Mr. T will always be Mr. T from the A-Team to me.

"I don’t want to be insensitive, but are people really dying so fast these days? That sucks."

Because there old. All of them are in there 60's, 70's and 80's.

"You should stick around (if this isn’t a fake account)"

Thanks, I will

"Was there any early signs growing up?"

Too many to count. I learn to speak at a later age then others. I wasn't able to read a book until I was 9. I always learnt slower then the other kids in my school and instructions and guides just didn't click.

"What was going to Special Education classes like?"

Very isolating. I couldn't be with any of friends and being special needs does single you out and make target for mockery. Not to mention it leaves a nasty stain on your record.

"If you could change it would you?"

Ever since I was a little girl all I've wanted to be is normal. Absolutely.

"I am very curious to know about how you found out about lemmy"

I found out about it on Wikipedia and thought it sounded cool.

"why you use it"

I like talking to interesting people.

"And why did you want to do an AMA."

I have a unique experience and perspective I couldn't share anywhere else.

"Also how has life been? How are you doing?"

Hard. I'm at that age where friends and family start dropping like flies and all I can do is watch knowing I'm next. I keep myself busy. I watch films, I like to bake/cook, I cycle a lot, I love to find new websites and I have a tradition of going to the bars every Friday.

"Has AI been any help?"

Not really. I used it a few times when it was new not much after that.

"You seem to have worked as an exotic dancer. How’s retirement like?"

Only for a little bit. The last job I had before retirement was as a barmaid. Retirement is alright.

It's no problem.

What about it made you laugh? Why did you think was funny? Not trying to be antagonistic or anything I'm just wondering.

Basic things like spelling and maths are really hard for me. I also have struggles with speech. I struggle with things like sounding out words, pronunciation and I also have a lisp.

Another big thing I've had to overcome is the sigma. There's a lot of sigma when it comes to being mentally challenged. This is why every word for it eventually becomes an insult. This has happened to words like "rêtrd", "moron" and "spd".

My parents was very disappointed in me for having to go to special ed classes in school. I remember one night in particular when I overheard them talking about me. They talking to each other about how embarrassing it was to be the only parents with a kid who had go to S.E classes. How I would always be a burden and who had no opportunities in the real world. I remember how I just cried my eyes out for hours after hearing that.

VIP rooms are for the fancy clubs. Not the dive bar one I worked in.

Non of the other girls were interested in me. At first it was nice being just being around such nice girls but over time it became torture. Imagine being a starving dog and being surrounded by tasty sausages you can't eat. There was that but also it was only supposed to be a temporary thing to begin with.

My song was 'If you think I'm sexy' by Rod Stewart. Funk and soul was pretty common as well as some disco. I remember hearing 'Ring my bell' by Anita Ward, 'You sexy thing' by Hot Chocolate, 'Twist and Shout' by The Beatles and 'She's a lady' by Tom Jones a lot.

I think there's been a massive mix up here. I meant in years not age.
