Is your house a mess? Is the kitchen sink full of foul-smelling
water?
Is
your grass over 6" high? Do women think you are "immature"? When was
the
last time you bathed?

So far I've just been lurking on the alt.comp. ng's to pick up info for
my
first build, but I just HAD to respond to this one!

53, owner of 4 previous businesses (2 VERY successful). Father of 4
boys
and 4 girls, 1 daughter and grandchild living with us -- house is
cleaned
several times a day but is ALWAYS a mess! And guess who usually does
the
dishes (like, 4 or 5 times a day!)?

Got no grass, and mowing the redwoods outside the house is a bit more
than
I'm up for.

The women in my life either call me "Hun", "Papa", or "Poppi Yarry".
Except, perhaps, when I'm using every single drop of hot water for my
20-min morning shower just before THEY want one, in which case more
disparaging terms may be used.

My question for you is, why would you care? Have you nothing better to
do
with your own time than to stir up s***?

Nowadays, 99% of the problems in life are people problems, and as The
Bard
said, the problems are not in our stars but in ourselves.


Wow, you sound like a very successful and accomplished fellow and it
appears
that you have a fine family. It's a shame. How old were you when you
lost your
sense of humour?

Ed

I wasn't aware anyone was joking. Apparently I've been hanging out in
moderated ng's for too long, as I'm used to some kind of signal that some
friendly ribbing is going on.
Sorry!

Check diagnostic for Asperger's Syndrome (pronounced, a-sperjers not
ass-burgers, by the way).

Whoa! Too close to home! I have A.S. myself, and I'm just rolling over this
conversation. I'm 16 years old, have been doing computer hardware since I
was 11, and I'm presently lead tech at a computer shop. All my friends think
I'm massively weird.

I don't know if mess is a good word for it. Would you call a war zone a
mess?

Is the kitchen sink full of foul-smelling water?

Heck no! The dishes displace most of the water.

Is
your grass over 6" high?

Does crabgrass count?

Do women think you are "immature"?

~Children~ think I am immature.

When was the
last time you bathed?

Ah HA! I bathe every day! It's stopping to use the bathroom that gives
me problems!

Nope, they think I'm a butch, fat, mean & viscious B. who'll never
marry.

::high five!::

I found one thing amusingly puzzling, with this thread. The large
number people, who suddenly felt this strong compulsion to state how
'normal' they are. ?? :-/

induced stupors incapable of reply ;-) Whoa Dude! Where's my keyboard???
