I’m autistic and ADHD and I was very particular about clothes and remember all of the sensations noted above. Socks hurt because of the seams that line up with where your toenails meet your toes. Starchy tags feel like insects with heavy, pointy feet moving around on your nape or lower back. Any bulky or restrictive…

GO TEAM!!! Proud of us.

KIISSELI, I AM HERE TO REPORT BACK, MY LONG FRIEND.

After living with your ex for a year, you do not deserve any more of that uncomfortable-in-your-own-space nonsense!!!

I had a roommate from Nelson and this made me snort laugh (at the town and its inhabitants, not the drug-addled puppers).

Good for you! I am nearly certain that I lack the ovaries to listen to my instincts like that. Even if the dude was benign, you still dodged the bullet of feeling those itchy heebie jeebies in your own home on a regular basis.

I’m Canadian and my province in particular provides pretty great care. I am not sure what the differences are between the UK’s system and Canada’s system but I’ve gathered an impression that the UK’s system is significantly more stressed than ours, at least lately.

I agree but I’m ‘one of those people’. I have a bachelor’s of economics (5+ years ago) and am in the process of my master’s but I’ve not yet worked in my field, though I have worked in corporate, government, and higher education environments. I’m discounted in economic, socioeconomic, and political conversations until…

That’s no way to speak about your mother’s choices.

That should be criminal. I was hospitalized for a shattered wrist and the stay was drawn out to three or four days because my surgery was being triaged and more dire cases kept arriving. I had a cute little private room the entire time with a tv, lots of channels, a bookcase full of books, comfy bedding, and access to…

Enjoy your delusional fabricated superiority complex!

I am so sorry for your community’s loss. I wish I had more to say because I really want to just outpour sympathies but I’m at a loss. Thinking of you guys. I’ll think of Mujey whenever I have the chance to affect related change.

I feel you on that. I’m a fiercely monogamous person - seriously, like an imprinted water foul - and it just does not compute for me how some others are incredulous about the reality of monogamy.

GOODY. My boss met me at a meeting and hired me via phone from 650 km away to help manage a new research centre and work on my (free) MSc while I was at it. Cool. Within 15 months I was MANAGING the research centre’s administration, operations, and marketing, including yearly multi-venue, 250+ attendee symposia, with…

I think high alert would be hella hard for the first ‘while’ but would become a way of life fairly quickly thereafter. My beau and I had a psychotic downstairs neighbour and became super quiet to head off confrontations with her within months to the extent that friends and family noticed that our behaviours were…

How was BIWHM? I haven’t heard anything about it and now I am intrigued! Feel free to tell me to GFTO and Google it. I’d love to hear the opinion of a movie aficionado though ;)

I bought a discounted button-up top in May of 2016 when I was told by my superiors that my 25-year-old figure was distracting when it was clothed in the same garb as LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE in the office/lab. There’s irony or something in there but I’m too burnt out to find it. I’d repurpose the top to like... any…

I actually love flying and so I don’t take it for that purpose, though my beau does. I get him to pop one as soon as we’re plopped down at the gate because takeoff is his big problem and drugs hit him quickly (15-20 min whereas I take 30-45 min and require higher doses than he). If you’re squicked out by security, pop…

Ativan.

Thank you! This is excellent news for the theory haha
