Well I finally found out what really has made me different all these years and why I've always had severe social problems. It turn out I've got Aspergrt’d Disorder, which is Autism

Yeah, that is what they think/thought I might have; now, not so sure, maybe just social anxiety or something of the sort, whatever it was Prozac seems to have fixed, or did anyway having stopped taking it 2 years ago.

I would say enjoy it, don’t let it make you feel anxious for something that you think you should have but don’t. I sometimes still wish I was a 24 year old virgin. Now I am in a crappy relationship, because I didn’t listen to every objective person that insisted otherwise, with an 18 year old you is going to give birth to my daughter in 3 to 5 days.

God bless you man, and don’t sweat the small stuff, remember the grass is always greener.

K.rist, my bro has the same thing. There's plenty of help available. Getting the diagnosis is the hard part, as evidenced by the 25 years it has taken your doctors.

I can really see how it must be a relief, and maybe difficult to accept at the same time since you're getting a kind of label put on you. Most importantly though, has to be that now you should have a better idea on how to deal with things in the future. Good luck!

Well I finally found out what really has made me different all these years and why I've always had severe social problems. It turn out I've got Aspergrt’d Disorder, which is Autism. Finding out was bitter sweet, it was sort of a shock when I was told I was Autistic and didn't believe it because of is the stereotype of Autism. At the same time it was like relief. Oh well now I have an excuse as to why I'm a 25 yearold virign whos never had a girlfriend and who hasn't had a friend since 1996

Thanks guys, but I haven't spent much time in front of the computer today. There is slight aching in the groin are, but nothing I'd consider taking Tylonol for. Other than that, I'm really slooow not feeling motivated to do anything. not even hungry for dinner although I ate a good full lunch.

So, had the vasectomy and are spening my time in front of Star Trek TNG with an ice pack. Everything went fine and all I can complain about is almost falling asleep.

Seriously - get away from the pc and rest.
You must be on some good drugs with that kind of typing! heheheheh

Hope you are feeling better.

Wife felt fine this morning in spite of not having taken any painkiller. Now in the afternoon she's feeling some pain but still not enough for her to take either Vicodini or Motrin. Instead, she made pillow and poured uncooked rice into it (supposed to be whole wheat). Put it in the micro for a couple of minutes and it's a wonderful thing to place on top of your cramping stomach. Not much visible that she actually had surgery yesterday: no remnants at the navel and just a small scar exactly where the old cesarean-scar is anyway.
Seems both our procedures went really smooth so far.

notice there is a bell in the garage and it is hooked up to a telephone

Odd... must've been done awhile ago. You can buy a device that'll do that, plus flash a strobe light, for an exceedingly cheap cost at a home store or Radio Shack, and they've been available for >10 years.

Anyway, I'd guess bad wiring and not a timer, but you'd have to test it a few times.

Err…anyway….turn it off and walk away.

NOTE TO SELF:

It is NOT OK to celebrate no pants day at work.

Side note:
True story - so we bought the house and we were hanging out in the garage the other night drinking some beers and bullshitting. Well, earlier in the evening I had replaced some light bulbs in the garage - 2 were burnt out.
So we are standing around and notice there is a bell in the garage and it is hooked up to a telephone. Obviously there is no phone service, and we aren't going to get it, but I can only assume it was a workshop, so the bell needed to be there.
Well, there is a toggle, I can only assume to turn the bell off when he is in the house so it doesn't bother the neighbors. Well, we left the toggle on, thinking, hay, no big deal. Three hours later, at 10:42 CST, the bell starts. WTF!? No phone service, nothing, why the hell is the bell ringing NON STOP!?

Few things it could be, but please help me out here:
1. Bad wiring. The wire tot he bell is spliced off of one of the lightbulb boxes with a converter (probably not the right wording, but it is spliced off of the bulb's unit). Maybe it overheated and starting ringing the bell.

2. There is some sort of trigger that if you leave the garage lights on for X hours and minutes, the bell starts to tell you to shut the lights off, you have been in the garage too long.

3. The guy that owned the house previously built the garage years ago, and maybe he died there at 10:42 CST and he is haunting my garage.

I hope it is #1.

We are not talking about spelling the word "wrong"

like a spelling bee, but the joke really falls flat when you have to explain it....

Damn. Sometimes reading the newest posts first really fuck up your mind. I was very lost for a while as I had to scroll backwards and figure out what the hell was going on.
But I am NOT going to that crazy Ray Marden list view crap to force me to read everything!!

Death to LIST VIEW!

*cough* you/you're, we/we're, you/your/you're, etc. At least I wasn't the first to point out the errors and such - or to start this weird thread.
