The Flu photos are great! I'm reading a book about the 1918 pandemic.

What book is that?

I agree with you on the weather thing. Yesterday I wore a t shirt. Today looks like I'm going to wear a sweater.

Brr!

The contract-for-deed article was fascinating (and infuriating), thanks.

I don't know what you mean about the weather - ours is delightful! ;-)

[conuly]

Lucky for you :(

It got down to the mid 20s last night, but it'll be back to the 60s to 70s for highs for the foreseeable future now.

Climate is what you want, weather is what you get.

Around here it's hovering in the 40s and 50s. Which is normal for April, I guess.

The weather's a mess this weekend, yup. And there was a mix up with our oil delivery last week so our tank's empty. I'm definitely not winning this month!

[conuly]

How awful :(

it's enough to drive one crazy.

[conuly]

Crazy? Did you say crazy? I went crazy once....

I was diagnosed with Asperger's at 36. Of course, I still don't have a job or a relationship and I still don't know how to deal with people who think it's not real. (And I'm female and unlike the women in that article, I wasn't better at faking it.)

[conuly]

I still don't know how to deal with people who think it's not real.

Don't deal with them. Flip 'em the bird, twice, and tell them to fuck off.

(I always figure that one of the fringe benefits of autism is that people think "poor social skills" means "bad manners, but they can't help it". Which isn't exactly the case either way, but it does mean I have no compunction about telling people where to go and what they can do with themselves when they get there.)

As usual, your links are very tasty. Why are you posting in the future? (Your entry is dated Apr. 18th, 2018 11:25 pm)
