Got a little brother with autism and one of my friends is autistic there are far too many different brands of autism to really be able to put all autistic people under the same hat, with my little bro his autism is shown by being unusually startled when startled, having problems controlling his emotions (he has broken 3 PS2 controllers because if he gets really angry he´d throw them away XD), having a hard time focusing on other things around him if something has caught his interest a lot (like I can speak his name many times before he responds) and also he has a problem with following orders, like if he´s playing a game and I tell him to save and then come eat then he´d perhaps save the game, then go shoot a car in the game, then go walk around a little bit and then come eat (he also has ADHD (a thing in the family kinda, I got ADD) and I can´t be certain if it´s the ADHD or the autism but he can get pretty hyper like hoguan's schoolmates).

And then there is my friend unlike my little brother he is fully grown and I did not know he was autistic until he told me, he has pretty mild autism I think but he used to be hard to deal with when he was a kid showing alike symptoms as my little brother but he has learned to control that as he has grown and he is a really brilliant person who has no problems communicating

But as said there are many different types of autism and they can all progress in different ways.

There is actually no point in it at all!

actuallllyyyy.... it does help you feel less stressed, even though the consequences are horrible. Smokers usually have a fixation of chewing things, having something in their mouth, because they never passed Stage 2 in their development as an infant or toddler. Generally, people who bite their fingernails, chew on pen caps, have the need to constantly chew gum, etc etc, are more likely to develop a smoking habit later in life.

The ingredients in cigarettes include certain toxins that create the feeling of stress, by making the body feel that it "needs" the toxin it becomes frustrated and restless, those two psychological states cause irritation and stress is caused by high levels of irritation, the reason a smoker feels "less stressed" is because he is consuming the toxins that the body has become addicted to, thus the frustration and restlessness caused by the withdrawal from the toxin drops and thus drops the level of irritation and lastly stress.

Of course people have, do and always will feel stress, but there are no properties in cigarettes that take stress based on other things than the withdrawal from certain toxins, so after you smoke a cigarette you will feel close to exactly the same level of stress you´d feel at that point in your life if you had never smoked in your life.

What you say about people who chew things may be correct, but only if the person is ignorant of the side effects of smoking, smoking will only replace the need to nibble or chew things by the same amount something else like candy or a rusty crowbar would do.

Wow good post.

So even a cigarette that is mostly tobacco wouldn't contain relaxants?

---

Not quite, there are a lot of different ways to consume tobacco but in the end it´s just very much like your average cigarette, the first times consuming tobacco should just either feel uncomfortable or weird, and consuming after becoming addicted should be pleasing since you feel relieved from the withdrawal.

And if I remember right someone wrote that his or her brother/sister got asthma from smoking, that is possibly correct since smoking tobacco products can cause 'Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease' that causes the airways become narrowed and that leads to a limitation of the flow of air to and from the lungs causing a shortness of breath and that is in contrast to asthma since with COPD the limitation of airflow is poorly reversible and usually gets progressively worse over time.

But I´m no doctor, just know what I have learned in places like school and I must have been dosing off in biology when it came to the part about the side effects of smoking tobacco since I don´t remember if anything was said about asthma, only COPD.

I would not mind it if people using bluetooth would not walk right up to me, face me, look at my face and then start talking...

Really been way too many times when I´m just standing and suddenly some person walks up to me and says "hello" and I respond and the person is giving me this look of "wtf..."

My monster is such a disgusting creature that it can´t be described, it has 1 humanoid form it changes into in order to get closer to humans.

Here I got a pic of it in humanoid form.

http://dragonline86.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/james_wong_370x2701.jpg

No one has seen it in monster form but what this monster does is take good things and turn them into bad disgusting things equally disgusting as his true form, and he corrupts peoples minds and makes them think his disgusting creations are good while they are pure evil.

The monster often changes names but right now it goes by the name 'James Wong'.

Beware, the monster it is out there and it´s destroying art, literature and all kinds of stories and fantasies.

There are rumors that since the monsters ability is to take good and beautiful things and turn them into the opposite of beauty, that the true form of it is exactly that, the opposite of the most beautiful and sexy thing or person that you can imagine.

I hate it when I hit a point in a RPG that is impossible for me to win because I did something wrong or because of my class.

Am ATM stuck wondering what to do in NWN:Hordes of Underdark, I´m at a point where I only have my elf druid/shifter and my two animal companions and I gotta enter a room with 5 "minibosses" and when I enter the room all my buffs are taken away so all buffs I have to make me physically stronger are taken away, a mage does a time-freeze and buffs all the minibosses with more physical defense and magic resistance, my pets can´t hit one of the minibosses that is a monk because of his crazy ability to dodge and his AC and the monk can hinder me from casting spells, and I have to cast a dispell first before I can cast any spells cos of the magic resistance, as a druid I have so little AC and generally am reliant on buffs and party members holding aggro so I get blasted with strong physical attacks and I can´t do anything.

In other words, because the main strength of my character is neutralized I can´t win, it´s like playing a RPG as a warrior/fighter and then having your armor and weapon taken from you forcing you to fight naked with your fists.

My my looks like the board got messes up already and black did twice XD, but no worries let´s just fix that up a bit, I´l re-arrange the board so it will be as if white did first turn with pawn/knight, and then black moved pawn and then white moves pawn/knight.

|♖|♘|♗|♕|♔|♗|♘|♖|
|♙|♙|＿|♙|♙|♙|♙|♙|
|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|
|＿|＿|♙|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|
|＿|＿|♟|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|
|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|♞|＿|＿|
|♟|♟|＿|♟|♟|♟|♟|♟|
|♜|♞|♝|♛|♚|♝|＿|♜|

And now that I´ve fixed that it´s black players turn (again).

Black Pawn from D-7 to D-6

|♖|♘|♗|♕|♔|♗|♘|♖|
|♙|♙|＿|＿|♙|♙|♙|♙|
|＿|＿|＿|♙|＿|＿|＿|＿|
|＿|＿|♙|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|
|＿|＿|♟|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|
|＿|＿|＿|＿|＿|♞|＿|＿|
|♟|♟|＿|♟|♟|♟|♟|♟|
|♜|♞|♝|♛|♚|♝|＿|♜|

Edit: now it is white players turn and please note that black is always top and white is at bottom (at least until white pieces are moved to the top and the black pieces are moved down to the bottom of the chessboard).

Greetings I am fairly new here and I noticed that there was something lacking in the Crazy House forums, that thing is chess!

I will lay down a chessboard here that you can copy and paste icons and such to make it work, it´s not the best chessboard but it´s the best I can make.

The rules are simple.
1. The rules of chess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess
2. Everyone can play, I start by moving white and then the next player moves black and the player after him/her white and so forth...
3. You first copy the table as it was before you made a move and then you write for example "White pawn from C-2 to C-4" and then you paste the table below that text and move the chess piece accordingly and then you post.
4. If someone makes a move just as you make one and you accidentally move during the same turn, then the poster who has his post under the faster poster has to delete that post it´s frustrating to have to delete a good move but for the sake of keeping chaos away it must be done
5. Have fun, let others have their turn too and when a game is finished start a new one
