You remark about Asperger's got my eye. I wish I had known about this many years ago...yea, my husband's only sibling, surely has this too and has been SO awful to deal with and has caused our little family a lot of harm. I found out what this was when a grandchild was diagnosed with it. In reading a great deal about it, I realize quite a few of our kin have it, in varying degrees. It appears mostly as the base line, being VERY self centered people. But the reading of these books on it has helped me a lot in the last few years. For one thing, it helps not to take so many things personally...and they do indeed feel like personal attacks, but sometimes it is just that the person is totally in their own world and totally incapable of seeing anything else! Blessings on you in your struggles. It helped a great deal to live many states away...not my plan, just how life has worked out..but something to be grateful for. Long distance DOES help in some cases!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-41984161046971146542009-03-18T21:00:00.000-04:002009-03-18T21:00:00.000-04:00Hope things in your life get smoother soon!My brot...Hope things in your life get smoother soon!<BR/><BR/>My brother gave me Trisha's cookbook for Christmas and it is really nice and fun to read, her cheese straws are really good! <BR/><BR/>and about the bad economy, it is not affecting my town nearly as much either, but I do know a few people in other towns in my state that can't find jobs. <BR/>It's really sad.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-31390500607288338272009-03-18T13:47:00.000-04:002009-03-18T13:47:00.000-04:00You know, I'm really beginning o believe it's all ...You know, I'm really beginning o believe it's all about where you live. So far no one we know has been layed off (knock on wood LOL). One of my friends even opened her own shop last week. The restaurants are full even in the middle of the week. Real estate is very slow but we had one house sell in my neighborhood last month so loan money must be opening up.<BR/><BR/>I really don't know what to think. A lot of the media focuses on the negative. Yet I see a totally different side. I'm cautiously optimistic! But it never hurts to be prepared...just in case.<BR/><BR/>ManuelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-70898682493214365102009-03-18T13:27:00.000-04:002009-03-18T13:27:00.000-04:00Brenda,Thank you for being so real.I married into ...Brenda,<BR/>Thank you for being so real.I married into a family that has an autistic child(she's now 25)and it took me years to get used to her uniqueness as I had never ever dealt with this.I was 31 when I married.:-)God's grace helped me to adjust though and with His help I now am not uncomfortable around her.Love you Brenda~Sharon GoemaereSharon Goemaerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418510653781941204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-69300921353596442022009-03-17T22:14:00.000-04:002009-03-17T22:14:00.000-04:00oh Brenda, I am so ready for SPRING--it is excitin...oh Brenda, I am so ready for SPRING--it is exciting seeing little things sprouting up, knowing what is coming....<BR/>Yes, I know how hard it is to REALLY trust the Lord when a loved one is on the road, on a trip etc....<BR/>I think it is were the Lord really wants us to get out on that limb and hang on and just TRUST...easier said than done...spending more time in the WORD is sure the best way...and lots of prayer..~~Debyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288057520112643825noreply@blogger.com
