Gary has never seen a 'hooded towel'. Is a hooded towel just a clever/cute thing or does it has beneficial/usefulness for autistic people? Gary's youngest daughter works as a behavior therapist with autistic kids.

The hooded towel on my wife's mannequin. The dress form doesn't have a head, but u can get the general idea.
She does these in many different patterns.

You need those with the ferrets.

On our way home now. I've logged about 55,000 steps over the last three days.

I wore bad shoes (on purpose, because of the still recovering burn area), and my shins hurt. I've negotiated rest for the weekend.

I love the Snoopy one!

Bacon at least is low carb... (not so much the beer unfortunately).

And a mechanical pig!! Oh you have to take some pictures.

@Gary A. my downfall is sweets, ice cream and snacks, usually consumed at night before bed. Using My Fitness Pal, I can calculate the number steps I'm going to have to log in order to have that treat, sometimes I decide it's worth it, sometimes it's not. The point is it helps me make a better choice.

Ohhhh - that reminds me!

On one of this morning's traffic reports: The Harry Nice Bridge which carries US 301 across the Potomac River between near Newberg in Charles County, MD and Dalhlgren in King George County, VA was at one lane (normally two - one each way) because of a pig in the roadway. The pig's direction of travel, and thus the state to which he/she was trying to escape, was not divulged. Gotta love Southern MD!

Nothing as far as I am concerned. I have rented a portable defibrillator for the day and bought one of these.

I don't know if the hooded towel is specifically FOR the autistic kids, or just that the proceeds will go towards autism research, but one of the issues many autistic children/people have is a high sensitivity to sensory input and get overloaded quickly. There is research that shows the efficacy of "swaddling" as a way to calm a person when they are hitting overload; I've heard of weighted blankets, or blankets designed to be tied tightly around someone, so perhaps if that towel is FOR autistic children, the hood is there to help facilitate that protective swaddling for younger children.

I can't eat ice cream unless I want soil my drawers. I love ice cream too, especially pistachio, butter pecan. No more sweets for me except the weight watchers ones, only 2 points each. I really have cut a bunch of stuff out, sweets, fast food, regular pizza, etc. I was eating way too much. 6 donuts a day would put me way over my points allowed for a day (50). 6 donuts = 144 and I was doing that 3 days a week on top of dinner, fast food lunch, snacks....what a glutton I was.... I used to be pretty studly or the wife said I was. When I was a Marine, I was a 185 lbs, lean, mean, fighting Marine. I was all the up to a left guard weight of 320. I'm teetering on the 260's right now, hopefully by next weigh in.

Gary would look good in a hooded towel

We bought some for the granddaughters a couple of years ago. They were Disney Prices designs. They are great when we take the girls to the beach, pool etc. When it is time to go home they can wrap up in them and stay warm or just use them to warm up in if they get cold.
