Did your pug watch tv too? And bark at animals? I can't watch Animal Planet anymore. lol
No, but Toby let my, then, two year old son pretend to ride him as if he were a pony. :laugh: I made sure my kids were never too rough with him and he adored playing and be walleyed by them.

One of my current dogs (Cody the Miniature Australian Shepard) sometimes watches tv and growls and barks at the animals he sees, especially dogs, horses, and bears. He even growls at the puppies and dogs he see in commercials. We have to tell him, "Cody, that's a good dog/puppy/horse", to get him to stop. :lol:

I read recently that the fames per second on the older sets didn't allow dogs to see the images very well. http://dogtime.com/dog-health/dog-behavior/21025-do-dogs-actually-watch-and-react-to-television

Wow, that's interesting. Tabitha tries to attack the TV, barking wildly. Can't get her to stop. She tries to attack all animals. And she hates the General commercial

I haven't had time to read this thread. Everyone in my family has AS. We think/refer to it as evolution of the brain

It seems to me, evolution is selecting for these traits, while at the same time selecting against them. The genes involved are important for everybody, though, and so are the people in whom the genes are expressed in the traits discussed in this thread.

Some of us have comorbid conditions that play with the AS.

I guess for some people,. the comorbid conditions can have a greater impact than the AS. I don't have AS. I have Tourette's/OCD/ADD.

When I have time I will back read this thread.

I had been following along, but now I'm way behind...

So I wake up and instantly start vaping as well. I take like 3-5 long drags, like 4-6second drags. Then I move around check my juice levels fill that if I need and talk with my gf. I do this every morning and it's become ritual. I quit smoking cigarettes about a month ago, and I'm very proud of myself. I am never going back to cigarettes or even chewing tobacco. I hate cigarettes and what they do to people. My whole family smokes and I've gotten both my father and mother vape's now to try and help wing them off cigarettes. My dad has the eleaf 50w I stick and a Starre freemax Subohm tank, and my mom has the itaste CLK 1280 (twist pen) with the nautilus aspire tank on it. They both still smoke, but claim its hoped them cut back. What should I do to help them more? Should I get them new tanks? New devices? TC maybe?

Anyway, vaping has changed my life. I do things I normally wouldn't do, I eat things more often, I love myself even more than I did when I was smoking cigarettes. It seems as if vaping has changed my life for the better. I feel great, and I can totally see a difference in how I felt in general(even health wise) in comparison to when I was a cigarette smoker. I don't feel like .... every morning crawling out of bed and reaching for my A.M cigarette. Screw cigarettes and be company's who fund:sell them, I hope they die from the same cancer they sell to our family's.

On another note, I am very ADD/ADHD and I've noticed vaping helps me with that. I'm Able to better focus now, I feel a lot of things are connected within, like I got my wires back, and all the screws are back on tightly and I even replaced a few screws that were missing. In other words, i feel fantastic. Life is good and I wouldn't change a thing, I hope more people out in the world feel the way I do and are successful (1 cig at a time) quitting cigarette smoking and converting to something much more pleasurable and healthier. God bless and thanks for reading:)

Well im not sure if i have aspergers or if im just a sociopath but i do justify my vaping by telling myself it relieves my stress and is a healthier alternative to cigarettes. I won't lie. I like smoking cigs but now that im starting to try to become more responsible and take better care of my body it seems the stress coming from the guilt of smoking cigs cancelled out my justification for smoking in the first place,

Similar for me. The stress smoking relieved, was undermined by the increasing stress due to worry, guilt, logistics and financial cost.

I will be popping in and out (no, not like bewitched) but don't know when as I have been sort of busy.... Take care all and I will catch you when I can.
Not like bewitched? Darn! I thought you were magic all this time. :)

You had a week and 1/2 off work and didn't invite me to any type of party?
What did you do during your time off (besides rest up)?
Ohh that is it. I had a trip planned to Lancaster, PA but the wife unit spent all of my bonus money on the grandchildren.
