Some of us are fighting a silent war

I don't know if it has to do with my Asperger's, Autism or OCD I lack feeling.

I felt absolutely nothing, was neutral in my mood, when my father died, my uncles my aunts and my elderly sister, even when my cats died I felt nothing.

Reading lastest comment by Skybird in his German Politics thread about the massive rainfall and all the dead and missing-I know what to write as an answer, beside that I have no feeling for the dead or the missing.

I'm not totally cold hearted I get sad, when I read about child and animal abuse.

Of course, not having quite the same level of empathy as most folks is another feature of Asperger's... you're still a good man, Markus... just a little different in this regard

But it's great that you know how to exercise care and tact in putting these thoughts across, and it surely helps that you'll be assured some understanding and empathy from your friends at Subsim

Grief is not measurable. Nor is it the same for any two people. What one may find to be devastating, another may find to be banal. That is not a judgement of value and should not have any bearing on a person's supposed "goodness".

After 25+ years on the fire department, I have plenty of my own demons to deal with. Strange what I found can trigger a reaction in me. Like you Jim, I have my own bits of paranoid behaviors.

The wife used to go nuts when out in public with me until I told her that was the modus operandi used by my first stabber.

You could have fooled me the way you walked through the Airport in Houston!

What doesn't surprise me is the fact that a fair few ex-colleagues have not too dissimilar foibles.

I was 'Mr Wolfram' on that day if you recall and I actually walked past you at first in the arrivals area

Then proceeded to hijack a Limo as I recall.

Not funny at the tome but a real hoot when he brought me back to the airport to pick up the correct Mr Wolfram

That is a CLASSIC that will never be forgotten!

A British Copper taking a wild ride in a Limo!

And me and Nancy Lady grabbing Grant wondering where you were!

[Jimbuna]

Happy days indeed my friend

Famed lawman, Wyatt Earp, was also a pimp and a horse thief...I imagine we can forgive our moderator-in-chief his petty mischief; it was Texas after all!!??
