I washed the car with my son the other day. It didn't go very well. Next time I think I'll use a sponge instead.
Maybe if you made him wear one of those big fuzzy pink coats (I guess it doesn't have to be pink but it should!)
Hmm a nekkid me might work as a pretty good sponge too.
You don't have to be at the top to be nekkid TOZ if you really want to be nekkid.

I'm light sensitive. Too much sunlight and it hurts my eyes. And vulnerable to cold. I get cold easily. Pain...I generally try to tell it to go sit in the naughty corner.Sorry don't really think I can help there Rosita.
I haven't really been in touch with the PF 3rd party scene for a while, so I don't really know what's out there, as good stuff to be inspired/swipe from.As for pain…
I'm in the wimpy end of the spectrum, by being somewhat pain and heat sensitive.Edit:
Eh think I might turn in early.
*sigh*
Feeling mopey, tired and lonely again today.
Add me to the light-sensitive bunch.
During summer I walk around with a permanent squint...>_<

Stroopwafel experiment complete. I can say that I am not prone to stroopwafel addiction. First the Stroopwafel was put on the rim of my hot cup of boiling tea (my cup is a little too small for the stroopwafel, really). I left it there for 3 minutes, turned to the other side, left it there for 2 minutes. The centre was slightly warm, and soft, so much that when I saw it sagging I was worried it might fall into my cup of tea. I had a bite of it, it is nice, but also a tad too sweet for my taste(guess I’m not as sweet toothy as I thought).
Kjeldorn - you need to get transition lenses.
The cheap option is to wear a cap, which is what I generally do. When it's time for me to change my glasses I may go for transition lenses.

Autistic children may find haircuts painfulHmm interesting. Good on him. I think I had in mind more of a what if you could feel your hair being cut kind of painful as if it had nerves.
When my grandpa cut my hair it legitimately hurt. he cut hair in the military it was pretty rough and I always got a crew cut.
Hmm You know I was just thinking about the positives and negatives of the behavioral training and autism is one of the big ones that comes up a lot. I've seen some very intensive behavioral therapy over the course of years make truly miraculous effects on children with autism to the point where you wouldn't believe they ever had it in the first place. (when its used it works on about 50% of cases which is staggeringly effective really Its has however been quite awhile since I have updated myself on it however) downside it the price and amount of time invested your talking about 2-3 hours more days then not of a trained professional over the course of years and it needs to start as as young as possible pretty much for better effectiveness.
At the same time there are some psychologists that believe you should instead accept the person as is and not make an attempt to change them. its just a part of who they are. Society should change instead of making them change for society. The whole thing can be pretty interesting. I should look up if there is any research done on the individuals overall happiness after the treatment. It would probably be pretty hard to get a good baseline... I might be rambling
TL/DR: interesting article.
It is a lot harder to change society then attempt to change a minority of people. Some who are autistic can still function in normal society, some never will.

I agree but the interesting thing to me is your link that you posted is an example of society changing instead of individuals (in a small way granted.)

Lets all take a moment and be glad that cutting hair doesn't hurt.
You've obviously have never had a daughter.

All I know is, to this day I refuse to pay for Crookshanks to get a haircut because when she was 7 we let her talk us into getting a haircut and she blamed ME for it for ten months.
So yeah, getting a haircut can be exceptionally painful!

2 cups of flour
3/4 cup of sugar
200 g of salted butter
3 long RIPE Delmonte Bananas
3 eggs
1.5 teaspoons of baking soda
1) Grease the baking pan then set to preheat at 320F
2) Sieve the flour
3) Cream 200g of salted butter with 3/4 cups of sugar
4) Mash the bananas and add in the eggs, and baking soda, mix well.
5) Add the mashed banana,egg and baking soda to the butter and sugar, and mix
6) Add the flour in 3 batches.
7) Put in the oven to bake for 1h 30 min at 320F. Increase to 338 F for last 10 min
My baking tray is 9 inches by 9 inches, though the sides are half an inch thick.
And please do NOT use unripe bananas for it. Not only you don't get the flavour, the texture of the cake also becomes weird. I infact prefer bananas which are on the verge of spoiling. Overripe ones. For better flavour.

Orange cake was already given to you earlier. I find orange a good one because cakes tend to be a bit oily, and the citrus nature of orange counteracts that nicely.
I tried lemon cake before(yes, seriously, but the cake tasted a tad sour because I added the juice). I probably won't try again because I dunno what to do with the rest of the lemon, though lemon water is a thing. If I were to try a lemon cake again, I would add only the zest and not the juice.
The last time I tried the orange cake with zest but not juice, the flavour felt off. Couldn't really put a finger onto it but it wasn't...full bodied enough if you get my drift.(As opposed to really adding orange juice into the cake)

Sorry Kjeldorn....maybe you could try baking them if your place has an oven?
Again you'd need a mixer unless you want to do everything by hand. Which I did for chocolate chip cookies(bloody tiring),but I've never done it for cakes. Probably should be easier since cookie dough consistency is a lot harder and stickier then cake.
Sometimes I get carried away when I talk food shop.

Grrr... So I signed in after my week off and got the usual flood of e-mails and notifications to sort through, plus yet another, "We're changing the name of this group because it will make them better," announcement.
I swear, a huge chunk of marketing exists solely to make my life miserable by changing the names of all our products at least biannually.
You know, maybe our customers wouldn't be nearly so confused about the products we offered if we didn't keep changing their names!!!!
Yeah, this is an internal group, not a product, but can we STOP focusing on what people are called, and instead focus on the work that they do? Is that SO hard?
Grr...

Baking has always been been my kitchen-skills achilles heel…
Think it might have something to do with me being an adequate ad-hoc cook and baking being more about actually following the baking instructions rather precisely =(

I think I expressed it to Shiro rather well: "Imagine if Adobe put out Adobe Flash Player, and, after finding all the bugs, kept changing its name every year. Adobe Media Player. Adobe Content Playback. Adobe Web Interactivity Enhancer. And on and on. And it was always the same product."
No matter WHY you're doing it, or what justification you think you have, you are 100% guaranteed going to confuse customers and make them mistrustful of you...

Speaking of Shiro, sometimes being a gnome rogue is just delightful: We were trying to break into an acid-lined safe with all the mechanisms internal to the box so there was no way to get a Disable Device roll from the outside.
So she drank her potion of Reduce Person and had the sorcerer Dimension Door her into the safe, near the top making the assumption it wouldn't be absolutely full.
Success! And with all the mechanisms internal, getting out again was a piece of cake...

Any idea how fast you were actually going?
California's funny; I think it comes from being a rather huge state. "Well, I pegged you at doing 93, but that's more paperwork for both of us, so I'm writing you up for 84."
Then you get Oregon. "I'm writing you up for doing 73 in a 70 zone."
"You're doing what now?"
EDIT: LOLOL. Just scrolled up and saw Vanykrye's edit! Kind of scary that we chose the EXACT SAME NUMBERS for our examples of "bad" cops.
Meh. Same old, same old.

Almost forgot why I popped in here.
Working with wiring always makes me have a lot more respect for electricians, though their refusal to PUT THE WIRING INSIDE THE WALLS is still a source of eternal frustration for me.
Wiring up a standard circuit is easy: All the wires are the same size, so the wire caps work beautifully, and everything holds together as if you'd used a bunch of glue. The GFCI outlets in Whimseyshire are just rock-solid.
Then you get to the stoopid fixtures. And you're running at least 14-gauge solid copper wire, or possibly 12-gauge if you're like me (smaller numbers are bigger wires because you need confusion, just like in nails). And all the fixtures use 18-gauge twisted wire. Trying to convince a wire cap to hold together twisted 18-gauge and one or more bits of 14-gauge is an art, and it's a PITA art at that.
So yeah, last week I added a bunch of drywall, so today over lunch I was trying to put his light fixture back in. So of course, got it up, got it all connected, pushed it into the box, made sure nothing was crossed, closed it up, and voila! The stupid 18-gauge popped loose.
I may just resort to solder...

Life with NobodysMother:
So, just to make us absolutely, positively, 100% sure that moving in with her was the worst mistake of our lives, my mother flies down to visit every couple of months and have dinner with us. At first, she tried to stay with us. We out-and-out refused. She's finally given up on that. Then, she asked for a key. We out-and-out refused. She's finally given up on that.
But we tell her to arrive at 6:00 pm and we'll go out to dinner, and she shows up at 5:15 pm and just walks in the front door unannounced, then says, "Sorry I'm early," and proceeds to disrupt all our prep time.
We've asked her again and again to knock, and she ignores us.
So now, the only time you'll find NobodysHome's door locked when he's home is when his mother is visiting. And yes, he takes perverse delight in listening to her stroll up the stairs, grab the doorknob, and plow right into the door because she was expecting it to be unlocked.
*SIGH*

My brother was saying baking needs to be more precise, but you notice I've not exactly said how long you must cream the butter and sugar, or reheat the pan. Yep, I never bothered to measure. Even the baking time of 1h 30 min is an estimation. Because different ovens set on the same temperature...somehow some ovens are hotter then others. You need to acclimatize to your oven.
And generally I'll tell you, the cake is ready when I can smell it while playing Hearthstone in the room.
Yeah I'm not THAT precise either...

Glad to hear it. My Wizard in the locally-hosted tabletop game has hit 4th level. We're playing Rise of the Runelords Anniversary edition. Before I joined, the party resolved to bring the prime instigators of the Swallowtail Festival attack back to Sandpoint for trial. That means, Tsujuto, Lyrie, and Nuallia are being dragged back to Sandpoint in chains. The Mercenary, we let go. "Go enjoy your ale."
We caught Tsujuto, he refused to talk. Lyrie and Vandescar we let them walk. Nualia we decided was too dangerous to let live so we just executed her. I had some vague fantasies of prosecuting people and goblins for war crimes under the Geneva conventions Art. 8(2)(a)(i) wilful killing of protected persons against Sandpoint, but that didnt happen.
