| I very much dislike talking on the phone but I can make or take a call OK if it serves a purpose. What makes it so difficult is the fact that I have a hearing disorder (auditory processing disorder (apd)), which makes it sometimes sound like people mumble or I can't hear through background noise.

| Next year, a few weeks before your birthday, remind your friend that your birthday is coming up. And say you'd like to get together again but maybe a little earlier this time. Also, this reminds me of a similar situation that happened a few years ago. My brother had recently gotten engaged just befo... |

| There are a lot of good things about obamacare. But I don't like forcing people to have health insurance. I feel it should be a personal choice. I do hear of companies forcing employees to work 30 hours or less just so they don't have to cover insurance. I feel this is wrong and unethical. But part-... |

| in general I like the more mild tasting cheeses. As a child I couldn't stand tasting creamy dressings, especially ranch. I was as Catalina (red french) dressing eater, and if that wasn't available I would take Italian. as for other foods, green vegetables tend to be too bitter or have an off-putting... |

| My parents favored my brothers, definitely. I was kind of the family "maid". My 2nd oldest brother never had to clean, my mother and I usually ended up doing his chores for him. When I protested shew blew me off and told me to do the chores anyway. |

I have the biggest problems with the florescent lights and electronics humming. It drives me crazy. It's akin to the dripping faucet association. I ... |

What I've learned over time is that discussions about more serious issues or very sensitive issues should be done in person and less serious or sensitive issues can be done through email or text.

| I can control stimming while at work. Though work is sometimes very stressful. During those times I usually let it out when I get home. Sometimes during work i'll go into the bathroom stall and rock myself. This helps a lot too. |

| I played the tenor saxophone and flute when I was younger but not anymore. Now I started piano lessons last year. Not very good yet since i'm still new but i'm up to playing some real songs. Haven't tested myself in front of an audience yet with the piano. I enjoy it nonetheless. |

Next time this happens simply tell your girlfriend this and that if she really needs meds then she needs to call a doctor for a prescription. Otherwise it won't get to her in time to be u... |
