| Chipz, What I was really trying to relate was the concept that if you are out socializing, more opportunities will come your way. Opportunities just popping up, would be considered lucky by many. For instance, if you lost your job, and you had a large circle of friends, they might discuss your unemp... |

| Magpie, It can be hard to admit. I have promised myself to tell some family members about A.S.. I need to get the courage up. Is it better to just be aloof or have people believe that you don't want to bother with them, or let them know that you don't know how? Back to the thread though, It seems to... |

| I think that Aspies are unlucky most of the time and I am basing it on Science, or at least an article I read in Scientific American. A study had determined that extroverted people are much luckier than introverts. Now, although many of us might not be introverts as much as failed extroverts, the im... |

| Everybody is talking about Betty White. I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't particularly care for her. There is only so much comedy in seeing an elderly person come off with off color remarks. |

| Yes, there were many trailers that were considered too toxic to live in after Katrina. The thing that I never understood though, was that all normal building materials have the same toxic stuff in them. Plywood, strandboard, (OSB), floorcovering, plastics used in plumbing like Pex, abs, pvc, etc... ... |

I work from home, so I just work and I check out what is happening on the net. Basically I just feel like a spectator to life.
I like weekends less than I like weekdays. They are just lonelier. |

| As an adult, I finally got up the courage to discuss this with my elderly mother about 2 years ago. I handed her a few pages discribing AS, she read it, and looked up and said, "You have this, don't you? Is there anything that can be done?". I responded by saying no, and that was the end of it. I th... |

| I owned two homes, one was a single home on a nice lot, the other was a duplex. I hated the duplex, because the neighbors always knew if you were coming or going, and I have the same problem now, living in an apartment. The costs of living in my duplex were very low, I bought it as a foreclosure, an... |

| I can't believe this post is on here, and have I got a story... Three months ago I stayed in a fine hotel in a major midwest (USA) city. On the way home in my car, I noticed that I had some bites on my arm. I figured that they must have been mosquitos bites. I got home and a month later, I had more ... |

| I don't want to make a mountain out of a mole hill, but did you know this lady before the bus incident? Although she may have wanted the drunk to stop bothering her, she didn't have to hold your hand and "cuddle" for most of the trip. Unless this was a really serious situation, and this girl feared ... |

| MrKnott, Thanks for reading my blog. I think that I might have to make another, since I have come accross so many unusual things that last couple of months. Yes, I saw that coming. I know that many think that Flory (the character of) was "Orwell," or at least part of him was. Flory had no real frien... |

| MrKnott, I never really thought about it, but I don't have an idea of fun either. I do stuff, sometimes pretty exciting stuff, but I can't say that I have fun, and I don't really even know what I could do that would be fun. In spite of this, I know I want to have it. At this point in my life I just ... |

| MrKnott, I am exactly the same way. I need to have some voices going out there. You are the only other person who I have ever come accross that listens to old radio shows. My girlfriend cracks up when she checks out my Ipod. Radio shows, NPR, BBC podcasts, etc... It doesn't seem to take the place of... |
