Que?

This is about a phone booth not a closet and probably a bit out of context here, but has anyone ever gone up to a stranger and asked where they got their shoes from? Every time I do I find they bought them in another country. I accosted a lady of Oriental persuasion in a phone booth once as she had the most wonderful black suede ankle boots on only to find she bought them in Hong Kong. Reading this back I think I really do have a problem LOL I sound like a maniac

Thankyou all for your input.

We have communicated via text. It seems that it is me, that I have greatly misunderstood things. That he is still my friend always has been always will be and I shouldn't have needed to ask. He says that I send too many texts and require immediate answers, and if I don't get a reply within the hour go nuts. Not quite what I really sent them for.

He was so devastated when his GF left him and he said he felt so lonely that I kept texting to let him know that he wasn't alone. At that time he said that he appreciated them as he at least knew there was life outside his work. So typical woman took this for the go ahead to keep plying him with texts to keep him sane and happy (something I couldn't really afford at this time to be honest but friends are more important). I have to say since our last meeting my texts were a bit intense, or in his words unfathomable, but that is because I have been so confused. I told him that I have obviously misunderstood and apologised which he accepted.

Here is a joke/poem received today which is pretty apt:

The creation of man/woman

First the Lord made man in the Garden of Eden.

Then he said to himself, "There's something he's needing' ".

After casting about for a suitable pearl,

He kept messing around and created a girl.

Two beautiful legs, so long and so slender,

Round, slim, and firm, and ever so tender.

Two lovely hips to increase his desire,

And rounded and firm to bring out the fire.

Two lovely breasts, so full and so proud,

Commanding his eyes, as he whispers aloud.

Two lovely arms, just aching to bless you,

And two loving hands, to soothe and caress you.

Soft, cascading hair hung down over her shoulder,

And two dreamy eyes, just to make him grow bolder.

Twas made for a man, just to make his heart sing.

Then he added a mouth.

Ruined the whole f*****g thing. :argue:

In conclusion guys I am none the wiser. He says that he has two personalities. His ex says that she only wanted to live with one person not two, I thought she meant his TV trait/ his femme side but now I wonder!

He is my friend and I guess that this is something I need to try to accept and get over because everything else about him is fantastic - I think I don't know about neurotypical I think I'm neurotic

Have a great weekend

Love and many many thanks again

I know what you mean here. I had to ask my brother how post photos and have had to spend hours and hours on here to find out how to do other things and I have to admit can't remember how I did the avatar thing I discovered that one by accident and determination. Hey not that I'm complaining but it would be nice to have a help desk or something for us amateurs

Were they anything like these Dr. Shoe?

Azraelle that is sad and lovely at the same time. Ditto PJ (you seem a really nice person) you can PM me too anytime. You have been a great help to me with my problem I'd like to reciprocate the favour if needed. I'm sure you will find 'another you' and then this song will have happy thoughts for you. All my love Julie xx ps I think lyricists of today were the poets of yesterday they all have meaning and coupled with music can move us in many ways

PJ thank God I thought I was going nuts. You have echoed my thoughts on the whole thing exactly. Who on earth has been paid to set this thing up and couldn't they have been a bit more flexible on the answers as I found that I couldn't relate to any of them. I would be:

Neurotypical individuals often assume that their experience of the world is either the only one, or the only correct one. I certainly do not think my way is the correct way, I am happy to admit when I am wrong and love to learn from experience. Variety is the spice of life and I am completely open to change. I do however object to people who do feel their way is the right and only way and try to change me. Have I just contradicted myself here? I know what I meant to say

NTs find it difficult to be alone. I enjoy being alone and often prefer it and quite often if I don't get quality time for myself end up quite cranky

NTs are often intolerant of seemingly minor differences in others. I generally don't notice minor diferences and if they are major then I am more interested in why they are different as I find it fascinating.

When in groups NTs are socially and behaviorally rigid, and frequently insist upon the performance of dysfunctional, destructive, and even impossible rituals as a way of maintaining group identity. I do prefer one to one confrontations as I like to listen intently to what someone has to say. Groups are frustrating as everyone seems to want to talk at once and I get distracted and fear I might miss something exciting I really don't need to identify myself either, like Laurie says I have to be me take me or leave me. As for violence I just haven't the energy or inclination.

NTs find it difficult to communicate directly, and have a much higher incidence of lying as compared to persons on the autistic spectrum.

I live to communicate with people. I find every encounter fascinating as everyone has a story to tell. My mum says I was born talking. I hate lying as I have lived with 2, but one in particular big time lyers. I will however avoid the truth eg if someone I don't want to hurt their feelings asks what I think about something they have bought I will say "if you like it that's what counts" because in a way that is true. I wouldn't want to influence a persons choice because I don't particularly like it, but then I usually tell them that anyway. I think, like PJ says as you get older (apart from the 2 that I found), you get to the point when you think it's way too much hassle, and I have a bad memory for things like that anyway.

Maybe the person who invented this is a neurodeficit

PS I have just been told by one of the doctors here that what this is in fact called is another word for an anankastic state

Also, and I know I keep plugging them (haven't got shares promise) but www.argosadditions.co.uk have quite a good colourful and cheap (cheap and cheerful!) selection, which would save on your PP, the catalogue if you pop into your nearest store, also has a few more choices than that of the site.

May you find the colour in your life that you seek

Sorry Firefox, I meant to actually delete the bottom part but forgot. I agree it does prick the conscience to pass these things on and kind of puts a negative on what otherwise makes a good point and makes you think. I just thought this was a good example and whether true or not gives us a little jolt back to basics sometimes. Do you know what amazes me with all this? That to all my emotional posts it seems that it is the men that are more forward in answering and responding. It's fantastic I really like this board the people on here (especially the men) are unique Julie xx

Have you checked out Missy's site she has a rainbow of heeled shoes?

Practice

This was sent me via email and really makes you think...... 1 - The Most Important Lesson During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. 2 - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others." Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole 3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve. In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip. 4 - Fourth Important Lesson - The Obstacle in Our Path In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition. 5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?" Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her. You see, after all, understanding and attitude are everything. Now you have 2 choices.... 1. Delete this email, or 2. Forward it to people you care about. I hope that you will choose No. 2 and remember..... "Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like nobody's watching."

Energy (are you still thinking about that corset Francis )

It's nice to have so many fanatics in one place

This is a close one, I still think you should have both

1/10 for me and that one was because it was the nearest to what I would do not what I would actually do so therefore really it should be 0/10 which makes me a full blown - what? a nut different? or 'norm' This one has lost me...... now I am confused Not one for people having an off day

Thanks guys. I felt better once I'd aired it out and by the time I went in to wipe it off you two had already posted. I guess it's just one of those things. Men go quiet and women go nuts thinking that they've done something to cause it. All the men have to do is say "It's not you I just need a breather, I'm busy" whatever, a little reassurance and we'd be fine. This seems to keep happening with us. I know it pisses him off. I guess I just don't understand and the lack of communicating this doesn't help. They say that the small things that annoy you at the beginning of a relationship are the things that grow into resentment later on and from past experience (albeit not that much really) seems to be true. Trouble is I take people for the people they are and forget that there are a lot of people out there who simply have to have the norm otherwise it sends them into a quagmire of conflicting emotion. I guess therefore I didn't quite appreciate the life changing implications involved that you candidly pointed out girl from mars (very clever name by the way), by my over enthusiasm to speed things along with his transformation. I have heard from him. I am still confused therefore it must be me reading things wrongly I guess I need to sort myself out really and to also decide whether that silent evasiveness of his persona is something I can learn to understand and emotionally cope with Thanks again Jxx
