| I find that the question "How are you?" is very difficult to answer. "I'm okay" is usually the correct answer on that one, unless they're asking about something specific. It's particularly confusing when you're not okay, though, and then you have to figure out if you're supposed to lie or not. (Lik... |

| I used to do that with my science teachers when I was little. I stopped after they always told me how it's rude to correct the teacher or interrupt the teacher or talk back to the teacher. I guess most people have an irrational fear of knowledge, especially 3rd grade science teachers. Hehehe, Maggi... |

| I love to think about formal clothes. I've been sewing a lot lately and I desperately want to make dresses and stuff.. but I'm not actually comfortable wearing them! Too bad there aren't more holidays like Halloween where you can wear things you wouldn't normally wear. There should be a dress-up da... |

| I want to learn to like skirts because they're fun to sew.. but they make me feel weird. Especially because I'm not good at sitting on chairs, I always sit on the floor, or if I am sitting on a chair, I'm still trying to sit as though I were sitting on the floor.. not so good for wearing skirts.

| When I became professionally aware of the effects of SSRI's I decided to come off them and replaced medication with mindfulness practice and a healthier regime in life. This took 17 months due to side-effects but is well worth it. I have had no urges to self-harm for some time and use the mindfulne... |

| 1) I like "gold toe" socks. 2) I've had no luck figuring out good sheets. The first sheet I bought when I first got married were the cheapest I could find, and lasted for many many years. These days I try to buy sheets that seem "good" and have high count (above 350) and they either never get soft, ... |

| Well, I'll focus on the math, since that's what I know about (I teach it.) It seems like you are saying one of two things: 1 -- you are pretty sure that the reason that you do poorly on the test is environmental. In that case, you bring that up pretty specifically to the teacher, and try to figure o... |
