What could you possibly have to do in the garden today but fling mud? 
JK, I'm about to go on a long hiatus from the boards myself. Feb 20th and I go back to being productively employed, lol.

That is 10 days away. Also, you might lose your place as best debater to anyone else but Huggy. 
Any man that gets an ignore from Ryft is worthy of respect from me. The door will be open, like those old saloon doors.

Yep, fast approaching. The wife and I celebrate Anniversabirthentines Day, and then it's seed seed seed.

You obviously live in some part of the country where free water just falls from the sky. Not a lot of water lately. Disappointingly about half the weeding I've had to leave the roots because the ground is dry.
I've invited the folks from our pop up dog park in the city park behind us over for tea at 4 tomorrow. So I'm not putting on the full dog but it is a good excuse to do a little advance prep toward some events we'll have out there starting in a couple months. Maybe I'll post some pictures if I can remember to take some.
So sad about you joining the ranks of the useful again so soon. Until then:

What's your wife take on you spreading your seed far and wide? 
BoT, I've wondered if I am on the spectrum, based on online test results. I dunno if it's worth looking into at this time of my life.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Regarding the taking of drugs, I wonder how those on the spectrum here would feel about the prospect of changing their experience of the world to 'normal' if it were available.
Honestly, I don't know if I would. Something about medication itself that makes me wary about using it myself, especially if intended to treat psychological problems. To be clear, I'm ok with the way I am, despite occasional fantasies of being different. After all, this is life, and one can't have everything. And as you say, no such thing as truly normal. It's all in degrees.

That is up to you. You know the most about your life experiences. How much of an impact has this had on you in life, in case you do have autism? Dan Aykroyd has done quite well in life despite being diagnosed with autism.

Also, Temple Grandin, David Byrne, Anthony Hopkins, Susan Boyle, Paddy Considine, Daryl Hannah, Dan Harmon, Courtney Love, Matt Savage, John Elder Robison, Satoshi Tajiri, and I'm sure there's a bunch of other people who may or may not have had it, but died before they could be professionally diagnosed (Paul Dirac, Glenn Gould, and Stanley Kubrick come to mind)

Do you sometimes chuckle or giggle because Asperger's sounds like ass burgers ?
