    Taking a shower at night is just what is needed to fall asleep easily (I can't see why people would do that in the morning).

    If I do it at night, my hair will never lay right the next day. That's the only reason.

    Ever had a memento that you've kept with since you were a kid?

    I have an old tin full of such things.

    I also have a small box of such things. Including personal objects of my parents and relatives that I could recall as a small child.

    I have a ~20 gal/75 L storage bin of old stuff my parents held on to for me. Probably the most treasured is a handful of Littlest Pet Shop figurines. I loved collecting/playing with those as a kid.

    Ever had someone comment on how different your posture (as well as other habits) are?

    @Levelskid Yes. I think my posture differences were some of the first signs that made individuals start suspecting that I had Aspergers. I was originally seen as a gifted child who happened to be clumsy, uncoordinated, hyper, and resistant to certain foods. In my tweens, Asperger's started being discussed and some of my posture differences I believe were among the original signs discussed.

    Used to as a child. Gifted the huge crate of Lego I'd gathered in my childhood and gave it to an ex's son. He's 4 now and on the spectrum and loves to build.

    Yes, although for some reason I found it hard to build Lego structures so my mum did it for me and I'd just play with the little Lego men in her Lego houses

    No, but just reading about such things brings back nice childhood memories. :)

    Daylight Savings Time is here. Remember to set your clocks.;)

    I found out when I got up this morning. 🤦‍♀️

    Ruins me for months on end. Just in time for the next solstice, then it starts all over again. Hoping in vain that our state assembly passes legislation to abolish Daylight Savings Time. Which *might* finally happen.

    Always having to change 9 out of 11 clocks....:rolleyes:

    I guess it's about perspective. I love mornings. Although I used to loathe them when I had to wake up with alarms - and go to jobs I hated. But now I have a job I love, and only need to wake up to an alarm 1 day out of 7.

    Sometimes a kind word can really brightened someone's day.

    Yes. Kindness through understanding is a powerful thing. Words spoken from the heart, hold a value unmatched.

    Thunderstorms are scary...⛈️

    They can be fairly unnerving. Severe ones are definitely scary. Tornados, hail, and all.

    But a thunderstorm with just lightning, thunder, and rain is actually really cool to watch. They are very fascinating to learn about, in my opinion.

    I actually like watching thunderstorms most of the time.

    Fun fact: Night owls are more creative and are more likely to have high paying jobs than early birds (although they also have dark triad traits too).

    I feel bad for the people who have to pay for insulin (it's not cheap).

    Here the government subsidises a lot of those sorts of medicines through what they call the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. That's not some sort of scheme people have to sign up to, some medicines are just flat out subsidised for everyone. Although still an expense over time Aussies pay Au$31.60 for a pack of 5 insulin pens.

    Ever had a neighbor's dog just adore you (to the point they follow you home sometimes)?

    Yes, there was a little guy that used to go for 3 mile walks with me.
    I don't know that he adored me. I thought he was just a friendly
    little guy. And a little lonely. His people were gone all day generally.
