Ok so cripples are excluded. Thanks for clearing that up.

You haven't offended me in any way. Trust me if you did, you would know. I don't hold back when someone offends me. And I've been told by both truckers and sailors to watch my mouth. So I'm not shy about letting someone know what I think of them.

I'll stick with the hardware. Digital is good for some things, but not as a gaming system. If I'm not physically changing the cartridge or disc, I'm not interested.

I guess you could call it OCD. If I don't have everything neat and tidy, it will drive me nuts until I fix it. For example I keep a printout in my purse of all the games I have. The reason for that is because my library is so big, that it's impossible to keep track of them all. So when I'm at a gaming store and see a game that looks interesting, I can look and see if I already have it. Now last week I bought a few new games. I added them to the list and printed out a whole new list to keep with me and threw the old one away. For games that I could count on one hand. But it works for me.

You got it. Now for a difficult one.
The strangest thing has been happening. For the past two weeks, numbers have been appearing on my front door. I don't know who is putting them there or why they are doing it, but I'm puzzled. I'm a single woman and I live alone. My apartment is on the 4th floor.
The numbers are written on the corner of the door in ballpoint pen. Every morning, when I wake up, I check my front door and find somebody has written four new numbers there during the night. The first time I noticed it, there were 4 numbers. Now, there are 56.
One night, I stayed up to keep watch, but I didn't see anything. By dawn, I gave up and decided to go to bed, but when I woke up, there were four new numbers. Here's the sequence:2321012312532318
2315225823022250
0725014222532247
23272320
I don't know what to make of it. Do you?

The first post? What was it? Also is that a good thing or bad thing?
-
I put them in alphabetical order because it's easier to keep track of them that way. I would like to find a copy of Swordquest: Waterworld for Atari. I would say Airworld, but that one was never made due to the video game collapse in the early 80's. It was completely scrapped and never released.😢

It helps quite a bit. I can run around killing enemies and it gets a lot of stress out. But if I'm looking for a certain drop item and having a hard time getting the item, then it adds stress. So sometimes I just pop in a game that I know I can beat easily. That helps center me and relax me. Gaming is more or less a life saver. And since I have such a short attention span, I have to have something to keep my eyes, ears, and hands busy, or all my issues go nuclear.

How did you even know about these movies?! The question I should be asking is what was the film director smoking when he came up with this concept?
Let's just say I'm weird.

I think the character needed someone who could play a dry attitude. I don't see Sandra Bullock or Will Smith being able to pull that off. Also if Sandra Bullock had gotten the role, does that mean that Trinity would be a lesbian? Or would they have replaced her with a male character?

Next riddle. This is an easy one.
A girl endured terrible bullying every day at school. Some of the girls in her class would even take her to a secluded place and beat her up so nobody would see them doing it. One day, the girl was found lying dead in a pool of blood in the school toilets. The teachers said it was suicide. She had sliced her own wrists and bled to death. They said she left a note behind. It read:
"Please excuse the unfortunate mess. I committed suicide, but it was not because I was bullied."

You pretty much got it. To get the exact answer look at his letter. Take the first word from the first line. The second word from the second line. The third word from the third line, and the fourth word from the fourth line.
There's your answer.

I agree with this sentiment because the younger employees tend to be inexperienced to handle very demanding situations or suffer from a bit of immaturity. The way older folks tend to suffer from old age-related issues such as slower response time, lack of energy, poor eyesight, judgement and can be quite grumpy...
Just because some one is a bit younger doesn't mean they are immature. I knew kids that were a lot more mature than full grown adults when I was 12. Also it's unfair to say that older workers are slow, lethargic, can't see or have bad judgement. Just because they are older doesn't mean they have Alzheimer's
You need to look at performance, not age. That's all there is to it. Judging strictly by age is not only discrimination, it's prejudice.

Due to my MD, I'm usually in bed around 7-8. I don't have the strength to stay up much later.
-
I change into loose clothes, kick back in a quiet room and do whatever interests me at the moment. Usually a video game and some background noise. YouTube is most common.

Even though it's technically a fruit, I would say tomato. But if we have to get technical it would be carrots, potatoes, corn, okra, and definitely green beans.

I like to sit back in silence and watch the water come down. I usually go out into my garage with something to drink (typically soda) and just enjoy the rain. I especially love it if it's just pouring like a hurricane with tons of thunder and lightning. I'm talking flash flood conditions. Not sure why, but I love those kind of days.
-
The games I listed don't have my PS2, Game Cube, or Wii games in it. But that's mostly because I don't play those systems anymore. I was never the biggest fan of any of those 3, but that doesn't mean I don't have a lot of games for them. But my wife also has her collection. So there's a lot more than what I listed.

I guess he got the wrong happy meal toy that day.

I have to face a lot of the same mental illnesses as you @LadyDay. But I'm also schizophrenic on top of it all. I also have a rage disorder. I've also been diagnosed as Schizoid and borderline personality disorder (BPD). And I'm not going to lie, these issues have gotten me in trouble with the law several times.
But I believe the disability that plays a more important part in this discussion is the physical one
I've had back problems since I was a teenager, getting worse as the years progressed. Finally in December of 2015, I was diagnosed with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy. For those who don't know MD is a muscle disease that deteriorates the muscles, and over time you simply get weaker and weaker. Your endurance goes down, and your strength is shot. It's progressed to the point that I'm now wheelchair bound. I'm unable to walk more than 3 or 4 steps without passing out. If I do any kind of physical activity, even something simple, like dressing myself, it often makes me pass out. I have night time incontinence due to the MD. I'm seeing my neurologist soon, so I'll see what he says. Actually I see 3 different neurologists, so I can't keep track of which one I see and when. Hopefully this one is the right one for my MD.
So my MD is the main reason why all I do anymore is play video games and play around online. I simply don't have the physical capability to do much of anything else.
And thank you @StaceyPowers for making this post. I had thought about doing the same, but didn't think there would be enough disabled people here for it. Or maybe I was just scared to do it. Afraid of being judged or ridiculed. I guess you're just braver than I am.

For England, I can't answer that. I'm in the states, so I know very little about theatre in England. All I can say is ask around. Go to a couple performance halls and ask. If they're not showing it, ask if they have any plans, or if they would be willing to look into it. Your best bet would probably be The Theatre Royal, even though it is haunted. But it's not a bad haunting.

I'm worn to the bone and just got home. I'm on my phone at the moment, but I'll post a real reply to this tomorrow.

@killamch89 @The Blackangel I totally forgot about those. That might be something to think about. My configuration is still very odd--one of my plugs is on the ceiling, lol. Can those multioutlet thingies be plugged into power strips as well?
Depending on the strip, I don't see why not.

Animals can smell fear and absolutely hate the aroma. It's like temporary rabies picked up through the intuitive nose.
Even though I've been bitten, I've never feared dogs. Actually, off the top of my head, I can't really think of an animal I really fear. There's a shitload of animals I know better than to screw with. But I can't say that I fear them.

You're welcome to ask anything you want. I'm not an authority on MD, but I do know more than I want to know.
Yes the MD can, and probably will, affect my ability to use my hands for much. It is like a slow drip and instead of leaking water, it leaks strength and endurance. But so far just sitting back and pressing buttons in my hands in a relaxed state doesn't seem to be in any danger for a while.
Fingers crossed.
