1. Hello
2. I dislike it when people use so many periods in a single paragraph
3. That wasn't the best way to greet someone, but that is the way I work.
4. What's with the x's?

Hi.
I dislike the colour green and I dislike fizzy drinks (I cannot touch the bottle)
I am not the greatest greeter ever...we are quite similar
NT people use x's too,After 11 years of trying to "fit in" i have learnt that thats what they do.I do not know what it means though.
Bye.

Hi Lizzie, I am fairly new here and I can be EXTREMELY annoying because I talk & talk & post & post! As a co-worker once said, of my talkiness, "ON and ON and ON!!" I have aspie-like traits but am not yet dx'd. (Maybe the chattiness comes from my ADD.) I hope you like it here...it is friendly & fascinating. I shall have to watch my typing very carefully! :grin:

I talk alot too.
Yes I like it.
I have not found a typo yet.

Hello again, Lizzie :smile: ...what are E numbers?

Food colourings,preservatives,anticaking agents,ehancers,stabilizers...those are the main additives.They're unneccessary ingredients added to fiid ti make them look and taste nice and stay fresh for longer

E numbers are codes for food additives.

Wow, here I thought they had something to do with higher mathematics :oops: ...that IS an unusual interest, Lizzie! How did you get interested and where do you find the numbers? Are they on food labels?

I'm not sure how I got into it.Yes,they are on certain food labels,soups,breads,cakes,Smarties.They are everywhere.My two favourites and Aspartame(a sweetner-also known as nutrasweet) and Tartrazine(a yellow food dye)

How can you ignore all the hazardous chemicals in your daily food? :grin:

I tell you,its impossible.Alot of additives banned in the US are legal in the UK where I live?I must add-is this site age restricted?I have a feeling I am too young.I never break laws.I am only 12.
