Re: Boyfriends
I've been there *hugs*. I think that you never know if you don't try. I wouldn't message and say that you miss them and want to get back together or anything but I don't understand what is wrong with wondering how someone is doing? Though I don't seem to understand a lot of the societal norms regard...

Re: ''pardon?''
I'm always getting irritated because it seems as if my voice is "invisible" well you know the auditory version of invisible lol. I will be talking and people just talk like I'm not saying anything..or walk away etc. When I call them on it they say "oh I'm sorry I didn't realize you we...

Re: textures
For me it is vinyl shower curtains, inflatable toys, totes, beach balls, etc. that nasty plastic smell when it is first opened (I'm getting nauseous just typing about it). I can't even have things like that in my house. If my kids have something like that..I have to put it outside until the smell di...

Re: Religion
I'm agnostic as well *smile* I think Joe summed up my overall opinion quite well. I went through a religious phase when I was younger. At the age of 12 or 13 I was attending this big church that was downtown where I lived. I went to sunday school and the main service (in a great big auditorium)on su...

Re: Harry Potter
My kids (ages 14 and 7) and I are huge Harry Potter fans. I read the first 5 within a day to two days of getting them. We've gone to a few of the book release parties (4, 5, 6 and 7..I believe). I only made it half way through book 6 :^( and haven't even started 7! I know disgraceful isn't it??? I j...

Re: Reading and Writing
I have had the same problems. My handwriting is very good, though that came with a lot of hardwork. When I was a kid I would regularly get marked down so much on an assignment that it made it hardly worth turning in. There were a number of times that I was given an A for work but marked down to a C ...

Traffic signals
I was wondering if anyone else has a lot of difficulties with any traffic signals that are not your straight-forward stop-slow-go. I find that if I'm driving down a road that has multiple lanes and of course multiple traffic signals, my brain gets jumbled as to which I should be watching. I've notic...

Re: Can you judge your own volume?
I have volume control issues as well. I tend to notice all of a sudden that I seem loud or sometimes I think I sound loud and ask and the person I'm talking to will say no (or they say "yeah a little"). I do know that everyone makes fun of me because when I call anyone... apparently everyo...

Most qualified to do an assessment?
I've seen things saying psychologist, neuro-psych, neurologist, OT, etc. In my experience what you get diagnosed with has more to do with who is diagnosing than anything. So, to get an accurate diagnosis, which of these professionals would be the best to bring up the very obvious possibility of deve...

Re: How many driving tests?
3 times for the written and 3 for the behind the wheel. The only reason I passed the third time on the behind the wheel is the girl testing me said "Now don't think of this as a test, I want you to think of it like I'm a friend that needs a ride home" and that's exactly how she gave direct...

Re: No sense of direction.
For years I've said that I am "directionally challenged". I've gotten a little better when it comes to driving. It's inside of office buildings, hospitals, malls and on campuses, etc that I have a problem. I've been told a number of times that I couldn't find my way out of paper bag and ot...

Re: DOES ANY SLEEP A LOT LIKE 14 HOURS
I used to sleep upwards of 16 hours a day at times. For years they said it was depression. Every anti-depressant they put me on made it worse or just didn't help. I've also always been kind of backwards with my sleep. Can't sleep at night..even if I'm awake all day. Can't stay awake during the day e...

Re:
If there are any women on here I need help with something. I have trouble with shaving the back of my thighs. It's a tough spot to reach and any tips would be helpful! I've heard that most women in Europe don't shave their legs, so if there are any of you who do or if there are some people from the...

Re: Doctors Appointments
I have 2 middle names...forgetful and procrastination queen. I've had the same experiences with arriving to doctor's appointments (and other engagements) on the wrong day/time/etc. I've had therapists, dentists, friends...drop me because I just can't get it right. They are all of the opinion that it...
