I rate myself as on the very mild end of Level 1 ASD. Whatever that means. I heard about Aspergers Syndrome from NPR late 2009 and it began to change my life. I never got a diagnosis, but did have a professional read a questionnaire over the phone which resulted in a "likely Aspergers" score. I do not have severe symptoms, but Alexithymia seems to be strong in me.

If i remember correctly you don't like people congratulating you with birthday, so... happy National Banana Bread Day ;)

Depends on the day in question. Particularly if it isn't actually my birthday, despite invasive bots trying to determine it while I keep them guessing . A practice that I suspect most persons don't attempt.

Happy Birthday! 🎂🎈

I dont know how anyone tolerates wearing glasses all the time. I only use mine when absolutely necessary, and every now and then I get so irritated at them that I just launch them at the floor. They smear up if you exist in the same room as them too hard and nothing ACTUALLY cleans them properly. Must... resist... urge to stomp...

I never needed to wear glasses with a prescription until about 4 or 5 years ago. Now I wear them all of the time. I find it difficult to motivate myself to clean them, so often I have to put up with them being a bit smeared.

I keep a micro fibre cloth next to my computer to give the glasses a rough clean when they need it, which is way too often. Eventually though you just end up smearing the grease around instead of wiping it off, that's when I get up and use hot water.

I have trouble handling not having them on. I like to be able to see where I'm going. And yes, soap and water seem to be best for cleaning them.

I saw a squirrel take a whole pack of cookies from the trash. It was cute.

I feed them peanuts. First, the blue jays come. If the squirrels don't get there quickly, the jays get them all.

Guess who is extremely happy with his fancy new Keurig, which I insisted was a frivolous purchase lol

My daughter gave me one for Christmas. Now, I drink fresh coffee all day long.

To an Aussie there's nothing "frivolous" about coffee. :)

I'll not deny K-Cups are pretty convenient and easy. But I still enjoy brewing traditional coffee grounds. Straight black coffee is the way to go IMO.

The buck snorts here.

Ask not for whom the buck snorts, it snorts for thee.

My mom (accidentally) hit one years ago and it nearly destroyed her car. She's been terrified of driving on country roads at night ever since.
Definitely not as bad as hitting a moose, though... the moose would probably be unscathed, but you'd be dead...

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to be outside of their houses, like what the hell was in his brain.

Having underwritten auto insurance for so many years, it never surprised any of us to see an MVR showing violations far beyond a suspension. Happens all the time. I still recall ordering an mvr on a new applicant whose record was 26 pages long. :rolleyes:

It's kind of strange that there is no bears native to Australia.

Also no cats. No hooved animals of any kind. No Rabies. No conifer trees. No deciduous trees.

I'm sure there is a colony of bears somewhere in the vast outback. People just haven't seen them yet. And I'm sure they are much more dangerous than bears in other countries. It's Australia. :D🐻

My happy place. Just back in from working outside in the cold, and curled up under a blanket in front of our “fireplace”

@Judge Your place looks awesome!! So clean and so much natural light! And love the art. Many of the picture on our wall are just of us playing hockey lol

Natural light? That's just snow. Melting off, making my living room darker than this. ;)

My sleep hasn't been the best because we're getting married a week from Sunday and I'm a little overwhelmed. So if you see me on here at odd hours that's why (I also get up at the crack of dawn for work, which I'm about to get ready for.) There is nothing bad in any way about us getting married, I'm extremely excited, I'm just an anxious person and want the wedding to be perfect.

I had issues at my wedding, but you realize it's really happening and it's a big step in life, so you will get thru this.

We weren’t sure what to do with this little corner since we moved in, but I think it’s come together nicely.
Everything except for the appliances is secondhand :) We are big secondhand/antique collectors, because who needs everything new and full price?

I love your cabinets. Looks very sharp. I want a coffee corner in my next home. I just notice the subway tiles now. Love the look.

We love the cabinets too. Our old house just had white ones. We always wanted brown!

There's many different types of Cordyceps, each one targets a specific type of insect. If there was a type that infected humans you'd have people crawling in to airconditioning ducts in airports and shopping malls to die.

I grow cordyceps!

They look like Cheetos.
