Mel Futrell replied to Dallas the Phallus's discussion Why are you single? in the group Atheist Singles
"I can relate to 95% of your description of Aspergers, and many of the follow-on comments. Makes me wonder if I would be diagnosed as such. Then, second thoughts find me questioning what such knowledge would do for me, anyway..."

Mel Futrell replied to Dallas the Phallus's discussion Member Survey: What languages can you speak, write, or read? in the group LINGUAPHILES & SESQUIPEDALIANS
"What languages can you speak, write, or read?
I know I'm coming late to this party, but just wanted to weigh in. A subtle amendment to your question, however: What languages can you speak, write, read, or sign?
Ah, now I can answer properly.…"

But one adapts as well as one can, hopefully without futility. But at least the Midwest doesn't have the vituperative religious stridency that we find even further south. When's graduation?
