Darned if I know Des. I think RSS has something to do with that online service in which they let you know (somehow) that there are additions or changes to a website/webpage. I just set my preferences so that I get an e-mail when someone replies to one of my forum entries. I check the blogs enough that I don't worry about needing a notice. As for trackbacks, I have no idea. Neither do I for Lock, but I suspect it just means that nobody can add any more comments, sort of like locking down a thread if hostilities arise.

No Des. He's just proving that the inane DO visit here.
-
You know Des, I don't think that there is anything inane about any of our lives. The inane don't come to AD, and they certainly don't make blogs. You can distract yourself even in the written rain is worse than ever, but I hear it going to be tax deadline time in just a few more weeks, but maybe it is different in dolphins and killer whales are mortal enemies, yet they both have been know to rescue capsized mariners.

You're mightily welcome Des. I assure you, these blogs are read, and yours will be of interest to lots of us regulars. I think it is important to be yourself here, as stories may show us as we are, to some degree, but unvarnished truth is much deeper. It doesn't have to be anything private, as you can write anything you want, but for me, it seems to need something of myself that I need to reveal, share. I have enough problems communicating with people that I find the written word much easier to use when sharing my inner turmoil than the spoken word. That, I cannot do at all well, as I choke, cry, get tongue tied, and generally distract myself from my own discussion.

Des, I simply cannot imagine YOU, of all people, boring anyone. Of course I mean 'boring' in the sense of 'non entertainment' and not in the other way. I'm sure you can bore and drill with the best of them. Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink, Say no more.

"A couple girls, a couple guys. Just going to take 'em back with me." Friggin' hilarious. She probably almost died of fright, thinking she'd have to take immediate action.

Don't get trapped into believing you need to fight for rights. Just live the rights. I'm not very familiar with the Black Rights movement in the USA, but wasn't there a lady who refused to sit at the back of the bus? She didn't fight, clamor, scream, and shout, she just lived her right. When others visit upon you THEIR demands, then stand up for your rights, but don't take the fight to them, unless you really are prepared to be a front-line soldier. Awareness is brought about by the fight, but it also polarizes sides even more. Change is brought about by simply doing, making it clear that you've already got those rights. (Obviously if there are legal changes needed, that needs to be fought, but on a political level.)

My God Jason. (lack of punctuation deliberate) You have managed to let me get rocks of with your description of buying a suit ensemble.
-
You had me laughing my guts out on that one! I can so relate. Believe it or not, I bought and used my very first 'sports jacket' at age 57. I had to use a suit once, at a technical college, but that's it. If I had a funeral to go to, I'd be wearing beige cords. My most decent clothes was official uniforms we had to wear at work, but I don't count that, cause I didn't buy it and they paid me money to wear that. Outside of that, I've 'done my own thing' and never paid any attention to either fashion trends, or social requirements. You are lucky though. When I went to get that sports jacket, it was an old dude who measured me up, and I swear he was straight. :(

Ach Jason, I'm sorry about your eyes. Sadly, it seems rather timely a message, as for the last week I've been suffering from huge gobs of green and yellow discharge from my eyes, to the point that I have to clean the edges every 15 minutes in order to read. In the morning it's been taking me 15 minutes or more to chip the crust off my lids. I had this once before and the doctor gave me a prescription that he never told me has a 10% chance of giving you glaucoma. Needless to say, I seem to be in the lucky 10% and next week have to go for some kind of laser shit to relieve the pressure. He'll probably miss and blind me completely.
I hope you continue to improve, and if not, have another Canadian. 
Ah hell, have one regardless. -
Wow. A new job, well paying, AND no hair. Congratulations. :)
-
Well, that's not for me. I have to get a haircut every 3 weeks as it is. Not only that, but I've got weird lumps on my cranium.
-
I'm glad you're okay, as are all the others involved. It's also too bad about the music. Maybe they can be extracted by a specialist, paid for by the insurance company? I'm not ready to accept your idea that not procrastinating is what cause this to happen though. I think the fact that you procrastinated about going to the gym, something I procrastinate about all the time, is what caused this. If you hadn't procrastinated, you'd have been fine. :)
-
I hate to say this, but I read your whole blog, and I cannot understand anything but the individual words. It's like being in another dimension in which all the words mean something else. About all I got out of it was that you had a good time (I think) and that others there did too. In the end, that's probably the main thing anyway, so I guess you got your message across. :)

Excellent. Another human being who truly has compassion. Although I cannot stand the feeling of the worms wiggling, due to hyper sensitivity, I've done it when I had gloves. My favorite shocker, which, like your shocker, was perfectly logical to me, was in a rest area in central Oregon.In the urinal, one of those which go right down to the floor, was a salamander. Actually, a Pacific pink newt. It couldn't get out, no way, no how, and guys were just pissing on it. Well, I flushed it, then reached right in with my bare hand and escorted it to safety outside in some thick bushes. Then I came back in and finished my business. The shocked looks on guys' faces was a puzzle to me. I only did what is 'right'.

And that's one more reason not to drink, next door to your place of business.

Juses Crhist. I take it back. You DON'T have AS in any way, shape, or form. ANY of the early mentioned things like nipple attacks would be enough to boil me over, and the attack with the lighter would have, right there, instantly, been rebutted with something so severe I'd have been in jail before it got as far as the fork incident. I can't believe (well, I can, but I can't comprehend) that you could have a beer with them and be fine with it. I couldn't work there, and I'd be raising shit: assault charges, labor relations charges for the boss not intervening, etc. In fact, I'm so fucking agitated I can barely type this, and it didn't even happen to me.

Don't worry Camy. Jason isn't going to label himself, and honestly, I do it for myself because it actually releases me rather constrains me. Imagine being uptight, shy, and unsocial. Then imagine learning you have a syndrome that causes this. Now you can fight back. It's not YOU that's uptight, shy and unsocial, it's that stupid syndrome, and I'm not going to put up with it any more. I actually do more, now that I've taken on this label, than I even did before. If I fail, I can blame the syndrome, and if I succeed, I've beaten it or gotten around a particular challenge. Labels CAN be restricting, if you make them so, but I refuse to do it that way, so it let's me grow. If you do whatever it takes to grow as a person, it doesn't matter how you've achieved that. That's my theory and i'm sticking to it.
-
Jason, you don't need Susan. You need to see that you may just have a serious case of Aspergers Syndrome. NOTHING is going to change that. There are inconsiderate assholes out that trying to screw up our simple lives with their idiotic behavior, and you have nothing to apologize for, much less worry about. In fact, you may have more restraint that I, as I'd probably have actually called animal control. Not that I dislike dogs and such, I like them, but the behavior of those people deserves SOME reaction.One day, if I think of it, I'll have to tell you what I did at the local KFC.

Okay. Now that's damned erotic. Nude greetings to 2007, probably with your own roman candle, huh? Gonna have some 'fireworks'? Regarding Wal-Mart, there have been several attempts to get mega stores in this area, but they have failed. They have these dinky little Wal-Marts that are not any bigger than the Woolworth stores they bought out years ago, and the restrictions that have been put in their way, for a decade or more, have not allowed them to expand one little bit. At this point, in one town about 30 minutes drive away, it is estimated they have spent over $1M just trying to get permission to purchase land, and been denied (zoning bylaws). I think it's quite funny really. They think they're so hot, but they can't truly win if the whole community beats them back. I don't think we're quite so much into admiration of the almighty dollar here in Canada, because I've heard this type of fight (and Wal-Mart loss) has happened in quite a few towns and even cities.

You sound almost Canajum, eh. Eh, eh, everywhere. Congrats. Well done!!!
-
That bit of blog was an interesting bit of insight/introspection.
I promise not to try to meet you in SFCA. BTW, I used to work in the Post Office and people actually address letters that way: SFCA or KCMO or NOLA. It might be okay within the States, but dammit, not when you're mailing internationally. -
Awesome. May tomorrow top today!

Cool. Welcome to AD blogs. Some of us post more than others, but I think there are lots more readers here than bloggers. Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you continue to improve, and if not, have another Canadian. 
Ah hell, have one regardless.

Oh, by the way, learning curves can be fun, if they are on the right body. :D
