| I'm the same way. I like it much colder than most people. Above 75 degrees F I sweat, get irritable, and cannot concentrate. It's 80-85 right now where I am in Florida and my co-workers are all talking about how great the weather is and how they want to go to the beach. I just want to stay in a nice... |

| One of my first trips was to Thailand. I brought only a backpack and did not book anything in advance. I just got a taxi from the airport and asked them to drop me on Khao San Road, which is the main backpacker's area. I found a room to rent and winged it with the help of a Lonely Planet guidebook f... |

| Staying at a job for over a year is not job hopping especially when you have several valid issues for wanting to find something better. Needing holidays off to visit family, wanting a steady schedule, or just wanting more responsibility than dealing with customer calls are all great reasons to give ... |

| I don't hide it necessarily, but I rarely bring it up. When I've tried in the past it didn't go well. They either didn't believe me and thought I was using it as an excuse for something or they believed me and started seeing me as broken. Things I had been trusted with in the past were now seen as b... |

| 1.4 does not contain canola or fish oil. The oils I see listed on the ingredients are sunflower, flax seed, safflower, and algal. It has sucralose but they say it is a "very small amount" for flavoring and is the last ingredient listed on the package. They still use Chinese and GMO ingredi... |

| One key point that pops up to me is that you say it's in a place you already wanted to move to. Assuming everything else checks out I'd go and use the job as a way to finance your move. Move into a month-to-month rental when you first get there and try to make the most of the opportunity. If it does... |

| Sorry to hijack an old thread but it was the only one I found. I spent a week on Soylent 1.4 and just ordered another month's supply. This stuff made my life so much better! I've always had issues with hunger and eating poorly. I'm hungry ALL THE TIME and it often gets worse after eating. So I try t... |

| The person traveling at nearly 3x the speed limit would be at fault. The person pulling out had a reasonable expectation that anyone on that road would be going near 35MPH. If they either saw no cars approaching or only saw one in the distance they can expect it is safe to enter the roadway. The onl... |

| I think when someone goes to work as a job coach they assume they will be working with people who cannot do things on their own. She may have heard something about an autistic person who needed help getting around and assumed this was common. Or, perhaps she was just asking you the question to get a... |

| I would say your psychologist may be projecting NT sensibilities onto you. I've found that I do need social interaction and need to know people but don't really need "friends" in the typical sense. I prefer to have acquaintances related to work and hobbies. It gives us a common subject to discuss an... |

| It could be exacerbated by hard water or hard water treatments. I've noticed that hard water makes my skin hurt during and after a shower. In a couple of houses with water softeners it feels weird, like there's a film on my skin that won't wash off. Those are the treatments that add something to the... |

I prefer to stay in the same place for at least a week because I like to get a feel for what it's like to live there rather than just hit the tourist attractions and take a few pictures. I have free time but not a lot... |

| BTW, I have always wondered why the 'F' scale is set the weird way that it is. It makes no sense. Mike 0 was the lowest temperature some guy named Fahrenheit could achieve at sea level using ice in a salt water solution. It kind of makes sense in terms of reproducibility. The high end is just weird... |

| Once I found out about face blindness I started thinking about how I recognize people. I figured out I tend to remember peoples' mannerisms and voice more than anything else. I watch how people move, gesture, and watch for characteristic facial expressions. Voices are sometimes unique as well, and m... |
