I am really ticklish. And I register it as pain. So please do not test this.

*Raises hand* Me too. My kids don't quite understand it, and I don't know how to explain it to them. My dad used to tickle-torture me when I was little, not knowing that it frickin' HURT. Then again, my mom used to tell me of the time when I was a toddler and tripped in the front yard, knocking my forehead against the corner of a concrete patio - and got up and walked away with a welt but no tears. She thought that I didn't feel pain correctly, and perhaps I don't.

[solarbird]

Yeah, it's blinding. I really hate it.

Wow, another spectacular shot from the solarbird sensor array. Very nice colors. But that spider looks like it has antennae. Maybe it's some kind of aphid instead?

Oh wow, hundred questions time. I'm too private to answer something like that, but thanks for answering. Interesting tidbits, particularly the explanatory text. Moved out at 15? Wow, hard core. Seen the Northern Lights? Way cool.

I, too am really ticklish, and don't find it painful - but very invasive, which might be similar now that I think about it.

[solarbird]

Huh, yeah, almost certainly; I misread the antennae as legs earlier. Funny how that kind of mistake sticks with you.

I had a socially-acceptable excuse for moving out; boarding school. I just never really moved back for any longer than I could avoid it. Holidays with school friends, other time spent working for money; things like that.
