how should I handle this

I am looking for opinions on what you would do if the following happened to you. I have suffered from a rare medical condition since 2001. Initially I underwent an operation to remove a pituitary adenoma and within a year of that had to two revascularization procedures (STA-MCA bypasses) due to my internal carotid arteries being occluded from an inflammatory process (the rare medical condition--lymphocytic hypophysitis) in the pituitary area. Due to the devl ...

My family and I are going on vacation with my sisters and their husbands next week - 4 couples and 4 kids. I love getting together with my sisters because we don't do it often enough. The sister who arranges these things is so excited about the trip. She has a heart of gold and I only want to please her, but I am dreading it because of her husband. He is very nasty, says very inappropriate things in front of my children, and frequently makes snide comments about me a ...

I would like some opinions as well as how you handle the below situation. My husband and I are very involved with friends, and we do a lot of dinners at one another's house. Often, it's just my husband and I and just one other couple. Two of the couples in the crowd have a viewpoint that we are a guest in their house, and we are not to help clean up. I understand that, but with their viewpoint, hubby and I feel we are staying too late because they still have to clean up, which could ...

First, I have a huge fear of dentists and I mean HUGE. Not just I don't like to go, I don't go because I sometimes throw up before I have to go (thinks to a horrible childhood dentist, but it carried over to adult). I get sweaty and nervous and about break out crying thinking of having to go. So....here is it 12 years since my last dentist visit. I broke a tooth so had no choice. The only reason I was able to go my last dentist and tolerate it was because ...

Everyone needs to get a grip on their emotions. The reason why I delete a post is if a poster is personally insulting another poster. I'm not going to delete anyones post who is giving their opinion on an issue they feel is important to them. You want to insult me fine, but I'm not going to leave the insults up from one group and delete the insults from another. I was banning the people who were insulting but they didn't like that. It also does not help wh ...

I have almost zero tolerance to heat plus that annoying pin and needle thing happens if I get too hot. And anything over mid seventies is hot. Eighties today, fans, fans and fans! That is about the best that can be done. It gets really nice in the evening or early morning hours. =)So, what do you do? The car does have AC and it is AMAZING! It is a life saver! (never really had one until last year) ...

I have a lady who used to work for me and have been like kind of a grandmother figure to her 3 teens. Yesterday I took them to a Christmas parade in our town, cold like in the 30s but warmed up in a short while and by the time we arrived back to my home it was in the 50s-60s outside and my inside thermostat was set at 68. I asked the kids to take off their coats while in house and they stated they were cold, in fact one even was lying on the couch with the blanket she had taken to the parade t ...

I always enjoy dropping by here for a break, between tasks. I'm learning that I get cranky about politics. Obviously I need an outlet from stressful work, but I'm just not sure I can handle politics. I'm never cranky around people that I see in person. Why is it so hard to do on forums! I admire those who are able to be statesmanish, even on forums such as this. That is a goal I am setting for myself. ...

I moved to this very small town 5 years ago, and I have noticed that favoritism, who you know, how much money you have, etc. plays a HUGE part in kids sports, school activities, town activities, etc. Now, I'm not one of those mothers who thinks that my children are the best at everything they do and deserve to be the star all of the time. Also I have seen it happen to other kids that aren't my own and I've heard other parents complaining about among themselves whilst s ...

I have had repeated problems with these people and I'm done, but my daughter and their daughter are best friends and I just feel bad for the girls. Here's the situation. Over the weekend, I took both girls shopping for 8th grade graduation dresses. We go into Kohl's and the girls take off to the junior section to try on dressing while I shop around. They make their choices and proceed to the register where my daughter's friend says she has a $100 ...

My daughter is 13 and in the 7th grade. A few days ago, she tells me that she is in a "blue" mood because there are rumors being passed around about her. I ask her what the rumors are and she said her friends won't tell her because they don't want to hurt her feelings. Clearly, my daughter was upset. My daughter is a straight A student, very kind hearted, and well liked. She has lots of friends and tries to be nice to everyone. So someone spreading r ...
