Not too difficult a task I suppose. Is there a Dino-Aspie Cafe for Dummies?

I see the guitar on your avatar. Do any free form with it? It's just like that in here, catch a beat you like and add in when you feel the right move. Like a jazz player told me one time, "sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but man when it works, it's wonderful". I'm not too fond of jazz music, but I see the beauty of the form. I'm always in awe of those that can express them selves in abstract ways and that includes words. When I grow up, I'd like to be able to do that, too.

yes by all means, if you 'get' CC, i'm sure this is a happier her place for her to be. you're welcome!

I'm flattered to read that many of you read my thread without posting there. why is that?

i'm not really competition, i just think the one thread is inadequate, there's obviously need for other alternatives. you can post there if you want, but i'm a childfree single and many of you seem to be partnered childed, such that i don't feel that comfortable around this thread myself. i hope we can all be companion threads though, while we wait on the alex's whims.

all the best

The unpredictable nature of the relationship and the lack of constancy and security may cause either, or both, of you to feel very uncomfortable as time goes on.

This could not be more true!! ! LOL Who knew! The stars have all the answers.

Rather than serious and intense, your sex play tends to be just that -- play.

I thought the stars gave you a nice reading, that's why I didn't laugh. I'm happy for you!

This is the part I laughed at. It's so true. Sometimes he's shocked by me because he's so conservative at heart:

At best, this dynamic is exciting and unconventional; at worst it leaves dh frustrated by Zanne's unwillingness to be more committed and devoted to the relationship. Sometimes dh wishes you could both just enjoy good old-fashioned missionary-position sex, complete with loving whispers and soft sighs of enrapturement.

Hello Chuck. Certainly didn't offend me!

Didn't call her didja. tsk tsk.

Nope indeedy! :lol:

Mescalero,

Ask yourself this, do you want her to feel you were rude and that you actually felt no connection that day? That's what she thinks when you don't call. So if that isn't the message you want to convey, call her. If you can't do anything else, say I don't feel I have anything to offer you. Bluntness works. It's better than ambiguity. Right now she thinks there is something worng with her.

About the NT/Aspie thing: I think it's a damn shame that you are so handicapped by social blindness especially with those powerful gifts you 've got. Someone should invent a language translator which can translate social language.

They did! They have these glasses that interpret and send you messages. They have a small camera on the side of the lens and algorithms interpret the meaning of the face and eyes it records. They are testing them. If they work, I am getting a pair! Then I can see those nasty tenters and they won't be fooling me any more.

Oh don't let dh hear that. He's very jealous Nanna. I never see it, I just jump when he says, "Do you MIND not looking at my wife?!?!" It gets worse if they touch me.

Well maybe it's not just jealousy. He says I don't understand anything about what's happening around me and he's always afraid something will happen to me. So maybe that's it too. I don't know. He's always been that way. He hovers.

Most men annoy me. All they see is that face. I used to want to cut it so they'd quit looking at me cause that's all I'd hear. I thought if it was scarred they'd stop wanting to look at it.

I'll put a nebula back up. Anyone for Crab Nebula?

Because I am a writer and like to write, which means I post a lot and you were rude to Cosmiccat so why should I bother?

Questions?

P.S. I'm also childless, but not single.

Postperson, I'm child-free and single.

I would still like to see an all-adult forum where all kinds of conversations can be separated and individual.

Some of it could be sorted already, but people tend to cluster. Even Aspies, I guess. I would love to see more art in the art area. I used to go through page after page of art in other forums.

I wonder if the cool family photos could go in family area?

It gets confusing, because some topics have many categories that they could go in, but which ones? All? That's too spammy.

In this big thread, things get lost. I know I don't respond to everything I want to respond to. There's too much.

That wouldn't change with a single second huge thread. Then there would be two big threads I couldn't keep up with and sometimes in which I would feel ignored or couldn't even find my way back to where I posted to see if anyone did respond.

Threads get going fast, with many people participating at once. If I'm not here, then I miss it all. Same with anyone else. And it does feel like being left out. Not that it is planned that way.

I never seem to arrive during that mystery time when everyone else is around. It's like that for me all the time though. I miss a lot.

Think about the kinds of things you would most like to talk about, if there WAS a forum for adult aspies. What threads do you see starting or kinds of things would you participate in?

That question can go out to everyone. There's a lot of banter, and I don't participate in that too often. I like to talk about something. And if it is about spouses and kids, I don't have much to add.

Everything does move quickly on this thread, but I like the idea of a good chinwag, something I also don't do easily in RW. I imagine everyone sitting around- can only visualise dim light- and the conversation takes on a life of its own. This place makes me laugh, tugs at my heart strings, has movies, art, photographs...poetry, stories...

And when I leave here I think of you all. Think I'm going mad. Ahhhhhhhhh

What?!? You think you can just up and go mad? Apparently this place is full. So that means there has to be a line. So that must mean you have to get in line. So that means, wait, I used to do that hurry up and wait thing, don't like it. So that means you have to pick a number and wait your turn. Yeah that's it. I see your number is 61, so wait your turn. So that means you gotta sit down and wait, Coffee Dude ! ! Over here, we need drinks, coffee for me, please. You shouldn't have to wait very long, your number is pretty low. Might as well post some more, as long as you're here.

You are a true sweetheart, ZM. Thanks for sticking up for me. Did you pick up on that post from Chuck saying you all "got my back" being misinterpreted by PP as "getting me back". LOL

Gosh, things move quickly here . I've just about caught up now, though I have had to intersperse posting with work :roll: And then I hadn't logged in, so thought the last post (when I finally read through everything) was at about 6am.

I don't post there, because by your implied definitions I too must be a "post whore". I like to ramble, sometimes make inane comments, play games, and I've even been known to have posting contests with people for a laugh.

Besides, I thought calling shadexiii a "dick" on another thread for disagreeing with you on "post whores", was offensive (though I see you've edited that out now).

So I guess I know I wouldn't be welcome on your thread.

Can't remember the rest of the words to that right now but it seemed appropriate. Popped into my head, any way.
