[QUOTE="fredvizsla, Diagnosed Asperger: my personal opinion is that I'm a visual thinker, which means that my perception of reality is impossible for social typicals to understand. I'm intelligent and female, so I'm a social outcast. I won the lottery![/QUOTE]

Aaw! :( you stepped on my visual savant thing, and it's the only flower :sunflower:I have to put in my cap.:cryingcat:........;)
 
[QUOTE="Progster,
As an interesting sidenote on generating genetic material, I know that under certain circumstances, some invertebrates and even female snakes and other reptiles can reproduce without the genetic imput from the male by producing genetic material to make up for the missing half (parthenogenesis).[/QUOTE]

:hearteyecat:.......:screamcat: Well now do I need to worry about putting a no Parthenogenesis clause in the Prenup?:cryingcat:

[QUOTE="Harrison54, meditation can have beneficial health effects, A new study by researchers in Wisconsin, Spain, and France reports the first evidence of specific molecular changes in the body following a period of mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness-based trainings have shown beneficial effects on inflammatory disorders in prior clinical studies and are endorsed by the American Heart Association as a preventative intervention. The new results provide a possible biological mechanism for therapeutic effects.[/QUOTE]

Okay you win this round Harrison :p I'll eat the raw broccoli think happy thoughts and listen to symphony while writing. But I'll pass for now on the cooked broccoli and sitting in the snow naked trying to levitate.;) Ohmmm... still hungry potluck was thin at church:(, but something with lovely red hair blew in.o_O
