  • I feel for you. I know that dealing with the average 10 year old can be difficult.

    I keep think of Temple Grandin. The reason is because I wonder if there are any support groups that have some people with high functioning autism in them who might be able to help you to relate or help your daughter to communicate her feelings to you. I don’t know just a thought.


  • How long has she been taking these meds? Is it possible that she does not feel like herself when she takes the meds? I remember when I was taking Adderall for ADHD the symptoms improved, but I didn’t feel like the same person anymore. I wasn’t me. I eventually stopped taking it for other health reasons but when I did I felt like I was me again.

    Perhaps that is what is going on for her? Maybe this medication works great for improving interactions with her but it alienates her from herself?








  • This didn’t stop being a problem for me until I made a long term effort to only allow my keys to be in my hand, in the ignition of my car, or in my pocket. Not my coat or jacket pocket either. My pants pocket. I may not always have my jacket, but I always take my pants. Opening a door and leaving them in the lock is also not allowed. I used to do that and then leave them there all night long. No matter how inconvenient it may be at that moment, this rule is never to be broken.

    Keys are in the hand, ignition, or pocket only!

    I never let go of them unless they are going in the ignition or my pocket.

    It was hard at first and I continued to lose them for a while. But I kept at it and because I did this the pattern is now habit and my keys haven’t been lost in years.






  • You can be sure that even the Epic version will still require the Ubisoft launcher. That is how all of my Steam purchased Ubisoft games are with the exception of the first Assassin’s Creed which predated the Ubisoft launcher. All of the others require it regardless of how I bought it.

    I’m going to wait for at least two or more years after release for the new Prince of Persia. My days of paying full price for Ubisoft’s games are over and recent statements from the CEO make me reluctant to ever buy their games again.




  • MS Solitaire, Space Pinball, and Minesweeper come to mind. They were not my favorites, but I know a few people who have a few hundred hours on one or more of those.

    For me it’s C&C Generals Zero Hour. I have had a copy since it released in 2003, it still works, and I still play it in single player mode at least once a week. It’s great because it does not require a huge time commitment and campaign missions take about an hour or less to complete. To me it’s one of the best RTS style games out there. My second favorite? C&C Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge.

    I have also very much enjoyed the Assassin’s Creed series up to AC Odyssey.



  • They are not really all that new. The research for mRNA vaccines began over 50 years ago.

    mRNA vaccines are among the safest vaccines ever made. There is nothing in an mRNA vaccine that can make you sick. What they are is instructions for your immune system on how to recognize certain viruses when it sees them. You can literally email the mRNA sequence to a different lab and, provided they have the right equipment, they can make the vaccine without ever needing a sample of the virus.

    The mild symptoms some people get is the immune system activating and building the viral antigens specified by the mRNA vaccine, but there is no danger of getting Covid-19 or any other disease from the Covid-19 vaccine.
