Nope!  And she isn't getting diapers either!  We put her out with the others at 12 weeks old     Hubby wasn't happy but I'm the one cleaning up the house.

9. I read very fast and if I'm in the mood I may finish seven or eight novels in a day.

Wow. Did you take a speed reading course?

No, and I didn't even know that it was abnormal until I was a teenager.  I'm autistic.  Maybe it's an idiot savant thing.

10.  I am working on writing another novel.

Another one? That's so cool... What's the first one?  

None are published.  Yet.  Doesn't just about everyone have an unpublished novel or three sitting around these days?
 
My first is titled Legacy of the Lamb.  It's about cloning and a fraud involving religion.  The lamb I'm talking about isn't Jesus, it's Dolly.  I think it needs a major re-work.  

The second has a working title of Beyond Suffering and has no real title yet, though I feel it is finished.  It's about a society in which, due to advanced technologies, people seldom suffer.  It is not a novel about hubris, I treat the technology as a very positive development.

The one I'm currently working on is tiled The Eyes of the Law and it's about a blind attorney whose vision is restored using nanotechnology.  I may squash it into a novella.

I've also started (just an outline and about 10,000 words) a book called The Zeitgeist Lever.  It's about what makes a person a person.  It follows the legal entanglements an extremely reconstructed man faces in trying to reclaim his estate from family who are fighting to have him declared dead because too much of his body is not factory original, so to speak.

2. I have to take a prescription medication twice a day to keep from suddenly dying. A side effect is that it makes me very tired all the time and sometimes lightheaded, but another side effect is that it keeps my mood swings and panic attacks in check. I am at a loss for words. I'm quite moved however.

7. Americans often annoy me. Same here, and I'm American...*shrugs*

Well what I should have said is that it keeps me from suddenly almost dying; my ICD would kick in at that point and shock me back to life.... not the best time I've ever had, hehe. Anyway, my doctor just switched my meds to one that should have less adverse side effects and will hopefully work at least as well as the other. So far, so good.   Now I just have to get used to being more active again.
