| My dad has been in a nursing home for some time now. He just turned 75, and just started taking kidney dialysis three days a week,. He will do dialysis for the rest of his life. But that's only part of the story. Earlier today, my half-sister (with whom I have a fractured relationship) said that I s... |

| Hey, everyone. I haven't been to WP in a while. I've been busy with school and job-hunting and working on my first novel. I wanted to self-publish it, but self-publishing packages are expensive, even at their cheapest. I tried finding an agent, but I received over a dozen rejections. So, months afte... |

| I've changed the prices to $1 a download for all my chapters. But I have more harrowing issues. I've been trying to promote my novel in various venues, but have had almost no success. Just today, I went to Survivor Sucks (a snarky message forum which I admittedly visit every day) and promoted my nov... |

| For the past six years, I have had a love-hate relationship with the blogosphere. On one hand, I love to write and I want a venue to express myself. On the other hand, I have failed to sustain a blog. I don't know how people do it. It seems that no one is interested in what I have to say, and also, ... |

| I don't know how to console people. A few days into the New Year, my nephew Roger passed away from cancer. Everyone was of course upset. But I didn't know how to react to it. I was never close to Roger, and even though I attended the funeral and said the right things ("I'm sorry" and "My condolences... |

| It's been like this since I was a kid. From elementary school up to college, I was hardly social. Even in class, when we were asked to pair up or get into groups, I didn't make the first move. Often, the teacher or professor put me in a group and I was slow to gel with any of the others. It's not ju... |

| I took four of those tests earlier this month. This is what I got: BROAD AUTISM PHENOTYPE QUESTIONNAIRE Score: 120 aloof, 102 rigid, and 108 pragmatic You scored above the cutoff on all three scales.
