard of a death from it either. Let me introduce you to electrical appliances.

Oppsie off subject

I get, "You should try living what you preach." LOL Okay. I did.

The ChaCha was fun, but I liked the Jitterbug so much better. I missed my partners grip on a swing one time, she landed on her ass on the floor. I was embarressed. We got better at it. I was berated for being embarressed and not helping her off the floor, they were correct. So if anyone lands on the floor, I'll help them up and then be embarressed.

Yes, it's very important to be embarassed in the right order.

You are a f*****g pig, man. If I ever saw you even close to one of my daughters I'd sic my husband's nine brothers on you. Get some help.

Do you really think that a statement, even hypothetical, directed to a 20 yr old girl by an old geezer "let me introduce you to electrical appliances" is appropriate. Would you want someone saying something like that to your daughter? Let's say this took place in a work of fiction. Would the character be a hero, or a pervert? Would the readers really be offended if the girl's mother or any one else called the guy a f*****g pig? I don't think so. No. I am not kidding.

Cosmic Cat, no, I don't think I'm being ignored. It would take months for me to realize that.

I was just commenting on something someone said about cliques. I've seen established groups exclude new people before, on many other sites. In real life. On jobs.

I never fit in to any groups, so I can't be excluded or kicked out, since I was never "in" in the first place.

I just add comments here and there. It's hard to keep up with all that is going on in this thread, plus all the other forums.

I also have mail at MySpace, and still read some of the disgruntled posts at a site I used to belong to.

It is more difficult to fit in with a group that already knows each other. To try to understand the flow of dialogue. And I don't have anything to add on family history or writing books. There isn't much I can add in. I just try every now and then.

I don't think the problem with the younger generation is just found in the younger AS set. I have been working with children for 22 years and the answer to most of their problems would have been a good spanking and some discipline. As a dayhome provider (daycare) I am no longer even supposed to give time out or say DON'T to any of the precious little monsters. It might just bruise an ego. I am looking for a new career because it is really quite disgusting. My own children were raised the old-fashioned way and are very nice because of it.

Hello folks,

I'm new here so thought I'd add my voice to what seems like a cool place.
DX in September 2006, and now, according to a letter received from occupational psychologist, I fall into the area associated with dyslexia and dyspraxia.

I've enjoyed reading the posts and hope to contribute

Wait.

What happened?

Cosmic? Post? What is happening here?

Is this a real potential argument? Or are you kidding around?

If you're kidding around, carry on.

If it's going to be an argument, how about no name calling? Just address the issue. Uh, and be sure to define the issue too, because I guess I missed it.

Hey Mescalero! Welcome. Coffee dude will serve you. Just add your two cents whenever. That's what we all did.

If you have a blow up or meltdown, don't worry about it too much. We all tend to do it once in awhile...obviously! LOL But then we're Aspies so why be surprised, right? We also misinterpret each other and have to explain things. Oh well. This is our life. Welcome to it!

Me too, but that's the story of my life. I'm not sure if Cosmic saw all the back posts or not or has seen some of the other forums on here. Post was just talking about the things they say on here, Cosmic. I don't think he meant to be offensive. I think he was just saying if some of these guy Aspies would just relax instead of antagonizing over their lack of social skills, what girls really want (no NT male knows this by the way), etc., they would actually meet a girl and have a relationship. He was more referring to how much they antagonize over dying a virgin when they are only about 20 years old.

I think it came across wrong. We will have to watch that. When people wander in and read things it can blow up on us out of context. I mean what will they think of Sylvie! And she's just a character!

I can understand your frustration. My sister has a 4 year old granddaughter who has spent a good deal of her time in daycare. The child's mother, my neice, is a clinical psychologist. She has scolded my sister and her brother-in-law a few times for introducing the child to the terms good and bad. They're not allowed to say "Were you a good girl today?" because according to the mom, the child doesn't understand those concepts. Actually, the child does. Once my brother-in- law asked the child "Have you been stealing pennies out of Poppy's piggy bank? The mom said, "Please, don't use that word. She doesn't understand the concept of stealing. Later, when the mom wasn't around the child said to my sister "Poppy's bad. He steals candy from my candy jar."

actually when I launder my cotton linen/rayon and high pile cotton velvet I use only Dreft Baby Laundry soap. And fragrance free fabric softener. I am very particular about my laundry. If I bleach my sheets and whites, I use one complete wash and rinse cycle for the soap and bleach then another whole cycle for rinse and then softener.
I was a professional laundress for a few months because I am very particular about my laundry.

if it's clothing, it's gotta be soft and non binding like flowy gauze dresses and skirts and blouses with gauzy scarves, and such.

yeah!
