I love it!

It is distracting me. What is it for? distracting me? I want one. I don't need one but I want one. :smiley: ETA I want one in my office.

No hair pulling here.

Confession: My food intolerances are often a pain, hassle, limiting. I had had plenty of bland or less than satisfying meals over the years. However I'm used to that and I confess that I'm glad I have them because: Brownies, cake, ice cream, bread, and so many other things hold zero appeal to me. I will not eat them. It…

I have had to hold down my child (with medical personnel) to get blood drawn, and pre-surgery tests, make sure that he was producing the chemicals he needed to produce (he is very complicated) etc. When it is a matter of that child's health and life and not drawing the blood and not knowing could potentially lead to brain…

No hate here. I will express concern and encourage you to find healthy ways to learn self control. Hugs. ETA I have friends and other people in my life who have struggled with such issues. Some took it to very serious points. Others have lasting damage. I would not wish that on anyone. Please take care of you.

Super great coolness!

All kids have those moments. Kids with extra needs take those moments and rev them up. You are doing great!!

I think eating from the container is perfectly ok, if it is just you....but I can't judge you here if it is a shared container. :wink:

Oh, so sad. I'll cry with any of you if you need company.

I hope you get some relief.

I am smiling for you and your daughter. (HAPPY DANCE))

HUGS. Please continue taking care of you and please let us know how your visit goes!

Yes, this.

I like @kylerjaye 's advice. Also, you can request to lean back or lay down during a blood draw. Tell them you have a history of passing out and need any special treatment that they can offer, ask them to use a butterfly needle. (I think that is what it is called) Hugs.

Yay!!!!

Eeeks. I hope all goes well. Safe recovery. Ouch!!!

I get it. I don't think of any child as illegitimate. However, back in 1902 it was a huge stigma and I added that detail to try to convey how much my grandfather overcame. He was born to a young single mother in a small town. He didn't know who his father was and for a long time he didn't know who his mother was as he was…

I am holding a conversation with myself. :neutral: It is time for me to get some sleep. Goodnight all!

I am very much in support of anyone adding to their education. :smiley:

PS Hopefully your friend Alycia will want to go back too, but this is about you. You doing something wonderful and challenging to invest in you and it is not about anyone else. It is great if she joins you but do it for you even if you do it alone. xoxoxoxo

Assuming your average life expectancy is about 82... do you really believe anything is too late at age 26? My grandfather, born a (SusieQ is the B word for illegitimate on your list of words not to use?) born an illegitimate child in 1902 went back to school in the late 1950's for his third degree. That was almost…

I wondered if he might have been joking and wondered if he thought it were completely obvious (to him) that he was joking. You are smart and beautiful (young too) and you have TONS of potential. Totally get your tucus back in school. The sooner the better. I speak from loads of experience (and others here have taken…

That is sad. What a bummer. I was thinking of you and how excited you were to go hiking. I'm sorry it didn't work out today.

I agree completely.

Yay!!!!!

HUGS. If counselor is any good there is nothing to worry about. If counselor is not good fire him and get a different one. Many hugs and please take care of you.

They are kids books/movies but have a decent story to them for sheer escapism value. Quite a few adults (me included) enjoy them.

Welcome back!

@francl27 I am sorry you are frustrated and having a hard time. The menstrual cup changed my world for me. I am sorry it didn't behave for you today. HUGS.
