Does it seem like this is your issue? If so, don't worry about it, 50% of us have it. Try using virgin coconut oil (from the health food store, or Amazon.com) on it. My daughter had it, we used coco oil, it cleared up.

Here is a pretty good article that was posted on this thread earlier today.

You are young, your relationship is young. Do you think you deserve something better than an unhappy person waiting to greet you every evening? If you don't think so... let me tell you...you do. Please take care of yourself. If you do, maybe your girlfriend will take care of herself as well.

I just spent 4 minutes, or so, trying to figure out how to memorize this, came up with the same gig. Wasted 3:30. I have got to learn to read the comments first.

Here is the big question... why did I not learn this in grade school? I will teach my kids tomorrow.

Here is an opinion piece from the ACLU that details how restrictive this can be for those in Wisconsin.

And, here is a very good article from Rolling Stone.

Basically, the issue of voter fraud has no real evidence to back it up. Some believe that the whole controversy is manufactured by Republicans, so that they can limit the input of those who traditionally vote Democrat (the financially disadvantaged).

I don't know about GA, but in IL, it is the agriculture committee that is determining anti-abortion legislation. );

You are all good, sweetie. Take care of yourself. :)

You know, I was the oldest of 3 girls, and I can totally relate to what you are saying. I was overprotected as well (but not to the extent it seems you are), and I did not have a close or open relationship with my parents (mostly mom, dad wasn't so involved) either. Don't let them kill you self esteem, figure out other ways to get it. Are you allowed to join activities at school? If so, join them, and participate. Do you read a lot? It will open up the world to you (I was limited in what I could read when I was your age by my parents, so I snuck them into the house and read in the middle of the night, or I read under my desk at school when I was supposed to be learning math!). And, just know, your p's are probably acting like this because it is what they know or have experienced... it is not easy to break habits or get out of "what will the neighbors/grandparents/folks at church think". Also, your younger sisters will have it much easier than you, because you are the guinea pig; don't be jealous, just revel in the fact that you will be stronger and more resourceful O.h, and if you can, get over the pansy thing, and TRY a talk with mom or dad. If you want, message me, and I can give you some pointers on the tactics my kids use with me, and what does and doesn't work.

Wow. I have kids your age, and I have my stupid rules too. But, how in the world are you going to learn to live in the world without any experience? Not past the driveway? Well, at least they allow you to have access to a computer, and obviously some freedom to use it in privacy. I am guessing you are the oldest, parents are always toughest on the oldest. If they will listen to you at all, have a talk with them. Tell them you want to earn some freedom, and ask what you would have to prove/show them in order to get it. Maybe they don't realize you are being so stifled? I wish you the best of luck.

Your post really moved me to tears. I am a single mom of 4, diagnosed with breast cancer 18 months ago. Although I had support from friends, it was really my kids who bore the brunt of the trials of treatment. I will forever be grateful for their love and compassion. And, I will forever be a little sad, for the fear and the "unknown" they had to go through; for a little of their childhood being lost to worry.

Is your mom on the 3 week chemo cycle? Although everyone is different, there are some similarities with it. I'll give you a little info, so you can be prepared:

1) Unless she is using a "cold cap", your mom will lose her hair. It is nearly universal that this occurs 14 days (give or take a day) from the first round of chemo (so, in 1 week). It will fall out in strands first, then clumps. I prepared the kiddos for this, so they weren't so frightened. I just want you to be ready. Don't be scared, it will grow back eventually. My kids were nice enough about it that I never felt the need to wear a wig (they are VERY uncomfortable).

2) I don't know if you are in school, but if so, check out if there is a support group for kids whose parents have cancer. My girls went to such a group, and it really helped them. If not, try to find someone you can talk to. You're going to need to vent about: how much work you have to do, how scared you are, how crabby/emotional your mom is.

3) Chemo can cause severe brain fog. Your mom will probably forget a whole bunch of stuff. We solved this by putting a notebook on the kitchen counter, and having everyone write notes to mom about schedules, what they needed, etc... This helped me keep a grip about what was going on, and I wasn't so forgetful. And, this brain fog lasts for a long time. We still have my notebook on the counter :)

4) Chemo, at least for me, was cumulative. Worse after every treatment. Just preparing you.

5) Don't "baby" your mom. She needs to get out and do when she feels good. She still wants to be the mom. Let her.

6) She will probably be a "different" person when all of this is said and done. For the better. Having to deal with your own mortality completely changes your priorities. You realize what is important and what can slide. It is a good thing, but will take awhile to become apparent.

7) That dry mouth will probably turn to a metallic taste, that will pretty much ruin food for enjoyment. If you want to get her a treat, really strong fruit flavored candy worked for me. So did strawberry Twizzlers.

Honestly, if there is anything you want to talk about, or any advice I can give to you, please message me. I honestly mean this. Even if it is just to bitch, or ask for information. Best of luck and strength to you and your siblings and your mommy :)

EDIT: When people ask you "what can we do?" Have a list ready! Take help, please. People want to help, but don't know how. Do you need meals? Gift certs for the local pizza place? Someone to come over and help clean house? Do the laundry? Rides to activities for you and your siblings? Help with shopping? TELL THEM!

I could be wrong here... but I think she may like you. Are you missing any other overt clues in this regard?

torah_sam · 1 month

Because I am curious, I googled: maggots in urethra. Turns out that, for a lot of people, this is a fetish. Just wow.

DMSO

You have to use PHARMACEUTICAL grade DMSO (it is a solvent, and brings any impurities into your system, so it is imperative you use pure dmso and put it onto clean skin). It is used extensively in veterinary medicine and by athletes. We use it all the time in my home for an array of sprains, burns, and other maladies. I wish more people knew about this... it really works.

Doesn't matter, really. You have a beautiful partner, with a great sense of humor. Lucky you.

anutensil · 2 months

I think you two must be in love. And, was it you that didn't do the toilet paper roll properly? Honestly? That is a little on the lazy side ;)
