HI sharla,
It does sound like you guys will bump into each other again.
Yes I do believe in fate of sorts.
curious we watched fire proof last week and I recommended it to my girl friend last night.
not very good acting but excellant story.
thanks for mentioning it.

Hello,

Sherla,
That's great that you see yourself getting better. That's amazing actually.

I work with a few people who have Aspergers-type traits. (Yes, that is my official diagnosis and I am sticking to it )
And truthfully, they are the good ones to work with. They are not the ones making life hard for the rest of us. Whoops! Now I am getting side tracked. My point was going to be that I work better if I expect people to each bring different talents and different weaknesses to the work place. Work wouldn't run very well if everyone had the same talents and weaknesses. We'd have to outsource to some other group to cover our deficiencies.

I'm surprised that you people posting here see movies.
I have not gone to a theater in years and years because it was unpleasant / traumatic. At home when I watch I have a tiny tv and I watch in closed captions. I turn down the volume to almost nothing and read the show. The small screen and low volume do not overwhelm me. Even so, if the scene is intense, I cover with my hands or change channels.

As I write this, I remember that my darling hubbyh as not set up the new 23 inch HDTV. I don't get it. (I WANT MY HDTV!) Maybe I'll try to set it up without him. Or stop watching tv altogether.


Beth,
It sounds like you are surrounded by flowers. What is especially cool is that they seem to take turns blooming for you so that some one is always peaking. That's beautiful.
Are you really supposed to paint pesticide on individual blades of grass? Or do you spray and try to catch every blade?
I know nothing about lawns.

If I had one and had it in me I would do something as natural as possible like Xeriscape ( http://landscaping.about.com/cs/chea...eriscaping.htm ). My mother is active in her county Master Gardeners groups. They teach each other about plants. (I guess I don't pay attention when she talks if that is all I remember from myphone calls. ) Anyway, she likes working in the dirt to get things to grow.
She and my dad pulled up the grass in the back yard and planted a good sized vegetable garden. I think that much of the year at least something is growing and ready to be eaten. They live in a similiar climate to you.


Waves,
I know that dealing with papers is a bugaboo for you because I have a reaction that is similar to yours. What you describe is magnified of course because you are looking at a job possibility.
The job you describe sounds interesting and exactly in the area of your talents. I hope that you hear good news from them soon.

Cool about your writing a dialogue to use in therapy.
I'm not sure if it would work for me if it involved extra work beyond having to show up for therapy. But then, anything that enriches therapy would be worthwhile once I got over the resistance to it I suppose.

I'm low energy tonight.
I stayed up almost all last night putting off something important that I had to do. I got around to it close to sunrise. I knew better because I had to get up and go to work -- and yet I stayed up and paid the consequences by feeling grouchy all day.
I'm really grouchy tonight at the idea of two (2) freaking meetings tomorrow. . . . Two meetings -- neither of which is useful and both of which are two early in the day.
I have to get myself to bed.

My sis had some unpleasant excitement at her h.s. Friday when one of her students told her that he had a gun and was going to use it. She reported, the school went on "lock down," (doors locked, lights out, students sit on floor against the wall in case someone tries to shoot through the door window . . . ) Then the cops came, took her statement, and took the kid off to alternative school (yes, that's its name) for a month-plus. She feels that she, admin, and cops handled the situation right. Some of the other teachers, however, . . . not so nice about it. That's ok. She did her job.
I talked to her again tonight and she sounds ok.

I'm going to bed.
I wish I liked bed.
It's great to talk to you all.
Get well. Feel good.


I think that I am going to take a break from the board.
I'm grouchy right now.
I'll be back in a few days or a week.
