| What a terrible thing for your brother to do! I have seen some awful things that other siblings have done to their family members & it appalls me. My mother passed away in Nov 2010, & I just found out that my father dumped her ashes in their backyard. He also gave away their funeral plots, a... |

| I've been on this forum long enough to piss off plenty of people. I have a special knack for it, though I have been annoying in general for pretty much all my life. Some people are just better at making people mad than others. Sorry you feel like you don't belong. |

| What, no thunderstorm choice? What's up with that? I chose cold/rainy even though cold/damp makes my bones ache. Btw, we were hit with an awesome thunderstorm today. It was sooooo cool! |

| I'm always willing to say "NO", but I'm more interested in getting her to change her attitude and drop the manipulation. Well, my mom lived to be almost 91, & was like that to the very end. I do my best not to do that crap to my kids. They need to make their own choices, but I do give them advi... |

| Sadly this healthcare system (and calling it a system is nicer than it deserves) is more equipped to deal with children with autism spectrum than adults. That's a problem I had when I got diagnosed. We found plenty of AS help, but it was all for childbeasts. In the end I found a psychologist who wa... |

| I thought so. Thanks for the moral support. :) Welcome! Right now, I am locked into a home for a long time, & some very inconsiderate/rude neighbors moved in who love to practice music (guitar/bass/drums) loud enough that I can hear it inside with everything closed up & even with my own bac... |

| Since I haven't been a witness to your behavior, I cannot comment on that. I would say that since the flat is for you, you must like it. All properties require compromise....you will not find an exact match. I would say list 10 or so items that are requirements for your living situation. If most of... |

Since it is a business transaction, it is important for the client to approve of the location. If the client doesn't approve, there's no agreement. |

| Many times it's best to pick your battles, tequila. Perhaps it's to do with the fact that I'm embarrassing her. I'm plainly picking out the problem that might occur with a property, and listing the good parts, and politely declining whereas my mum is more equivocal. I get the impression that I'm of... |

| Whatever you do, don't sign anything until you are 100% happy the landlord is honouring everything he's told you is included in your rental. I get what you're saying about your mum, sometimes best to bite your tongue. Pick your arguments when they actually matter, this is just a flat. Good advice, ... |

Oh, I tell her what my decision is while I'm there, but she says "I like this flat a lot, I really do but it's not suitable". I state my own position now and later on, but I still feel a... |

| No, what I'm saying is that I actually agree with her almost all the time. I just feel like that she is saying that her opinion is more important than mine, even if I agree with it. It's like she is trying to decide my future for me, even if I agree with it. I want to ask questions about the proper... |

| Could you go round to look at potential homes on your own? Obviously if she is not with you, she won't be able to interject her opinion. Better yet, do you have someone who could be objective go with you? Easier said than done really, but perhaps it might be an option. My mother could not keep her t... |

| ^ Very well put, tomboy4good! I would never even care to look at a yearbook, provided I had one. I remember a group of kids in my 5th grade class ganging up to beat me. My teacher saved me before they could do real damage. My mother enrolled me in Catholic school after that, where I was not physica... |

| Thank you so much Tomboy. I really feel regretful that I opened up that yearbook and let curiousity get to me. I guess it's true what they say, "never look back."...at least in this case. This isn't just the bullies but people whom I've encountered on a regular basis. I'm not saying all bullies are... |
