Those of you who have been reading the children/baby section have read about my daughter's apparent allergies.  But for those of you who don't read those threads.....there may be another way to guess if you're a secreter or not if you're not quite ready to dish out the money for the test.  Follow the secreter diet for a while (months), see how you feel, then switch to the non-secreter diet.  We did this for my daughter and her red eye circles vanished.  We now assume she's a nonnie like me.

*the highly sensitive person* by r. Elaine Aron

this lady sended me right now an e-mail to ask if I am still interested in her newsletter; so happy I am, because this it was what I tried to make on this board recently.

Quoted from purlgirl

what do you mean?

I guess normal is a relative term.  I’m alert and not cold.

This is so fascinating!  I always thought I was just weird because of my sensitivities:  I hate the soap aisle in the market, perfume smells are overpowering, (yes, Tina) sounds of the dentist's drill!! are like pain, my husband's watch ticking at night keeps me awake, can't face the window in the restaurant, night blindness...must look at the white line on the right to see (like Ribbit), the ordeal of shoe shopping like Linda.  I have preferences about the feel of the cups I use, the edge, the bottom, etc.  As a child, I had a collection of books that I couldn't stand to read because I didn't want to touch the edges of the pages which were stylishly rough and irregular.   I'm more tolerant now and have mellowed out a bit with age.  And since I've been on the BTD,  I don't have as much trouble driving at night.  And I'm not always freezing.  

It's so nice to know there is a reason for some of my quirks!  And that I'm not alone!

OSuzanna belatedly thanking lucindabryce for the PaintersKeys link.....hope you're doing well...

Wow, the page-edges reference stunned me. I think it's referred to as deckle-edged. I always thought of it as cheap bookbinding.....

Today I was just thinking of how differant I am but then thought of all you BTD peoples!  I then said to myself, "I am not the only one that have so many quirks!"  I then smiled to think I'm not alone when I say, "I'm allergic to that....", "My digestive system can't handle that.", "I get sick if I eat that."   I have always noticed how the smells in the soap isle at the stores have just about choked me, now I know why.    

I've always wondered what makes me tick, being on the BTD way has really lifted the fog and now I understand why I am the way I am!

it is a wonderful feeling!!

yep....Lolalein it is

and of course yep to all the other suggs .......

I'm not an O nonny, but I'd just like to say that I admire all O nonny's of the world!

I like the Bible verse you used below your post; I've been silently quoting this in my head everytime someone finds my allegiance to the BTD a little strange.  My father said "God made all food good", and yes he did, I say, "But not everyone can where pink!".  Some people just don't get it!  

Quoted Text

"But not everyone can where pink!".

can wear?

Hi all, as an A secretor I too am a highly sensitive person, just as a first child I did not allow me to be really impaired from this; few good friends, the amount of social interaction and the kind I can stand, and a iron will to cope as I can to all the best anad worst of life ahve made me stronger. Sometimes I just retreat in myself to deal better with my emotion and this allow me to recover.

Quoted from lola

can wear?

It may be a stretch, but I think of it in terms of individuality. The color pink clashes with a red-head; wheat in the same sense, clashes with type O blood.  

ahem I am fine with pink

Quoted from songstress

The color pink clashes with a red-head

I'm a red-head and I can wear pink!

Quoted from ISA-MANUELA

ahem I am fine with pink

OH NO- don't tell me you're a red-head?! (-and a pink fan, if so, I don't mean to offend!)
