Yes, I have to follow specific dietary restrictions for 4-5 days before hand, but that is because I have health issues that require it.

Yes. I went down earlier this week. It took everything I had to call my husband and ask him to come home after lunch. I was fine the next day. Last night my husband was making dinner when it hit. He went to bed early, called off of work today, and had a virtual appointment. I took him to test for RSV, covid, and flu A and B. All negative. He spent the rest of the day in bed. I am not sure he will go to work tomorrow.

Plot twist: I showed my husband my drawing and mentioned that I couldn't figure out how it is still there. Turns out he has been putting bricks/small rocks in front of the wheels. In my disgust at the item I didn't pay attention. I had been working under the assumption that he heard my plotting and understood that it wasn't a harmless rant, but an actual plot to rid the world of the thing. The marriage survived. I will be paying closer attention to it and the weather in the future to ensure that it is not obstructed when it is windy. I will be texting the offspring and making sure they know no one is to mess with the thing, including cleaning and helping keep it safe. This will probably be interpreted as "protect the thing at all costs" because that is how things seem to work here.

Ok so I spent time this evening working on a sketch of the item (the brown thing) and where I have put it in an attempt to catch maximum wind. Yes, I added wheels. I was not accepted to art school.

I will attempt a sketch later

Soo someone bought something that goes outside. Its so ugly I tried to get a picture but my camera broke. I grimaced and placed it outside in an area that is windy and blows everything I want to keep off our property, through the neighborhood, out to the highway and a few states away. Yesterday, for example, I spent more time than I care to admit chasing a wanted item down that wasn't directly in that area and still got caught up. I am beyond frustrated that this thing hasn't moved even an inch and I miss the days before cameras everywhere, I would play the part of the wind and help it along, with a baseball bat, or an ax I reclaimed from a teen bedroom.

This is everyone here. We prefer backpacks. I am not sure we have any suitcases to compare with though.

They never wanted him in the trailer on the property or currently don't want him in the trailer on the property. I am trying to understand the timeline better, thanks

It is baffling that they would expect someone to live without running water and sewage.

Ok I find this baffling. What do I believe would work? Well, I think we need a time machine to go back in time at least 30 years, then we get there we need a miracle to get funding for quality programs for autistic adults that ensure no waiting lists. Then we need another miracle for funding for treatment programs specifically for autistic adults with addiction. These need to be followed carefully and there needs to be ongoing studies for what works and what doesn't. We need to fund practical research that helps adults. Once we have gone back and ensured those things are done we would be able to pull from 30 years of data and would be in a better place to know what helps long-term and what doesn't.

I am baffled that the other residents are angry that someone living there without running water or sewage would need to access running water and sewage and is doing so. As above it sounds like he is a tenant and has rights. I would think that access to running water is a right.

Addiction isn't a choice. Autism isn't a choice. Services for addiction for those who don't have means are generally not the best. Services for adults with autism generally suck. Finding an addiction treatment that can meet the needs of an autistic is like finding a unicorn. I gave a lot of suggestions in the previous thread. Complaining and demanding he change without supports will not work. An ultimatum will not work. If they want to help him then they need to all be on the phone calling every local and state resource. They need to help him and make those phone calls, fill out paperwork, help him schedule and get to appointments. If they have not spent as much time calling places that could provide him help as they have calling people to gossip then they do not care about him and his well being. I will forever stand by that. He needs help. The help he needs is something that will take a lot of work by multiple people to get. They sound like a bunch of gossiping old women who care about only themselves and think that disabilities are choices. I am so glad that I am not related to them. I hope that when disability strikes them that they are met with more.compassion and tangible help than they are willing to provide.

Look for model train clubs. They work at a specific scale so you will want to find the one that is closest to your scale. While they may have a bit more emphasis on the trains, the terrain, buildings, and all the other details play a huge part.

I have moved so much dirt. I am not sure if the planters will ever be filled.

I had had at least one in CC since 2018. There has been a huge shift since the pandemic. I cannot day it was the pandemic as much as I can say it was that the pandemic seemed to have been the proverbial straw the broke the camel's back. The ones who started in 2018 had some of the best teachers I could have asked for. They got so much from the instruction, built relationships, and had a great experience in every way. By comparison, this year was a class that only met a few times, the teacher couldn't answer content related questions and suggested Google. Despite upwards of 12 hours a day trying to figure out and learn the content they got a B because they bombed the final essay that wasn't really related to the subject matter they were trying to learn. Had the class been better organized they would have aced the essay, the essasy would be in their ability. Due to the extreme stress and anxiety that came from having to not only self teach college level material, they didn't have the time or resources to put in towards the essay. Went something like this: This is a class. Google to learn the content. Your final is an essay. The amount of self teaching required was beyond acceptable. The final essay didn't reflect the content of the course or what was expected to be learned from the course description.
