  • How do you deal with a highly sensitive person?

    This person is in a group of mine so she can't be excluded. She's friendly and loves to be helpful. Too helpful by my standards. If she says something to me and I give her an answer(not rudely towards her at all) she literally puts her hands up and starts talking back to me in a way that basically says I have a better idea than you do or even why don't you just listen to me because I am positive that I know way more than you do. If I start to disagree she gets upset basically which puts me on the spot. So I have to make everything better just to get along. She's new and I think part of her problem is being able to communicate properly because her line of thinking is messed up by epilepsy. She does have to wear a seizure helmet. Is there any way to get along with her? She's 4 yrs younger btw. I'm getting to the point that I hesitate to say anything but know how she'd react to that. What are your thoughts on this?

  • Accidentally bought a size larger than what I was planning to but how to tell if coat is too big?

    Never thought I'd be exchanging for a smaller size but since it was on a particular hanger I made the stupid assumption that the coat was the size I needed. I've lost enough weight that I feel like I'm just about swimming in it and I don't like that the sleeves are extra roomy either. I need to put something on that won't allow cold breezes to get in. It gets in the negatives here which includes the wind chill factor. Yes I tried it on with layers and it still seemed to be a bit bigger than I thought it ought to of been. Thoughts?

  • Question for the ladies?

    I have never thought much about doing something nice for myself and when I am asked if I have I really have difficulty answering. I'm always doing something for others because I enjoy doing so and because I love them. But how can I switch gears and what exactly can I do? I would love some ideas. Thank you <3

  • Got a question about fingernails?

    My sister had a freak accident a few months ago that would of cost her her finger if she hadn't had fake nails. Bone went through both real and fake nail and so she required surgery which took time to heal. Her new nail came in but did not have a normal appearance and felt loose but she did her best to be careful when doing her daily activities etc. Well the other day she was putting laundry in a dryer and her fingernail snagged on some clothing and was ripped off the finger. After she got past the initial pain she looked at the finger and could see the beginning of another nail. Is it possible that she was growing a new nail and would it have caused the other to be loose? And what are the chances of the new nail being stronger?

  • How many of you have been watching the hearing today regarding the judge and Ford and what are your thoughts?

    I believe that this is going to change the lives of many in our country. Democrats believe that he is guilty in spite of every bit of information that was provided in his defense and I think this is an underhanded way to discourage people from entering politics in future because nobody wants to be given the same treatment as this judge was. Heaven help them if they drank alcohol in the past, went to parties or other events, or anything that the Democrats would use to make a person look like a alcoholic criminal who has anger issues etc. Even their yearbook isn't safe from scrutiny. This wasn't a trial but the Democrats made it into one. So if you are considering entering politics better get your facts etc in order and have a good number of people who will vouch for you. And whatever you do don't get involved in anything that could cost you a career in the government.

  • Why can't diabetes be less complicated?

    Not asking to whine about it but at the same time I wish my glucose levels had maintained this morning like it usually does. I went from a 114 at 5:51 a.m to a 145 in a couple of hours. I know why it did this but I am more aggravated than anything. I am at gym presently.

  • Would it be advisable to keep quiet about red pepper gel in a place that doesn't allow guns?

    I can understand the reason why only officers are allowed to enter the place armed. But if a client feels the need to arm herself with something like red pepper gel then she should be able to do so even if it means keeping quiet about what she has in her purse to avoid any problems and the only possible way for them to find out she had this would be if they got a police report stating that she used it in self defense which they would. Surely they wouldn't take away her right to carry a non lethal weapon knowing the circumstances?

  • If anybody can be convicted and imprisoned based on hearsay where is the justice?

    Think about it for a moment. If somebody accused you of wrongdoing years after the event and they didn't have anything to present to the court of your supposed wrongdoing and you got convicted how would you honestly feel about the justice system? I'm a firm believer in accountability when it comes to adults. If somebody commits a crime against you then it is your responsibility to report that person and provide what you are required to build your case as soon as possible NOT years down the road. But if you are able to get somebody convicted and imprisoned years after the incident with nothing to back you up to prove that he or she is guilty then that means anybody can be and that's not right. If I was the judge I'd throw her case out due to the fact that she didn't do what she should of years ago if indeed he did. She has no excuse for lack of accountability. And how many of you can remember an event that occurred on a specific date from years ago? It's not humanly possible with exception of deaths, births, and weddings.

  • How can I or somebody else help my sister who is soon to be married convince my future brother in law to dress formal for wedding?

    She has a fancy wedding dress worth 800 dollars and would like him to wear something that compliments the dress. Everybody else would be dressing formally even our dad who hates ties is going to.

  • What is the one or two things you wished people would understand about disability(yours or somebody else's)?

    Have you experienced discrimination? Prejudice? I have experienced prejudice by a young mother who, unfortunately, taught her child to judge people based on their appearances by looking at me with a look of revulsion. I have also been given unsolicited advice though well meaning on how to treat my skin condition but thankfully those individuals understood when I explained things. I have a rare genetic disease so naturally don't expect my condition to be well known and recognized by many people. I personally made the decision not to gamble with a baby's future life. 50/50 chance of a baby being born with it and there will come a point in their life where they'd become a poor surgical candidate in need of surgery. That's me. Mine is from a genetic mutation.

  • What is the ulterior motive of a narcissist if he or she persists on meeting somebody in his or her place instead of public?

    Why would the narcissist resist meeting in public places? Just wondering because I'm just trying to find out more. I didn't know about narcissism until last week and was a victim of love bombing. I ended communication when he became possessive of me in under 24 hours of meeting me. With as little information as I have on him I'm not certain that the police would have much to go on for me to charge him with stalking.

  • How can you be "My baby", "my woman" and belonging to somebody who you just met?

    Without a last name or physical address could the police find the person using his cell phone number and photo? Also could they get him for requesting full body photos?.I didn't send any because I refused to. He doesn't have my address however he is on occasion on one of my bus routes. Yes I can call 911 and I am being mindful when I have to be in public. But what I don't want is for him to board a particular bus so he cannot figure out where I live. I don't know if anything can be done regarding him so I'm now armed with maximum strength pepper gel that the authorities use and yes it has dye. I would rather have it and not have to use it versus getting beat and crap. I even suspect that he planned to get me in his apartment so he could rape me. I wasn't falling for that. He refused to meet in public places like our local cafe. But I'm free of him and hopefully I can save other lives.

  • GUYS does the name Orlando sound phony to you?

    I think I was given false identification by a man who supposedly was interested in me but turned out to be a possessive creep that's also on the strange side. Everybody says he's weird and my sister's boyfriend says the guy's not good. I tried to Google him by that name and all I got was prices for airfare to Orlando. I doubt anybody is going to be named anything like that. In all my 41 years I never met anybody with odd names because they likely didn't exist.
