    Maybe even the train. I think they're louder than a chicken rooster.

    I wanted to get some peafowl, but I learned how loud they are when I was doing my research. I decided to not be "that neighbour."

    I don't think my Godson should drive. He does not pay enough attention to the world around him for that to be safe for anyone within a 5 mile radius of him... That being said, he is making progress. He is being dragged kicking and screaming into adulthood, and he will one day be able to hold...

    They didn't know. His mom is understanding now that she did him no favours, but she doesn't have the patience to keep correcting him until he gets it right. I get frustrated too, but I understand that if I take a task away from him just because I can do it better means he'll never learn it. I...

    Thanks. My experience in teaching has been in adult education (college), so I've been teaching him that actions have consequences. I know that he doesn't get social cues. I've told him that he doesn't have to, but he does need to memorize certain rules. Those rules may be different for...

    That's the thing. His parents have known about his asperger's since he was very young. He is capable of learning habits, but they would let him do nothing but sit around watching TV, YouTube and contribute nothing because it was too much effort to teach him. Believe me, I spend a lot of time...

    He has asperger's and OCD. He is mostly lazy, though.

    My Godson doesn't even know his home address or home phone number. He's 23.

    Too many parents think that schools should teach their kids everything so they don't bother to teach them anything. I'm having a heck of a time educating my Godson who is 23. His parents think he's a genius, but he's lazy, reads at about 5th or 6th grade level and does basic math at maybe 7th...

    When my neighbour's dog killed my rooster, I was confused when she kept going on about making sure that my next one was a chicken and not a rooster. I wanted to say, "If he wasn't a chicken, what was he? He certainly wasn't a quail!"

    Me too. Unless you know me really well, you shouldn't be calling me by any pet names. If you know me really well, you also know that I don't particularly like pet names.

    I'm in the PNW too, and it's been in the 60s and raining the last two days. It's back to summer weather for the rest of the week, though. It was nice while it lasted. I'm lucky that even during the hottest summer days it still cools down at night.

    I don't have to learn how to express anal glands on a cat. Poor Scraps was feeling a bit under the weather for the last few days, or so I thought. He wasn't feeling well, but when I offered him food and water, he was quite willing to eat and drink. This morning, however, He was on my office...

    When I got my shiny new degree in computer technology, it was a bad time to find a job in tech. I had a tech recruiter (and I STILL won't work with that company) tell me, "If you don't have two years of experience, don't waste my time." I went to a standard temp agency and took any job they...

    A nice, gentle rain cooled things down today. Rain did cool things down, but I came the closest I have EVER been to a lightning strike in my life today. Then a few minutes later, I saw a straight, purple line strike the hill in front of me. Then the skies opened up and poured. I didn't last...

    His mom loves him too much. Both of my godsons have mental issues, the oldest passed away almost two years ago now at least partially because he needed help that he didn't get (OCD, hoarder, terrible, terrible diet). I'm trying to get the younger one to learn to be at least a bit self...

    Am I stupid for trying? My Godson is driving me bonkers, but I've agreed to try to teach him two days a week. He hates to think. His ambition is to have AI think for him, and was so disappointed when I told him how wrong AI is most of the time and how important it is to think instead of...

    Dumb means that they can't speak. Stupid is as stupid does, in the wise words of Mrs. Gump.
