Sure, have as many as you like, mntn13! And you as well, lelia; we have to be kind to you so that you can recover quickly. :)

I'm feeling really bummed out right now. Our nice new neighborhood is showing its seamier side. There is awful loud music playing about one block away, accompanied by loud drunken laughter. I want to go to bed but the bassy notes will come right through my pillow. Worse, since this is considered a rural area, even though we called a noise complaint in we have no idea how long it will take before the sheriff comes. We really tried to assess the area before moving here, by visiting on different nights of the week and just listening to the various sounds of the neighborhood. We even asked a neighbor if there was ever loud music. She said that this one household did play it sometimes, but not often. But this makes the second weekend in a row that we have had to call in a noise complaint. It wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't bought the house. But now we are stuck here, I guess. :(

Oh hartzofspace that is a tough one. Would send me into a sad/mad/horns-of-dilemna/misery loop. Sure hope it doesn't re-occur much at all. And the sherriff responds appropriately and soon.
:idea: :batman: I'd send him after those neighbors if I could.

If the sheriff's department is not forthcoming, sonic warfare might be in order.

Back in the '80s, my first wife and I lived in a small unit in base housing at Offutt AFB. The couple next to us used to play loud music, usually rap, late at night. We tried calling the base police, but one of the couple had a friend at the HQ, so he'd get a warning before the cops showed up; by the time they arrived, the music would be turned down. Shortly after they left, back up it'd go.

Finally, one night, I turned my stereo speakers to the wall, turned the volume up a bit, and put on my recording of Chopin's Polonaises. It only took two or three repetitions for the message to get through; he stopped playing his rap at high volume after 10pm.

From http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-05-nasal-hormone-autism.html:

Quote:
Children with autism given a squirt of a nasal spray containing the hormone oxytocin showed more activity in brain regions known to be involved with processing social information, a small study found

So if I meet someone I would like to bond with, should I whip out an asthma inhaler filled with oxytocin and give myself a good squirt? Or, following the traditions of the Cafe, should I find out whether the stuff also works by ingestion, and survives baking?

Quote:
The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

And possibly for a while longer, until they've been replicated.

Gromit, Gromit, poor gromit......


Did we learn nothing?

I do know that no one really likes to go hitting links, and links that switch us from one site to another, while trying to read what these words would seem to lead to and thyously indicate ARE of Utermost importance!! So, having said this, a link, which is a repeatance of much muffintude or wise in the sense of don't stick a muffin up your nose, very often. Anyways, da link (probably with ads of how to remove muffins from parts your Momma didn't ever talk about while Grandma was in the house...) and don't do it, unless, you can figure out how to do it right and no one knows what right is, yet, and if they say they do, send them to me and I will fix it, and them.

---- flowery music---(da link)---> my armpit <------ other wise known as...we still can't dance and Zappa, always, dared you too try :)

No where, does it say in the Kama Sutra or any other book of bipedal cohabtitation, or other legged for that matter, unless you're a damn squrriel.... do you ever mess with the stuffs UPS your nose, unless and I repeatage, unless it is....vintage, and then only vintage, dried muffin...... remnants. It will survive baking, probably nothing else will, however.

You should whip out that inhaler and squirt it up his/her nose. If you can find someone you'd like to bond with, who is willing to let you stick something in their nose in the name of scientific inquiry, you've found someone worthy of an aspie. :)

I'm off to Bend, OR for a short vacation,leaving behind two grieving dogs. They always assume that I am never coming back. The sight of a suitcase sends them into a panic.
When we found out how much it would cost to remove our broken, leaking hot tub, we filled it halfway with plastic bottles, put in a foot and half of soil and are waiting for it to settle, then we'll top it with pea gravel and plants. Voila, no debt and a gaping hole.

That's a good solution for the hole! Have fun on your vacation, too! :)

True. Very true.

Who? Me? Nope.

When I say I didn't learn nothing, of course I mean I did learn at least one thing. And some day I will remember what that is.

Not even http://www.brainfacts.org/? Fine.

Yet more truth, but doesn't quite hit the spot, methinks. The autoinhaling is supposed to deal with the it's-not-really-like-superglue problem. See, with superglue the bonding is always mutual. But if someone bonds to you and you don't bond back, you could make someone very unhappy (see all the threads about what do I do with my aspie partner), or you might have a stalker. Both fall under my category of less than fun. I think the option of something more superglue-like might be interesting.

Do you think I should carry a "friend" button on my chest, which, when pressed, will squirt the cuddle hormone in both our noses?
