    What do you wish your parents had done differently?

    Autism wasn't talked about when I was a kid. My parents knew I was different in not caring to have friends and very defiant in being told how to believe or dress, etc. I had a mind of my own and they respected that. They didn't try to tell me how to live or to leave home by a certain age. I...

    Being Pro-active

    @WhitewaterWoman Yes, that's one of the mermaids in the left background there. They are very pretty to watch. The same thing happened to me with the clear 60 ft water once in the Ocala Forest. I walked out onto a rock cliff and sat down above a clear spring, dangled my feet in it and noticed a...

    Poor Singing

    I always get a good taste of "today's" music on the New Year's Eve shows. Heck, I don't even know who they are. Not to step on anybody's toes that like it, but it's not for me.

    Popcorn poll.

    Pop Secret in the microwave with butter. Great for watching tv with. The movie theatres do indeed have a way of making the best popcorn. Kettle corn and cheese corn are good too.

    Being Pro-active

    That is a beautiful photo. I've seen a lot of those types of springs in Florida as @WhitewaterWoman mentioned. Here is a photo of a tourist attraction called Weeki Wachee Springs. There is a viewing area at the bottom of the spring where people dive down and put on shows in the water. Yes, that...

    What can you do with a special interest?

    Rocks and gemstones have always drawn my attention. At age three, I was out after breakfast, with a tablespoon digging in a soft dirt area of the back yard looking for rocks. This special interest has been life long. So, I've studied, collected, bought and searched. I have displays through the...

    Feeling like you're in a M. Night Shyamalan movie

    Oh, deer! There is a park not far from my house by a lake where I go to see deer all the time. The experience is pretty cool and unusual. One certain area where I can sit in the car at dusk and deer, mostly does, just appear as the sun starts to turn to dusk. It is an open area between two...

    Tell Me Your Good Sensory Stimulations

    Ambient music with nature sounds. Music is my number one positive sensory stimulation. I have it playing through the house all day and need it to fall asleep by. When using it to fall asleep it must be at just the right level. Not too loud, not too soft. I use a remote so I can get the sound...

    What If There Is No Chatter or Small Talk?

    This is typical for us. My days are spent in silence except when my house companion and I eat breakfast together and sometimes again at dinner. He watches political news programs all day and wants to talk about it. I don't. If I bring up a subject to him, it is usually something I've read on my...

    What do you do for a living?

    I'm retired but still do some cleaning and helping take care of a house for an elderly man in exchange for cheap rent for two rooms and a bath, use of kitchen facilities and access to a car. I've done a lot of varied things in my life. Pharmacist was the main one since I took medical arts in...

    SPACE IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    @Fino Your brother probably believes in the Hologram theory. That everything is like in the Matrix. So, who is running the show?

    SPACE IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love reading about the latest discoveries and looking at those beautiful photos from the Webb telescope. A team of scientists from Cardiff University found this: The team of scientists claimed to have found phosphine gas in the planet's atmosphere. This gas, primarily released by living...

    Fear of flying. It's not silly. Really.

    I've never been on a plane and never intend to. Too tight with other people, too intense with scary sensations during turbulence, too many things can go wrong which would only lead to my fear taking over and having a massive panic attack in those quarters. No thanks. I've lived 67 years...
