Answer to Do you work with what is or complain about what isn't?

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 05:29:50 -0800

Do you work with what is or complain about what isn't?

Hiya Rosie. I let my opinion be known. That is not complaining and is my responsibility to myself and my community. When it becomes clear that my battling would be a waste of my time and energy, I channel that time and energy into a new direction. Beating a dead horse is not something I am...

Answer to I've noticed in the last few minutes that I'm unable to post an answer to questions that disparage the new AB. Have you noticed this too?

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 14:45:04 -0800

I've noticed in the last few minutes that I'm unable to post an answer to questions that disparage the new AB. Have you noticed this too?

That would be stupid. Ignoring a problem does not make it go away. Can the AB admin be THAT dense? Naw. They always kept up a good raport with us. Kept us informed. Checked to see what we would like and considered how we might feel. Can't be. Can't be!

Answer to Does Owning a Gun Make You Safer?

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 11:45:35 -0800

Does Owning a Gun Make You Safer?

An armed society is a polite society. Would you flip off someone who may be carrying a gun? Maybe. But you probably wouldn't try to steal her purse, grab her shopping bag or pull her into an alley if she was prepared to blow your head off, and you would have to assume that everyone was prepared...

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:22:00 -0800

how do I add a word document to my questions, which exceeds the amount of words limit?

Like the old version. Split your words between several answers.

Answer to Why is AB risking us, many are going to leave?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:24:32 -0800

Why is AB risking us, many are going to leave?

They think they can rebound without us, and at this monent I think they are as angry with us as we are with them. They own it. We have no REAL say. But, it's the users who keep the ratings up, the sales high and the money flowing in, and if you displease the users, they can just go elsewhere and...

Answer to Have you hit the Questions Tab, Does it make you feel more at home to the old AB?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:04:06 -0800

Have you hit the Questions Tab, Does it make you feel more at home to the old AB?

And while I'm at it, having answers post in chronological order would be nice.

Answer to Have you hit the Questions Tab, Does it make you feel more at home to the old AB?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:02:51 -0800

Have you hit the Questions Tab, Does it make you feel more at home to the old AB?

What would make me feel at home again is AB staff who doesn't respond to our questions, complaints and pleas with an attitude of 'Fuck off and die at your house."

Answer to Have you hit the Questions Tab, Does it make you feel more at home to the old AB?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:00:25 -0800

Have you hit the Questions Tab, Does it make you feel more at home to the old AB?

...so I will try it again. Only in smaller bits. Does it make me feel more at home? No. what would make me feel more at home would be my friends list, my orange comment light, being able to go directly to whatever I click on, being able to type into a big enough box to actually see what I was...

I tried to answer but it deleted my entire answer as I was going back to check what I had written. This sucks.

Answer to Can you tag/flag someones question on answer bag, so that you can keep coming back to it to see what others have said (even if you ans/dont ans for that question)?

Not anymore.

Answer to Why are so many people coming on here to advertise for Flutter.com ? Are they getting compensated ?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 16:51:16 -0800

Why are so many people coming on here to advertise for Flutter.com ? Are they getting compensated ?

No. We are trying to maintain a community while we deal with this awful betrayal by AB. Fluther is more like AB than AB is anymore, so we have moved over there until, or unless, we find someplace that feels better; more like home - like AB was until today.

Answer to I have volunteered to be the unofficial AB Santa Clause. Come on, hop up on my lap and tell me...What do YOU want for Gift day?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:15:49 -0800

I have volunteered to be the unofficial AB Santa Clause. Come on, hop up on my lap and tell me...What do YOU want for Gift day?

AB has committed suicide. I am so sad. I really, really want my Answerbag back. This imposter is not fun. It requires unnecessary effort and has thrown out most of the good things. I just want to be able to feel comfortable and effective when I use a site. I used to here. But now I am neither.

Y!A is easier to use than this mess.

Answer to how many of you are thinking of giving up rather than deal with the changes?

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:48:07 -0800

how many of you are thinking of giving up rather than deal with the changes?

I am already signed up on one and looking for another...anything close to what AB was yesterday. I can't adjust to this mess. Or, I should say, I DON'T HAVE TO! Moving on with occasional check-backs to see if they finally got the message and will revert to sanity.

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:38:44 -0800

What sort of noise drives you absolutely insane?

Barking dogs. It makes me so angry. It is the only reason I have ever called the cops on my neighbors. To me, it is like a baby screaming in pain. I cannot ignore it.

Answer to When you made your “Coming Out” about your Asperger’s Syndrome, who did you tell it to, how did you elaborate on it, where and when was this, and what were the reactions from your “coming out?”

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:15:12 -0800

When you made your “Coming Out” about your Asperger’s Syndrome, who did you tell it to, how did you elaborate on it, where and when was this, and what were the reactions from your “coming out?”

I don't remember! It was kind of a slow and piecemeal dawning which was diagnosed by being told that I had Asperger's, there was no real treatment and I had already figured out how to deal with it, so to research it and ask the Doc questions if I get stuck! My family was part of the...

Answer to How would a man with Asperger's Syndrome be charming?

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:01:36 -0800

How would a man with Asperger's Syndrome be charming?

Just like everyone else - by being charming! Having Aspergers doesn't stop you from having a (weird!) sense of humor, liking movies, walks on the beach, children, rain storms, music or good food. It only limits (to varying degrees) these things and our social interaction and understanding....

Answer to Why is it all the vowels are in the top line of the keyboard except "A" why put it in the second?

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:31:32 -0800

The Qwerty keyboard, pronounced kwer-tee, refers to the arrangement of keys on a standard English computer keyboard or typewriter. The name derives from the first six characters on the top alphabetic line of the keyboard. The arrangement of characters on a QWERTY keyboard was designed in 1868...

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 07:48:08 -0800

What portmanteau do you get when you mix Christianity and Buddhism?

Good word! I had to look it up. So, my attempt at a portmanteau would be Bhudianity. Chrism just doesn't say enough.

Answer to Has the pro-gay agenda really come this far? (SEE LINK) Is this sick to anyone else or is it just me?

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 07:04:06 -0800

Has the pro-gay agenda really come this far? (SEE LINK) Is this sick to anyone else or is it just me?

Why would you think it is sick? I am guessing that no one bothered to give you a book, or a talk, about differences and tolerance as a child. How can helping children understand instead of judging be sick? -1 just because it makes me feel icky to read your question.

Answer to Is there any hope for a person diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome at age 52? All treatments seem directed at children and teens. I learned to isolate myself many years ago, lonely but safe from ridicule.

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:45:27 -0800

Is there any hope for a person diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome at age 52? All treatments seem directed at children and teens. I learned to isolate myself many years ago, lonely but safe from ridicule.

Been there. Even have the t-shirt. I was 52 when diagnosed, but I always knew there was something terribly wrong about how I experienced life and I had 50 years to find a way to deal with it. So have you. There are no easy answers. No miricle cures or pills outside of treatments for social...

A weasel. A fox can also get into some incredibly small openings. Both can climb walls and scale fences like ladders.

Answer to How do you find Answerbag's new design? (I post some pictures in my own answer)

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:43:51 -0800

How do you find Answerbag's new design? (I post some pictures in my own answer)

The screen shots are terrific! Wish I had thought to do that while I was roaming around AB in the middle of the night. You must have done this at a time much different from my wanderings because there appear to be avatars on your page. I wasn't able to find any when I was there.

Answer to Did you vote for Obama and now regret it?

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 16:10:14 -0800

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 12:12:24 -0800

At what age should puberty start? I'm a 14 year old guy and must be the only one in gym class that has not started. Is this normal?

Pete, there is no timeline for this. But if you are concerned, go see a doctor. There could be some organic reasons for delayed puberty and they can be treated with meds. Your parents should be aware of your concerns and willing to help you. Go to them. If they aren't willing to help you,...

I'd do the same things that people have done during the 90-odd years of automobiles before cell phones were invented. Wait, walk or fix it.

How can I get my guy to understand that I'm an emotional person and he can't necessarily treat me like "one of the guys" or even as he would like to be treated? He's not an emotional person, and he doesn't know how to sympathize with me when I'm upset.

Can you change who and what you are? Why do you think he should be able to change who and what he is? Just a thought. . Your best bet is to give yourselves time to grow together. In time, you will learn how to treat each other.

Answer to Why do chicken nuggets taste better than breaded chicken breast? Isn't it the same damn thing, just smaller and cuter?

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:52:36 -0800

Why do chicken nuggets taste better than breaded chicken breast? Isn't it the same damn thing, just smaller and cuter?

More seasoning and smaller size means more seasoned breading per piece. I believe the compressed chicken parts are also seasoned and salted before breading, so seasoning would probably be the answer!

Answer to Atheist: If you were fighting in war and you got caught as a prisoner, would you start praying to God for forgiveness just incase Judgment Day was around the corner?

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:47:59 -0800

Atheist: If you were fighting in war and you got caught as a prisoner, would you start praying to God for forgiveness just incase Judgment Day was around the corner?

Would you begin praying to the Flying Spaghetti Monster if you were in that situation? No? Why not? It makes just as much sense as your question does. An athiest doesn't feel the need to hang the hope for future or survival on something that they consider to be a silly fantasy. You...

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 09:12:09 -0800

You're an apple, how far from the tree did you fall?

I have never made it to the ground! I got all tangled up in the branches on the way down. But it doesn't mean much. My parents are so far from being apples that being in this tree doesn't indicate anything except the 'normalcy' of my weirdness. Not kinship.

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:49:07 -0800

How much do foot tasters get paid?

It has to be pretty high, right? Sucking toes is not a popular job skill these days. But I am unemployed again so I'd be interested if the wage is high enough and there are good benefits.

Answer to I was taught that "moving water cannot freeze; only standing water can." If that is true, then how is it possible for Niagara Falls or Horseshoe Falls to freeze over? Is the attached photo a joke or real?

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:04:05 -0800

I was taught that "moving water cannot freeze; only standing water can." If that is true, then how is it possible for Niagara Falls or Horseshoe Falls to freeze over? Is the attached photo a joke or real?

I think it is possible. Every winter I see fountains that have become cascades of ice instead of water. The water had to be moving when it froze in the spilling-over position.

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:36:10 -0800

65 yr. old father is addicted to Oxycontin- We have already spoken to his doctor to no avail. His body cannot continue to take this. What can we do if he is not willing?

If the doctor is unwilling to let you diagnose and prescribe medications, he must have a reason! Perhaps he is treating your father for pain and the meds are better for him than the pain would be. Pain can stop your father from doing the normal, everyday things that make life bearable. If the...

Girls, If you wear a mini skirt should you or should you not wear tights. Becuase my girlfriend thinkks that it's just wrong to wear a mini skirt if you don't wear leggings. I'm planning to wear one and i'd like to know if i should wear tights.

It depends on the girl, the style and length of the skirt, and the weather. It is possible for a mini skirt to be worn without exposing everything. It should not be worn if the girl can't avoid showing her undies. Tights and leggings help hide the undies, but not the ability of the girl to...

President Obama associates or has associated with racists and race hucksters. He also occasionally says things that, if said by a white person, would immediately result in the press and many people condemning him for racism. Do YOU think he is a racist?

If you could honestly say that you have had no association with any racists, and your life could stand up to the scutiny that his has had to, then I might think that there was some sense in your question. But none of us can live into middle adulthood without having some association with people...

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 03:11:17 -0800

What is your solution to bring universal peace to the World?

In my humble opinion, number one would be to stop trying to bring universal anything to the world. The idea that it is possible is the biggest problem. Each group believes that they have the best ideas and try to make this the pattern for everyone else. If we could learn to let everyone be who,...

Why haven't you seen an attorney yet? This should be an easy one to correct. As his partner, you have more right to his care than mother.

Answer to What advice would you give Tiger Woods right now?

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:32:19 -0800
