I just took a look at my Site Meter account … and saw something that really cracked me up. I had to share it …

Five Reasons to Avoid Eating Beans for Breakfast

*LOL* Oh my! I wonder if they took my advice to heart … >;-)

I want to thank Brad Gray for sending me this. :-)

Now if I can just stop laughing long enough to get it posted …

HONORABLE MENTION:

RUNNER UP:

AND THE WINNER:

As winter wears on, I can’t help but think of summer … spring … green growing things … warmth … flowers … fresh tomatoes from the vine … blueberries fresh off the bush … lily of the valley, just outside my bedroom window, mixed in among the violets …

This is the longest time of year … that span between the holidays and spring. It’s an endless stretch of stark grays and browns … interspersed with patches of cold, frigid white. Absent are the reds, golds, blues and greens of spring and summer … the pristine whites of blackberry blossoms, the evocative red of tiny rosebuds, unfurling their virginal petals to absorb their first taste of sunlight.

This is the long cold empy, when life seems to be on hold, waiting for the sun, warmth and green to make itself felt again - signaling an end to the long bleak, desolate, gray interval.

But what would daisies and apple blossoms be, if I could touch them whenever I felt a need?

What would the feeling of sunlight on my chilled back be, if I never felt the chill of white winter-death running its cold, blue finger along my spine?

What would the smell of lilacs be … if it permeated my winter doldrums … ?

Each of those is special, sought after, dreamed of, hoped for, yearned for … because of their very absense. If they were always there … then in my humanity, I would take them for granted. How sad. Why is it that we only appreciate something once it’s gone?

Still eeking what usefulness I can out of this poor little lap top. I’ll be one happy camper when the new one comes in. The thought of having to reinstall my programs all over again though … ah well … it will be worth it!

This evening, I did a search on Asperger Syndrome, trying to find local professionals who deal with it. I have a feeling that it’s not going to be very easy to do. While there are plenty of programs and professionals who deal with Autism, especially in children, there aren’t many who deal with the other Autistic Spectrum disorders - especially not in adults … and even more especially, not with the problems which arise in families from the long term of trying to cope with an undiagnosed disorder which is as affective as Asperger’s.

Apparently, the non-AS people in a family with undiagnosed AS victims develop some pretty interesting problems of their own … called the Cassandra Affective Disorder … (I call it a survival defense mechanism!) The UK and Australia have support systems for such Asperger families … the US seems to be a bit behind.

If any of my readers have any advice for me - where to call, where to make enquiries, I would be eternally grateful. Really. At the moment, our entire arsenal includes whatever web sites we’ve found through Google, and two books: “An Asperger Marriage” and “The Other Half of the Asperger Syndrome” … and a lot of discussions among ourselves. Steep learning curve! 0.o
