IMO

I must be too because this is my new favorite song. I didn't even know Jeff was a singer. Yeah he went from a hunky leading man with Michelle Pfeiffer in that Fabulous Baker Boys movie to playing the old drunk sheriff in True Grit, kind of out there.. and now this! Love it.

Anyone fly fished for pike?

I've spent a lot of time on the Wabash River. There weren't any of the invasive carp there then.

Iโ€™ve been stuck here for such a long time I donโ€™t think I will ever get out.

I like the bloom where you are planted idea. In fact it was the main theme of the book I stole this Docteur Ralph name from... actually what he said was "cultivate your garden". Just worry about your backyard, take care of the little things and be happy where you are. The world will take care of itself.

Anyone here have experience with non-verbal autism?

How old is this youngest son? I think that's kind of an important point. I know I didn't talk for a long time. My brother and sister were both very verbal when they were 2 and I really didn't say much at all until I was almost 4. I had a big sister that was really close to me though, and I just followed her around. My mom said I didn't need to talk because she did all the talking for me. Yeah I really didn't say much until she went off to kindergarten and I had to talk. Maybe "gently" forcing your son to speak is not so bad. Maybe try closing your eyes and put your hands over his eyes and get some real verbal communication going on while neither of you can see. Lots of times shutting off one sense makes the others more active.

What song do you have stuck in your head?

Yeah I'm stuck in the 60's. At any moment in time there's a Led Zeppelin or Beatles song playing that I'm listening to in the back of my mind. Heck I used to sing along.

Everyone should read this article from Field & Stream magazine, whether you've experienced depression or not.

And yeah I used to think that people that were 60 were REALLY old and suddenly I'm about to hit it and I don't feel REALLY old... I just don't feel young. Never will again. Even when I was 40 I had days that I felt new and fresh and 18 but not any more. HA. The crazy part is that my wife's daddy is 75 and still works. He's not on any medication, is perfectly healthy and comes over to my house all the time to hang out and complains less than I do. Yeah it really is about attitude and having a zest for life.

Update on my momโ€™s condition (Ilse/Aisha).

Sorry about your mom. When my mom died it was the roughest time in my entire life. It kind of made a hole in me that has never really been filled. I did read something the other day that made me look at it in a new light though. It was a sign that said "Because someone I loved is in heaven, there's a little bit of heaven in my heart". Glad you stayed with her.

What song do you have stuck in your head?

Sixteen I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be, it only took a couple of days 'till she was rid of me. She swore that she would be all mine and love me 'till the end, but when I whispered in her ear I lost another friend... ohhh

Good times bad times you know I've had my share, but my woman left home for a better man and I still don't seem to care...

I'm not an expert on autism, but it seems like you should let him communicate with you however he can.
