I have spent the last couple of weeks studying the idea of happiness. I’ve looked at a couple of dozen different sources for a place to start. One article I came across that impressed me with its brevity, yet completeness … Continue reading The Pursuit of Happiness #2 – Where To Start…
RJsCorner is not known to shy away from controversial subjects, so with the post, I am “having my say” about the Critical Race Theory (CRT). Maybe we should call Critical Race Theory a cultural overhaul, since CRT seems to be … Continue reading A Cultural Overhaul
Those of us Baby Boomers on the spectrum have usually spent our lives trying to live up to other’s expectations. We were told very early own that we were too shy, so get over it and join the mainstream. That … Continue reading Living Up To Others Expectations…
Let’s spend this lazy Sunday after Thanksgiving talking about technological progress and how it is changing our world. Fifty years from now everthing we think of as the miracles of technology will be long forgotten and replace by much better … Continue reading Solutions Seeking Problems…
We Baby Boomers were the first generation to easily travel. Airplanes, the Interstate system and such allowed us to experience lots of regional and international foods that were not available to the previous generations who are presently the majority in … Continue reading RetComLife #18 – Technology-Driven Improvements in Dining.
I will be spending this day with some of the family clan. It’s been too many years since I have done that. I have a lot to be thankful for. Not the least of which is you guys who come … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving

I know this is nothing earth-shaking to you, but I take the agenda here at RJsCorner quite seriously. It is the roadmap for the many words I put here. I’m sure, to you, it has about as much significance as … Continue reading The Agenda, It Is A-Changing … Again
I took a test years ago to determine where I am on the Intelligence Spectrum. That test gave me a number to know where I am on that spectrum. My number was 135. I didn’t think much of it at … Continue reading It’s Time For A Re-Label…
I am approaching 5,000 posts here on RJsCorner, how can that be! If I divide that many posts among this blog’s thirteen years of existence, that adds up to a little over 1 post/day. That’s a lot of blogging (over … Continue reading The Evolution of RJsCorner
One thing that annoys me is that the sit-down dining option which is basically the only option aside from after the meal carry-outs in my retirement community wastes too much of my time. Having a full-service sit down dining is … Continue reading RetComLife #17 – Other Choices In Food Services
The strongest emotion that I think I have is empathy for those, like me, who have faced some pretty serious struggles through life. That, and my lack of a sense of accomplishment in this emotions series, is what this post … Continue reading About Emotions #8 – Summing It Up
Like a good aged wine, I am an acquired taste. The first view of RJsCorner might taste a little strong or bitter, but if you stick around, you just might learn to enjoy what you see here. I know I … Continue reading I Am An Acquired Taste
After some serious study about autism in general and Asperger’s in particular, I am convinced that the scientific community has a basic flaw when it comes to autism. That flaw is that 95% of the studies and articles about autism … Continue reading I Think The Scientific Community Has It Wrong About Autism Studies
You came on the world scene at the age of 11 when you started school strikes to do what you could to make people pay attention to climate change. You stopped eating and talking and fell into depression that scared … Continue reading Here’s To You Greta…
Let’s do another visit to Disney World for this “Picture Saturday”. This one is from the musical extravaganza “Lion King”. This was maybe my favorite picture from that 2016 visit. Even though I couldn’t hear the music, I could feel … Continue reading Lion King…
My retirement community is struggling to keep the dining services up to their usual standards. Wait staff is nearly impossible to find during this pandemic, so the salaried staff are having to provide that service in addition to their usual responsibilities. That is putting stress on everyone. The fact that the meals here cater almost exclusively to those who like bland unseasoned foods is a serious minus for many of us! Today’s Featured Entrée here is beef enchiladas, and they clearly state (not spicy). For someone like me, who enjoys a wide variety of tastes and seasoning, that is very … Continue reading RetComLife #16 – Cloud Kitchens & Café Dining
I think I am finally at the point in my life that I am ready to put the concept of “Simplify” more fully into my daily life. All these years of collecting things with that word in them is finally … Continue reading Simplicity/Happiness Link…
I have learned over my life that to survive as a deaf person on the Spectrum, I need to control my emotions. That doesn’t mean to stifle them, but to instead understand where they are coming from and to try … Continue reading About Emotions #7 – Confusion Among the Experts… And A Path Forward
I had my annual physical a few weeks ago and my doctor proclaimed that I was in good shape, at least for someone my age. After I left, she texted me that she forgot to mention that she scheduled me … Continue reading Why More Tests??
If you are a regular here at RJsCorner, you know that I have said that I had more meltdowns during the last week of my wife’s life than I thought I could endure. They came so frequently that I began … Continue reading One Last Look At My Aspie Meltdowns…
