It's fine, I know our son is planning a school trip to Japan next year and I know minor children can't leave the country without signed permission from both parents.

I don't have a letter from her lawyers but I do have a Jury Summons for her and a Notice of Delinquency since she obviously didn't respond to the summons.

I have a giant box of US mail I ignored while I was depressed. I've been afraid to look through it because there's probably a letter from my ex's lawyers in there.

I finally got the tax documents I need out of there, going to try and finish it off while I'm still drunk.

I don't know when or if I'll post trip reports about the other days of my trip, I'm really tired and...uh, I have to do taxes tomorrow, after putting them off for six months. So maybe this weekend, maybe not, but I took a lot of pictures I'll probably post once they upload.

TRIP REPORT: Train 48 had a completely remixed consist since I last rode it in June: one P42 locomotive (instead of two), four Amfleet II coaches (not five), an Amfleet café car, a Viewliner II dining car, then three Viewliner sleepers (two Is and a II), then a Viewliner II baggage car at the end.

My mom also doesn't believe this, I think she's memory holed when they sent me to therapy because I was so shy I literally wouldn't talk to strangers even if they asked me questions.

The therapy had me crawl, the reasoning seemed to be I hadn't done enough crawling before proceeding to walking.

The more I read about ASD the more I feel like the dumbest dumbfuck on the planet.

What do you mean normal people don't hate eye contact?

What do you mean normal people can fall asleep if they hear humans talking or breathing?

What do you mean normies don't have emotional support spreadsheets?

Wait, there are people for whom maintaining eye contact feels normal and natural? I didn't know that, you're telling me for the first time.

The thing about a special interest is it can take you out of your comfort zone, make you go out in public and tolerate discomfort in a way you would never otherwise, exhaust you...and at the end you'll cherish the memories.

Asexual is when you just have no interest in an activity widely popular with humans.

Vegan is when you want credit for not indulging your appetites in an activity popular with humans. Its sexual equivalent would be "celibate." There's no asexual about food because all of us die if we don't eat.

Linux isn't asexual, it's vegan. Linux users will NOT shut up about it.
