The article was stating that fewer people have gastroparesis than once thought. I know I have it so that really was not of interest to me. |

I did get a chest freezer this summer. I have had my fill of French onion soup for a while. Once I eat those last two it will probably be a long time before I buy it again. My freezer is quite full at the moment, mostly with food for Angela. Aside from my egg allergy I really don't have to eat special food. She does. So when we find it for a good price, we stock up on it. I also have to pack a lot of ice cream and frozen treats in there when my husband is home because no matter how much I buy it never seems to be enough. I do have a few things in that freezer. But most of the food is not mine. |

We've bought and grown Bhut Jolokias. They're many times hotter tham Habaneros. Our favorites are those skinny little Thai peppers (prik kee noo or bird peppers).

most scientist agree that we are just barely starting to understand how the
brain works we know far more about the universe then we do our own minds. once you get what autism is and the huge scale it has..it is easy to understand peoples so called "quirks".. most "smart" people clearly have it in that it is what makes them exclude outside influences and can work things out in their heads. just observing them a bit makes it clear...bill gates..Steve jobs..mark zuckerburg etc.. what we once thought a disability is likely what allowed us to go from the trees in Africa to the space station and some day beyond. KROM "Robert Miles" wrote ... I suspect that I have some of the Asperger's traits (Asperger's is on the autistic scale), just not enough to ever get diagnosed. For example, little interest in ever getting a girlfriend or getting married. However, in my case, I've found a likely cause - a problem dealing with the faster forms of spoken words. For anyone talking at typical TV actor speed or faster, without significant pauses, I seem to have problems transferring it from short-term memory to long-term memory, and therefore my memory of what they say often doesn't last longer than about 1 minute. Communicating text through a computer, such as in newsgroups, in easier, since I control the speed of how fast I absorb it. |
