| I don't drink often because I don't like the taste of alcohol. However, I love red wine (could drink a glass or two everyday if I could afford it) and I love champagne (moet brut is my favorite). |

| I have three tips to try. 1: Make two loops and tye them in a knot. That is the only way I know how to make a bow. 2: Get shoes that tie but you can slip on and off without untying them. I currently wear a pair of men's workboots and don't even bother to untie them any more. I can slip them on and ... |

I enjoy smoking, although I am taking a break from it right now.
I hate smoking in the presence of others, so I ALWAYS do it alone and it has NEVER made me feel unmotivated. It's actually done quite the opposite of that. |

| Hai! I just wanted to chime in because I have been in the waitress's position too many times to count. I agree with what others have stated, that banning you from the place was an overreaction. My guess is that this has possibly happened to the waitress before or they just really didn't know how to ... |

| Sorry that I can't offer you any advice. I have the same problem too. I tend to trust people and then find out that they had really poor intentions. It's heartbreaking. I've even experienced it with my extended family and then been told that "your family is not your friends" it is all very confusing... |

| I have no friends. I haven't had friends since my late teens when I was ousted from the group of females that I was friends with. I have not been able to make new friends since. I find it difficult to connect with women. I don't like to gossip. Doing it makes me feel awful because I can't stop think... |

Good advice, but a lot to remember.
a lot to think about in the throes of a conversation, which is probably why socializing is so exhaustive to me. |
