Have to think about vs can do automatically:
What bothers NT's but doesn't bother you
What activities/subjects are ones you just can't seem to master?

There's too much and a lot of it is difficult to know what the question

If you mean to quantify every bit of information about people, why
identify them so thoroughly? Professional surveys would never identify
individuals they'd asked such personal information about.
:-)
It where two difficult forms, this one and the code of Joel (austistic
spectrum code), and I'm not sure I filled in the Y/N questions right.
Maybe the Yesses had to be no's and vice versa, I'm not sure.
But this forms are only for fun, no stress there. If I have to fill in
official forms for the governement or for something else important, I
have definitively stress.

Not meant to be professional. Just a means to help me understand people.
Maybe I want to do numerology and astrological correspondences....
Perhaps one of your main advantages is in your lack of understanding of
people. What if you come to understand people and find yourself grossly
disappointed?

Seven because it is not eight, my favorite number
In conversation recently about the number seven and its instances (dwarves,
stars, sins, sisters, brides and brothers, samurai, etc I came up with the
seven pillars of wisdom by TE Lawrence (required reading in my family)
I wondered why it were seven and then without thinking realised I had given
the anser Lamed Resh Nun Tzaddi, though Lawrence were an arabicist and not a
hebraicist the traditions that lead to the number are the same.

The system comes from the Kabala. In a similar fashion to the way that roman
numbers were letters, the letters of the Hebrew alphabet are also numbers,
Strictly speaking my name is written Tszaddi Nun Resh Lamed because the
alphabet is written backwards, and does not have consonants. Transliterated
it is LRN(TZ) hence Laurence and the numbers are added and the sum added
until you get one single number. The numbers then have a significance like
Astrological signs.
There is Chinese numerology as well.

You might be interested in this (or you might not). It is one of my
perseverations.
The Hebrew and Greek alphabets are designed (by man or by the Creator)
on sequences of 7 (and other numbers). There are other curious patterns
to be found: the five finals of the Hebrew alphabet (kaph, mem, nun, pe
and tsade) seem to tell the story of the deluge - not that of Noah, nor
Utnapishtim, but that of the Hindu sage, Manu, saved by the Fish avatar
of the preserver god, Vishnu (the 'Navigator').
The central letter of these 5 finals is 'nun' (fish), the letter of
Jesus.
The Greek alphabet has five different corresponding letters (upsilon,
phi, chi, psi and omega).
The central letter of these 5 corresponding Greek letters is 'chi' (X),
the letter of Christ. The centricity of this letter is strongly marked
by the apparent paired relationships of the remaining 4 letters, not
just in their sounds but in their written forms.
Even the Roman alphabet is not immune from these seductive patterns.
The seven Roman numerals, MDCLXVI, are arranged *almost* symmetrically
within the 23-letter alphabet; only L (=50, the central numeral) is out
of place. Fortuitously, there exists an early form of the letter 'P'
which is identical in form to an 'L' rotated by 180 degrees (and to
approximate its form, I shall use the ubiquitous number '7'). If this
'7' (i.e. 'P') is substituted for 'L', the seven Roman numerals are
indeed distributed symmetrically throughout the Roman alphabet:
AB [CD] EFGH [I] KL [M] NO [7] QRST [VX] YZ
Even more curiously, the Hebrew final letter 'nun' is central to the
five finals (as is the Greek equivalent 'chi'). The Hebrew
initial/medial 'nun' is the 14th letter of the 27-character Hebrew
alphabet (22 letters plus 5 final forms, used for the 3 flights of
numbers, 1-9, 10-90 and 100-900) and so is central to the (extended)
alphabet - as is the Greek 'nu'. Both 'nun' and 'nu' have the value 50
- and this is also the value of the letter 'P' (as '7', substituted for
'L'), the *central* numeral of the seven Roman letters used for
numerals.
'Nun' ('nu') means 'fish'; 'P' ('7') may stand for 'piscis' (fish).
The element with the Atomic Number 50 is tin. It is the element, or
metal, associated with Jupiter and Thursday, the day on which fishes
were created. In the heptad of heavenly bodies, Jupiter is not central;
nor in that of the days, is Thursday central: tin is the central
element in the heptad of metals.

This is a terrible, horrible, awful question. All animals are great, wonderful
and interesting.
I know the survey asked about perserverations for the past year, well my
perserveration for the past 29 years (I'm 31) is....
oh c'mon...
you know what it is...
I always talk about them....
and there are NO least favorites...
Yep you guessed. Animals great and small, slimey, furry or scaled, with bones
or with out.

Aren't all endoskeletal animals mostly without bones?

I'm not sure what you're asking.
Endoskeletal means the skeleton is on the inside, which
means bones. Exoskeletal means the "skeleton" is on the
outside, meaning a shell (turtles have shells but they are
still endoskeletal and have bones). Of course, there are
animals with no skeleton at all, such as slugs and worms.
But what does your question have to do with Chris's statement?
BradHAWK
I know what endosletal and exoskeletal mean. Exoskeletal animals are
mostly within bones; endoskeletal animals are mostly without bones.

No, I tink humans are interesting animals too. What strange behavior and yet so
much general animal behavior holds up for humans. Humans can be wonderful too.
O.K. maybe I wouldn't use the word great for humans, but other than that I
think humans are fun to observe.
I would rather interact with a dog, cat, or other animal though than a human
animal.

So am I. I once froze halfway up the loft-ladder when I came face to
face with a spider. I don't know how many minutes I stayed like that
but eventually I realised that it was just a spider skeleton. I was
really sweaty and shaky for ages after, though.
Luckily, my wife doesn't mind spiders. She's afraid of small
footbridges, especially over water. Even over streams that are narrow
enough to jump across and shallow enough to wade across.
Didn't a study once show that baby monkeys (or was it baby chimps?)
appeared to be hard-wired to fear snakes?

I was reading a book of Peter Vermeulen (Brein Bedriegt). He claims that
there is a group of people who are something like border-autistics.
These people behave too normal to recognise them as autistic, but they
are.
That makes sence to me, the existance of a group of people that are
somewhere between Aspergers and NT's. I know a girl who seems to have
some autistic behaviour, but she goes to party's and her profession is
teaching. She heard about my autism and asked me information about it.
She thought that she was also autistic, but after a while she changed
her mind.

I just found an online version at http://play.games.com (along with a bunch
of other classic games)... It seems to work really well, just requires a
computer capable of basic Java, I believe. (I'm using Internet Exploder for
this, since my favorite browser didn't like the site.)

thousand, out of over 200,000 orders.

Well, Bradley-wadley, my iLamp is just wonderful. I have had it running
24/7 since it was delivered, and haven't had a single system
freeze/crash. In fact the only problems I have had are with the new
version of MS Office for OS X. Amazingly, it crashes for no apparent
reason, just like its Windows cousins.
I really like the LCD screen. Yay, no flicker or hum. Now if I could
just do something about the rotten Win2000 system I have to use at
work......
I had heard that they were having a wee bit of a supply shortage. Mine
was in the first batch shipped, so I wasn't affected.
Suzanne
As opposed to crashing for a reason? Like taking a corner
too fast?

Perhaps if you take your iLamp in, your bosses will like it
so much they'll get some </wishful thinking>. You could even
load SoftWindows onto it to fool 'em.
My work "upgraded" from Win98 to Win2000. Wasn't much of an
upgrade (they don't crash as much, but they crash much harder).

Apparently only a wee bit have made it through.
I bet it lasts you a long time, though. My 1998 Powerbook
is wonderful, and even my 11 year old Mac IIfx is still
quite useful. Long useful life is yet another nice thing
about Macs. (I have some old PC's I'm going to try Unix or
Linux on one of these days.)

Well, I've crashed Macromedia Director quite a few times, and I can
usually tell when it's going to crash. It has some memory leaks (so do
I, come to think of it), and if I don't take that into account, I can
have some nasty results.
On the other hand, Office will just suddenly decide to shut down, often
in the process of saving a file.

My boss would be all for it. He hates Windows, but unfortunately the
materials we develop are for the distance education students, who are
mostly Windows users. The executive decision was made, in fact, not to
support Mac OS any more, because of the difficulty with testing
everything on all anticipated configurations of both platforms.
I might be able, eventually, to justify a flat screen display. One of
the supervisors has one, so there's hope.
For now, I try to do as much of my work from home as possible.

I still have my old PowerPC, which I bought about five (maybe more?)
years ago. It was still working fine, except that it was dreadfully slow
and couldn't run some of the newer software. On the other hand, the old
e-machines computer that Phillip just replaced (about 3 years old) had
been slowly failing. He got everything (he thinks) copied over to the
new computer, and now the old one won't boot up at all. Somehow, we
don't see the need to spend anything to repair it before getting rid of
it. Josh will get my old Mac when he is a little older. In the meantime,

By definition. Probably from the Greek _edrakon_ , aorist of
_derkesthai_ "to see clearly".

Yep, it was intentional -- I like giving amusing nicknames to things. I
think it started when I was frustrated with programs crashing in Windows 95,
since regardless of what I used, something seemed to go wrong. Renaming
everything for fun seemed to be the best way to express my irritation.

Okay boys and girls, today's weekly word is "sobriquet".

I wonder more why it is that some disorganized/hectic people *without* PDAs
refuse to touch them even when it's blatantly obvious that one would help.
(Let alone why they sneer at me for "being reliant" considering that without
it, I was forgetting things constantly!)
I think the cost of a good PDA is easily offset by how many ways it can get
top-quality information we'd otherwise have to pay through the nose for -- or
couldn't obtain at all. (The ePocrates drug reference alone has saved my
hiney more than once from prescription errors now, and I'm pretty sure that I
couldn't afford to get the printed version, let alone a daily-updated one!)
Because for some disorganised people a PDA wouldn't help. There's a
certain degree of organisation required to actually use a PDA, to put
the things you need, dates etc. in it and to then look at it. I know a
PDA wouldn't help me.

Scarier thought: there's a whole fetish industry based on people bloating
multiple times their original size using saline catheterization... (I
unfortunately discovered this while playing "who can find the most revolting
thing on the Web" a couple of years back with some online pals.)

Oh. Drinking what? Don't you hate the way your stomach sloshes when you have
drunk lots of water very fast.

Now, the pictures I just saw of some spider bites people experienced, would
really put you off spiders.

They do too!! I saw one that big on Gilligan's Island!
I worked with a guy who was bitten by a Brown Recluse when
he was about 12. I knew him when he was about in his 50's,
and his scar was quite apparent. His mother was a nurse,
too, and she lanced and drained it almost immediately after
he was bitten, but it was still very bad.
I like spiders, and fortunately, they seem to like me, too.
So far.

Spiders are very amazing. Each leg has 7 joints. I've had one spider bite that
was pretty bad. I have seen what the brown recluse bit can do to you. It is
ugly. There population around here is increasing a bit. My spiders like spiders
too, they are fun to kill, dismember and sometimes eat.

I was bitten by a brown recluse about 15 years ago, and the scar is
still quite visible, especially considering the fact that I don't scar
easily at all. (Example: very little scarring left 17 years after a
third degree burn which required debridement.)
I can say that the bite was a very unpleasant experience. I didn't feel
the actual bite, but the aftermath was quite memorable.

7?? I never noticed that they had so many joints.
I just looked at the one on the wall next to me but the
joints are too small for me to see, except for 3 or 4. Are
some of them near the tip ("foot")?

Next time try a little oregano, it goes great with spiders.

The must be becoming less reclusive. Perhaps they have a
support group. alt.support.reclusivespiders.

Your spiders like to kill, dismember, and eat other
spiders? What kind of spiders do you have?
