I think one of my cousins might have Aspergers.

An uncle lived in Saudi Arabia for years with the Air Force & was considered a millionaire while there. Once he moved back to the U.S., he was broke on the same amount of money.

My maternal grandmother, who I call Nan, has a grey budgie called Peter and a clock by his cage that makes bird sounds every hour on the hour. Peter chirps when the clock makes a noise.

I don't have any memories of my Nan or my aunt (my Mum's sister) without a cigarette in their hand.

My uncle (my Dad's brother) moved from Birmingham, UK, to Canada, on my 16th birthday.

Despite of my dad having 2 siblings, and my mum having 4 I only have 4 cousins in total.

All my relatives live in the same town as I.

My oldest relative will turn 97 this year.

My maternal grandfather taught himself to play the organ by ear. He didn't know how to read music until quite late in his life, when my mother taught him.

My maternal great grandfather was a Drill Sergeant in World War I.

I recently found a commemoration plaque on the wall of my local bank , as the founder of the bank attributed his life being saved by the training he received by him.
It also featured a letter of exchange between them dated in 1917.


As the old Corny Disney World song goes: "It's a small world after all".

My paternal grandfather was blind from a rare eye disease that both he and his sister had. They were the only known siblings with the disease at that time and were mentioned in medical journals.

My aunt Ela is a very primitive woman. Her daughter and older granddaughter are coarse, noisy, primitive and fat - just like aunt Ela :twisted:

Out of the whole family of mine, I attended the funerals of my two grandparents and an uncle. They died respectively 14, 8 and 7 years ago. My uncle was buried on the first anniversary of grandma's death. I had a dream on her then, in which she told me he'd die.

My aunt Ela resigned from school at 18 because she wanted to marry her boyfriend and be a housewife instead. She is getting examined by a doctor due to her hearing impairment today - for a long time she refused wearing a hearing aid.

I think my second cousin has Aspergers too. He has a prosthetic eye because as a child a firework shot and made a branch stick into his eye. Always thought that was interesting...
