OK. Here is somehting that has me scatchin my head.
How can a poster that has been around since Feb 2004 and have 3,734 post, have -9 rep points? That is just wierd. I know back in the day you used to be able to give negative reps but since 2004 they have not been able to get any positive points. Wierd. Just wierd. Scratchhead

She's right... it is a key! I've wondered before what it was. Vista has this great feature where you can enlarge the page you're looking at, and at 150% you can tell it's an old fashioned key.

upon closer inspection, I do believe you are right. someone trying to be sexy with an old key.....I'm pretty sure my dentist would advise against chewing on old keys, but hey! whatever turns your key.....pun intended laugh out loud

however: I like my theory of pushing in raisins with chopsticks better than key chewing.....Evil laugh out loud

btw, the Cold thing has been dead for a while for most if not all of us....ahhhh, good times....nothing like shelling out $$$ to get your laptop unfrozen when you were trying to print coupons...ahhhh, the irony... nod

negative points are only given out by the mods.

Yeah, I know it has been gone for awhile now, RIP, LOL. But I was wondering if some were still printing in Cold mode anyway just to keep the Bricks programs and whatever other coupon printer programs off their computers...

My irony is even better....shelling out $$$ to fix computer for coupons that were never printed b/c it screwed the computer up the next time I went to use it!! Needless to say, dh was muttering and cussing and trying to ban me from this site. He didn't win that one! shake head

rotflmao! I have a 9 year old boy who is mild Aspergers....you can just imagine... If he is with me I MUST go thru every aisle in Target in a certain order, I MUST buy 10 (his favorite number) of everything, etc etc, over the years it has gotten soooo much better, I can now justify to him why we dont have to have 10 of everything, and our biggest milestone (for me) was I was able to quit ironing his underwear after kindergarten! Our food still cant touch, and we like to layer clothes, and we organize everything in our room by color (and in groups of 10 lol)

If I use different q's from one trip to the next and he is with me, he notices immed. (mind is like a steel trap) and is telling the cashier..." no, no, no, she should have 10 cheese q's , she should have...etc etc.." the cashier looks at me llike I have three headsFrown
That's exactly what my son has, is Asperger's. I find it easier to just say autism when talking to strangers b/c so many people have no idea what Asperger's is, but they know autism.

My son doesn't have the number specific thing, but heaven forbid if we tried to go into Target without a lemonade and a cookie first. And if he didn't get to dance around like a fool in front of the security camera/tv at the entrance, forget it. Or, entering the store without counting all of the security cameras, pointing them out, waving and loudly asking if they're watching us and our coupons. (Thanks, dad, for planting that little nugget in his brain!shake head)

My son also has absolutely NO impulse control (part of the obsessive-compulsive disorder--what he thinks, he is compulsive about saying or doing or he panics) so by the time I leave the store everyone knows his name. Dylan, stop that. Dylan come back here. No Dylan put that down. Dylan stop pushing your sister. Dylan, do you need a time out. Dylan do you need a time out. (repeat a hundred times) No you cannot have the Lightning McQueen. No do not put it in the cart, I said you can NOT have the Lightning McQueen. No, you cannot have little debbies either. I'm sorry they're out of lemonade (watch panic and meltdown ensue) but you must choose something else. No I do not know why they didn't know to order enough. No I don't know why Lightning is here and not there. No I do not think the store smells funny. No I don't think the employee wants to play with you. Honey, I love you, and how smart you are, but can we count to 60 before your next question? Okay, that was only 30, can we count to 60 this time? (All within the space of about 10 minutes)

Oh yes, I know that feeling when the store looks at you like you have three heads.... Embarrassment

OMG!!!! I think I am in heaven. I almost cried when I read this. Someone who totally gets me. We live in a very small community, small school system, when we moved here there was not one single teacher who had even heard of Aspergers. I was dumbfounded. your phrases "panic and meltdown" hit home. I can not tell you how many times during pre k I had to go to the school to talk Seattle down for what ever reason. funny thing was, no matter how I tried to explain to people, they would be like, well, he might get a little upset, but I 'm sure we can work thru it...yeah right! Tried to tell them he will literally hyperventilate, its not an act , etc etc.....I have never been so angry at one teacher (in 1st grade) when she "forced" him to eat the food on his tray. Yeah, that was an emergency room visit and a shot of valium he was so hysterical...bitch. I must say though , that we do behavior mod for most everything (we do the counting thing too), and like when I needed to not iron his underwear anymore, I explained to him after Kindergarten that everyone was on vacation, including me, and that meant I didnt have to iron underwear. When 1st grade rolled around, I was so afraid he'd be like" ok, vacations over, you gotta iron again"!
