"Am I the only one who thinks..."

[Shawn Hopkins]

I actually have Asperger's, Tourette's, and OCD. I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was about 4, and I hope to be civil on here. Anyway, as for the question, am I the only one that thinks that Ronald McDonald is creepy?

God no. He's a horrible meat clown. He looks like he has pale skin and a bloody mouth. He's nightmare fuel.

 

[Michael24]

I never had a problem with Ronald McDonald. Heck, even had a big toy figure of him that I carried everywhere as a kid. I've never found clowns creepy the way some people do, unless it's one that's intentionally supposed to be, like Pennywise. But just regular ones, like Ronald or Bozo or typical circus clowns? They never bothered me.

Here's a song that gets to the point:

I've got another one (after all, I sometimes feel like the only one who thinks a lot of things.) Am I the only one who thinks that Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is disgusting?

I don't like macaroni & cheese in general.

I'm planning to see another opthamologist since I have to get tested for something else, and I'm also going to bring up the issue with the glasses. The points you bring up are good, but I thought I could just get away with just using them for driving. There are other people who wear glasses, but it seems to be only when they do something specific, like reading, or driving. They could be wearing contacts for all I know though.

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to see what my results would be if I took the Snellen eye chart test without glasses. When I had my appointment, I took the test with the glasses on, just to get the best results.

I thought of using contacts, and thought they might be better, but I'm going to discuss that with the eye doctor when I see one again.

Since you too say the pressure can be annoying, what exactly was it like for you at first? Was your situation the same as mine? What you told me to try is what you also tried to get over the issue, yes?

Anyway, I've had sinus headaches, so you might have a point about sinus problems. I've even considered seeing a neurologist. I find that I can also get headaches from certain strong scents (like strong perfume or strong cologne, and that's why I never wear cologne), not eating breakfast soon enough, or not getting enough sleep at night before waking up in the morning.

Try silhouettes, they,re pricey, but you can get any style you want, and depending on where you buy them, a lifetime warranty. They're really light and comfy.

I thought I was the only one who didn't, myself. Whenever I say this to my friends, it seems like sacrilege to them.

 

[Michael24]

Yes, I've also never been a fan of macaroni & cheese. I think I had it once as a kid and didn't like it. Plus, it just looks gross.

 

[MDawg]

Add another to the list. I've never liked them either and figured I was odd for it since everyone seems to love it around here.

 

[Shawn Hopkins]

Saying you don't like mac and cheese because you tried Kraft mac and cheese once is like saying you don't like movies because you watched Pearl Harbor. Try some of the good stuff made with real cheese before you write it off completely.

 

[Light Lucario]

I like macaroni and cheese. It's been a long time since I had Kraft mac and cheese and I don't quite remember if I even liked it at all, but I can eat macaroni and cheese and enjoy it. It's not one of my favorite things to have for a meal, but if it's available and there's nothing else I'm in the mood to eat, I'd heat it up and eat it for dinner.

 

[The Talon]

I always ate the mac n' cheese that was in shapes of characters like Spongebob or Scooby-Doo.

Am I the only one that feels like I've missed absolutely nothing from watching minimal amounts of TV lately? The only things I honestly care about any more are the Colbert Report & pro-wrestling, and I just watch those on their respective websites these days.

I've had plenty of different types of mac and cheese, but I'm still not a big fan as a whole. My mom makes a pretty decent kind on the holidays, where she burns the cheese and sprinkles breadcrumbs on top. I'll have some of that, but it's still not my preferred choice of food.

 

[Nel_Annette]

At work, they sometimes put deep-fried mac and cheese "bites" in the hot bar. It's freakin' delicious.

Am I the only one here besides Ed Liu who doesn't want to see anymore Marvel-related movies because of how Jack Kirby's estate (and many other creators and/or their estates) don't get any royalties?

 

[Peter Paltridge]

The movie studios and the press seem to be getting cocky about superhero movies. They think they never miss and that they can keep doing this forever. No, they'll get old eventually just like everything else.

Notice that a new Superman movie or a new Spider-Man movie doesn't get the hype that Iron Man 3 does. That's because Iron Man movies are relatively new. We just got our first superhero ensemble crossover movie last year, so of course it did huge numbers -- we'd never gotten one before. Superman and Spider-Man are most likely to just tread old ground at this point.

Eventually every superhero will have his or her own movie and they'll run out of ways to put them on screen. Then the public will lose interest.

So you get a bunch of money every time an Avengers movie comes out because of who you're related to? That's not fair either....

Except that DC has a fairly consistently good track record of paying royalties to creators and/or their estates. And by your logic, the E.R. Burroughs Estate should get any money from Tarzan or John Carter.

Am I the only one who feels just a little sorry for kids when they get some sort of discipline? While they may deserve it, it's not like I didn't have to go through that sort of thing. Also, I don't know the kid all that well. So I don't think of myself as better than them or anything like that. I remember what it was like for me. I could get into trouble at times, even if I wasn't one of those kids that was likely to get sent to a scared straight program. I tried to be good for the most part, but either my mother or a teacher could always find something to yell at me for, and it would be frustrating. I also remember how it was when I'd get in trouble for things I didn't do. Then you try to tell the person you didn't do it, and they just won't listen to you and punish you anyway. That always sucked.

 

[Michael24]

Getting in trouble for something you didn't do sucks, but that's just a part of childhood. I remember it happening to me occasionally as a kid, but by the next day I was over it. You just deal with it and move on.

But if a kid deserves it for something they did, then by all means they should be disciplined. I recall my brother and I getting disciplined with spankings, and we learned real fast what we could and couldn't do. (Although my brother was usually a little more apt to get in trouble than I was.)

 

[Gorbash]

I prefer talking to the kid, or having them be talked to. Hurting them I feel doesn't teach them discipline. (It never did for me.)
