| Ah, thank you spiritblooms. Problem is, he's taken advantage of the side of me that cares for far too long. Journaling is a good suggestion. Now if only I can bring myself to pick up the book.... I remember journaling about him years ago when I had blocked out all the crap. I read two sentences and ... |

| So, yeah, i am so tired of the bs in my life. I concluded that it was all coming from my father, who is an abusive narcissist. Once I told him off, he sent me angry email and text, basically spewing more bulls*** at me. Then, my aunt, his sister, got involved. We discovered that she is really really... |

| Yes, I've passed a few oral exams in my day. Best thing to do is practice, practice, practice. Sounds stereotypical, but it may help things go smoother for you. |

| because that's what I've considered as "required" for so many years that it's become a dull, bitter habbit. Hello! Normally I don't like to point out spelling errors, but you put too b's in habit, so I read it as "hobbit." I read your sentence as "a dull, bitter hobbit." And for some reason, I felt... |

They did two art tests involving normally developing art students (ND), people with autism, and people with intellectual disability (ID). They discovered that the ND people were the most cr... |

Interesting! About the sharing experiences and solutions. Cool! Also, the roads are something I really REALLY look forward to. The worst roads in LA are decent for where I'm from, which is NY, so there's always potholes, cracks, and construction.  |
