    What's your Karaoke song?

    I have done it a few times. The best I have done was "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue. In the crowded room I actually got thunderous cheering an applause while the majority of the liquored tone deaf renegades just get ignored after their song. Also compliments from the DJ (if thats what you call...

    Higher empathy for animals?

    I would say I have a very high empathy level for animals. Animals are innocent. People are not, people have free will. People have motives. Sometimes people just deserve what's coming to them based on their actions. I read today about a bird species that went extinct in Hawaii in the 1980s I...

    Benefits of having Asperger's

    I will echo much of what has been said. For myself personally Pros -above average intelligence -increased spacial awareness -above average mechanical comprehension -superior critical thought, to step outside the situation and look in logically and rationally. This can also be a con as it leads...

    Birdies

    I am a bit of a funny one on this. I love birds, but don't have enough interest or time to learn a lot about the many varieties of them, or actively go bird watcing, or "birding" I think they call it these days. I would say I like to learn a bit about them as a passing interest, and love them...

    Am I losing her

    I second this post. Now, I am no authority on what it takes to make a great relationship. However I feel I am thoroughly experienced in what DOESN'T work. ;) You are friend zoned. This is a decaying situation that will fade to nothing if left on the current course. You said you are not in a...

    The Way We See Low Functioning is Wrong!

    I once encountered a teenage boy who I assumed to be low functioning in an alley. Though he couldn't speak or communicate, he didn't strike me as unintelligent. I was leaving a job in my service truck and starting to drive away. This boy was in a wheel chair pushing himself along, and had a...

    This winter!

    As another in Western Canada I too have had more than my fair share of winter. I have a service truck for my technician job. I am tired of freezing every time I even have to go and get tools or supplies from it. I won't bother putting on a heavy jacket most of the time when I am just grabbing...

    Experience with some Mormon missionaries.

    Lots of interesting opinions. That's why I started this I do realize there is scandals and everything else. Their upper levels must have to contend with the reality that the whole thing started as a fraud. It is interesting how die hard serious they take it. I guess when it's drilled into a...

    Experience with some Mormon missionaries.

    I'll try to keep the back story part of this short. I tend to get into too many details and make things unnecessarily long, and those details won't be important here. On the job I encountered a beautiful young Mormon lady who wanted me to come see her in a choir performance another day. Which I...

    No Community for Atheists

    Where about in the world do you live? If I can assume somewhere in the "Western World," I believe atheists to be the majority, save for maybe the South-Eastern USA. I can't imagine having a hard time finding atheists.

    All I do is work

    You might be surprised. Did you know you can hire long distance assistants in places like India to do the menial parts of your job for you, very cheaply? The author goes into many details covering both employees and self employed people. It might be worth a read. As I said I am fairly removed...

    All I do is work

    Man I feel a lot of what you are saying. I know what it is like to have a 16 year old grasp of things like relationships much later in life (32 in my case). I seems kind of profound to read about work the way you put it. "That's a all job is when you break it down - someone pays you to solve a...

    Problems finding a date

    I does show you are interested. To make it seem less formulated, try to add something goofy and humorous to it. If it happens to be really cheesy, you can even point out that fact. How about. "I noticed your picture of a dog and it reminded me of mine. I have a border collie that plays ball...

    Problems finding a date

    It is not the natural biological way of things for the women to make the first move. It may be off putting at first but it is something you will have to come peace with and accept as "just the way things work." Think to high school if a girl likes a boy. She will not make any more about it. She...

    Problems finding a date

    That might be a reference to my experiment. The results were quite grim. To the OP: 4 responses out about about 40 read is a 10% reply rate. That is about par for the course I would say. I also use match.com. I think it is better than plenty of fish as the fact that you have to pay for it...
