I had apple strudel and sausages for breakfast today. A very strange combination according to North American standards. The rest of my family probably had eggs and toast or a bowl of cereal.

I have thoughts that people with visual-spatial weakness or NVLD should have disability pension in adulthood.

I would say that I have pervasive developmental disorder, not specific learning disorder. I think that working and earning money is generally more difficult for people with pervasive developmental disorder than for people with specific learning disorder. Pervasive developmental disorder is "general disability" impacting overall functioning and adaptation and specific learning disorders should be rather domain-affecting. I would say that many people with PDD may be childish, impaired in "adult skills" and "weird" even with high IQ and, in my opinion, people with SLDs should be more functional and adaptable even when their marks in school and IQ are quite low. Many people with PDD require disability pension, sometimes regardless of IQ. SLDs are not considered as globally impairing in my opinion.

I've never had Beef Wellington.
I have heard Beethoven's Wellington's Victory (I think John Cage was inspired by Ludwig)
Meanwhile, some Turkish delight in the form of a March

Apple Strudel - I will begin the drooling.
Sausages - patties or links?

Someday I am going to attempt to find out if there is a reason, nutrition wise, why some food are breakfast foods and others are not.
For the longest time, it has been my belief it is social hooey passed down over the decades. However, I recognise that I could very well be totally wrong, so it is a belief I personally hold, but I cannot suggest others follow.


CockneyRebel, you are 51 years old. Eating what you want when you want it one of the joys of being an adult. :)
I will say this. Avoid the raw red meat diet. No good will come of it, despite what some others might say.

Apple Strudel - I need a new drool free shirt to wear. Programmers spell it ware. They may spell it like that sometimes, but it does not have the same meaning. Wait a minute -

ware /wâr/
transitive verb
  1. To beware of.
  2. To wear, or veer. See wear.
adjective
  1. Watchful; wary.

wear /wâr/
intransitive verb
  1. To carry or have on one's person as covering, adornment, or protection.
    "wearing a jacket; must wear a seat belt."
  2. To carry or have habitually on one's person, especially as an aid.
    "wears glasses."
  3. To display in one's appearance.
    "always wears a smile."

This is where my slow processing is a problem. I don't get it yet.

I have "mentality" which sees no sense in eternal punishment. "It" would prefer earlier or later endless salvation of every sentient being, regardless of graveness of any sin.

There was a time when my family had another family over for Christmas. They came all the way from California to see us. The wife was really pumped up about Boxing Day. I would do anything just to have that time back.

YES!

There was a brief time in my life where that started to really bother me, when I watched programs.
Then I just came to the realization that it is scripted. Obvious, right? But mentally my brain shifted to watching it as a performance instead of a story. That is when I started listening to the script writer's voice behind the words. That made me appreciate the actor more. It use to bug me because two people always know the right thing to say when they date. They know what to wear, what to say, and if they don't, it was written that way and it will be resolved, unless its something about unrequited love. Then it plays into the sadness. LOL! I would win Oscars for those types of scenes. It's okay. I got over it a long time ago.

Well, that's some of random truth. LOL

Anyway, I am very grateful I got over the part that bugged me about scripted dialog. Here is another random truth. I really like watching my stories1 whether it is on television or in the theater. Except Downton Abbey films. Those I watch in the theatre. :)

Now. Why did I come to this topic? ... Seriously can't remember.

1 - "my stories" - a trope used by old people when talking about the programs they regularly watch on television, sometimes old women referring to the soap operas they watch. I enjoy the phrase.

I'm going to give myself the benefit of the doubt and assume I'm easy to forget rather than annoying enough to avoid.
This is more of an ego protectant than an intuition.
A 60 year old, 6'6", hippy punk with long white hair sounds difficult to overlook, yet communications for me are almost purely one way.
