    The last thing you bought?

    I recently bought two things: 1: a new drill diver. My old one is a 25 year old Dewalt - still works but the batteries are failing and replacements are not available. 2: a new HVAC heat pump for my design lab / personal space: I just love the new HVAC. It was completely DIY (do it yourself)...

    Movies you think are absolutely perfect for what they are.

    Welcome to Marwen While this movie did not do well in reviews, it is the best match for depicting PTSD that I have ever seen. At least it illustrates my PTSD precisely. Especially the court room scene. That is exactly what happens to me when I experience my PTSD trigger. I have not created a...

    How do you like to travel survey?

    I voted Road Trip in Own Car. A few decades ago, I would have voted by Plane. In the 70's flying was extremely fun. The whole process was easy for me to take. It was all very friendly with no overcrowding. We took a flight to Fresno CA last week. It was horrible. Nothing friendly about it. It...

    Animal Facts that are surprising/amazing/weird

    Very beneficial rat noses: In East Africa, Rats Have Prevented 400,000 New Cases of Deadliest Infection Using Their Super Sense of Smell Rats generally have a very bad reputation, but that is mostly due to unfortunate human social prejudice.

    The culture of lying

    That is not my point. Regardless of consequences or not, I do not believe in harming others. Calling someone ugly harms them.

    The culture of lying

    I think it is bad to harm others. Sometimes "telling the truth" can be very harmful to someone. Telling them that they are ugly may be telling the truth (in your mind) but is very hurtful / harmful to them. A few months ago (November 2024) I wrote this and sent it to a local news paper "letters...

    I'm trying not to post my thoughts on Facebook or YouTube so much

    I feel for you regarding your strong feeling to express yourself on Facebook. I have never had that feeling. So, in that regard I guess I am fortunate (I think?). I never had any interest in Facebook or anything like it. I never needed Facebook to be ridiculed by others for sharing my thoughts...

    Provider education on autism

    What I have found is that I have a different umwelt than the doctors (and actually everyone else). That means that they cannot understand what I am requesting. It's not their fault. They don't have the same umwelt to be able to comprehend what I'm saying. I have trauma level sensitivities they...

    Autism or learning difficulties?

    Autism or learning difficulties? In my experience, it was a little more complicated. Of course this was in the mid to late 50's and autism was a complete unknown in my area. My school diagnosed me as retarded with an extreme learning disability. It could be said that the learning disability...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Bookworm. I liked this movie because Mildred is "different" and I easily relate to that!
