| I'm interested in what you said about volume and odd numbers. I thought I was the only one that had that preoccupation. I have to have the volume of whatever (TV, car stereo, cell phone), set at an EVEN number or I get agitated. I don't know to what extent this would affect me if I was unable to set... |

| If I do not have dark sunglasses - sunny or cloudy - I am in extreme pain, if not completely unable to open my eyes. I almost did not pass my initial scuba certification because every time we surfaced I was blinded. I have wondered if I can get a prescription mask that acts like those sunglasses the... |

| Bodily fluids - any and all (including my own - this is not debilitating, and I can choose not to focus on it for the most part, in order to have a normal sex life) Body odor - any and all, but rotten tooth breath will make me pass out. Fortunately, it is extremely rare for anyone to get that far in... |

| I totally agree. Why does this have to take hours, and be so expensive? And the tipping thing - I'm already paying $95 for what you are doing, I really have to add another $20? For WHAT? But that is the social rule. We tip the waitresses, we tip the cab drivers, we tip the hairdressers....whats next... |

| I've only seen one episode. I didn't laugh when Sheldon was talking. I realise that it's intended to be funny, and it often is, but I was too busy nodding my head. Now that's a beautiful mind if I ever witnessed one. I agree completely, I had the same reaction. People are laughing and I'm thinking ... |

| I love Sheldon. I have been called a female Sheldon many times. This does not offend me, as he is the sane, reasonable one on that show. Leonard is pretty smart as well, but he's too emotional. Another character that I absolutely love is Dr. Temperance Brennen - "Bones" - from the show Bones. These ... |

| This topic has given me more grief than I care to admit. Since I'm fairly recently recognizing that I may be an Aspie (not formally diagnosed), looking back on the last 10 years or so just makes me want to bury myself in a sand pit. I have had more "surprise kisses" than non surprise - and I have NO... |

| This is a good question, and a good idea in general. I have three 85's - rogue, mage, and druid, and several lower level toons. I am in an active guild, but (as usual) just keep to myself. I play Alliance, on Zul'Jin. Anyone interested? |

I love everything having to do with water - SCUBA diving (especially wreck and deep diving - nitrox for the win!), swimming, snorkeling, parasailing, water skiing, boating, je... |

As for my mountain top, I have a literal (surprise, surprise) mountain top that I favor for "run away" time, and a figurative one. Depends on my level of agitation which one I ch... |

There are so many things to say about so many things that are involved in this whole convoluted situation (which I have now had cause to think in depth about), and I have a tendency to expound on things until people's ey... |

I have gotten to the point in my own head that I have decided to start looking for answers - if any exist - as to why I am the way I am. I am not li... |
