Absolutely, exercise is such a fantastic tool when dealing with aspergers'. Totally get the horror for a 14yr lad being shown knitting. Lucky enough for me with girls it's easier for me to get them into stuff like that. I hear you.Originally Posted by munstershane

Seems so much less important after reading the above...but here goes...
When buttering sliced bread from a loaf ("sliced pan", batch loaf, etc) you know how it tears easily if the butter is not really soft? It works much better if you spread from the bottom towards the top (flat edge to rounded edge) rather than the opposite or sideways. For whatever reason from the rising of the dough, the structural integrity is stronger when pulling toward the top.
I knew that one no.16. A trick my late granny taught me.

When watching porn on your laptop always have a second page open on a site your wife knows you post on,then when she gets up to get glass of water unexpectedly you can quickly change page.
Or - show her what you're watching, with instructions that this is how the pair of you will be entertaining one another from now on. Then send her out for a sandwich. Even if you're not hungry at that very moment, it'll make her feel valued. Which is nice.
Never mind perception because it isn’t real. It’s only what people think. Go out and make them think something else.

When working late shifts early in the week cook a shepherds pie and a casserole on Sunday night (while drinking a(?) bottle of wine). You've got an automatic lie in on Monday morning, and no-one's going to starve in your absence. Winner all round!
Monday night for us is spag bol, 12 mins and it's on the plate.

I used to be murder for popping into the supermarket for a couple of items & end up coming out with a basketful. A couple of months ago got into the habit of planning dinners for the week ahead. Was suprised by the amount of money you save by pre-planning & not impulse buying

The ultimate handy tip: Mammys' magic handbag! When the kids were younger and we went out for dinner,with friends or on our own, the kids get to the point where 7 red crayons in a yogurt pot and a menu to colour in don't cut it. Cue, Mammys magic handbag, post-its, pens, safety scissors, the ultimate doll hair brush, parer for the blunt pencils on the table, and the ultimate magical item, that thing you swore they would never have as it would stunt their development (the Mc Donald's toy they brought back from a birthday party!)all these things are essential to a happy night out for dinner.

You could, but Mammys handbag gives interaction between the adults and kids over dinner without technology being part of the meal, and without the kids taking over, but being part of it. I have seen the dads and their kids having races to see who could draw the best flick animation on the post-its.

I've no idea if any of this works but I though I'd share with you anyway.
Before you read to the end, do you know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is?
I had a neighbour who had bought a new van. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that some vandal had spray-painted red all around the sides of this white van. I went over and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to work out what to do, probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.
Another neighbour came out and told him to get some WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm the paint that was on the van. I'm impressed!
WD-40 - how did someone work out it would do that?
'Water Displacement No.40' The product began from a search for rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower screen. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as on glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your cooker top .... Kazamm! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
Here are some other uses:
1.Protects silver from tarnishing.
2.Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3.Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4.Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5.Keeps flies off cows.
6.Restores and cleans blackboards.
7.Removes lipstick stains.
8.Loosens stubborn zips.

16.Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17.Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes.
18.It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19.Dead insects will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20.Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21.WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.

23.Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.

26.Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27.Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
28.Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling.

32.Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33.Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34.Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35.Removes all traces of duct tape.
36.Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37.WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some counties.
38.Use it for gnat bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
I can add another one......if u spray ur garden pots around the sides it stops slugs/snails eating ur plants : )
I can add another .... removes chewing gum from anything.
And for some reason............spray it on your arthritic knee joints etc and it will ease them.
PS The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.

Dont go to the tax office in River House Limerick as they have taking the computers from the workers and they can do absolutely nothing for you.
They can only write your pps number on a piece of paper.
Happened to me today,couldnt believe it girl said they want everyone to register and use online service.
As an aside i was in work today wondering about when i came across a dead rat propped up on a boulder with a fag in its mouth and of coarse snapped a picture on the phone.
I think its too good to keep to myself,how do i get it off the phone onto here.
Save it to your hard drive, then use the "Insert Image" button (third from the right, above the reply box) to upload it. But maybe save it for when you're doing some political satire or something like that, and definitely don't put it in any of the food threads ....
Never mind perception because it isn’t real. It’s only what people think. Go out and make them think something else.

This is a handy thread.
This is 1 of the few threads that stay on topic.
WD-40 sprayed around the sides of a plant-pot stops slugs climbing it. Found that out recently, and it's a bloody revelation.
Also, and rather marvellously, they seem to loathe coffee grounds, which also make a rather good mulch and soil improver.
