Do you have Microsoft? You can set up outlook and put the reminders in to pop up on your screen. I do that with everything. Hubby makes me eat. I always forget.

Hi folks I'm back. My mouth just dropped open when I read about Jerry. I met him back in San Diego when I was 18 on the Ocean Beach bus where we both lived. We would lose track of each other for a few years and he'd pop back up in my life. On that first meeting on the bus he asked me my birthdate and told me exactly how many days old I was and what day of the week I was born. We went out together from time to time and I remember his parakeets in his apt. he'd let fly free leaving their cages opened for them. He was my cab driver too as I was didn't get a license to drive until I was 25. I saw him on 60 minutes about 13 years ago. I was so happy for him. He took me to Del Mar where he taught me how to bet on horses. I will always have fond memories of him and hope that I can contact him personally again some day.

Cool that you met him. That's great.

Glad you are back!

It was the summer of '80 before he knew he had AS. I'm glad that he too has found the answers to the parts of his life. We had some great times together albeit a little odd sometimes. I should never have taken his advice on switching horse on a exacta though.

Glad to be back. Greetings to you Zanne et.al. I've been a workin' fool. I don't make any money at my store so I work a couple other jobs. The store is "community service".
It's funny when people ask if I work there...I say it's worse than that...I own this place,if I worked here I'd get paid. But it suits me. My interactions are brief so I don't let on too much I'm a little askew. What comes out brings them back!!

Yeah unfortantly I'm still locked into the microsoft gig. I'll figure out something and I'll have a ball doing it.

Jerry? Jerry?! !! What Jerry. I can't find the referance I'm freaking over here, help please.

I liked the way you handled that. So lady-like yet so perfectly to the point. Like Emily post.
No pun intended.

I guess as my status states I'm a butterfly...I'm going to make a high ball and see my neighbor around the corner who has a new toy she wants me to see. I'll check in later. After having gorgeous sunny weather we're back to the drippy stuff again. Green is my favorite color and there is plenty of it here. Rainy 'til fri. I lived in So. Cal for so long rain is still a novelty to me after almost three years here.

ooh, I just made hummingbird! Who knew? I'm off for now. Thanks for being here.

Since I just spoke about lurkers it kind of gave me an idea.

Wanna play a game? Think I'd like to call it "Fishing for Lurkers". Might even catch one, I dunno. We might toss em back and then again I might eat em. Yeah, haven't eatin much latley, hard to hold up the Levi's. I like to play with what I eat, sort of like a cat does, before they kill it. I'll even set up the Cafe for it and and I have lurker bait. Probably not the correct bait, but I'm only looking for one kind, so it should do just fine. Getting kind of late tonight, so just think it over a little. I like games, yes I do.

Sorry, I didn't comment on the pregnant computer. I had to go watch soccer. There is no emoticon that can accurately depict how I feel about sports. It would be a cross between , and .
If there is a little computer on the way he's coming to live with you!! I have had enough of my offspring for now. Besides, odds are very good that it would be a lil' computer with AS or ADD since it comes from my gene pool.
I bought Tony Attwood's book this afternoon and read three chapters at soccer. I wish I would have bought it as soon as I started to wonder about the people in my family. It diagnosed them in the first two chapters.
By your definition of lurking that is what I am doing. I thought I was just waiting to say things when necessary .

i wasn't whining but if you need to believe that i'm sure you will.

go? well it's hard for me to go as long as you keep bitching about me, obviously i'm going to respond.

happy?

Where have all the good people gone?

Well if your computer does go through birth, I'm of the thought, one can never have enough of them. Run two in my cave and I can't multitask, just don't ask, I have to do it, lol.

Like anything else there are good lurkers and there are bad or can be. For some one to come on a place and just test the waters so to speak is fine. Kind of like trying on a pair of shoes before you buy them. Some are just shy, might have a self worth issue or what ever, might not write very well or what ever excuses we use for ourselves. Thats why I think you'll see a lot of fun stuff in here, it's good for us and it will bring the lurkers in. That they might see we have faults but it doesn't hold us down, least for too long.

Then there are those that lurk with other thoughts in mind, looking for the weak, the ones that attract them for reasons other then what the spot is all about anyway. Sex, power, control, you name the bad things and that's what some of them are there for. But they have to appear to do the bad things and we can spot them. They don't last long if they pop into my rifle scope, I shoot them on sight. I love my family, well as best as my feelings allow, highly protective of those that care for me or i them, or a stranger that is just being preyed upon. This place is becoming more family to me, all the the time.

It's not all peaches'n'cream in here, we;ll have our rough times, but hopefully we can get through them. We're human and we're for the most part aspies, that in itself is a set up for some misunderstanding. You can sit on the bully pulpit all day long and preach. I think it's a lot better to do it. I mean what they going to do to you if you screw it up? Turn you into an Aspie?
