Once I won back the price of my ticket! WooHoo! Not bad, considering I've only ever bought two tickets in my life.
I know the odds, so I don't play lotteries. After I've been struck by lightening for the third time (I'm still waiting for the first), I'll start buying lotto tickets. |

| I don't walk on my toes exclusively, but I have always walked 'toes first'. That is to say I walk toe-heel, toe-heel - instead of the other way around. I guess it sort of goes with the territory and isn't overly unusual for us. Don't worry about it. At least no-one will hear you coming! :lol: Now, a... |

Check out this article and see if it seems relevant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperacusis I have a very dear friend who finds everyday noises absolutely unbearable... the same noises that everyone else seems able to simply "tune out".

| First thing you gotta do is get your priorities straight. The pot you smoke saps all initiative and makes you want to just sit around and veg. I know this because I'm strongly "420 friendly" myself and have been all my life. You know I'm right when tell you that this is not the best medicine for you... |

| No, I by no means think the OP is faking. I just wanted him to understand what medical people see all day long to give some perspective. 2nd opinions are worth their weight in gold. Understood. And, I completely agree! It can't be easy for well meaning and perfectly conscientious practitioners to h... |

| Hello RJ, There are indeed a lot people who are completely out of their depths when it comes accurately recognizing Aspergers. You must bear in mind that mental health encompasses a vast and confusing array of very subtle 'syndromes'... and symptoms, so not all counselors possess a sound understandi... |

| Thanks so much for all the replies, everyone! I think I get it now - it sounds like we kind of all have different regionally accepted pronunciations. That said, consensus does seem to imply that I should keep my hard 'g' and switch the b to a p. I'll try to pronounce it as p (perger) instead of b (... |

However, I know I do indeed have a high tolerance to what others consider to be physically 'painful'. Just the other week, while using an air nailer, I managed to drive a... |
