Hello Friends. I am Blaze

For those who don't know me already, I am an almost 67 year old aspie woman with no diagnosis but...when I read descriptions of adult women with autism, it fit me like a glove. Suddenly my life made sense. I work with people with developmental disabilities, but am hoping to retire soon. My deepest interests are wilderness canoeing and gardening. I am so pleased to see here some of the people I have been missing.

    I hope you find this place to be the peer oriented experience we have been busy trying to build.

    Man ska väl inte klaga, men ja. Solen gick ned kl. 15:30 idag.

    Hoppas det är bra med dig. :)

    Tack.

    Jag menade inte att klaga.

    For everyone else, I have an interest in Sweden because that is where my grandson and daughter-in-law live. And, incidentally, I have also canoed in Sweden. :-)

    Tem, it is good to see you again, too.

    And thank goodness Karamazov is here. Another plant person, whom I have missed. Hi Kar!

  • Hi Blaze....I'm here, too!

  • Blaze is a paragon of virtue. She's very interesting, She gives me the impression that she's a Renaissance Lady who is very modest.

  • She's a fascinating persona of many facets, I agree.

    Didn't mean you, I meant me. It's a pretty common response to being asked how you are: "I shouldn't complain." :)

  • ^Ah, a language misunderstanding. You did say "I" and I thought (how's this for aspie?) "me."

    In America, we tend to say: "I can't complain." or just "can't complain."

    Sweden is so beautiful and has such a great community culture, but also tolerant of privacy. I just can't get over the six months of darkness. I used to live in upstate New York, and there were something like 320 cloudy days per year. It was so depressing. Now I live where the sun shines brightly and it boosts my spirits every day to see so much blue sky.

  • Good to see you Blaze. This place just got brighter.

  • Kortie, you are so sweet. I tried to add a smiley, even a text smiley, but I have to demonstrate civility before I can smile.
    Looks like I can't even use carrots.
    SMILE

  • And thanks also to Wulfnite.

    I seem to be having trouble getting quotes posted. I guess I have to hurry up and demonstrate my civility.

    Doing well thank you, yourself? 🙂

  • Karamazov, please visit my gardening discussion! I need help with the rose I bought because you were so enthusiastic about roses. (Am I allowed to shill from my own thread?)

    Not bad at all, all things considered☺

    "Man" technically makes it a generalized statement; "One shouldn't complain." But in-context means the same thing.
