I found a series of videos where Tony Attwood answers questions regarding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I think these videos were a part of an interview conducted by the organization Spazio Asperger. The videos are split up into seven parts and they're in English with Italian subtitles. The...

One of the things that I didn't enjoy about the way other kids played with dolls was the 'naming.' They insisted that the dolls have transitory names, a name for the duration of an afternoon. Only the first two dolls I got had names. Crybaby and Lucy. I got them when I was four years old...

The fact that dolls didn't have detailed genitals didn't bother me as a child. It doesn't bother me now. The idea of playing with dolls, in my mind, didn't include sex acts. I did have a wetting doll, but not an eating or pooping doll. My wetting doll 'drank' water and the water came out her...

Having enough to eat is getting harder to manage because of climate change. More than half of all of the food producing land in the USA was in drought at the same time recently. We can expect more disruption of our normal food growing as climate change gets worse. This will be exacerbated by...

I am considering "Dolls" separately, for now, in regard to the generator titled "VooDoo Dolls." Some ideas about dolls/Part 1 I liked dolls when I was little. I didn't much like playing dolls with other kids, though. They seemed to want to do stupid things with their dolls. I didn't want to...

The 4th generator I made was titled "How to Use Your VooDoo Doll." VooDoo doesn't appeal to me. I associate it with killing chickens and casting spells. Thinking evil, mainly. The letters V.D. stand for venereal disease, aka sexually transmitted disease. When I was little I didn't get the idea...

EMO TOOLS seemed a perfectly contradictory topic to me. It was the subject of my 3rd generator. Tools are inert, non-living, unfeeling objects. Emos are emotionally over-wrought human beings, full of adolescent angst. Used together they described implements for the sensitive do-it-yourself guy...

These past few weeks have been some of the best for a few months. Mentally I have been excellent. Anxiety is at its lowest point for years having gotten my motorcycle fixed and the weather has gotten better - it's practically summer here. Depression isn't even knocking on the door, although it's...

Idioms are expressions that cannot be understood from the meanings of their separate words but convey a hidden meaning to those who use them. American English has a plethora of idioms. That makes it difficult for foreigners to learn colloquial or street talk even when they may have arrived...
