    Savvy & FC: With Eurovision I am one of those people that keeps recalculating when countries have no mathematical possibility of winning :o

    Emerald: Hope you had a lovely birthday :dance:

    Nenen: Hope you're feeling massively better.

    Hugs to those that need them and a dram o' whiskey to those still awake :D

    Reminds me of the old question: does poison get more or less deadly if it's out of date? :D

    :rotfl: Were you boring farts while they were gone ;):p

    There was nothing boring when savvy innocently started 'Vagina Gate' around 9 days ago. Must go down as most hilarious and quick witted night shift ever.
    Poor FC I dont think she will bother announcing a dr appointment again:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi there, I'm just popping in (into the middle of which I know not, as I'm posting this whilst on the first page), popping in as I've just been Googling around (danger Savvy, danger:D:eek::rotfl:) and, not related to money-saving, but I thought I'd share with you something that has just made me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    I'd just Googled "living with Aspergers" - why I know not why(!) - and come across this - http://books.google.co.uk/books?hl=en&lr=&id=HoRX8s8V8WYC&oi=fnd&pg=PA184&dq=living+with+asperger&ots=tl5OWSBB1v&sig=fQRF4dqYjjbaOOQ9KBK8JK3p_Xc#v=onepage&q=living%20with%20asperger&f=false

    It's the bottom of page 159 of the book, which is where it says "Examples of facts memorised by people with Asperger syndrome include carrot varieties:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:[my roll-arounds], rose varieties, boxing records, heights of tallest buildings, dates of historical events, the Dewey Decimal Classification (this one's just made me go :rotfl::rotfl: - and hey it's doing it again now:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - but why not? Actually I think I probably could go into a library and find books using that from nearly memory - it's sort of one of the things that sticks in the mind doesn't it? - correction, sticks in my mind, numbers of book classifications, you (in other words, I:D) just remember them when seeing them don't you, you don't need to think, they're just there, how can you ever forget?), names of jockeys, bus routes [yes we all did that one], addresses of courts[:rotfl:] and the livery of Great Western Trains [why not?:rotfl:]."

    Absolutely fascinating:D. The carrot varieties in particular: you know what; I might take that one up!:rotfl::rotfl:

    I was always* called a "mind full of useless information" at school:D, though to me, all information has its uses in the right contexts (haha), so who's to say whether it is "useless" or not? To my way of thinking, it was a mind of useful information, or information you never know when it might come in use.

    Served me well. Right, I'm off to study carrot variants now:rotfl::rotfl:(:j:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:). Anyway, I'm going: I don't like this thread as it's not an "interesting" thread anymore. However, it is an 11+ thread and I very much like that:T:T.

    *Not literally of course;).

    And why not?!?:rotfl::rotfl:
    Yes, nice timing into the thread again Savvy!:D:rotfl:

    Vagina Gate:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Quick-witted - woah, me?!?:huh::T:T:T

    Boy, little do people sometimes know - about how unable to be quick-witted in any sense and indeed significant and severe impairment in any real ability to think on my feet that I have:(. I just hardly ever can do that:(:(, just never seem to have a quick-witted banter response available to anything. I've probably managed it precisely once in my entire life, but everyone else in a group in RL always seems to have a quick-witted reply just there ready and available seemingly without any thought necessary to think of it. But - aha!:D - I can be 'quick-witted' when it comes to written text, in which I can communicate often much better and don't get the tongue-tiedness that sometimes or possibly half the time happens if I'm trying to say something in speech. Perhaps it happens all the time and is (literally) always present. I can never remember what I am to say and either have to read from paper or to involve myself in 'a careful thinking of what to say (in oral) and how to say it' (T. Attwood, Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome, I currently know not what page off the top of my memory) - Aspergerese.

    Must dash - carrot varieties beckoning:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    See:D:D - I'm not a boring person after all. Interesting vaginas:eek::rotfl::rotfl:. [Edit... and gosh, you think it was innocent?:eek::eek: (Tell you, folks, I knew full well what I was doing. There was certainly no innocence there - just a pretence that I was deliberately doing. Perhaps that 'pretence' (pretending) was for comic effect. Or actually no 'perhapsing'* - I know there was a certain element of comedy that I intended.)]

    FC - you can tell us about your doc's appointments, there's no embarassment, we'll all a supportive group on here.:D

    Tell you I'm thinking of making a doc's appt, as I've come off my antidepressants, as I'm getting a lot better. There you are - open and honesty. We all have things in our lives, and it's nothing to be ashamed of, so don't worry! And with me, as with everything:o, it's all always a considered decision.

    *if that's a word;)
